Spring moments you just can't miss out on!

We jump from one sport or activity to the next very quickly these days, so I wanted to take a moment to highlight some fun spring memories made so far that you can't miss out on!
 Micah's baseball season is in full swing and they are doing really well! Micah's favorite position is pitching and he is really good at it. He has one fast and strong pitch that has struck out many batters so far this season! Keep it up Micah!
 Jake man wrapped up 4k last week and feeling pretty excited to start up kindergarten in the fall!
 Drew's baseball team has had some tough competition this year but there's no stopping this Mustang team, they are winning many games even when the going gets tough! Drew is a great pitcher and short stop player. Again striking out many batters this season! The Gboys are crushing it at pitching!
 Kyle and I went to the Pioneer Village Museum with Caleb last week and had a blast! Caleb has the greatest friends and we had a fun day together. The weather was beautiful!
 Our big guys ran in the Get It Dunn 5k last weekend and they both did fantastic!!! Made my heart so proud! I so love to run but to be honest it may almost be just as great to watch our children do what they are passionate about! So glad I didn't run so that I could cheer on all the runners, especially my 2 favorites. Best part about being mom!
 Micah, you have such great perseverance. You are always ready for a challenge and determined to see it through. Great great quality.
 Drew, you are not my endurance runner but you can conquer ANYTHING with God's help and when you believe in yourself. This picture shows me that this was hard for you, but I couldn't be more proud to see that look that says, I can do this. It may not be all smiles, but it will get done. You make me so very proud.
 Jake and I are soaking up each and every moment together before our home gets very noisy and full of more boys then just 1. My final days and hours are limited before I no longer have every moment to sing, play, read books to, and spoil rotten without the other boys around! Love you man.
Rick and Terri came to watch Micah play baseball this week! Fun night for Micah to pitch for his Nana and GG and hear them cheer!! So glad they could come see him play!

These days are fun and full! More to come!!

Getting better and getting ready to go home!

Hey There! We thank all of you so much for all of your prayer support through this entire process. Go sure had His hand in this from the beginning. Anna and Micah are both doing just great. Yesterday was a hard day for Anna, She was very tired and had a hard time as the Doctors began to take her off of some of the pain meds she was not feeling good. She began to get a high temp,but that was all taken care of by early in the night and she slept great. She will be again trying to get of the IV pain meds and move to pills, if this goes well today we will be on our way home to see Drew tomorrow. Anna and I are both really loving the calm personality that God gave to little Micah as we know the high energy that Drew has waiting for us at home. We can't wait to see his little smile again and hear all of his animal noises and cars sounds. It will be so great to see the way that God grows these two boys only 17 months apart. It will be crazy and great all at the same time. Pray ...

Big Bro Twin Cities Champion/Little Sis Big Woods 1/2 Marathon Champion

My brother and I are the crazy runners in our family! We took on the Twin Cities Marathon challenge on October 7th and trained like mad to get ready for the event. We began the morning feeling great and ready to take on the challenge before us, yet not knowing only one of us would finish. Ben was taking on his first marathon and was looking forward to finishing and enjoying this wild adventure! I however have done a few of these already and was aimed to kick some butt in the process. So, different goals, but the same idea in mind-lets run the race for Christ. The race did not go as planned for me. The weather was extremely hot and humid and it totally took over my body. All I can really remember is thinking, "Wow it is really hot and I am really sweating!" With little to drink I passed out at mile 10 of the marathon! My time at that point was 1 hour 7 minutes..... on track for an amazing marathon. Truly discouraged I attempted to get back in the race to pass out AGAIN at mil...

Lately  I have been asked by many- “Now that you’ve accomplished one of your biggest goals, what’s next??” and to be honest I have been really soaking up my 2:58:01 marathon accomplishment and feeling extremely grateful my body felt so strong and healthy for that race. I will never take for granted a healthy body… many of you know my journey has included some pretty tough injuries along the way. So first, I really haven’t hurried to find a “next goal” but have sat in awe and thankfulness. All that to say I am a goal kinda girl and love a good challenge. So on Jan 1, 2024 I signed up to race the Javelina Jundred with some of my greatest running buddies! It will be my 2nd 100miler and this time will be held in Arizona (not Iowa) where it will be very hot. My goal tho will be to have a blast with running friends and finish the race- different then a road race goal….  I really love a good challenge!!  easy trail runs have started….and at the perfect time when the wild flowers...
