Summer Kickoff!

Our week at Webb lake with my family has truly become our Summer Kickoff! We had an incredible week away. We completely shut down, rest and enjoy being together with no distractions.  We got on the beach the moment we got there... the weather was perfect.  Here are some pics from our vacation!
This was our first day... we didn't waste time in the cabin... we went right to the beach!
Jake and Drew fishing with grandpa.
The boys stayed in the water all week... day and night
Sunset with our boat
Every evening looked similar to this.
Fun in the water, skiing!!


priceless family on the beach time.
The guys are relaxing and enjoying time together.
Just hanging around!
Found these 4 at the playground chillin'
Girls shopping and lunch day in Walker!
Famous turtle races!

Caleb turned 8 at the lake!! His brothers were so excited to celebrate him! Lots of singing!
Bubba got a new kneeboard so he hopped on the table to try it out.
Looks great!
We all went into town for ice cream with the birthday boy!
Can't believe he is 8 already... we love you so much Caleb James! We are so glad God blessed our family with you! You are silly, sweet, caring, thoughtful and your giggle makes us all smile!
Caleb's cake! You're 8!!

Feeling extra special!!

The guys decided to go wake boarding TOGETHER!!! They did awesome!!! They say that when Jake is ready there is plenty of room for 5 guys on the lake!
Fishing~



Great fishing this year with grandpa and being in the boat. The boys really look forward to time fishing at the lake.
Mom and Dad continue to make this tradition happen and we are so grateful for the legacy they are leaving with us...the lake has become not only a favorite week of the year for Kyle and I but for our 4 boys. It is by far one of our favorite weeks of the year and we hope to continue many more years together.
Thankful.
The whole crew. Blessed beyond measure.
Family. God's incredible gift to us. 
Summer Kickoff!

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...
