Cabin time!

Some of our greatest memories each summer come from going to the cabin in Spicer, Mn! And each summer we meet up with our cousins Callie, Joey and Sam, aunt Sara and uncle Phil,  and get to chill with them for a few days as well! So many pics on this blog but I just have to post them all so that we can look back and fully capture our August week with family, fun and lots of laughter together!
Such a great cousin pic! Love Callie messin' with Joe in this one! Real and raw at it's best.
Hot tub mania!! If you couldn't find kids, look in the hot tub!!!
Summer smiles at the Spicer park!
Callie and Jacob swinging!
Our favorite spot to eat supper in the summer. Looking at the lake and enjoying chat time.
Our little men playing yard games!
Bean bag toss was an incredibly HUGE hit this summer!!! Why not play at 10pm with the lights on?!
Shakin' out some tricks on the lake!
Loved soaking up my time with these very special boys. Joey, getting so tall and so talkative. Sam, wanting to try knee boarding!
My dudes in the hot tub!
Back to the bean bag game! This time with dad!
Drew loves the jet ski and CAN NOT wait until he can cruise out on his own! Until then though he will ask Kyle and I often to go out with him....lets just say I do this out of love for my sweet Drew.... no fix for me. No, I would go for a stroll on the jet ski.... Drew's only goal is to rip around and if we fall off...BONUS!! I may start wearing my goggles in fear my contacts will pop out of my head at the speed and rip around! Great pic of Drew and dad.
Our new knee boarder this summer! Jacob Kyle!
Wake boarders!!


The slip-in-slide was an ultimate favorite this year!!


I think Jacob is loving time with the bros and daddy!

Green Lake Triathlon was a rainy but fun 1st time experience!! I will for sure be back next year as the swimming portion to my race was cancelled due to lots of rain and lightning!! However, the atmosphere and fun racing morning didn't disappoint. Back next year for sure!!
It was wet but it was so much fun!!! Thankful for my crew for cheering!! Up next~ signed up for the Stillwater Triathlon in September to check out the swimming portion and put my training and hard work into another race this year! Hoping for better weather!!
Great week at the cabin and fun memories for Us!

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...
