Last tourney for Micah+All Stars Tournament!

We have gotten so comfortable in our baseball life that we just know how to do things right! Micah and Drew played in some big tournaments a few weekends ago...take a peak at our set up below in the pouring rain, still managing to have a great time together! Homemade popcorn in a paper bag and watermelon, what more could you want? Life w boys!


Micah pitched great! He gets really excited when the coach puts him in...
Micah loves to cheer for his friends.  Looking focused on the game at hand.
With a loss that ended the season for our 10u boys, the coach had nothing but wonderful things to say to these boys. We have been so blessed by great coaches in Menomonie. Proud of you Micah for playing hard this year not only in the sport but as a great team mate. Daddy and I think you are a Star!

Heading to see Drew play in the All-Star tournament the next day was really nice as I wasn't sure I'd be able to see him play at all with Micah also playing. This all-star tournament is really an honor to be apart of and I am glad Drew had the opportunity to play in it this year. The Menomonie 11u team votes for 3-4 boys from their team they think deserve to play in the "all-star tournament" and then other 11u boys from the surrounding towns do the same on their teams to make up a solid team of boys together that go down to the cities to be apart of this tournament. They all wear their own jerseys so at times I got confused who was on our team!
Sadly, it poured rain and the game got called at the 4th inning, losing 7-9. We were all pretty bummed because it was so close! Thankfully they won both their games on Saturday so overall it was a really fun weekend.
The complete all-star team!!! Menomonie, Hudson, New Richmond and St. Croix Falls! You guys ROCKED!!
A few pics to wrap up the season with... never gets old watching Drew pitch.
Here is our view most of the time! Through the fence.
Receiving their 3rd place trophy's!
Love you Drew man! You proved that when you love a sport and you work hard, great things happen. Praying you will always have a heart of gold 1st, and your talents and abilities shine 2nd.  Remember what we say, "It's more important who we are then what we do!"

Team with Trophies!
Team rockin' their All-Star shirts!
Our Menomonie 11u boys! Great weekend.

Drew and Micah, what an AWESOME baseball season!!! Love you guys! 2017.

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...
