School Shopping!

One of my favorite traditions with the boys is taking each of them school shopping. It is so special to have that time with them to talk, laugh and shop!! Each boy has their own sporty style and I cherish this time so much. 
Caleb and I had lunch at Subway and hit the mall in Eau Claire. He found some great t-shirts and long pants for fall! I love my chats with Caleb because they are so funny and free spirited.  He is such a sweet boy and although not a picky shopper we had a great time shopping at TjMaxx! We picked up Icees on our way home! Love you Bubba!
Jake chose the same spot and really wanted to shop a lot at Scheel's, his very favorite store. He is so picky with clothes and style so it was great to have him along to choose his 1st day of Kindergarten outfit! He had so much fun shopping and we had one big stack of clothes! He picked Subway as well! Jman I'm so excited for you to head to school this year!
Micah and I took off to Woodbury and decided to start our shopping day at Buffalo Wild Wings! We sat on the same side of a booth together and watched little league baseball on one of the big screens! We ordered warm pretzels and cheese dip for our appetizer! Great conversations with Micah and we had a blast shopping at Kohl's together! Micah, thank you for spending time with me! 
Drew and I also headed to Woodbury stopping at Subway for lunch on our way down! The boys really enjoy Subway I guess! It was fun letting each boy choose where to go! Drew's thought was that we could get going on shopping and then have time after for ice cream! I like his kind of thinking! We shopped a ton and looked at so many different styles for middle school. I think him and I will need to head out again in a few weeks because some of the clothes were picked over and he still needs some jeans and basketball pants. But, overall it was a success and we found some great stuff at Dick's! The hat he is wearing was a must!! Drew, I am excited for you to start middle school! 

Love you boys, thank you for such a fun day with EACH of you!!! You are so special to me!!!
Love~mom

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...
