Kalahari!

Life is good when you get to pull out of the driveway with your best friend and 4 amazing boys to escape for a few days and have some fun! We had an incredible time away as a family this week in the dells at Kalahari. We all agree it is our new favorite place to go!
Drew and Micah enjoyed time away together messin' around and had fun racing each other on the slides! We always say that no matter what, brothers stick together!
We showed up each morning at 8:45 to get personal lessons on surfing and the boys really started to get a handle on it. It was fun to watch and we took loads of videos the boys had fun watching later.

Even Kyle really got into it and enjoyed showing off some fun tricks! I love watching him relax and play with the boys. One of my favorite reasons in getting him away!
Jman had fun too in his own style and loved feeling apart of the boys! Notice his MooseJaw tattoo that him and Micah stuck on the 1st night in the dells!

You guys all looked like naturals on the boards. Surfing was a success.
I tend to only pack the foods I know the boys enjoy.... which clearly shows we didn't hit the fruits and oatmeal very strong. Donuts and juice for these champions!
and pizza!
Our fam highly recommends going to the dells during the week when you get the place to mostly yourselves! One day Micah and Caleb hit the same water slide 10 times in maybe 15 minutes and were going for a record number! Fun memories for us.
Kyle wanted his pic with the boys in this Instagram photo booth. Look at my silly boys!
This ride made me want to throw up just looking at it in motion. It flipped around about 1,000 times! No joke, Caleb said if it would have spun around anymore times he really would have thrown up! That was definitely a "1 and done" kind of ride. Blahhhh!
Mini golf competitons! Daddy proved to be pretty awesome at this.

The theme park was packed with activities to do. Thankfully we did have a few stop and chill moments.  My crew.
The high ropes course was so cool for the boys. Between this and laser tag we were lovin' it. They all started out pretty scared on the ropes course but with more and more practice I think they could have started swinging from all the ropes and doing backflips on the beams.
Our trip was such a thrill and packed with so much fun.
 Watch out if you ever play laser tag with us because we are fierce!!!
Kalahari, we will be back for more!!

Grandmas Marathon- getting faster!!

3:00:38 Grandmas Marathon PR!! I’m still smiling…things are coming along nicely in my marathon expertise! Haha, Im just being silly but I really am learning more as I go-what works best for me, what doesn’t.  June 17th was a blast!! Cramps hit strong in my left calf around mile 18 and then my pace got more limited as I went, I was so scared I would pull something that I tried to find the balance of push and hold up! Super proud of this race and the battle I fought. The marathon is a beast and continues to challenge me! Games ON still for the CIM Marathon on December 3rd. 😁First up though, trails and less miles for me for awhile. My friend Leah is a true gem, someone I really enjoy sharing running miles and life with. Kyle, Micah and I enjoyed time with Leah’s family in Duluth. Her sister Sara and brother-in-law Mike made us feel so welcome and special!  I’ve been getting faster and continue to PR each year since my late 30s, in fact the last time I raced Grandmas Marathon I ran a 3:16

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

Friday came quick!😅

 These full days have gone by super fast this week. Teaching full days to students who need my full attention, getting over a cold this week, spending time with all the boys each night, and keeping up with Kyle’s busy church schedule has had us all feeling like it has been a quick week! Micah and Caleb had a tennis meeting this week to get ready for their spring season, Kyle and I are really excited to cheer them on soon! Maybe sooner with how warm our weather has been this winter. It’s been fun to hear that Micah has been at the courts a lot already with his buddies, praying he has a solid season ahead for his Junior year.  Micah will be 17yrs old next Tuesday! It’s so crazy to think I have an 18yr old, almost 17yr old, 15yr old, and 12yr old….I wish I could keep them little.❤️ Each season of life looks so different. I never imagined this season looking the way it does. Working full time was never a dream of mine with such a busy family. However, God is so BIG. He is so much better in
