Lake Beauty 2018

The weather cooled down nice for camp. It felt good to have a bit cooler temps for a few days after coming off that hot heat!! We pulled into camp Monday afternoon and in no time had our basketball shorts, shoes and balls in hand heading to the camps gym in no time. The boys hooked up with their Niven friends and began playing some b-ball together. Kyle and I, Michelle and Cory headed over to watch our guys play and it was lots of fun visiting together and cheering for our guys until it happened....I could sense the heat building between Drew and Micah and I should have intervened 5minutes earlier because Drew gave Micah a bit of a push into the gym wall and bam Micah hit the wall creating a minor concussion that slammed him down on the gym floor breaking his arm, right above the wrist. Ugh!! And so that’s how our camp week begin! 


The good news however is Micah found so many ways to still have a great week at camp anyway! Horseback riding, going on the zip line, swimming with a bag on his arm, playing games and chillin’ in a canoe with me! Loved his positive attitude. So many days I am seeing I live in everyday chaos with 5 guys! Horseback riding was a highlight for us. It was a beautiful day to horseback ride together as a family. Fun memories!!Rock wall and zip line fun! Drew loved it and had a big smile the whole time. Caleb had a fun time rock climbing and going down the zip line too!! At the beach smiles from our Jake!! He really enjoyed kayaking this week in the kid kayaks and I enjoyed kayaking with him this week!Here’s our Cedarbrook crew!!! We are beyond blessed by our team!!! Great week with incredible people who love God with ALL their hearts!!❤️❤️Lake Beauty 2018 staff retreat.

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
