Micah’s Cast+family fun

Here is day 1 of getting the cast on!! It was a sad moment in the doctors office hearing the hard truth of what life will look like in a cast- 5weeks until our next appt, no contact sports for 12 weeks...no football. And that’s when the tears were flowing for both Micah and I. We are sad this happened, bummed out that his 6th grade year in the first fall of middle school will be in a cast. However, in it all Micah has been staying pretty positive and trying to keep smiling. We both have moments though that we will make eye contact with one another and him or I will bust into tears....it’s real. Our family plans continued and thankfully Micah’s pain level was very minimal and we could still go out to pizza and to the ski show!! It was so fun!We took grandpa with us and I’m so glad I could spend some time w my dad as life has been so full this summer. I look up to my dad in so many ways...he was telling me last week he biked from his house down to the Mississippi River and back! Isn’t that so cool?! My dad is an awesome guy and teaches me so much about life.A pic with my dad by the Mississippi River❤️In the crazy of Micah breaking his arm, this guy felt awful. Guilty of breaking Micahs arm and living with the fact that his brother has to be in a cast for weeks. I am so proud of my Drew for stepping up as the biggest brother and trying to process when bad things happen and learning to forgive himself for the mistake. Prayers for both my big guys!!It was a special night as a family. Hangout time watching one of our favorite family activities--boating on the water!! Fun to hear my 5 guys oooing and awwwing over the awesome ski tricks!💚💚💚💚💚It’s an unpredictable life living with these 5 but I wouldn’t have it any other way!! 

Lord, continue to watch over our family and show me how to love, guide and build up who you are leading them to be and become. As for me and my house, we will serve you Lord...in it all💚💚💚💚💚It was a fun weekend together. Heading to the Vikings game on Friday night was a blast!  The Vikings won 21-20 and it was a great game!! Lots of fun cheering together and eating treats.

Lovin’ the field!!The guys enjoyed the evening and being together. I’m soaking up these last few weeks before school starts! 

 The next day we enjoyed a nice breakfast at mom and dads before heading out to our family picnic! I always enjoy connecting with my cousins and their families each year. Very special we keep getting together.My dad is famous for his birthday cakes and I love seeing all the kids looking at the cake...My dad really makes the BEST cake!!!Mom and Lila Kate💕I just can’t believe my little god-daughter is heading to kindergarten already!! I will be praying for her on Wednesday September 5th!💕

Love this picture with my cousin Megan. How often do we take pics at our age together?? I will cherish this photo forever. Thankful for family.Grandpa Curt and my big guys...doesn’t get much sweeter. Family truly is everything❤️

One last week yet of summer and I’m going to enjoy each and everyday!!☀️

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
