Great Week+Halloween Fun!

1. Girl Weekend! One of my favorite weekends of the year is getting away with my mom for a few days at the lake each fall. I love starting out our time together getting messages and eating lunch at Panera. Shopping at Albertville on our way to the lake has become a great tradition as well! We love eating chicken broccoli roll ups for our suppers, watching silly girl movies and studying together in Gods word. I value this time with my mom so much. Truly thankful for the BEST mom.

2. Reading to dad- Jacob has become such a great reader. It has been so much fun listening to him read to us each night. Jacob loves to read to dad whenever he can and they always laugh at how silly the books are!

3. Pumpkin Carving! A fun tradition for us. We decided to carve 3 pumpkins, Drew volunteered to help Jake out! 

Our final product! I think they look so great.

4. School Costume Parade! Halloween was a fun day at school. Jake and Caleb had a great time celebrating with their class and joining in the costume parade at school. Kyle and I had fun watching them go by!Jake’s 1st grade class!

5. Trick or treating begins! After school we took the boys down Main Street to trick or treat in all the stores! Very fun!We quickly ate supper and headed out in our favorite neighborhood to trick or treat! The weather was perfect!

Micah found something last minute and headed out with his buddies Ethan and Sam.

Ready to GO!!

Drew and Kahne went as "air bodies" and Charlie came too!! Glad the boys had a fun night.

It was a full week with Halloween and fun activities!! Happy Halloween 2018🎃

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...
