Family pics+Bdayweek+basketball!!

It has been such a great week. Filled with warm snuggles under blankets, eating chocolate cake, reading books in bed, doing puzzles, dancing with the puppies in the kitchen, and several basketball practices and school ball games!! Here are a few highlights of our week starting off with family pics!

1. Family Pics- we thought it would be really fun to try and get a few pics with Bailey+Duke! They turned out cute! Here is a favorite one!! Thank you to Hannah Krista from church for taking some photos and sharing her talent with us. She did so great with our crew!!

2. Coffee+birthday celebrating! 38. Another year older and feeling healthy and strong. Thankful for some time to refresh at Caribou and work on my 19 for 2019 goals for next year! I still have so many things I want to strive for and focus in on for the coming year! I love making new goals. It was a great birthday at home with my boys and Kyle. My favorite way to celebrate is to be with my crew and favorite people. Thankful for my wonderful family and friends who love and care for me and made me feel incredibly special on my day. ❤️ 38 is going to be great!3. Caleb’s 4th grade concert. Kyle and I enjoyed Caleb’s school concert on Thursday afternoon!! He sang great and played so nicely on the recorder. Fun afternoon listening to some great music.

4.School Art! The boys are showing what they are creating and have created!! I love their thoughtfulness that goes into their art pieces and hearing about their ideas in deciding what to make! Such precious years.5. Drew having some youth group fun! 7th grade has loosened Drew up to trying new things!! Here he volunteered to participate in the egg blow game- got a little messy! 6.

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...

trails+goals🍃

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...
