Friday Top5! including~birthday parties+Jake turns 8!+Living Water Gala

Friday Top5!
1. Drew's football&sleepover party! These guys had a great time celebrating Drew last weekend. They came over and headed to the football game in Rice Lake, having pizza on their way! After the game they came over for the night to sleepover. In the morning I found them all playing football together! Drew is so blessed w great friends and brothers!
2. Jacob turns 8 today! Oct. 12th Jake turned 8 on Saturday which worked out perfect to include his friend birthday party the same day!! These guys play at recess together every single day so it wasn’t hard to entertain them! They enjoyed playing football, kick ball and basketball. Jake loved it!! He had a huge smile all afternoon.

 3. Flannel Fest+log rolling! Sunday was Flannel fest at church and it was an excellent turnout! Lots of music and a fun morning for everyone!! Kyle was a great sport at giving log rolling a try!😉
 4. Dad knee surgery. Dad had knee surgery last Tuesday so I drove down to sit with my mom during surgery. So thankful everything went really well and dad headed home Thursday. His leg is pretty sore still so prayers for a speedy recovery are needed.
 5. Living Water International's 2019 Gala in Houston! We were so spoiled! Kyle received an email of an amazing invitation to join Living Waters Annual Gala in Houston and we just couldn’t pass this up! I love traveling with Kyle and we so enjoyed the travel and meeting new people God placed before us for the two days we were gone. Ministry always is an adventure when God is orchestrating His great plan. I see God doing just that with Kyle and I right now as we continue down this new season!
The boys had no school Thursday or Friday while we were in Houston. They enjoyed time with Kyle’s parents making fun memories together hunting for treasure at the park, and doing the ropes course at MOA. We have also enjoyed home and the beautiful weather over this long weekend. The leaves are just gorgeous 🍁and the sunshine ☀️ so needed!!! It has been a wonderful weekend. ❤️

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...
