Before we head into November••Friday Top5!!


Getting Sick! The start of my week was a bit rough with losing my voice and not feeling the best! Getting sick is the worst and I am so glad my boys haven't gotten my terrible, rotten, no good, very bad cold. It is Friday Nov. 1st and I am finally feeling most like myself! However, it was a very good week as a family so here are our top5 for the week!

1. Subbing and spying my boys! I was para subbing on Monday and came into the library to find my boys working together on a project! Best part about working at the school my boys go to! 5th grade students work with 2nd grade students as "classroom buddies" and my boys happen to be buddies this year! This is so cool because it is the highlight to Jake's week. 

 2. Tuesday time with Drew! Tuesday I scooped Drew up from school and we headed to Eau Claire to eat lunch at our favorite spot, Chipotle! Then headed to TJ Maxx and Scheels for some black sweatpants and a fresh sweatshirt. It was a really nice afternoon together. Thankful for one on one time.


3. Spooky Reading in 2nd grade! Jake's teacher sent me this great pic of Jake doing some spooky reading with a friend in his class.  Looks like fun with flashlights!

4. Classroom Costumes! Teaching 4th grade yesterday so I had to grab a fun pic of this crazy group! They were a great class with great attitudes and super respectful. It was a fun Halloween Day!!🎃
Jake's 2nd grade class is looking scary and cute and pretty fabulous!👻
 5. 5th grade Halloween Fun!! It's tradition! We took this mighty fine group of boys home with us for some 5th grade Halloween Fun last night! Easy crew to host as they love football and pizza! Lots of fun and a great memory maker for them.👻


November you are officially here.  Fall routines are set, football season complete and basketball schedules are upon us. It is now time to make sure we are fully stocked with boots that fit, warm coats for recess, snow pants without holes or that don’t look like capris, hats, gloves, and ice skates that fit so they can start back at Sunday night skate night! Kyle and I can't keep up with how fast these seasons continue to go..... but we love it all.
 ⏰ Turning back clocks tomorrow night! Happy Nov.1st!!❤️

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

Image
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

Wolf River White Water Rafting Youth Trip!

Image
We were able to start the tradition of taking the International Falls youth to the great Wolf River. We took a great group of kids who did not know what to expect and drove the 10 hours to the river. We spend 2 days rafting and then hit the road for home. The students and leaders had a great time navigating the rapids themselves, flipping a boat or two and of course the water falls were a huge hit. U had the opportunity to sit down at the camp fire and one day in our boat with some of the students who do not regularly come to our ministry and talk about the relationship with Christ. These discussions where by far the highlight of my trip, getting to encourage students in their faith and hear the testimony about how they came to know the Lord was just awesome. Our first night it rained more than i have ever seen, and most of our tents stayed dry. But our two days on the river could not have been any better bright sun and 85 or so which is really hot for us from the far north. We had on
