Week in Review 1/26

Monday 1/20 No School Day! The sunshine was gorgeous on Monday morning. It felt so good to sleep in until 8am and then head out for an hour run while the boys were still waking up. 

Skating at Pinehurst I took the boys ice skating and sledding at a new park on their day off. We got some great vitamin D too with how vibrant the sunshine was all day! Minimal fighting on the ice made for an even better experience for us. These boys are just the sweetest and I have to add getting SO big every single day!
My BIG guys.❤️
4 boys on the ice soaking up sun+fun!
Subway is our top favorite these days! Grabbed lunch on our way home!
Supper with Friends One of our favorite places to go in Menomonie is to our friends Darren and Sarah's house. We have so much fun hanging out with them, their adult kids when they come home, swimming in the lake with all of them in the summer time, or just playing games together in the winter months. We were so excited to spend time with them this week and tried a new dessert called the "Palooza," it was so yummy! We also played Uno blast and laughed at watching our dogs Duke and Lucy play together for the first time. Fun night with friends.
1 Samuel+ Sorry One of my favorite nights of the week is eating great snacks with Caleb, studying God's word and playing fun games on Wednesdays. He's smiling in the pic but I beat him 3 times at this game! He's a good sport. I will miss my Wednesday night buddy once he begins going to youth group in June.
Drew's Home Tournament It was so much fun cheering for Drew and the 8th grade basketball team this weekend. They are really a great team and have really grown in both height and in how well they play together. Drew is becoming such a solid player. 




 Grandparents Make every event in life so much sweeter, we were so glad to have these 3 for the whole day. We love you so much grandma and grandpa and nana, missed having Kyle's dad here.  I love Drew's big smile too.

The end of January is coming and we are thankful for warmer temperatures! That's a wrap for the week!

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...
