Week in Review 2/16 Valentine's Week!

Valentine's Day with my sweeties- we had a nice Valentine's day as a family. I was not very good at taking pics this year but I always love putting Valentine's on the boys and Kyle's supper plates. We enjoyed opening our cards and eating heart shaped pizza together. It was a really nice and simple Valentine's Day. 
Such wonderful boys-I found myself overwhelmed this week that Kyle and I are so blessed with such great boys. Not everyday is EASY but they truly are turning into amazing guys. I am so honored God asked us to be parents to these 4!

15th Annual Free Clinic Benefit Evening- Kyle and I were invited to a nice evening out on Saturday night and we had a great time with friends! It was fun visiting and eating great food. Kyle and I hope we can get out a little more often and treat ourselves to enjoy a night with friends. 
Little Dribblers  I caught this quick pic of Jake dribbling by me! It is so fun to watch him each Saturday morning!
 Colfax Tournament Caleb's team played in Colfax and did pretty well! They were bummed to lose their last game but still smiling anyway! Somedays ya got it, Somedays ya don't!
Sunday Long run Quite a different long run from last Sunday morning! I was so excited that the sunrise was beginning at 6:30AM, meaning spring is on its way!! The sunrise was so pretty, I felt it was Gods love letter to me. 
 Family Card Nights Is becoming a highlight for us! The boys are really getting into some fun card games with Kyle and I. It has been fun to enjoy game nights as a family and all play the same game!
Lately, blogging hasn't been a favorite thing for me. I'm really hoping to get back into it here and begin posting more frequently. Just more of the little moments again!! 
That's a wrap to this 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...
