Dillon&Keystone Colorado July 28th

Exploring new areas is becoming a real highlight for me on this trip. My runs in the mornings have been absolutely incredible. 
Keystone, CO views

One of our favorite breakfasts on this trip has been bacon and eggs and fruit! Look at these cuties🥰
The weather was unpredictable for us today but we decided to hook up with Rick and his son Anders for a hike, hoping to get in as much of the trail as possible!
I love listening to the conversations on the trail. Jake really enjoys hiking with Rick and eventually Jake had him carrying his backpack for him!😆 The guys like having him with us, glad he’s willing to hike Pikes Peak with us on Saturday before he heads home! It’s fun doing life together.
Anders and Drew taking a break, soon after this the rain started in...
So we made the decision to head back before the trails got too wet.
Great view and a fun morning hiking together! 
Yeah, it got wet!! But thankfully we weren’t above tree line, and there was no thunder.
Drew’s new raincoat he bought in Manitou Springs worked great out there. Wishin’ we all had raincoats for this trip, something I’d pack and purchase for next time.
Headed back to the RV for food and rest time. It felt so good to take a nap and rest. Another rainstorm blew through and then the evening was really nice. We had a beautiful setup in Dillon CO.
Glad Bestie joined us for some silly conversations and a few rounds of Phase10 before we all got too chilly. The boys were getting antsy too so a few rounds is all we got in. Fun chatting and hanging out together. 
Thankful for beautiful evenings after a rainy day.❤️

Grandmas Marathon- getting faster!!

3:00:38 Grandmas Marathon PR!! I’m still smiling…things are coming along nicely in my marathon expertise! Haha, Im just being silly but I really am learning more as I go-what works best for me, what doesn’t.  June 17th was a blast!! Cramps hit strong in my left calf around mile 18 and then my pace got more limited as I went, I was so scared I would pull something that I tried to find the balance of push and hold up! Super proud of this race and the battle I fought. The marathon is a beast and continues to challenge me! Games ON still for the CIM Marathon on December 3rd. 😁First up though, trails and less miles for me for awhile. My friend Leah is a true gem, someone I really enjoy sharing running miles and life with. Kyle, Micah and I enjoyed time with Leah’s family in Duluth. Her sister Sara and brother-in-law Mike made us feel so welcome and special!  I’ve been getting faster and continue to PR each year since my late 30s, in fact the last time I raced Grandmas Marathon I ran a 3:16

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

Friday came quick!😅

 These full days have gone by super fast this week. Teaching full days to students who need my full attention, getting over a cold this week, spending time with all the boys each night, and keeping up with Kyle’s busy church schedule has had us all feeling like it has been a quick week! Micah and Caleb had a tennis meeting this week to get ready for their spring season, Kyle and I are really excited to cheer them on soon! Maybe sooner with how warm our weather has been this winter. It’s been fun to hear that Micah has been at the courts a lot already with his buddies, praying he has a solid season ahead for his Junior year.  Micah will be 17yrs old next Tuesday! It’s so crazy to think I have an 18yr old, almost 17yr old, 15yr old, and 12yr old….I wish I could keep them little.❤️ Each season of life looks so different. I never imagined this season looking the way it does. Working full time was never a dream of mine with such a busy family. However, God is so BIG. He is so much better in
