Estes Park July 29th, 30th

Estes Park is such a cool place to go and I hope Kyle and I come back again soon!! This place would be a great place to hang out for a week. There are so many beautiful views and trails, restaurants and shops. Plus, I think there were at least 8 ice cream shops down Mainstreet. It was the coolest place!
Ice cream time!! 🍨😁 It was hard to choose which place to go because of all the ice cream shops to choose from, but our picked spot was delicious!😋  I picked up a new pair of keen sandals too as my 10+ year old pair got totally destroyed in Zion National Park hiking. Fun night checking out such a cool place!

We got back and played games at sunset, loving this time with the guys so much! I wish I could just keep them in the RV forever so I could spend time with them always!🥰
The next morning, Thursday July 30th, we woke up at 5a and drove into Rocky Mountain National Park. We found a parking spot by 6a and Kyle and the boys went right back to sleep. I decided this was a perfect moment for me to go check out the area! I put on my running shoes and headed out for a bit. Check out my scenery!
When I got back I enjoyed doing my devotions and spending some quiet time with God before our day began. Woke the crew up around 7:30a to have breakfast before heading out on our 9mile adventure!
Love these morning smiles! Ready to take on the day ahead.😊
The hike was well marked and had a few awesome waterfalls right in the beginning. Weather was cool but sunny, great hiking conditions. We had a great time. The guys are becoming such excellent hikers!

Which way to go?! Having so much fun out on the trails!!!😃🏔I never want to go home.
One of our favorite hikes so far...Top5 hikes4Us!!

Great pic but the water coming off this waterfall was so chilly! Fun moment to make it to this point though.

Sky Pond- we made it!
We were pretty happy to have completed this hike! 9miles with happy, eager boys, so many great views, and a beautiful sunny day! Couldn’t ask for a better day.😍
Love hiking with my 5Guys in Colorado❤️
I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

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
