Christmas break😁+ HNY!!🎉🥳2021 begins!!!

 We have had such a wonderful Christmas break as a family. So thankful for so much quality time with my crew. Tomorrow the kids and Kyle jump back into our normal routine, and I’m feeling a little sad to see our break come to an end, but before it does, check out what we were up to!😁🎄❤️

❄️ Loved time on the lake with kyle. We took a few walks out on the lake over break, so pretty and fun! I decided I need to lace up my Altra running shoes and go out on the lake in January for some easy miles while the lake is super frozen!

❄️ These boys are growing up so fast! The lake was so smooth and shiny without the snow yet. Great photo of our growing boys on skates.
❄️ Drew and Kyle had to head back for some basketball practices and they got pizza! We were so jealous, it looked amazing. Drew’s face cracks me up!😆
❄️ I really enjoy being outside, getting fresh air, and playing with the boys! Lots of outside time over break.
❄️ Bonfire on the lake with the boys! They had fun ice skating around the fire.
❄️ My muscle men!!😆

❄️ Not all days over break were sunshine and blue skies, this day was a cloudy one but we still had fun.
❄️ Lots of hot cocoa and games!

❄️ Hiking with grandma and grandpa was fun too.
❄️ More ice skating in the cities...
❄️ We went sledding back at home! Got some great speed on the hills, so fun to spend time with friends.
❄️ New Years Eve was spent with some of our hockey friends. They have a skating rink in their backyard! We enjoyed a taco bar around 11:30 to ring in the year year together after skating and hanging out by the bonfire. It was a fun night with friends. Thankful for the community of people God has surrounded us with here in Menomonie! We have an amazing village.
2021 is Officially Here and we are so Excited for-
❄️More Adventures
❄️New Goals
❄️Exploring more places
❄️Having an open mind to trying new things
❄️Be intentional
❄️Find Joy in all things
❄️Have a grateful heart

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...
