January fun!❄️

Lots of outdoor fun these days! Thankful for fresh air together and with friends. Still playing lots of card games at night after supper too, which Kyle and I are really enjoying with the boys. 

Ski day at Spirit Mountain! Lucky duck Micah went skiing with his friends last weekend and had such a blast! It was really fun hearing him tell us stories about his day, he always makes us laugh. 😆 Micah’s got a great core group of friends, we are so thankful!
Micah sent me a few pics while he was gone, love those evening ski nights. So pretty!
Jman and his hockey bros! Jake loves to ice skate with these guys. A few play hockey, and a few of them don’t. Either way they like to just trash it up on the ice together for hours. 3rd grade toughies! 🏒 
Ice fishing with Cedarbrook! The younger boys and I joined the ice fishing Cedarbrook event and had a great time! It was an incredible turnout and fun to see our Cedarbrook family. I really missed having my dad with me though, he’s been a pretty sick guy with COVID but thankful he is feeling much better. Glad to join in on the fun and I hope they do this again next year! Excellent event.

Sledding on MLK Day! I had so much fun sledding with the boys. They make me smile with all their shenanigans and silly stuff they try to pull on these cheapo sleds. It was a bit icy too which made for very speedy sleds!🤣 Almost some tree slammers but got lucky and came home safe. Whew!
These smiles make everyday being their mom SO GREAT!!😍


Glad the boys had the day off so we could go play and spend time together! ❄️

Andrew is 2!

Image
Wow how time flies! we are amazed that our little guy is already two. It seems like just yesterday that he was born and we were spending all of out time looking at him in his crib and playing with him on the floor. Now he is a real boy. Running around, kicking the football, cheering for touchdowns, and tackling his brother. Andrew brings us such joy as he is always laughing and smiling and thinking of new and creative ways to use all of his toys. We are all enjoying our fall, with trips to the cities and a Pastors retreat, jumping in to the leaves, and cool night walks we love this time of year. Take a look at these videos to see what we have been up to over the past few weeks.

Big Bro Twin Cities Champion/Little Sis Big Woods 1/2 Marathon Champion

Image
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...

Wolf River White Water Rafting Youth Trip!

Image
We were able to start the tradition of taking the International Falls youth to the great Wolf River. We took a great group of kids who did not know what to expect and drove the 10 hours to the river. We spend 2 days rafting and then hit the road for home. The students and leaders had a great time navigating the rapids themselves, flipping a boat or two and of course the water falls were a huge hit. U had the opportunity to sit down at the camp fire and one day in our boat with some of the students who do not regularly come to our ministry and talk about the relationship with Christ. These discussions where by far the highlight of my trip, getting to encourage students in their faith and hear the testimony about how they came to know the Lord was just awesome. Our first night it rained more than i have ever seen, and most of our tents stayed dry. But our two days on the river could not have been any better bright sun and 85 or so which is really hot for us from the far north. We had on...
