Friday 🍩s +⚾️+ 🎾+ 🏌️‍♀️ = busy days!😁

 It’s been some crazy full days lately but we’re all hanging in there, one day at a time. And truthfully, having a BLAST! It’s just a lot to return to mostly normal life again after our COVID lifestyle. Okay real and raw moment, it’s kickin’ Kyle and my butt but we are such a great team. Can’t imagine life without my main man to run these kids around with!

Friday! Yeah, so Caleb and Micah love this tradition on Friday's, what boy wouldn’t? I like to send them off on a Friday morning with an extra boost of fun and reminder to enjoy the day... cause it’s FRIDAY Dudes!!😀

Our Bubba is in heaven! He loves ALL things baseball right now, and we’re enjoying the cheering! Although not all the travel.... adjusting slowly. 😆
This game was in Hammond.

Micah’s Crushin’ it at Tennis! ... with his partner Aaron. They’re the captains on the team and they are having a great start to their season, winning all of their matches so far! Super fun to watch.

Jake has started! They started their season last week with two games in the books. Jake is a stellar pitcher and great in-fielder, oh and catcher too (they play all positions at this age😉) they played Elk Mound last week against Jake’s buddy Grayson, which was really fun. The team is off to a great start!
Here is Jake pitching to Grayson.
Last night Calebs team played in Hudson. Tailgating before the game was a highlight, we sure missed Drew though. He had his first shift post training tonight @ Culver’s. 


It was chilly! Bundled up momma😜
Our tailgating crew! Hotdogs 🌭 and chips😁
Tulips 🌷 Kyle and I planted a bunch of these around the front yard and look how pretty they are!

Flowers Kyle and I planted these flowers together yesterday. I think it looks so nice around here. I love flowers!🌺 🌸 

Mother's Day tomorrow! This photo made me smile. I am a Mother Runner. Blessed beyond words to be able to put my running shoes on each day and thank God for so many blessings, one being that I am a Mom to 4 handsome boys. Excited to celebrate the day tomorrow with all my men!❤️ After a run, of course 😉

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...
