Gunderson Adventures.... where all 6 of Us live life to the fullest!

Kyle and I took the boys down to Giants Ridge to learn how to downhill ski! Caleb came with to support his big brothers and eat snacks with them when they needed a break. Andrew and Micah did great and both mastered the bunny hill with much success! Andrew is wondering when we can go again! Micah says he thinks he is ready to try snowboarding next time but Kyle and I told him he needs a few more lessons on skiis:) All in all the day was a success! Our Winter Ski boys! Way to Go Drew! He is feeling pretty confident. Andrew loved going between the pretend trees. Micah you are doing great buddy!

We had a great time making Christmas cookies with our good friends the Anderson's! Terri makes some incredible cut out cookies with amazing frosting that Kyle was hoping I would learn how to bake! So, while Kyle was out of town the boys and I got the opportunity to spend the whole morning decorating and playing with Rachel and Nick:) We were blessed! Here is our cookie display!!!! Games with Rachel! Terri has truly been a wonderful friend and mentor in my life. What a treasure she is to me. Terri is a super star mom with 5 kids and I have learned so much from her! She teaches me to relax, love Jesus with my whole heart and smile lots!!!!! What a fun morning we had together!!!

As many of you know we are moving to Menomonie WI where Kyle will be the associate pastor at Cedarbrook Church! We are excited to follow Gods call on our family. We thought it would be fun to give you a sneak peak of our wonderful home in Int'l Falls, MN. Some of you never had the chance to make it up to our home and see the many blessings God has given to our family. Enjoy a brief tour of our home and please keep us in your prayers as we are in the process of selling and trusting God in the new home we will be living in.

My family came to visit us for a fun Thanksgiving weekend together. Too bad the weather was so snowy on their drive up, but very thankful everyone made it safe! We had a great time just hanging out doing crafts, playing in the snow, watching Toy Story 3, going to the Christmas light parade and laughing at the kids together. With 5 kids under the age of 5 in our house, we had many silly moments! Little sleep but lots of fun! Craft time! Aunt Kara and Grandma brought up some fun crafts for the kids to work on while we were snow bound! Andrew enjoyed working on his Christmas Reindeer. Great job Mr. Drew! He loved being the big cousin this weekend. He had fun holding baby Logan and showing Kaylee all his toys. Kaylee, our niece, is 2 years old now and so much fun. She loves helping in the kitchen, talking about and playing with her cousins, eating grapes, getting her back tickled and being with her family. She is a joy to play and sing with. We love her great big hugs and her adorable vo...

We had a great afternoon playing in the first real snow fall of the year! Here are some fun pictures of the boys enjoying the snow! It was a trick to find all our winter gear from last year. Luckily most everything still fit! They look like trouble!!! What do boys do when they can make snowballs? Yes, welcome to the first snowball fight of the season! Micah had fun rolling in the snow!!! Caleb's first of many tastes of the snow! Yummy!!!

Spiderman, Ninja Turtle and our little Monkey were very excited to go trick-or-treating tonight. Andrew and Micah ran from house to house consuming as much candy as possible. Caleb focused in on the suckers and had a total of 4 while his big brothers ran around hunting for more suckers! Caleb thought this was great! We also went up to church for the Fall Festival where we had lots of fun with the youth kids playing all sorts of games with tons more candy and prizes. We came home with 2 goldfish! What a great night we had! After the fun was over the boys poored out all there candy and loved looking at all they collected! My little spiderman and ninja turtle went fast asleep! Micah said to daddy before going to bed, "I sure am a tired little turtle daddy!" Happy Halloween!!!!

This weekend my mom, sister-in-law Kara and I went to Women of Faith and had a wonderful weekend together! So many things really touched our hearts and it was so nice to be able to get away and spend time together. We laughed, cried, and loved every minute visiting and encouraging each other. These girls are so precious to me. A few tools we learned throughout the weekend that we will all carry with us this year are: 1. On days that seem impossible to even get out of bed remember to just start by Making Your Bed. 2. Refuse:Replace:Repeat- so important when satan attacks us! 3. The Bible is our guide book. The best parenting book made for us! We took away so many vital messages and reminders about living a life fully focused on Christ. I felt very refreshed and renewed after Women of Faith. I was truly blessed by God this weekend and by my very special girlfriends. Girlfriends found in family are truly divine. Thanks girls for your love for me and your encouragement to me as a wife, mo...
