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

Our last summer vacation was at Lake Beauty Bible Camp!!! Another great week with Cedarbrook Staff and Families together. I love this picture of Jake and his buddy Morgan hanging out at the rock climbing together!! A sunny afternoon at the beach...life is good! Fun in the sun!! Enjoying friends and catching up... My little beach bums!! Kyle and I love going to family camp with our church family. Just getting out of our everyday routine and relaxing with people who mean so much to us and our boys!! So blessed by our Cedarbrook family!!!

I love days when I have the chance to spend the whole day with the boys! This particular summer day was special as we headed out to Irvine Park to see the animals, especially the bears, and play at the park. Here are a few fun pictures of our day together!! We love seeing the bears at the park!!! I love this picture as Drew is roaring at me like a bear!!:) Love taking the mini hikes they have and looking at new scenery! Another summer favorite is going to Olson's Ice Cream for a special snack after the park. The boys LOVE their homemade ice cream and mommy does too!! Caleb's Dinosaur Crunch was fantastic!!! Nothing better then spending a whole day with these studs!!! Love you guys!!! Thanks for a special summer day we will always remember together:)

Spicer 2013 A tradition we look forward to each summer with the Gunderson family is the first week of August when we all meet in Spicer for lots of water action!!! This year each of the cousins enjoyed doing a variety of things in the water from tubing to wake boarding to skiing!!! They were all excited to not only practice their many tricks for us but enjoyed cheering for the cousin in the water trying out something new or showing us practiced and skilled moves!!! So Fun!!! Of course tubing was an easy past time... or just hanging out talking about summer and silly boy things. Always lots of food consumed to keep up the energy and fun level!! Lots of visiting about the day. A new favorite for our family was going to the ski show in Spicer. I think the boys learned a few things to try on the lake!!! The hot tub remains famous for us all!! Lots of relaxing... Or Zip lining... Nanas BIG idea this summer was a BIG hit!!! A few of our favorite shot...

Some of my favorite summer days have been playing with my boys at home. As I am growing in my relationship with the Lord I am learning how important it is to live fully in the moment...a few memories of life at home this summer!! We had to buy one more mini pool for our little Jake and of course Caleb didn't want to miss out on the fun!!! Caleb even brought out the sprinkler to add a little more splash to the swimming!! I love Caleb's endless joy he brings to our family everyday. Life is always worth smiling about to him! Micah loved playing t-ball this summer! His favorite was batting and hearing his mom cheer loudly. Kyle and I loved the many little waves from the field or while he was waiting in line to bat. So fun to cheer and encourage Micah on the field... Micah up to bat....swing hard buddy!!! Andrew and his buddy Charlie both in pitchball together. It will be fun to watch these two boys grow up together as they both have that DRIVE to be awesome!!!...

 Caleb decided it was time to ride his bike!!! Way to go our BIG 4 year old!!!! His brothers were great cheerleaders!!!  We had a great time having Lynn here to visit us!! I went shopping one of the days she was here and when I came home they all greeted me with these amazing signs!!! Thanks guys!!!  Their special art for mommy!!!  Had to get a picture of the boys and Lynn together!! We had a great time going to the Childrens Museum in Eau Claire, going to the skateboard park together, going on walks, and doing some of the fun activities Lynn brought for the boys to work on while Jake napped. Thank you Lynn!!!  Skateboard park action!!! The boys had to show Lynn and I all their tricks!!!  And of course their coolness!!!  Great job boys!!! Growing up so fast!!!

 A special night for our Micah!! I love his shirt he wore for baptism. It says..."Heaven is for real and your gonna like it!" Micah is 6 years old and on fire for living a life for Jesus!! Love it!!!  Daddy and Micah had a chance to share how Micah decided it was time to ask Jesus into his life forever... Monday morning bible study has been a great chance for the boys and daddy to have good discussions as well as dig into Gods word together. Micah decided one morning at Burger King while drinking hot cocoa that it was time to make a more personal commitment to Christ. We were all so excited!!! He asked if he could be baptized this summer...so precious.  A wonderful moment for Micah. Our prayer is that Micah will live out this life for Christ and always turn to Him for direction and guidance in his journey going forward.  It was a blessing for Kyle to baptize his own son. We love you Micah Robert Gunderson!!! Heaven is FOR REAL buddy!!!
