Boston: time in Hopkington!πŸ’™πŸ’›pre-marathon

Image
We are off! Mandy came to pick me up around 8:30a and the weather was good. Grabbing an Americano and cinnamon sugar bagel before heading out of town! ✔️  We parked at the ParkNGo and all checkins went super smooth. So thankful for an uneventful travel day! FYI though, food at the airport is super expensive! A chicken sandwich and side Caesar salad was $38, so crazy. Took most of our day to get to Boston….but so worth it once we saw our room. Look at our sign Ginnie made us! Here is our room, we were so spoiled! The next morning we ate oatmeal and berries before getting a tour of Hopkington. We were only .6 miles from the start line! Check out our morning pics. The weather was gorgeous too. The Expo was packed and Mandy and I took our time looking around and taking pics. I enjoyed looking at all the stuff they sell. Mandy bought 9 stuffed animal unicorns, haha! Glad we met up with Rick and Tamara at the expo too!  Took a pic of the finish area, 126th Boston Marathon!πŸ’™πŸ’› This ...

Fun weekend! April is packed with lots of funπŸ˜€

  Drew as coach for the morning! Jake was so excited to have Drew coaching his 3on3 tourney today! They both had a great time. What a great day for these boys! Way2GO!! Caleb had a fun day too playing in the 3on3 tourney! Great day of basketball! Kyle’s CrossFit Competition in Portage, Wi was a lot of fun! It was especially fun to cheer for him and see him in action. Very fun to watch! Hope he’s not gonna be too sore now! Love this photo of Kyle, I am so proud of him. Doing hard things as we get older is not easy…. Thankful when God gives us opportunities still to shine!

Friday favorites!πŸ˜€

Proud of these big guys!  They did a great job driving down to the airport in Kyle’s truck at 3:30a when it was snowy/rainy, got all parked and checked in at the airport all by themselves. Pretty neat when your kids start doing independent stuff alone and together.  Bowling! Sure was fun with Caleb and Jake. We had fun bowling and spending time just the 3 of us for a week! Felt kinda different without our other half of the fam but it sure gave us some really nice quality time together.  Florida Golfers! Love these photos of the guys having a great week together golfing. Great memories for them! Fun to hear about all their silliness since coming home. Final lunch  out before the rest of our crew came home. Grandma and grandpa came to join us for a few days too, it’s been so nice to have this time, but very ready to see the Florida guys. Our week went fast, so thankful everyone came home safe. Glad we are all back together! Fun packed weekend ahead with more basketball...

Friday Favorites! πŸ˜€

Kyle and I have enjoyed being outside watching our boys shooting hoops and hanging out with us on the patio. We’ve also enjoyed time with Drew’s girlfriend, Daisy too. Fun season as a family! These two playing cribbage before dinner. Drew and Micah had their HS basketball banquet this week, fun to serve the team dinner and celebrate a great season! Micah sent me this photo of him and Drew at youth group. Heehee, always being silly around here! Thankful for bright sunshine today that made for a wonderful Friday and time outside. It’s been a great week, ready for some good sleep and a nice home weekend with my boys.  

Kyle’s 41!πŸ₯³

  Kyle is 41! We started our day off grabbing coffees and bagels together this morning! So nice to chat and connect before the day began. We headed home to load up bikes with the boys and then went out to Eau Claire to bike together. Super fun time and all the bikes worked great. No flat tires! This afternoon we rested, played basketball outside, played cards, and watched basketball on tv. We had papa Murphy’s for dinner, then sat outside for a bonfire. So nice outside! Cupcakes for dessert and loud singing wrapped up a nice day for Kyle! We love you lots and are so thankful for all you do for us! It was so much fun to celebrate you today!!❤️
