On December 17 my dad decided to give my mom a birthday present in heaven and reunite with the love of his life after 20 years. My dad was simply the best! He was positive, kind, hardworking, and loved by all! He had the best smile and lived his life to the fullest. ❤️ U dad!

Happiest day ever!! Waterford (where my dad lives) set up a field trip to the Tigers game for my dad. My 3 siblings and I rode together & shared laughs! My dads best friends went Maureen, @BobWells11 & @SethWellsTV . Seth even got a foul ball & gave it to my dad. Go Tigers!

My ❤️ is full and so was my week. Special Olympics Polar Plunge, Unified BB Tournament, Brooke won districts for BB, & ended with Unified team playing at GR Gold game Saturday night. I love my job, my students, my co-workers! #GoWo #unified #GRGold #blessed #specialolympics

Congratulations to Senior Brooke Pedersen who was recently named a MHSAA Scholar Athlete Finalist. She is one of just 24 Girls in Division 1 to make the list. #GoWO #29Sports1Team

Was able to find a way to get my dad on the boat tonight. Nothing like seeing him smile and enjoy riding through the channel. Feel incredibly blessed to have him still wanting to be at all the games and with his family. Love him to pieces! #JimStull #bestgrandpa #cutest

Blake tore his meniscus playing basketball 3 weeks ago. He had surgery today and has a six month recovery. The doctor said it was a bad tear and he HAS to be on crutches for six weeks. Proud of his strength and attitude but man it’s hard watching your kid suffer. #praying

25 years ago today I married my best friend. We are still living in Holland and feel blessed to be able to raise our family in this town. Happy 25th Wedding Anniversary Scott! Love you tons!#happy25thweddinganniversary

Almost an exact repeat of a year ago today. This time Drew graduated from Ross Business school at U of M with his masters in accounting. 💙💛 Then back to Holland to see Grace and Brooke off to prom. Fun weekend! #proudmama #GOBLUE #BlessedAndGrateful

5 years ago I was able to watch both my boys play at the Breslin. Yesterday I was able to watch the West Ottawa Unified BB team play at half time at the Breslin. Our middle school unified team was able to watch and cheer. Best day ever! #MHSAA #specialolympics #unified

Happy 50th Birthday to my best friend and husband Scott! You are an amazing husband and father and you spread so much joy through your music. You are a hard worker at your job!! Hope you have an awesome birthday and can relax!! Love you tons! #happy50th #birthday

Check out this story from The Holland Sentinel: West Ottawa remains perfect as layers of great team emerge @wopanthers The Panthers are undefeated this season as team continues to grow piece by piece into contender. hollandsentinel.com/story/sports/2…

Made it through the week moving the older three kids in! Brooke is an only child for now. So glad everyone is happy but I’m going to miss them. #GVSU #UofM #Rossbusinessgradschool

The school year is starting for 5/6 Pedersen family members. This is Drew’s LAST first day of school! Time really does fly and we couldn’t be more proud of all he has accomplished. #gradschool #UofM #grateful

It was so fun to watch the West Ottawa girls play at Crisler Arena today. It was great to see where Drew spends his time being a practice player. Hopefully Blake will be healed and playing again too. I would be pumped if @2_gabbyreynolds chose to go to Michigan! #GoBlue

@yoko0214 @OTTEMANWO6 Thank you Yoko! The best present is when it’s a gift back to the WO students! Lacy is amazing and has been a blessing to my students and my own children. #GOWO

2 days left!! I donated for my friend @Pedastull whose birthday was 5/3 and who cares about her students so much and @OTTEMANWO6 who cares and worries about all the students at West Ottawa, not just pr - z at north. West Ottawa is better because of these 2 wonderful people.

There are so many great teachers at West Ottawa and my kids have a lot of favorites. When thinking of who to recognize for teacher appreciation they chose Paul McNitt and Brian VanZanten. They are amazing teachers and are great at building relationships. #GoWo @FundPanther

Feeling blessed today and everyday. Was able to see Drew graduate from U of M💙💛. Made it back from Ann Arbor to see Grace off to prom👗. It was so amazing to see these events in person. #goblue #GoWO

Proud of these two—but they would not be where they are today without their awesome teammates and coaches. Thank you to coach Ped (AKA dad), @pchapman17 and Cory. Congrats to all of the girls for a great session. Go WO!!

Today was the best day ever! Harbor Lights LINKS went bowling at Northland Lanes & were treated so well! The kids were amazing and to top it off the bus driver (Tina) came in and bought all 46 kids a candy bar out of her own money. There are good people in this world! #GoWO
