Snow Day

we ACTUALLY got what the weather guys predicted this time:) only about 4 inches & we will take it!
so NO SCHOOL for the kiddos & daddy decided to stay home too !

me & the girls lounged around most all morning in our super cozy pj's & robes

daddy started sanding the kitchen table for a redo (2nd & hopefully last redo)

tiger played in his "cape" all morning

 

 while me & the girl's did some crafting

sometimes its good to have a snow day!

Lots of new & exciting things happening in 2011!

We have some BIG changes coming to Rapp's in 2011. The most exciting is Jovie will be making her appearance in March:) & we finally have a date set... Monday, March 21st @ 10 a.m.!!! Can't wait to see this little girl who is constantly jumping around and making it hard to sleep.

Hopefully we will be finding a larger house this summer OR... we will be making the BEST of our little abode(we will keep all fingers and toes crossed that our house sells)!

Haylee will be starting middle school yikes!!!

Throw in some family vacations, fun dinners, a few home improvement projects, oddles of birthday celebrations and LOTS of exciting things going on @JourneyChurch and it looks like we are ready for a Full & Fun year!!!

Christmas 2010 (part 1)

We had an amazing ChRiStMaS this year... we started a bit earlier than usual, I think we had our tree up a week before Thanksgiving :-0 We did almost ALL of our shopping online & it was so GREAT! I think the poor UPS man was tired of seeing us. The kids got WAY to much this year (of course) and Jeremy and I decided that since we had to upsize to a larger vehichle anyway (thanks to little Jovie) we might as well go ahead and do it now and think of it as our gift to each other. So we traded off the Envoy, aka "the bentley" for a much larger Suburban, aka "alotta" and we are LOVING her!!!
Just some of the craziness...
