Chaffee Christmas

We ended our trip at my parents in Clay Center, along with all the snow. The kids got to go sledding, which Brooklyn loved! Braxton just liked to be with his grandpa, his buddy (aka "appa" or "apple" as it sounds sometimes) We enjoyed spending time with everyone. As always, time flies when we are all together, it goes way too fast.

Again, I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!

Rupp Christmas

We started out our travels by heading west to Garden City to Kory's parents. We had a great time with everyone!! If only we had more time together:( It went fast, as usual, but we had a blast. Miss you guys already!!

Christmas at home

Here are a few photos from our Christmas at home, before we left on our week long family excursion!! I am having trouble upload my pics so that I can write under each one for some reason, so you just get a clump of pics to enjoy!! (I did have to throw in one of Braxton in his boots, which he is obsessed with!) Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!!

New house...

Here are a few photos of the new house. It is slooowly coming along. We are all very excited. The 1st one is from the road looking at our land & our loooong driveway. Our house is back where the trees are. The 2nd one is the hole. The last 2 are the basement walls!! Looking more & more like a house now!!

Halloween 2009

Hopefully this works.......it's still not showing up like it used to, so we will see.

Here is my adorable skunk and "princess ariel mermaid" (she had to throw the crown in there and add the princess) Kory's mom made their candy baskets & did an awesome job. Brooklyn's is flounder & Braxton's is a flower...what else would you do for a skunk?? Thanks Nanee!!

I give up!!

ok so i have tried to download or upload, whatever, my halloween pics 4 times & every time just jumbled stuff shows up, but no pics. so i give up, any ideas??
