Boundary Water

Uncle Brian, Dave, Mitch, Peter, Brian and Tommy

 The boys did a trip to the boundary waters. The weather was a little chilly and rained a bit but it sounds like they has a good trip.  It was fun to get pictures sent to me. :)

Veggie Graden

Pepper plants

Brian built me a garden for mother's day this year.  We planted onions, tomatoes and lots of peppers.  We did sweet and hot peppers.  The garden did really well and we got a ton of veggies! I like watching things grow :)

Impromptu trip to Co

Ahhh Mountain air! 

Brian and I decided to do an impromptu trip to Colorado over labor day weekend. We haven't been out there for 6 years!  It was time to make a trip.  We spent the weekend in Denver- just the two of us.  We drove to the Garden of the Gods and visited family.  Thanks Joe for bring us out for lunch and thanks to Kellie and her beautiful family for having us over for dinner.  I got to hold the twins (5 months old) and play with Kellie and Eric's fun little 2 year old, Seb.  It was such a fun trip.  Always love the mountain air and seeing family.  The weather was prefect.  I really like Colorado!!!  Can't wait for our next trip.  Next time we are not waiting 6 years.  Thanks to Ann for watching the boys o we could make the trip! 

The school year starts

Axel 6th grade
officially in the middle school  

Abel 3rd Grade
Teacher: Mrs Nye 

Ansel Kindergaten
Teacher: Mrs O'Brien 

All three boys in school this year 

My attempt to stop them :)

It's a big year in the Rapp house.  All three boys are now in school.  Axel's in the middle school, Abel is in 3rd grade and Ansel is in Kindergarten.  I think for the most part the boys are ready to be back to school.  If not for the homework just to see friends.  I didn't cry but was a little sad to see all the boys load on to the bus.  Hope this school year goes smoothly for each one of them.  Back to the books!
