The hunt is on...

for the perfect Christmas Tree. Every year we go out to try and find the perfect Christmas tree. It is quite the ordeal since we have a tree snob in our family! Before I moved to WA, I never knew what a Noble tree was. Well that has all changed because Nobles are the only trees that are worthy for the Rubbert house!

It was SO cold the morning we went out. The temps at night are down in the teens and low 20s. So when we went out in the morning, it was barely in the 30s!

After walking around and around and back and forth and around again, we finally found THE tree. I think part of the reason why we got this one was because it was in the sun! They didn't want to have to cut it down in the shade where it was like 15 degrees colder.




It's our annual tradition for Robert and Emma to cut down the tree together. I get to watch and take pictures!

Every year we talk about getting a fake tree because both Robert and I HATE putting on the lights. However, I would miss this part...

Safety Day

Our family assisted with the fire department for it's annual Fire Prevention Week Safety Day. It was a day filled with popcorn, hot dogs and fun activities! Emma made many, many bags of popcorn for the kids... After all her hard work, she had a little fun with dad... Then she got to demonstrate some rescue equipment... It was a good day watching all the kids visit Sparky, rotate the various stations and enjoy the yummy popcorn Emma made!

Sammy

Sammy April 15, 1998 - February 20, 2014 Sammy was quite the cat. He was the king of the house for sure. Mac the 67 lb Boxer was afraid of him. He knew how to get what he wanted. He was a butter eating crazy cat. He lived a good life with lots of changes. From a cross country move to the arrival of a new man (Robert) to the birth of a child (Emma) to the adoption of a four legged brother (Mac). Yet through it all he knew he was king. I miss him lots but am happy for the time we had together.

Day 4 - Blast Off Camp

Today at camp Emma got to tour the brand new planetarium at the museum. She said it was pretty cool. Then they had lunch and made a map after lunch. And that was about it! Though I think there was more that they did, she just can't remember! But it does make me thankful that I homeschool because I know what she does all day! She did say that she wishes she could go for another week! Well that's good! I guess she doesn't miss us too much!
