Brothers

It was chilly this morning in Houston so Carter and Holden shared a blanket. What cute brothers they are!

One more picture

We had this picture of the kids from Todd's phone. Everyone is dressed up for the wedding including Finley and Cason who was the ring bearer.

Alissa and Levi's Wedding

Here is a glimpse from our fun weekend in Nebraska. We had the chance to see lots of friends and family and our kids had the greatest time at the wedidng reception. We are so happy for Alissa and Levi! I do wish we would have taken more pictures of our kids, but I am thankful for the ones we did get. Todd gets all the credit for these pictures.

Rehearsal dinner. Kudos to Aunt Alexis who voluntarily sat at the kids' table with Hunter, Connor, Carter, Colton, Finley and Cason.  She really is the best!

Sweet Collins was waiting on her dinner.

Sisters + Babies. And yes, Maya wins the award for Most Photogenic Baby!

Rapps and the Bride and Groom. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Orman!

Just a little fun with one of the napkins after the rehearsal dinner was over.

All the girls - Grandma Bettye, KK, Bronwyn, Brea, Alissa and Alexis.

Now add the brothers - Aaron and AJ.

The wedding reception was such a fun night! And Collins spent much of the evening running and dancing. She was adorable.

Having fun with her KK!

Alexis getting down on the dance floor.

Here are the two flower girls - Collins and Finley.

Dancing with AJ and KK.

Carter got in on the fun. Look at his feet. Yuck! He ran around with his shoes and socks off and so his feet were so dirty.

Sisters - Brea, Bronwyn and Alexis. We just need Alissa.

Time out for a snack from the buffet table.

These next two pictures are some of the only shots we got of our boys. I wish we would have taken a picture of them before the shirts came untucked and the shoes came off.

He was having a great time!

I love this girl! Finley, you were a perfect flower girl.

So Happy Together

On our way to Nebraska, we stopped in Branson. Todd ran over to our house to meet with the couple who are renting our home while the rest of us had a quick reunion with the Engram boys. The Rapp boys were so happy to see their best friends! The visit was way too fast, but it delightful.

Future buddies: Holden and Lincoln. Holden's arms were flailing all over the place as Amy tried to take pictures.

Time for a slice of pizza. Poor Collins - ten boys and only one girl.

The oldest and the youngest Rapp and Engram boys.

Baby Friends

We just returned home from my sister's wedding. We made the long trip from Houston to Lincoln, NE to see Levi and Alissa get married. It was fun to be with family and I will do a post soon with pictures from the trip, but one of the best parts of our trip to Nebraska was getting to see my sister Brea and her kids! Since Holden and her little girl Maya are just 10 days apart in age, it is special whenever we can get these babies together. Here is a collage from their photo shoot. Thanks Brea for the pictures. It is so cute how each picture seems to tell a story of its own!

Pumpkin Picture

Well, this picture is real life. No matching outfits. Not everyone is smiling or looking at the camera. This isn't even a pumpkin patch or farm, just the front lawn of a church in Houston that is selling pumpkins. But here is a group shot of the Rapp kids. I just keep laughing when I look at Holden's expression.

Out for Dinner

This isn't a great picture, but it is a fun memory. We had dinner last night with some new friends from Grace Bible Church and snapped this picture as we were leaving the restaurant.

On a side note, I have a funny story about Collins and her brothers. Have you seen the viral video "What does the fox say?" Well, the boys watched it and thought it was so funny! We had already been teaching Collins some animal names/ noises, but the boys decided to teach her one more. Now when they ask her:

What does a cow say? Collins answers, "Moo!"

What does a dog say? Collins answers, "Woof, woof!"

What does a bird say? Collins answers, "Caw, caw!"

What does a fox say? Collins tries to say, "Ring ding ding ding dingeringeding."
