Is Winter Over Yet?...

Oh, my gosh! I am so sick of winter already and it's just beginning!!!! We got dumped on again last night. It snows here everyday! We have a good foot of snow here at least. It is bitterly cold! I would like to stay in bed all day with my electric blanket. The kids don't understand why they can't play outside. I think we are finally going to get a little break from the snow for a few days, but not the bitterly cold air. It is supposed to continue through the week. It took Jason an hour this morning to blade out our driveway.

I am back on Weight Watchers again and am doing very good so far. That was my New Year's resolution this new year. I want to lose everything that I have gained. I am also going to start working for Weight Watchers as a receptionist part-time. I think that will keep me motivated as well. I can't wait to get started!

Try and stay warm!

Blessings,
Janese

It's 2009!

Christmas With Our Families

Well it's almost here. I can't believe Christmas is here, and soon we will celebrating a new year. Time just gets away too quickly. We leave tomorrow for Southwest Iowa to spend the holiday with our families. It will be nice to all be together again. I took tomorrow off. Jason has to work. He said he hopes to be gone by 12:00pm-12:30pm. I hope so!!!! I wish we could have went today. We are supposed to have bad weather up here tomorrow, and travel isn't going to be good from what the weatherman says. We are usually always back all day on Christmas Eve day, but for some reason this year, we are traveling on Christmas Eve day. If we can just get out of here and through Des Moines, I think we will be okay. I just wish we were already there. It makes me a little nervous. We are taking the truck though since it has 4 wheel drive. I hope everyone has a wonderful time spending the holidays with their families.

Have a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

In Christ,
The Robberts

9 More Days...

I can't believe in 9 mores days Christmas will be here! My how the time flies! We must stop though and remember the true meaning of Christmas. If it weren't for the birth of Jesus, there wouldn't be a cause to celebrate. Jesus is the reason for the season! It snowed here again today. Imagine that! It seems like it snows everyday here. We are supposed to get hit hard again on Thursday with sleet, freezing rain, and snow.

Merry Christmas!

Batching It...

Hello all! Yes, I am batching it for the next five days. Jason and Jaron left today with a couple of other friends to southwest Iowa to go deer hunting. Jaron, of course, won't be going deer hunting, but he says he is. He is going to stay with Grandma Robberts and do all kinds of fun stuff. I know they have baking Christmas cookies in mind. Today when he left, he did take his bow and arrow with him and told me that he was going to get a real deer with it. He is so funny! It will be nice for them to get away, but it will also be nice when they get back. Janessa keeps asking where her daddy is. My parents are here with Janessa and I. They are here all through next week. Mom and I are going Christmas shopping tomorrow, and dad said he would watch Janessa. It will be nice for my mom and I to have a girls day out. Have a great weekend.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Thanksgiving

I am so very thankful that I have my family and friends. What is everyone else thankful this holiday season. Everyone have safe travels this week, if you have to travel. We do. We are leaving Wednesday afternoon. The kids are excited to see their families.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Don't eat too much turkey! HA HA!

Blessings To All,

One Day Down...

One day down. 4 more to go. The weekends always go by so fast. We had a very busy weekend. Saturday I spent most of the day in bed. I didn't feel well. I started not feeling well at work on Friday. By Friday night, I felt rotten. I went to the doctor late Saturday afternoon, and found out that I had a sinus infection. I am now on an antibiotic. I feel better, but still feel really run down. I can't seem to get enough rest. Sunday afternoon, we took the kids to see Winnie the Pooh. They actually got to meet Pooh and Tigger back stage before the show. We all got our picture taken with them. That's all Janessa has talked about that she got to see Pooh. As long as I was holding her, she wasn't scared, but if I put her down, she would freak out. They both enjoyed the show very much. Jason still is working on the shed. He took the day off today from work. He had a couple guys come over and they put the shingles on. He still has to put on a front door and the siding. It is really shaping up and definitely looks like a shed. Actually, it looks more like a small house. It's huge!

Have a great week!
