Merry Christmas from the Rubsam Family!
2017
Always practicing her basketball skills, choreography for Show Choir, reading, listening to music, organizing or perfecting her baking skills.
Successfully transformed from a Des Moines Christian Lion to Waukee Warrior. She has made some friends and is blessed with great teachers. Current favorite class as a 7th grader is Spanish. Future career plans: Interior Designer.
Having fun in Youth Group and enjoys playing on her basketball team. She is fast and ready to learn new skills. Currently dreaming of Summer Camp.
A faithful cowgirl to her horse, Prayer, a red roan. Prayer and Asha have gotten to know each other a lot better this year. It is amazing to watch my 13 year old take charge of her horse and tell her to walk, trot, and canter.
Often found reading, loving on Queenie (our dog) and is currently dreaming of Summer Camp.
Learning about driving on the open road. Mom and Dad are enjoying the rides to dance class, the cousins house and to the mall. Now to save for a car that “isn’t ugly”…
Into Dance: ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, contemporary and musical theater are the main ones. Show Choir is also in the mix this year. Bring on the curling iron and industrial hair spray.
Very excited about sleeping in late on Saturdays.(that’s all she could come up with folks!) Future career plans: TBA
Is more socially active than the rest of the family – ice skating, kickball games, football games, movies + ice cream, and youth group.
Arrow is her trusty steed. Olivia has enjoyed learning to do more advanced skills with Arrow this year. They competed in their first show together this summer and hope to do more in the future.
Reality – He continues to be half of the dynamic duo that is Dreams 2 Reality. His business partner has confided in me that she could not do what she does without him. Someday he is going to write a book about some of his adventures on the jobsite and in client meetings J
Opportunities to host friends for a meal at our house allow Rob to use his favorite appliance – a pellet grill (tasty!) He wins the award of most creative cook this year.
Big fan of Girl Time. It doesn’t matter if it’s stacking firewood, having a dance party, serving together or watching a movie – he is all in! {As long as he doesn’t fall asleep first}
Lots of opportunities to show off her math skills this year to help the girls with algebra and geometry homework. (and crushing it) Still working as a chauffeur, fashion advisor and life skills instructor for her clients Olivia and Asha.
Is doing something new all of this year…exercising! She wanted to keep up with her hard working husband. You can always ask her about pullups, box jumps and burpees.
Serves as the other half of Dreams 2 Reality and enjoys helping her clients to see the full potential of their homes. She is grateful to be doing the work she loves. Is looking forward to another year with her amazing business partner who is making it all happen on the job site. (Our website will show you what we are up to… www.dreams2reality.us)
A s of now no TV show, but don’t worry there is plenty to keep her on her toes: working on master plans, material selections, 3-d models, driving her offspring to all their activities, hauling tools around town , running errands and photographing projects for the blog fill her days.
We wish you and your family a Christmas season filled with Jesus. The different names He is called in the Bible help to remind us of the real reason we celebrate each year: Prince of Peace, Mighty God, Counselor, Emmanuel, Light of the World, Messiah, Gift, Redeemer, Immanuel and King of Kings. We are feeling blessed to have you as friends and family and hope to connect with many of you in the coming year.
Merry Christmas!
