What Kids Do

What do kids do? Here's what mine have been up to...



Playing Super Heroes!

Bam! Kapow! Wammo!

Trying new foods!

Nope, flour doesn't taste good!


Losing Teeth!

Oh, and let's not forget what dads do...


Nothing like taking a cat nap in the sun!

Christmas At Our House!








We had a great Christmas! The kids were so excited to finally get to open the gifts they had been wishing they could reach on top of the plant shelves! We came up with the idea to put them up there when Kaleb was one. You might think we put them up there now because Aleaha (being one) will get into them, but it's still Kaleb that we worry about!













Grandma Rasmussen had given us the unfortunate news the Saturday before Christmas that Rudolph had such a bad cold that his nose had turned green! She said she had heard it on the radio and was very concerned if Santa would be able to find everyone without Rudolph. Nya asked me at least once a day if he was better yet and if I thought his nose could really turn green. Finally on Christmas Eve we crossed our fingers and looked to the Santa tracker on the internet. The kids (especially Nya) were very pleased to learn that Rudolph was over his cold and Santa was on his way! However, the kids were a little confused by the gifts Santa brought them. Each of them unwrapped a Wii remote. We don't have a Wii so we thought that maybe he wanted them to be able to have their own remote when we went to our friends the Horton's to play. Finally, the last gift we opened was our very own console! Thank you Santa! We love our new Wii!
