Big News!

Jane and I are going to...NEW YORK!

We are going to visit our friend Jamie who lives in Manhattan. Jamie, Jane and I were all new Education Specialist at Head Start last year. We had such a blast working together. We would pull pranks on other staff and each other while at work. Jane and I were very sad to see Jamie move away, but I guess it is okay if we can visit her in New York.

We will be in New York for 5 days, April 8th-12th. If you have any suggestions of site to visit, please leave a comment. I am looking for fun and interesting ideas.

The good and the bad

Who would have thought this cute little kitten would turn out to be...

...this big kitty.

I took Sadie to the vet because she was not feeling well. The vet discovered that she had a urinary tract infection and a serious case of obesity. Ideally she should weigh 8 pounds, but she weighs 17 pounds. Needless to say, my poor Sadie is on a diet and needs to lose at least 7 pounds in the next year. The worst part is that a bag of diet cat food cost over $53.00.

Tea for Three


Jane and I love to have tea parties over at Gardner Village, so we decided we would try having one of our own at my house. Jessica, Jane and I planned the menu, bought the food and created our own version of a tea party. It was a lot of fun and rather tasty. I cannot wait to dress up and have tea parties with my future kids. Thanks for a great time girls. Let's do this again soon.

Happy Valentine's Day Levi

Pictures of our life together...so far.

Caught in the Act

Levi claims he hates my cats, yet he is always trying to pet Sadie, catch Alley or make Rigby listen to his requests. The other day I was ironing and turned around to find this...

...proof that Levi likes my cats. Need I say more?

Finding Strength In Numbers

On January 18, 2009 Robert Rasmussen (Levi's Grandpa) died. The funeral was held on January 21, 2009.

On January 21, Levi and I drove up to Montpelier, Idaho for the funeral. It was a beautiful service, that was surrounded by loving and supportive friends and family. I wish I had the opportunity to get to know Grandpa Rass. more. He was very sweet and caring. He was always happy to see us and wanted to know everything new in our lives.

After the funeral service we went back to the church for lunch. It was lot of fun visiting with Levi's family and talking about grandpa Rass. It was nice to hear the family talk about Lesa (Levi's mom). I never met her, so it was nice to learn a little more about her.

Terri and Ryan (Levi's sister and brother-in-law)

Jason and Molly (Levi's brother and sister-in-law)

Keva and Jesse (Levi's niece and brother)

That night after the funeral, we went to Jason and Molly's house and played board games. It was so much fun. Levi and his brothers are hilarious when they get together.

The day after the funeral we spend most of the day with the goose (Levi's grandma Rasmussen). She is so full of life. I love visiting with her. She always makes me laugh.

After we visited with grandma Goose we drove down to the cemetery to see grandpa Rass. and Levi's mom's graves. We miss you Grandpa.

Kid's Say The Darndest Things

On Sunday Levi and I were teaching our sunbeam class that we have bodies just like Heavenly Father.



While talking about having a body like Heavenly Father and Jesus I asked if anyone knew who else was in the picture shown above. One little boy raised his hand very excitedly and said, "Oh oh oh, I know, I know, it's Jesus Smothe." After he said that, he realized he had said the wrong name and sat there with a puzzled look on his face as he kept trying to figure out Joseph Smith's name. It was so funny. I am still laughing about it.

Christmas 2008

Highlights from Christmas 2008

Levi and I spent Christmas with my family this year. We ate dinner and played games. We had a lot of fun and it was great seeing my family. My nieces and nephews are so much fun. I loved hearing about their Christmas gifts and all the things that are going on in their lives.

Isn't Audriana the cutest? Just look at those Precious Moment eyes.


Brooklyn has such a fun personality. I enjoy talking and laughing with her.


My sisters and me.

There are more pictures to come, I just need to get them from my sister.
