Moving

We have been looking for a house for a while now. We are renting right now in Lehi. We were able to find a great deal on a foreclosure in Highland. We are very excited to move in next week.

New baby Rasmussen

Kendall and I came down to St. George to be here when my sis had her new babygirl. She is ADOREABLE!!! Mikelle was born on Tuesday the 27th of April. She is 7lbs 15oz and 20 1/2 long. She has golden blonde hair and blue eyes and she is the BEST baby ever. She doesn't fuss or cry and sleeps a lot.
I'm a very proud aunt!!

Byron's home....

My little brother Byron has been on a mission to Guatemala. He is the youngest of all the 6 kids in my family and it was a little strange to think of him old enough to be on a mission. We got the itinerary about a month in advance. We counted down the days. We talked a lot about him coming home. We were very excited. He was supposed to fly in at 4:00pm. We sent Brynlee to school for a bit until we left. The morning was very hectic. It was one of those days that everything came up and even though he didn't fly in until late afternoon, we found ourselves rushing all day to be ready. We went up a little early to drop off our contribution to the family dinner. We got to the airport about 30 minutes early.
My parents divorced when I was 12 year old. My mom is remarried. Needless to say having all parents and step parents in the same place was very stressful. This picture was quite remarkable to see. Both my parents in the same place...in the same picture. All the stress was unnecessary. Everyone got along really great.

My sister was on her way from St. George and got to the baggage claim at exactly the same time we spotted Byron coming down the hall. Here is the rest of us waiting....

and waiting.....


and waiting.....well you get the picture.
Finally the group of 4-5 missionaries came down the hall. There was Elder Uncle Baby Roofus. There isn't anyone in our family that does not have at least one nickname. Byron, being the baby has the most. (baby)Roofus, (baby)Spike, Gordon, Junior, and a few others I can't remember right now. It was way too exciting to see him coming.

My sister got there just in time to see him.

On the way to Salt Lake I thought that maybe Roofus would be sad to leave his mission. I was expecting him to be happy to be home but missing Guatemala. All we saw from him that day was excitement to be home.

My two oldest brothers and sister-in-law couldn't be there and my sister left a Courtlynn, Maddie, and Kaylee in St. George but here is the rest of us.

After the airport we went over to Brady's house for dinner.
We ate...
looked at pictures, heard stories (envied Byron's tan)
and enjoyed that the kids had other kids to keep them busy.


Over the next couple of days we had a lot of family time. We took Byron shopping for some up to date clothes and helped him look for jobs. We are all very excited to have him home. He is so mature and while he is the same roofus who spouts off useless facts he has grown up a lot. We are all so proud of him and happy to have him back.

Falling for Fall

P.S. Jeremey was helping but he was cleaning out gutters while we raked.

Our Halloween

Brynlee was a bride

Kendall was a chicken. The yellow blankie is in more pictures than the girls are :)

Soccer

Anyone that knows Jeremey knows that he is an AWESOME soccer coach. When Bryn was about 1 we had a team of U-13 girls in Utah County. They are all grown up now and some are playing college soccer. On Halloween, we had a few girls playing in the BYU-Wyoming game. We had two girls playing for BYU and one for Wyoming.

This is Shalayne who plays for Wyoming. She is a freshman there and her sister Auna is a Sophomore at BYU. It was very fun to watch the sisters play against each other.
This is Amber. She is going to be a great addition for BYU. There is one more girl that plays for BYU but we didn't get a picture with her. These girls are sweethearts and we are so proud of them for accomplishing so much.

Grandma and Grandpa Moab

Jeremey's parents came up for Halloween weekend. The girls LOVE their grandparents.



I don't think Jeremey can do anything fun without going to Cabelas first. This time they got there in time to see the fish fed.
