Happy 10th Birthday Jessie Jo!

We can't believe that our baby girl is 10 years old. Enjoy the moments, because time sure flies by quickly. For her birthday she got her annual breakfast in bed, a candy claw machine, tons of clothes and a new bed! She is very spoiled because to go with her new bed, Grandma Nancy made her the most amazing quilt. It is absolutely beautiful. I think it was her favorite present of the day!

Easter With The Rasch's...

That Easter Bunny... he did a great job this year hiding our eggs! It took some effort to find all 24 of them. Jaxon seemed to have the best time. He just couldn't believe how sneaky the bunny was! He would like the Easter Bunny to be on his team for hide and seek, that bunny thought of the best hiding places!





The Easter bunny left us some great outfits and candy in our baskets. You can tell who liked the clothes and who liked the candy!






Since Ty had to be to a meeting at 7:00am, (Yes, we know...someone needed to remind the Stake Presidency that it was Easter!) Our Easter morning was early and fast. We were all done by 6:39am!



As the day continued we realized how lucky we are to have both of our families nearby so we can visit them on these special days. We first stopped at Big G and Grandma Nancy's for the BIG cousin egg hunt. It was so much fun. Check out the basket of eggs after they were emptied into the kids bags! Whew!



Next we headed to Grandpa Ric and Grandma Jo's. There we received our annual "flip flops" for spring! Then we gathered around for the famous foot picture with our new shoes. This year it was kind of funny. It was Ashton and Bentley's first time ever putting on a pair of real flip flops. You know, the ones that go between your toes! Bentley kept saying that he just had to get used to them, but Ashy kicked until they flew off! So his flip flops made the picture, but Ashy just wasn't up to saying "cheese" after his toe trauma!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy Green Day! We love this holiday at our house. Everything goes green! Here are a few pictures from our morning before school. Jaden chose his own outfit. I think this might be his favorite day of the whole year! Jessie loves her green coin necklace. Jaxon cannot believe that the Leprechaun made the water come out green...and the cookies...what's next? We are sure as they day continues we will find more unusual green stuff. Have a great day everyone and watch out for the Leprechauns!

Keeping Up With The Snow

Will these snow storms ever end? Well we are trying to make the best of it by finding fun things to do in it. So if any of you, for some reason haven't had enough of the snow, head to our house and we can have a sledding party. Here are a few shots from our last "pizza & sledding" on Friday night.

Let It Snow

This is the time of year that I always ask Ty why we are not living in San Diego! The last couple of snow storms have totally dumped some snow here in good old Park City. Check out Ty's car that almost made it into the driveway! We actually had to call our good friend Wade to come and help Ty get unstuck. (Of course this was after one full hour of Ty trying everything he knows to get out.) Wade came and 45 minutes later they car was unstuck. Yeah! Just in time to watch Wade and his plow slide into the same spot and get stuck. Ha! Ha! Ha! I'm sure you can guess how the story ends... an hour later they called our friend Craig to come and pull Wade's truck out. It was an eventful night. The next morning we opened the blinds to snow that was higher than our windows. Out of control crazy!

The Teenage Years Begin!

Happy Birthday Jaden! We cannot believe how time flies. It seems like just yesterday we were bouncing this cute baby boy to keep him from screaming, and now... he's good at making us scream! Just kidding! Jaden has turned into an awesome young man.

Family Parties Galore!

I spy Jaxon, I spy Jaden, I spy Jessica, can you spy Grandma? This is a picture of all the great-grandchildren on our Alexander side of the family. Isn't my Grandma so lucky!

Oh, the fun toys we got from the fish pond!

Check out these cute cousins! The Rasch Family is getting bigger every year. We have even added one more since Christmas!

This year our annual Jones cousins party was fabulous as usual. We played a game where we split into three teams. We had "The Who's from Whoville", "The Spice Girls", and pictured here we had "The Upper Deck"! I think this was our favorite party of the season!
