Introducing....

Our beautiful Day Lily's keep disappearing! Seriously sad since they are the ONE thing that grow really well at our elevation. I thought for sure it was the deer... but... the culprit finally showed his face the other night...
HELLO MR. MOOSE!!!



One of the Lily plants after Mr. Moose found them...


It's hard to tell in these pictures how LARGE this Mr. Moose really is. It was either a junior or a small adult... thank goodness there was no Mommy around!!


Leaving the Rasch's... on his way to the neighbors trees...

A Summer Day at the Rasch's....

Usually you can find us at Crestwood... where you will find Jaden being chased by the girls in the pool!



Sometimes... okay one time... Ty joined us!

You will find me sneaking Mclaren chocolate... she LOVES it!!

Jessie will be with her cute friend Eden...

If you're LUCKY... you will see Kimmi jump off the high dive...

Jaxon will show you how he can hold his breath and dive under water looking for treasures...

After a great day of swimming, you will find us on our deck with treats and blankets to watch a movie!


We LOVE summer days!!!

Chillin' With The Cousins

We LOVE when Kimmi gets to go to girls camp... that means we get the Bentley Boy and Miss Mclaren for a day or two!! They got to sleep over Sunday and play all day long on Monday. Here are a few shots from our day...

I took all 5 kids to Wal-mart to purchase a new slip'n'slide and some water toys. When we got home, they changed into their swimming suits so quickly and got going with the set up.  Jaxon and Bentley kept asking Jaden and Jessie if it was ready!

Jaden and Jessie were so great!  They were literally out of breath when the slide was ready!

Testing it out!

It works!! Jaxon taking his first slide.


Bentley taking his...

After a while, Jaden started entertaining them with water and the trampoline.  You should have heard them laughing every time Jaden jumped with the water bucket!

Then out came the water guns...

After 3 hours of water play, it was time for a movie rest!

Miss Mac loves to open things and empty them!  Here she is opening the cookies she found in her diaper bag!!

This is my favorite... this is what happens when Aunt Lisa sets her down and walks away!! Isn't she cute!!

And this is what happens when Aunt Lisa walks back and picks her up!! 
We had so much fun and can't wait to tend them again!!

4th of July

The 4th of July is my favorite holiday!!  Maybe it's because it starts off my birthday month!! We had our 6th annual BBQ and Fireworks party.  We ate lots of yummy chicken and corn and still had enough left over to feed everyone the next day! Then it was a Rock Band and hang out time before went to see the fireworks.  Happy 4th of July!!!


Ty brought all the "pre-show" fireworks for the kids.

The fountains were completely entertaining!


Of course there are rules with sparklers!!! 

Jaden and Staci like the fireworks!!!

Jessica with Sierra and Ellie. They had a great time hanging out!


Jaden with his buddy Isaac.  I think they are trying to find some cute girls to talk to!!

Bryan and Lori came and played with us! (and Carsen and Cooper!!)

So did Brad, Tricia, Jocelyn and Staci... we love you guys!!

The fireworks were spectacular!  Lucky for us the full moon disappeared behind some clouds for the show!!
