SUPER BOWL SUNDAY

Go Colts!!

We love the Super Bowl... Great Food, Great Company,

and a Great Game!!

This year we went to the Rasch Family Birthday/Super Bowl Party. It was so fun celebrating 8 birthdays and cheering for both teams in the Super Bowl. The Ty Rasch family was cheering for the COLTS. Even though they lost, we had a fantastic time hanging out with family, watching the game and showing our team spirit with yummy Sugar Cookies!!

A Few Friends... A Lot Of Laughs....

Still celebrating his birthday... Jaden decided he wanted to have a few friends over for a late night. So we ordered pizza, made some yummy snacks and had a LATE NIGHT PARTY!!

Happy 15th Birthday Jaden!!

Oh how 15 years can fly by! I was telling my mom that I remember bouncing and rocking Jaden, he was soooo colicky, and I remember wishing he was 10 years old because then he wouldn't be crying all the time! Now he's 15 and I can't believe how fast time goes. He has turned into a very handsome and charming young man.

Happy Birthday Jaden!! We love you!

Super excited about getting his learner's permit!

For his special birthday dinner he chose to have

Lemon Chicken-piccata style, Lemon Rice,

and green salad with Ranch dressing.

and of course, his FAVORITE... Cheesecake!

The Famous Ty Rasch...

With the closure of KIDDIE KANDIDS (the company where Ty worked for 15 years) we have had reporters calling our house and knocking on our door to interview Ty. Here are a few of his famous words...

2010 brings us great BLESSINGS and new CHALLENGES. We are looking forward to Ty graduating with his MBA in 14 weeks... BLESSING! Which means he will be traveling to Rome, Italy and Budapest, Hungary for 14 days on his International Trip... CHALLENGE! We will miss him for the 2 weeks he's gone, but look forward to traveling back to Rome and Budapest with him someday... BLESSING!!

Rome

Budapest

Since Ty will be gone on his trip, he knows me all too well. I have major separation issues and hate it when we have to be apart. (And truthfully, I might be just a little bit jealous of the particular locations he will be traveling to!) So he bought me and my sister, tickets to go to New York the first week he is gone (to keep me busy)... BLESSING! But I'm leaving the kids home for the week... CHALLENGE! However, Ty made arrangements for his parents to come to our house and stay with Jaden, Jessica and Jaxon... BLESSING!!

New York

Big G and Grammie... the life savers!

We are looking forward to 2010 and all of it's

BLESSINGS and CHALLENGES.

We wish you all a happy, safe

and successful new year!!!
