Productive Weekend

This weekend we set out to de-clutter the garage. I was amazed at the amount of "stuff" we had accumulated in there. It turned out to be an all day ordeal, but we were able to get rid of about a truck load of things, and check all the Christmas lights to see if they all still worked and the good news is....they do! We'll be hitting that project after Halloween is over. After the garage, we worked on some of the cupboards and got them all organized as well. I must say, the kitchen looks much better and is easier to find things in. We were also able to get to town and pick out some pumpkins to carve, pics will be coming up later this week. Here's wishing everyone has a wonderful week!

Long Time...No Write

Hi All, I know it has been a very long time since I wrote anything, I've been having struggles with keeping my blog going or not. I have often wondered if anyone really cared or not if they were able to read about the life and times of the Rasmussen Ranch???? It took me a while to realize that I care. I care for a number of reasons, the first being my family, I enjoy writing about my children more than anything, even if it's only a few sentences about something they accomplished or said during the day that made me smile. for these are the little things we tend to overlook as life gets hectic and busy. With that, I am making a new commitment to write more and enjoy life more. We only have this one life, why not make the best of it! Tracey

Schydi's New Do!

Schydi's been just dying to try something different with her hair, so I decided to let her try some temporary dye that washes out after a few washes. She picked the color and it turned out even better than she expected. She loves it.

Tonsilectomy

After a couple bad bouts of strep throat, I made the decision, along with Taylor and the Dr.'s to go see a ENT Dr. After discussing his past history and severity of Strep Throats that he gets, we decided to have his tonsils removed. He was a little nervous, but not so nervous that he couldn't joke around with the nurses and make a bet with the anesthesiologist. He bet a candy bar that he could count past 10 before falling asleep, Taylor didn't remember how high he got to, but thanks to an awesome nurse we had, she made sure to tell him that he won, he counted all the way to 11 before crashing. We never did see the anesthesiologist again that day for him to collect his winnings. The surgery went well, he has been home recovering since Wednesday, had a good first day, and a couple rocky days since, he is able to get liquids down and a little food, hopefully he is over the roughest days, and only good days to come.

New Year......

Happy New Year.....a little late.
Things here are going well, here's a little update on all the kids. DaNell is doing well, enjoying her first year of high school, excelling in Debate, she has 4-5 more tournaments between now and March before the debate season is over, she is also working on her driving skills as she inches closer to getting her actual license. Taylor is also doing well in school, hates keyboarding, but is finally finished with that class. He played football in the fall and is looking forward to the beginning of the baseball season. Schydi is liking 4th grade, she is Little Miss Social and thinks she needs to visit a different friend every night of the week. She joined the school choir this year and was able to participate in Christmas caroling at various nursing homes throughout the community. She has another music program in Feb. she loves to sing and has memorized all the words to 50 Nifty, United States. Leyton is also doing well, enjoying 1st grade, learning how to play X-Box, and working on his math and reading. They are all growing up so fast....Good Job Kids, I am very proud of all of you! Love Ya!

Flaming Gorge

While we were in Vernal competing at the District Level, we decided to take a drive up to Flaming Gorge hoping to take the kids on a tour inside the dam, only to find out we were too late for the tour :( We still had a lot of fun and the kids seemed to enjoy the Gorge.

State Baseball

Taylor's All-Star team traveled to Ogden to compete in the State Championship, we played 5 games and ended up in 3rd place with an invitation to compete the first week of August in the Regional Championship. Our first game will be against Arizona on the 1st of August. GO CARBON!

Look-Out Co-Ed

This year I had a thought to put together a co-ed softball team to play in a tournament, turns out there is a fall league. I started asking around and found enough players to play, I think I may have some sponsors, and our first practice will be Sunday-Go Us!

All-Star District Champs

Taylor's All-Star team traveled to Vernal/Roosevelt last weekend to compete in the 13 year old District Championship, where they took 2/3 games to win the Championship. Taylor only got up to bat once, 1 pitch, 1 hit for him, so far he's batting 1000 ;)
This weekend we get to travel to Ogden to play in the State Tournament-Go CARBON!

2011 League Champions

Ricks Mine Service came in at #1 this year by winning their last game-Good Job Boys!
