Happy Birthday Mom/Grammy!


Here's the whole Dan/Karen Rasmussen family! Can you see the family resemblance?


Dad and Mom, known to the rest of the world as Dan and Karen Rasmussen.

Kirsten (Kyla's older sister), Peter, Isaac (11), Maren (10) and Anna (9). Laura was not really missing. Her adoption was legally dissolved January 13th. Her needs were just too much for this family.

Kevin Rasmussen, Kyla's younger brother.

Luella by herself. Kyla forgot to get individual photos of the girls in November.

Katja by herself, really sitting on Kyla's legs, which is why she's so close-up.

Karen turned 58 years young on December 27th! We celebrated by getting family photos since we were all there. We had lunch at Applebee's. Kirsten took Kevin to the airport to go back to Hawaii. Then we went home and watched Hallmark movies.
Kyla's only photo of the day was Katja in a Christmas present from Jen Jones in England. Kyla and Jen worked together at the Broadmoor.

KIDS!

Luella picked out her own outfit. She was cold, so long sleeves and pants. Then she was hot, so flip-flops. She loves her hat, so that worked in her mind too. Katja just looking cute, so had to take her picture too! Bath time for the girls and Luella decided that making Katja's hair stick straight up means she's a boy. We really don't know where she gets this from! Sorry if you're offended by the baby nudity/ inadvertent mooning.

Tim plays Army in WV.

Image
This is the Center for National Response. It's right off I-70 in West Virginia. It was part of the interstate, but the tunnel thru the mountain was too difficult for the state to maintain , so they let people train in there. They can make it rain, blow wind up to 40 mph, fires, explosions, all kinds of awesome training. Here's Tim's company at the entrance to the tunnel. Tim was playing Army while we were hosting Ginger before her big move. Tim and April Miller - team leaders discussing their missions from the day. Tim and his company commander, MAJ Alex Lovase discussing football, or something. Take cover! They have paintball gun attachments to their weapons so you can see where you got hit. One of the missions was to rappel down this hill... Then wade thru this tunnel for 1/4 mile in icy cold water to get to the objective site... As you can see, it was a really long day. Tim was the commander for this mission. The Soldiers had to traverse thru a collapsed tunnel....

Early Birthday Celebrations! (8/6/11)

Image
Kyla found Goobers sleeping on Kati's diaper changing table this morning. He was so cute laying there, Kyla had to get the girls in on a the picture too. We decided to spend this Saturday afternoon celebrating Kati's birthday. We went to see Cars 2 in the movie theater. It was cute, but like most sequels, the original was better. Kati had a coupon for a free meal to Famous Dave's. It came with a Roman candle! Look at the shocked expression on her face with the BIG CANDLE! Kati tried to blow out her candle, but it just wouldn't stop! Luella on the other end of the flames wondered if she really needed her eyebrows! This kid loves her ice cream! Happy early 3rd birthday Katja Johanna!
