Where's the White Stuff

Got some good deals at Old Navy over the weekend. Now we're just wishing it to snow!
Have I mentioned lately that I want time to stand still in the moments we are currently in, in life! My boys can be hand fulls most days but I love the littleness about them and don't ever want it to change. I know time has to go on so I am trying to cherish all the great moments we have together now. I love you boys! My boys!

Grady is obsessed with making 'this face' for pictures

Tried to catch Bryce in his new coat and boots but he was running away from me! This is the best shot I could do ;-) He's a little speed demon these days!

Love the Heat

Love this time of year for the warmth of our wood stove! I'm just thankful that Brad likes to cut wood and I don't have to! ;-) The lights went out in the entire town of Ravenna last night. Some of my friends said today that it was 60 degrees or less in their house for the 5 hours they were without power on a 20 degree evening. I didn't have the heart to tell them it was 82 degrees in my house and we slept with the windows open to cool things off!!

HOT

While cooking the other night Bryce was trying to reach where I was stirring and the such. I told him NO! HOT! Bryce NO! I picked him up so he could feel the heat and I repeated myself. I looked at him, he looked at me and said "Hhhh...Tttt" I kissed him and said YES Baby HOT!

We had the wood stove going last night and as he got close to it I yelled NO! Bryce HOT! He looked at me and said "HOT" in a breathly type of way. I again kissed him and made a big deal out of it.

In a matter of days my baby learned the word 'hot' but has yet to say 'daddy' or 'mommy' like he used to...

Happy yet sad for his little self!

Crab Legs

A few weeks ago we had Husker Football and Crab Legs at our house!! The crab needed to thaw before we cooked them so we had them in the box on the porch. The boys were meandering around and stumbled across them that morning. I heard their giggles not knowing for sure what they were in to. The giggles were almost over by the time I found my camera but the video is still pretty cute!

Shout Out to Daddy!

I captured this picture on my phone yesterday afternoon when my boys were feeling better and rough-housing as usual! Cute right!! Well, I believe it was the calm before the storm...

This morning as I was getting ready Grady told me his tummy hurt and I didn't believe him as yesterday I heard that and he was fine pretty much all day. It wasn't seconds later and there was puke everywhere. Before 8am we had a pooper and a puker on our hands. Well, I have a boss that minds if I make it to work or not so daddy was elected to stay home with the puking and pooping tykes today! Grady puked most of the day and Bryce as of current still has the squirts. Not cool at the Rasmussen house this week so if you were thinking about coming over...DON'T! Seems to be the 'in thing' around here to share and share alike, germs that is! Hoping tomorrow is a bit better, I have a meeting in Kearney and daddy has houses to get built before it snows.

Thanks Daddy, WE LOVE YOU So Much! You are a brave man to have stayed home today!

Sick Day-HA!

Sunday Brad was sick ALL day so I took the boys to town to let him rest. We played at a toy store, walked the mall, and hit up Target. All in all it was a good day. Nobody was sick but dad so even better UNTIL...about 2am Sunday night. I was sicker than sick. Brad and I both stayed home Monday sleeping all day long and not really saying a word to one another, we were sick and I mean sick. I went to work Tuesday and shouldn't have as I had to leave early because I was feeling ill then picked up Bryce and daycare reported he had been crying on and off all day. Needless to say I thought today would be a good day to stay home and recoup as Grady woke up warm and telling me his 'bones hurt'. Bryce had a bad runny nose all day and come 9am Grady wanted to play outside. I think my boys were playing hookie because they were all over each other all day long that is except for when Grady went outside to play. 7:30 pm and they were both sound asleep tonight I'm hoping I don't hear them until 7:30 am which would be normal but not much is normal around here these days!! Just hoping the germs are gone, gone, gone. I washed everything I could think of today!

Oh!! And I got my basement picked up, organized, and some what clean. I was super excited to get that accomplished today while Bryce was taking his afternoon nap. Also got some pictures hung I've been wanting to do but haven't found the time. Oh time, where have you gone in the rush and sounds of small pitter patter steps around the house!! Some day I will have so much time I know I will be wishing I had these days back...That's why I held Bryce for his morning nap, yes all almost 2 hours and snuggled Grady this morning while Bryce played around us!

Brassiere

Let's hope this kind of wardrobe piece doesn't happen again in Bryce's future...EVER!!

I couldn't resist a picture as he got wrapped up in the straps the other morning. He wasn't complaining by any means because he had No Idea what he was wrapped up in! He was giggling so loud he woke up Grady! Oh, how I love my littlest man!!!

On that note, Grady asked me the other day (when he saw me changing my shirt) if I was wearing a brassiere. I laughed and asked him what that was he said it again and pointed to my bra! How on earth he knows what the word means I'm not sure but I have one idea where he heard it...Daddy!

Fall

I love Fall for these reasons...

I DO NOT like Fall for these reasons...

We had a very large blanket of leaves all over our sidewalk and yard when we arrived home yesterday from work. Not excited about that one bit! I was hoping for a windy day today to blow them into someone else's yard ;-) Turns out it was windy today hehe!!!!

Trick-or-Treat

Trick-or-treating started at 4pm in Hazard with our neighbors Caydence and her mom Cassie
Such a cute shot of Bryce as a Dino, we taught him to 'roar' but only a few saw him entertain

Grady as James from Thomas the Train, he was the blue Thomas last year

My little men

Grady's preschool class last Thursday had their Halloween party. He's the one in the back on the end that ISN'T paying attention or caring one bit...

I partook this year in the festivities and dressed as a pink fairy!

Some of you already know but the night before Grady's party at school he was concerned that one of his friends didn't have a costume. He turned to me and said "Mom, I want to take both of my costumes tomorrow so my friend (who he named) can have one. He doesn't have a costume mom." I told him, with tears in my eyes that he was a Very Good Friend! When we got to school the next morning, without even hanging up his things he went to his friend pulled out both costumes and asked which one he wanted to be, that he brought him a costume to wear. Even cooler that he let the friend choose even though Grady was hoping for James ;-)
