Rasmussen Review

2011

Genevieve- This year Genevieve was born! This year she has learned how to recover from RSV, giggle, clap, crawl, walk, play, say her first words, and to eat solids. She loves her Mama, her bottle, her blanket, Mom’s car Keys, dancing to music, her binky, and getting into everything within reach.

Benjamin - This year Benjamin turned 3! He started his first year of preschool. He loves riding his bike, going swimming, eating candy, jumping on his trampoline (and anything else for that matter), going to the park, collecting rocks and other such treasures, playing games on family game night, singing and dancing, and coloring.

Angeli-This year Angeli turned 4! She started her second year of preschool, got her very own puppy, and enjoyed swimming lessons. Angeli loves going swimming, going to the museum, being mom’s helper, playing princess, story time, playing on the trampoline, riding her bike, going on vacation, tickle torture, and taking care of her puppy.

Bridger- This year Bridger turned 5! He learned how to swim, started kindergarten, and lost his first three teeth. Bridger loves partying, going to the children’s museum, family movie nights, coloring and doing art, cooking with mom, doing science experiments, playing with his friends, jumping on the trampoline, building forts, going camping, and being crazy!

Emily – This year Emily got another year older! ;) She kicked off the year with the birth of her fourth precious little baby. Emily ran her first half marathon, learned that caring for four kids is more work than three, enjoyed all of Stewart’s time off before residency started, fell in love with working with the young women at church, loves taking pictures of the kids, enjoyed her flower garden, enjoys making the holidays magical, and blogging about it all. She happily retired all her home businesses and now in her “spare” time likes thinking about the possibility of scrapbooking.

Stewart- This year Stewart turned 30! During this year he graduated from medical school, was accepted into the University of Arizona residency program in radiology, and he started his intern year in internal medicine here in Reno. When he wasn’t practicing doctoring he enjoyed his many home improvement projects, doing his woodworking, reading several book series with Emily and our month long family vacation this summer visiting Yosemite, Disneyland, Southern California, Las Vegas, Arizona, and the Grand Canyon.

This year we have been so blessed. We can’t help but feel so much gratitude and love toward our gracious Heavenly Father for tenderly watching over our little family. This time of year we are especially touched by the miracle of Christ’s life; from His humble birth, redeeming atonement, magnificent resurrection, and His restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ we are filled with awe for his gifts to all the world. We pray that His love along with our Heavenly Father’s will bless your lives this new year. We love you and count your friendship and love a precious gift!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Love,

The Rasmussen Family
