My big ten month old boy...and my broken dog!

My baby boy is ten months old, and he thinks he is soooo big! He is through and through a true boy, everything about him screams boy! It is so funny to compare my two children. Brinlee is the most dainty, girly princess you will ever meet, she is into dresses, jewelry, makeup, shoes, purses, and anything else you can think of that is pink! Then there is Brecken he is loud and rough. He beats his sister with anything he gets his hands on, he is constantly on the move until the second he falls asleep and he yells and growls constantly. He is not even mad, he just thinks its funny. This morning he was quietly resting his head on my shoulder getting ready to take a nap(keep in mind this is the only time that he actually holds still) when all of the sudden his head pops up and he starts pointing at something and yelling at it, of course. I look closer and there is a bug crawling across the tile. He squirms off my lap and heads right for the bug and picks it up and starts to play with it. Anyway my point is my kids are night and day, it is hilarious.
He has conquered standing while holding his sippy cup..

Can you see all four teeth on the bottom...That makes six now he is going on eight!

Here is an example of Brecken's talking, he is hilarious!! It's horrible to say, but at one point it looks like he is going into a seizure or something!

My poor puppy!! So Brad ran our dog over the other day, how sad is that! We had just left her for a few days and we think she thought Brad was leaving her again so she ran to chase the car. Luckily he just got her one leg. She gets around on it pretty good now, but the poor thing couldn't hardly move with the cast when she first got it. And of course Brecken has to grab her cast and pull on it! All my family has signed her cast, everyone feels bad for poor Lizzy!

Here is a short little clip with Brecken taking a few steps. He walks really well until he realizes he is not holding onto anything. Watch in the background and you will see Lizzy hoping along with her cast.

Rasmussen Family Reunion

So we went "camping" down by Beaver for my family reunion last weekend. I say "camping" because my family, as in Brad, I, and Brecken(Brinlee of course had to stay with Grandma and Grandpa) stayed in the Best Western in town, while everyone else really did camp. For all of you that may not know, Brad does not camp! The Best Western IS camping! He is a little OCD and just has to be clean. I've accepted that, and just humor him when we have to stay in a hotel. Whatever! Anyway, we had a good time during the day. Brinlee had a great time playing with her cousins and Brecken thought it was fantastic to play in the dirt and get as messy as he could! There was a lake up there that had canoes on that the kids loved.

Now its Grandpa's turn to take them...

My dad tied two canoes together so he could take all the kids fishing.

This is Brecken before I cleaned him up for the ride to the hotel. I think he thinks dirt tasts like chocolate.
