A Day at work

I am just here at work and thought I had better post something to my Blog. It has been a good week. Monday Mother, Bonnie, Shauna and I attended the funeral of our Aunt Edra. It was a good funeral and we were able to see cousins we hadn't seen in years. It's funny how the death of a family memeber can make extended family feel so important. We now feel the need to keep in touch now and those family connections are so important. But isn't that what it is all about is family. Eternal families.
Life is good at the Rasmussen house. Michael was asked to the Girls Choice dance by Laney Thompson. She sent a box of starburts to a party he attended last Fri. and he had to go through everyone to find the intials of her name to find out who had invited him. He was a very frustrated guy before he figured it out. We are now trying to figure out how he should answer. We attended a meeting last week to inform parents of a trip the band, orchestra, and jazz choir wil be taking. The end of april they will be performing at Disney Land and touring around. Sounds like fun!
Kelly is taking his parent to Salt Lake tomorrow for Ardens MRI on his hip. We will hopefully find out what the problem is and be able to relieve his pain.
Halloween is coming! It has always been a favorite holiday because it means decorating and making homemade donuts!!! Halloween night the fam is having a donut and pumpkin carving party! If your interested you might want to show up for donuts and cider!!1

Life and times of MaBake Rasmussen

Life at the Rasmussen's is at times quite interesting. This past weekend we have been making and bottling spaghetti sauce. One pan ended up scorched and a terrible mess to scrubb. It also ended up splattered all over the kitchen with tons of dishes and clean up. I swore I would never make this again at home, I would go the the cannery!! My husband had other ideas. While I was at work today, I saw him come and put a large wrapped gift in the pick-up. I hollered out the door " hey sexy what ya doin?" I went out and he gave me the gift. I was really shocked. Wow a large gift just for me! For What!! He said I should open it. So I did and it was a large 24 quart stock pot just to make spaghetti sauce in. He told me that it wouldn't splatter or burn in this one. I guess there is more spaghetti sauce to be made in my new pot!! ( what can I say)
