Yesterday as my parents left for the BYU Football game I just couldn't decide if we should go with them. It seemed sunny, but chilly and it was supposed to get really stormy as the day went on. I decided not to go, only because I was worried about keeping Jackson warm and dry...if it got really bad.
We (Jackson and I) sat at home and watched the football game, at half-time I was feeling bad I hadn't just gone to the game, the weather didn't seem all that bad. Since it was just Jackson and I we went to subway and got dinner during half time. As we came out of subway it began sprinkling, by the time we got home it was snowing---snowflakes the size of quarters! It was then I was very glad I was not sitting at the BYU Football game holding Jackson and trying to keep him dry.
After we ate dinner I took him outside to explore it. He kept sticking his hands out in front of him as if to try to catch it or feel it or something, it was very cute ( if I do say so myself). He sat down and crawled in it and just laughed and laughed. It was really funny to watch him.
He loved the snow and couldn't get enough of it. We were out there for about 20 minutes, when I realized I was freezing and Jackson probably was too. My fingers were bright red and I hadn't even touched the snow like he had. So I dragged him back inside...kicking and screaming. He really didn't want to come in. He was so soaking wet and I couldn't believe that he wanted more.
I've decided we need to invest in some warm snow clothes. I had thought about it before, but wondering if we would get all the gear on and then 5 minutes later he would just want to go back inside, but seeing how much he loved it yesterday (while he was freezing to death) made decide to make the big purchase. If anyone knows where to get cheapish snow stuff, let me know. I want him to be warm, but I don't necessarily want to pay top dollar.

What a big smile on his face and good luck bundling the little man up!
So fun! It rarely snows here, and when it does people freak out and buy all of the milk and bread at the stores! The streets get crazy! Brianna will have to just enjoy snow when we visit Utah! I love how happy Jackson is!
I'm surprised the cold didn't bother him. What a cute kid. Looks like you made a good decision to stay home from the game!
What a sweetie! Yeah, we ditched out on the game too, out friends said it was fun in the snow, but I liked being in my dry apartment and watching it all on TV. Quick random story for you, Jared's sister is living in Roman Gardens now and told us that a girl was climbing around the chastity wall on the 2nd floor and fell! She's ok, but had to have surgery on her feet. That is so sad! I'm so glad that never happend to us, I always stayed away from that, scary!
That's so cute Michelle. I bet it's neat seeing him experience things for the first time like that.
mich!
it is HIGH time you updated! :) look how cute little jackson face is in the snow! (by the way, i can't believe there is snow there! we just barely dropped in temperature here...the day's high is going to be 72. man. you're so lucky!)
yes, you should take the plunge and get some nice warm threads for jackson. I have NO idea where to find any of those kind of items. So, I wish you all the best in your search AND will cross my fingers that you don't have to pay "top dollar"! :) you kill me.
lots of love to the rasmussen fam.
let's talk in REAL life soon, not here in FAKE life. :)
Very cute pictures. Jackson is such a cute kid. We also skipped out on the game. I'm looking for snow clothes too right now so if you find a good deal, let me know. I'll do the same :).
looks like so much fun!! as far as good snowsuit deals, I've seen some really high quality ones that look almost new at random second hand children's stores--like Kid to Kid. They've always caught my eye, becuase they are such a bargain.
Also, I've been meaning to ask you--how did you design your title on your blog?? I really think it is cute and want to add a little more "pizazz" to my blog!
thanks for the info Michelle!
Well, as far as the business thing goes--it is coming by slowly. It's mostly just something fun for me to do--nothing too serious. (you know--just something to look forward too, besides changing diapers :) ).
I've been slowly working on the site--when I have time, so it is taking forever! But I plan to post it once it is more put together! I just haven't had much time to get it together. But I've been trying to practice a lot and build up a portfolio. let me know if you want me to do some "practicing" on you guys!
Don't worry - we went to that game. It was cold.. but ironically we were prepared (thinking we were over-prepared). It was crazy weather! "We will fight... rain or snow."
