Easter March 31, 2013




We are so proud of Katie!!  She's been asking about being baptized and wanted to be baptized at Easter.  Her reasons for that day was first because of Jesus's resurrection and then because Karissa was baptized on Easter 2008.
That day was a chilly day but she wanted to be baptized in the pond and we couldn't talk her out of it.
The water was a warm 42 degrees!! You can see the "pain" of the cold water hitting her skin just by looking at her face.  Jason baptized her and she wanted her two grandfathers in the pond with her. 
Karissa was so excited for her and it was a sweet sister moment!

What's happening in our world

Karissa is really doing great in 9th grade.  It was a smooth transition going from middle school to high school.   She gets up early and before school starts she goes into Krista's kindergarten class and helps out for about an hour and a half then walks over to JCTC for her first class.  She wants to be a teacher so this is a great opportunity for her to get a glimpse of what its like.  Krista puts her to work and the prinicipal was very impressed with Karissa.
   She's stopped playing the piano which was sad for me because she's been playing it since she was 5.  She is going to start volleyball at KBA on Oct 14th so she can improve her skills for when she tries out for the high school volleyball team next year.

Katie is in 3rd and doing really good too.  She is our social butterfly so when she gets home I get to hear every detail about her day....every detail! After taking ballet since was 3 she has decided to take a break this term.  She is now in a hip hop class and loves it. 

Kendall is still at home with me and I babysit a friend's little girl half day and Kendall and Kami love being together. 

Jason is still working the same hours and now he is on a safety board and loves it.  It means more hours but he doesn't mind.  He has started building a fence for our backyard and one side is up!  He's going to have it finished within the next 2 weekends.  He comes home on Saturday mornings after working all night long and gets working on the fence, not sure how he does it!!

Hunting season is approaching and Karissa wants to go hunting with her dad and pawpaw.  She and pawpaw took the hunters saftey class back in Aug and she passed, she was very excited.  Me..not so much!

Kendall turns 3




We had a pool party for Kendall's 3rd birthday and we had several friends and family show up.  She is so busy that its really difficult to get pictures of her and anytime the sun is out she closes
 the same eye.
Her best friend got her princess dolls that looked like them and all that night Kendall kept talking about baby "Kami" and baby "Kendall"!

Karissa's 8th grade graduation





Her middle school years have come and gone.  I remember crying and fretting about her going into middle school and now high school is around the corner.  She had a great experience in middle school and she liked all of her teachers too.
