Karissa's latest creation

We are so proud of her!

Introducing the next Cake Boss

For Christmas Jason's parents got Karissa cake decorating classes at Michaels and she is loving it. This was her first cake she decorated and I think she did an awesome job. She now wants to make Kendall's cake for her birthday in June and she has already started drawing it out.
I love Karissa's artistic talent!!

Updates 2011

On Jan 17th I had surgery and so far everything is going pretty well. My aunt and mom came to help me out for the week. Meanwhile Jason has started a construction project that we have talked about for a few years now. We have vaulted ceilings and in the winter we freeze and while they look nice they are wasted space. So now him and his dad are building us a loft. This would give us 250 extra sq ft!!! I'm excited because we don't have a basement and the girls play in our living room and we feel like we don't have space for ourselves. He has told me his part will be done in 2 weeks and then we will have to get a carpet person and an electrician to finish the rest. I hate the mess but I can't wait to see the end result.

Snow days with Daddy

The girls were so excited to go sled riding with Jason. We hadn't seen much of him after Thanksgiving. He was working 6 days a week which equaled 72 hours a week up until Dec 23rd. It was crazy around here so it was nice when his work "slowed" down enough for him to play with the girls.

Christmas 2010

We had a great Christmas this year. The girls were so excited and so fun to watch. We went to Jason's parents for lunch and Karissa read the Christmas story from the bible. It was bittersweet because Krista usually does it. Next Christmas were praying that they will be here permanently!! We've been very blessed this year and we can't wait to see what is in store for 2011.
