The Cake Project!!

 Kelsi had a science project this year and she decided to do a taste test on the difference of baking a cake with applesauce, the regular way with oil, and the weight watchers diet soda cake where you just put a cake mix and 1 can of diet soda!!  

We had a little party for the tasting of the cakes!!  No one knew what cake was which and at the end they had to sign the card of the cake they liked!!

Mike and Hayley like cake #1 which was the regular way of cooking a cake!!

Allison, Jacob and I liked the Applesauce cake!!

But the winner which I was really surprised was the cake #3 with Diet soda!!

Todd, Vicki, Holly, Richard and Jessica!!

I wanted to thanks the Lowders, and Mike for coming over and helping us decide to make Kelsi's project a lot of fun!!

Jessica and Mike!!

A little bit of a Cheesy picture!!  This is Mike, Jessica's wonderful guy!!  He is such a nice guy and take such great care of Jessica!!  

Tough Guys!!

These to are just so much alike!!  Tough with attitude!!  Funny thing after this picture they were laughing like crazy!!

Funny it was a serious shot but Jessica couldn't stop laughing!!  Richard and Kelsi had no problem!!

Ben's new car

Ben bought his first car this week!!  How exciting for him!!  Drive safe!!

The Sr. Picture!!

So the main reason other than having our family pictures done for my Christmas cards was Jacob's Sr. pictures!!  Here is one of them!! More of a serious shot!!

Ok so here is the Jacob we all know alot better than serious!!  

Such meaning!!

I love pictures that just have a feeling that makes you smile, this is one of them!!  Even though Richards head is cut off a little I almost think it added more feeling to it!! They each just look so happy!!

From Behind...

Just incase you wanted to see a picture from the other side!!  LOL

Sisters!!

in my head I thought

...why do I always feel I need to wake up early?

...thankful for the rain while I was off!!

...why do my days off go so fast?

...what is Richard and I going to do on Thanksgiving all alone??

...wondering how I will cope with this cold weather coming!

...why do I love food so much?

...how wonderful it would be to have a visit from my favorite people (you know who you are    when are you coming)!!

...I will miss my husband and kids this week while I am gone!

...Why is Richard so good to me? What did I do to get him!!

...where can I go so I can drive my new car?

...I am addicted to this computer.

...I wonder what Jacob will decide about college.

...Our family picture came back so good, but I am going to out them on my blog slowly to make everyone come back...

...I love my life, I am thankful to everyone who has made it so awesome!!

Fun in the leaves

IF YOU

IF YOU

...came to eat at my house for dinner you would find we eat a buffet style.

...saw my husband and I together you would know we are madly in love with each other.

...are on my Christmas card list I would try my hardest to be your first card.

...write our address in your phone book in pen you would have to use a lot of white out to always change our address.

...came over after 9 p.m. you would find our house all sleeping.

...came over anytime you would always find a clean house.

... visited us and spent the night I would wake before you. (except my father)

...go out to dinner with me you would either eat dessert with me or watch me eat mine like my husband does.

...sit on my couch our puppy will think you are visiting him.

...walked in our front door you would see an extra fridge in the entry way.

...toured our house you would see Jessica has the master bedroom but Richard and I have the whole basement.

...walk by our house you would realize how loud our family is!!
