It has been so long since I've been on here.. It's Decemeber 2010. Almost time for Christmas. I have been in the dispatch dept since August 1 and will be here until February 2011. I can't wait to be done. It's been hard to work the shift I'm on.. 12-10 Monday-Thursday.
Kim is now homeschooling (she's a junior) and working at McDonalds. She has a car and is very busy these days.
Justin is a freshman this year. He's really into his Xbox and not much else. He's so tall now. Both kids are taller then me. Which doesn't come as a surprise considering their dad is tall.
Mike is still nursing and keeping busy with work and getting ready to go back to school. He rode his harley a lot this summer. Next year he has a some road trips planned!
I'll try to post more on here, since I have been lagging.

CAKE DECORATING CLASS

This was our first project... using the flower tip and making our very own

buttercream frosting!! It's amazing that there are 3 different consistencies for icing..

stiff to make roses, medium to make drop flowers and other things.. and thin for writing, making leafs, and outlining!



This was Kim's first cake**EVER** her clouds are gray!

She called it her Depressed Rainbow Cake

Kim's first ROSE- using Stiff Frosting!!

Our colored frosting!! fun to make!! hard to decide on what colors to make them!
