School Pictures

The boys pictures came today! I have to say that I have very handsome boys! I loved the way that they turned out! I bought a disc so I could print my own and put them online. I will have them mailed out soon.

Cake Decoraing Week 2

Week two of Cake Decorating class is over and I learned some new things. I torted the cake. That just means that I put a filling in it. I used almond pastry filling. And it was YUMMY! We learned how to do dots and move the dots to make long lines. I really need practice but it was fun!My fish cake from the top
From the side. I used a color mist for the red. It is like spray paint for cakes. It works really well!

I think it turned out good and I am my worst critic. What do you think?

Well, it has been a good week here in Marshfield! There has been a lot to do and lots of fun was had!


1. Jared and I joined the local YMCA! We have been working out almost everyday! The Y has an area for the boys to go while we are working out. It has the Wii, bikes that they can race each other, ping pong, and kid sized equipment! The boys love it! Because Jared works for Ministry the boys get free swimming lessons every session. Their session starts on Saturday!

2. I have started taking a cake decorating class. So far I have only learned to make stars and to frost a cake. I still have a lot of work to do on the frosting part.

3. The boys are enjoying school.

4. The litter is still being scooped!

Have a great week!

Cake Stars

On Tuesdays in September I take a cake decorating class. It is being held at a local hardware store. It runs for four Tuesdays. I take it with my friend Kate! We both had a blast last night! We learned to make stars last night. We had to bring cookies to practise on. I also have homework to do. I have to practise the stars. Also, next week we are decorating on a cake. We will also be filling the cake with some good stuff. So far I love it!Kellen's cookie that I made him

The Fair 2010!

On Labor Day we took the boys to the Central Wisconsin State Fair. We were there for a long time but we had a great time! Plus, we even got a Christmas present there! We looked at what all the 4-H kids did. The boys got a good idea as to what they can do in 4-H. They are going to be joining later this month. A cute idea! Don't look Ben and Marie.

This was taken right after everyone under 20 was crying. Also, this was before Kellen started feeling sick. It was not a good ride all in all.

We saw all the animals and even saw a few cows being milked. Which Kellen has not seen. The boys had some good times and so did the adults!

What a crazy week it has been! Getting back into the school thing is kind of hard. Especially because we start fifteen minutes earlier than we did at the old school. But the up side of that is we get out earlier!

1. The first day of school went well for the boys! They said that they met some kids! I was a wreck for them. They held it together better than I ever remember doing when we moved.

2. Jared bought us a composter. It is HUGE and shaped like the Death Star or so I am told. Chick HERE it see it.

3. More canning, freezing, and drying has been done!

4. The litter is still being scooped!

Have a great week! We will be heading to the Central Wisconsin Fair this weekend! I think I will sit outside tonight and see if I can hear the Beach Boys.

Back To School 2010-11

We started back to school yesterday. I have to say things went better than I had hoped for. Yes, the kids were nervous, it being the first day at a new school and all. But before I even left Kellen had a few kids around him and he was talking to them! Ethan, got home and told me that he has a new best friend! He could not remember his name but they are best friends! They did miss Luther (our old school) at lunch. They said that Luther lunch was better. You know how important lunch is right?Here are the boys ready to go to school!
