Here it is! This is our family picture that we took in November right before Thanksgiving. I love this photo of the three of us, we will probably try and do a family photo every year from now on. Kiersten has been working diligently on her science project display board this last week. We are going to St. Cloud, MN for the regional science fair this weekend. She participated in the county science fair and won a medal! She was one of twelve that won out of about 200 students. She is very excited to participate in the next level; I will post a photo of her board when she gets it done.
Her experiment was whether following the guidelines of the Food Pyramid, (eating and exercise) for a month would improve your health. Guess who the guinepigs were?! We tested our cholesterol, weight, blood sugar and BMI prior to the start of the experiment. It was the most difficult month ever!!! It was very time consuming to cook all the different food groups and get the reccomended amounts of exercise. Overall, it was totally worth it and the experiment created some greate habbits in our family. I will be sure to post next to week to tell you all how the fair goes:)

  1. Beautiful picture of your family. How wonderful Kiersten won the county fair award. How exciting for her to participate in the science fair. I will be looking forward to seeing her board on the blog. Great Job Rades Family for helping Kiersten with her project. Grandma gives you all a high five.
