Another year has gone by.

Shawntell turned 9 on Easter Sunday. She wanted a butterfly cake. I tried a new type of frosting. It never really "set" up. I even tried to freeze the cake. But as soon as it began to thaw the frosting began to ooze down the sides. Oh well it was still good.

See the frosting slowly falling off the cake?

 Shawntell is such a sweet addition to our family! She is so caring and kind. She always wants everyone to be happy. She has a little bit of the "motherly" nature to her. She tries to settle any fight and has figured out how to make her little brother and sister feel guilty about not "doing what they are suppose to be doing". She is an amazing little girl---we love her!
