Manny the mantis

Mason found "Manny" the baby praying mantis in our backyard. The boy has eagle eyes! We have been learning alot about the praying mantis. It is currently residing in our butterfly habitat. I can't even imaging what the next exciting addition to out family will be. :)

Oops...this was supposed to go in the last set of pics.

More Cakes

I made my first and probably last wedding cake and had Cameron's birthday and a graduation cake all within 2 weeks. I made at least 12 pounds of frosting. Needless to say I am on a cake break!

Nina's (my mom) birthday cake

I have taken 2 cake decorating classes and have enjoyed it very much. I have learned a few new tricks and am proud of what I have created. My children now believe that cake is actually frosting......I have never used so much powdered sugar and crisco in my entire life!

Crazy boys!

Fun on the farm
