Is this Coconut??

Coconut got her first Schnauzer cut today!  I surely wish I had taken a before photo because she looked like a chunky puppy this morning.  But this afternoon, she had a full makeover!  If only I could just get a haircut and look skinny!  LOL!

While Coco was getting a haircut, Lexi was with Mom, Sara and the boys picking fresh tomatoes!  Yum!

Lovin’ Jelly the Pug!

Today was Lexi’s preschool class photo and unlike last year I remembered and made sure she wore a dress.  Staying true to the fall photo she wore a “Jelly the Pug” dress.  I’ve had it in the closet for at least two months after buying it for a steal from Zulilly!  It was totally cute!  We went to the grocery store on the way home and so many people commented on how cute she was and even one woman made sure she found out the brand for her daughter. I had to take some photos once we got home and Lexi generously obliged.

And then she had to change into jeans to play with the Coconut!  Coconut made up a new game today which makes Lexi chase her…. she’s so smart!

And yes… we were blog-napped tonight!  How cool is that???  Thanks Lissa for being such a great friend!  You are the best!

By the way…

the poor Easter Sunflower Peep Cake….

Lexi and I got it baked but by the time everyone arrived on Saturday, she had NO INTEREST in finishing it.  So Britt finished it.  It was awesome but yet, once again no one ate it!  So here it is just before I trashed it (I ate a few Peeps… but mostly it was made in the name of tradition and in the end a waste).

looks cute from this view…

but here not so much!

Happy Easter!

Posin’ and Cheesin’…

the REAL Lexi!

Annual Easter Fun!

We had the family over today for Easter (a day early but more convenient for everyone even though we were missing Daddy due to tax-season deadlines.  Of course we had to make the Peep Sunflower cake.  Each year Lexi does more and more in the process without help.  Who knows by next year she may make the entire thing on her own!

This year Lexi colored eggs made from kool-aid!  (much less worrisome!)

After lunch, we had an egg hunt for the kids (and of course, Coconut thinks she is a kid too!).  It was a great fun day for family!  I wish I had taken more pictures!

Puppy Love??

Why do puppies love shoes?  

Coconut so makes us miss Sable when we see her do this.  That said, she is fitting in really well and I think Sable would approve.

Gardening is SERIOUS business!

We have a replacement for Lexi’s worn out wagon!  It’s a mostly worn out wheelbarrow from my Dad.  His was starting to rust through so last year on his birthday we got him a new one and shamelessly claimed the old one for Lexi.  So we planted some flowers and one strawberry plant in it!  Lexi calls it her garden and we plan to keep it going for a very long time!
