Pepper... Shag-Oh-lah!

She was pretty much asking for attention...
SOoooo, I gave her a hair cut!

prob the last time she'll come to me and tilt that cute little head of hers...

HAPPY SPRING!!

My neighbor has these beautiful flowers in their yard... they come up every spring, and when they die, they just mow over them... What a fun idea!! I just LOVE them! I believe they are called Croakis? (spelling might be off... um, way off. Maybe Heather or Lauren could help me out on that one??)

Spring time is one of my favorites... not only the flowers and awesome Easter candy... but it's fun to take Pepper to get groomed... it's like getting a whole new dog. HA. i get the biggest kick out of these pictures... i mean, WHAT IS THAT in the first picture???

BEFORE:

AFTER: she is SO happy... a little cold this week because of the light snow we've been getting... but we've got sweaters for that. They did a GREAT job with her this time... she's not running into walls anymore.

Celebrate Spring by making these delicious cookies!!!

I got this recipe off my Friends blog... check it out... she does a cookie of the month as well as other recipes... and she's really funny! Thanks A for sharing! (these are REALLY rich, I suggest making them small... with a teaspoon size drop... that way you can just pop them in your mouth.

Enjoy! (Mmm. they also freeze well... so make a whole bunch and freeze them for later!)

Mint Oreo Cookies

Cookie
1 chocolate cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 c. oil

mix well (batter will be thick) scoop onto greased cookie sheet and bake for 7 minutes at 350. For the bigger size I used a Tablespoon and the mini cookies was a teaspoon (which only baked for 5 minutes). My kids loved the little size. Let cool completely and then frost the back of one cookie with mint frosting and stick two together to make a sandwich. enjoy!!
