Before and after: An Aussie tail (hehe...Get it?)

 Aussie in all her hairy glory

She wouldn't let it go

Hairy rump

I finally got it away from her, but boy did she pout 

Can you say fixated?

Sad puppy 

Later, after a grooming ordeal, we had one happy and cool pup.

Presenting The Hairless (and a whole lot skinnier looking) Wonder!

Much better

I think she agrees..If you cant tell 

Does she look like a hyenna to anyone else?

I never noticed she has such a big tounge

Leaky Faucet

For the last…well lets just say since we’ve moved in, our faucet has been a constant peeve. The annoyance of said dripping started to increase in December. The dripping became so incessant that we started to shut off the water from underneath the sink. Every time you went to use the faucet you would have to climb under the sink. BLAH!

We mentioned this to Randy, a friend in our neighborhood. This man came to the rescue with this beautiful piece of plumming.

 here is the new faucet with the old one in the sink

Beautiful work by Adam

Beautiful mess by me

Handsome handy man

Again...handsome handy man...He'll kill me when he sees this

This was either, "Eck...I got something in my eye. I hate being under the sink!"

or "Eck Sara just posted a picture of my rump!"

SUCCESS! 

Beatrice the bunny

I finished my Bunny!

I thought I would get Easter presents done early.

This is my favorite part…So did not mean to make it look so “rump-ish” but I totally Love it!

Up until she is gifted however she is part of the Easter décor!

St. Patty's

As you may remember from my posts last year around St. Patrick’s Day I really enjoy the green gilded holiday. Maybe it is because of the bit of Irish blood in me. Maybe it is because I Celtic danced for so long, or maybe it’s because I just really like the music, the leprechaun legends, the accent, or even it’s because of the movie Darby O’Gill and the Little People. Either way it truly is one of my favorite celebrations.

This day of green I was able to partake in a special treat. My dear friend Cindy asked if I would like to ride in the Salt Lake St. Patrick’s Day Parade. CHyA!

 Adam was waiting for the parade to begin.

Aussie seemed to enjoy herself...SHe even wore her green!

Me on Tonka...A 16 hand beauty!

We were in front of a little Irish dance group, and I swear Tonka was trotting to the music he was also posing for pictures!

Everyone kept asking me if I had a fake leg so I had to keep wiggling them to prove it.

This dress, not to mention saddle, was made for someone taller than I.

Adam followed us to the end of the parade route. No one questioned whether he was part of the parade. I think its because of Aussie wore her green.

March Madness

 As it goes with how life has been the last little while I have not had a chance to update this blog. I am still bound and determined to keep my new years resolutions so here for you today is a month of March review.

Starting off the month I tried my hand at home made bread. WITH YEAST AND EVERYTHING!!! I know, I know, my mother is very proud. I had a very rare few hours right smack dab in the middle of one day, and here is the by product:

 I didn't know how you can tell when it was fully risen. So I used a dry erase marker to make the "start place" then i could tell when it was about doubled

 While I waited for it to rise i cleaned up the massive mess.

 This is where Aussie stayed the whole time. It was like her

"See, Im being good...Can I have some?" face.

 THis is what happens when you use your phone to get the recipe.

 The line really did help!

 I really like my rolling pin

it makes a good mallet too.

 After the cleaning...flour everywhere!

 The finished product!

Then Aussie started showing her interest

Isn't it pretty?

He likes it! Hey Mikey!
