Easter Weekend

We had a great Easter….very relaxing! We just hung out with family Saturday & Sunday.  All the pups came along to the Easter festivities on Saturday and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves!  Dakota even went for a quick dip in my father-in-law’s pool…silly dog!  She was pretty sneaky about it…she knows the pool if off limits to anything with fur J  Dakota simply could not help herself, she LOVES water.  It was pretty funny… her grandpa insisted she fell in as opposed to sneaking in.  I guess I’ll play along too J LOL
When we arrived home Saturday, I was craving cupcakes.  As a kid, my mom always made coconut cupcakes during Easter.  I decided to look up a quick recipe for Easter bunny cupcakes. Needless to say, I found one I loved.  I started baking Saturday night, but decided to decorate Sunday morning before church.  I woke up early to let all the dogs out and decided to let them stay in the kitchen with me as I began to decorate.   It started off ok….definitely not as easy as the picture portrayed these cute little bunny cupcakes to be.  Ryan woke up and called me to the room… he was curious to see what I was working on so early.  I left the kitchen for a couple minutes and upon my return…. I’m sure you can guess what happened.  One of the pups decided to steal a cupcake….still not sure which one, but I’m leaning towards Harley or Dakota.  Thank goodness it was just the one!  Those cupcakes took forever to decorate.  I did cheat though…halfway through I stopped decorating and just began icing the remaining cupcakes.  I blame my pregnancy…I just didn’t have the energy to finish the job.  LOL
Check out the cupcakes I did finish decorating…

Paws in the Park

Last weekend we took the pups to Paws in the Park, it was a beautiful day!  Well, not all the pups attended.  Shelby decided to stay behind… it's not exactly her cup of tea.  Shelby does not like other dogs....only her furry sisters & she's learned to tolerate them over the past two years.  It's funny because most beagles love other dogs, not our little princess.
Dakota and Harley seemed to enjoy the park.  A few vendors gave out treats & a local trainer demonstrated doggie CPR.  Pretty Neat!  I look forward to this event every year, but then again I love anything dog related!  I cannot wait to take our little boy to Paws in the Park next year.  Hopefully, he'll love dogs just as much as his mom….if not more :)
