Sarah was back to give Bandit and Annabelle haircuts.  They love her and they are so good for her.  I can't say enough about how wonderful Sarah is with our doggies.

Annabelle is pooped.  Isn't she cute curled up like that?

Sarah agreed that Annie was getting a little chunky - she loves her treats.  Sarah suggested carrots, eggs and other less fattening treats. She says that milk bones are high in carbs.  I never heard of dogs eating carrots.

Annabelle loves them, she will eat anything.

Bandit turned his nose up at first but he does eat them now.

I have been making these little breads a lot this month.  Our church gives these to visitors every Sunday.  I was asked to make them for the month of April.  I have made many batches - carrot, pumpkin, chocolate, pound and lemon.

I made a glaze to go on the carrot cake bread.

I found this carrot ribbon which was perfect for Easter.

Every Wednesday night during Lent our church had "soup suppers" before the service.  I made ham and bean and it was yummy. 

I am sorry that my pictures from our trip to Warrenton are blurred.  Not sure why and I wasn't going to post them but I decided I would anyway.  Some of my favorite people-my cousins and aunts.  We had a great day - talking, catching up and laughing a lot.

and lots of good food and drink.  We must do this again soon.

Several weeks ago we kept Emerson and had a fun day at King's Dominion - Emmy had a dance competition.  Her group did very well. 

Getting ready to go in the theater.

So cute!  I loved their outfits.

Loved her hair.

The girls with their dance instructor.

After the competition.

Following her performance they had access to the park.  Lots of fun - the weather was perfect and no lines.

Back to the theater to hear the results.  Emmy's group got very high scores.

Emmy loves to cook.  So we attempted to make "cake balls" from the Bakerella website and her book. 

But we were not very successful.  I didn't have the right sticks and the dough was too wet, not sure why.  Our cake balls just didn't stay together when we dipped them in the icing.  Oh well, we will try another time.

The batter was very yummy.

...a bit of a mess..

We had fun anyway.  Thanks Emerson, we had a blast with you.
