Fighting for Dominance #1

Here is Pepsi play fighting with Klay (3 1/2 year old Daschund cross Chihuahua). They do this every day and make a even bigger show when we come out with camera's! So cute! I do wonder though if Klay realizes that one day Pepsi will be bigger than him!

Meet our new best friend

While we were in Bunbury, Anson wanted to check out some 6wk old boxer pup's. After his 9yr old boxer Jem got bitten by a snake about 2 months ago, we wanted to get a new puppy and the breeder had two left. So we went there, fell in love and Neil & fam brought it back with them a few days later. Here she is at 7 weeks old,

Her name is : Pepsi

Pancake Recipe

Here is the recipe for Pancakes that are fluffy like Hotcakes,

I did not make the recipe, though i did change it a little to the way i like it. You may find you'll need to add more milk. I don't make them huge as they are thick and quite filling. Enjoy!!

The beginnings of 2009

Hi! This will be our very first post so it makes sense to me to start at the beginning of the year! Though we have no photo's to prove it, we awoke on the 1st of jan (by choice we slept outside) after spending a fun-filled New Year's Eve with Neil and Trinette and fam. We decided to make them breakfast as a thank you for letting us stay the night at their fav holiday spot in Bunbury. We cooked, Actually Anson cooked pancakes that taste like Mc hotcakes, bacon,eggs and hashbrowns, Mmmmm it was very yum! Then we went off to Gnomesville, it sounds creepy but it was really cute. It was meant to be a 20 min drive :) and we took a gnome which we had all signed and placed it with hundreds of other gnomes that other people had randomly placed along the road and into the bush. Very fascinating-you have to see it to believe it and one day we plan to check it out and see if our gnome is still there! The rest of the day was spent by the pool, very relaxing! Def my kind of thing!
