Puppy sitting

This weekend we took care of our friends dog while he enjoyed a weekend playing in Vegas. My kids love Koda so much! She is such a good dog! She is great with the kids too, she loves them as much as they love her.

 

  

Tyler and I have decided once we get moved and settled in we are going to get ourselves a dog. We are a much healthier family when we have a dog. I took Koda for walks every morning and we went on bike rides every night so she could run and we went hiking. We hiked from our neighborhood to Fain Park. We wanted to see how far it was from our house. It's crazy but it really takes us longer to drive to the lake then it does to walk to it.

 

The cacti are all blooming. It is so beautiful here right now.

Even this very strange cactus is pretty. I have no idea what it is but it is right here in our neighborhood. I wish I had a better picture of it, my I Phone doesn't do it justice. It is green and cactusie on the bottom and the long shoot that is coming out of it is a deep red. Very weird looking! I could never get a good shot of it from the car so I decided to walk to it. I saw a lot of fun critters on my walk this time. Lizards, Rabbits, Road runners and a big Crane swooped in by the fountains and landed near the water. It was really cool to see but it landed to far away for my phone to get a good pic.

We also got our flowers planted this weekend. We wanted to make this area a salsa garden but when we found out we were moving I didn't want to put all the work into it so we just added some flowers.

I'm looking forward to the next few weekends. We have a LOT going on!

A little update on Dad. He had a Dr. Appointment yesterday and they were able to adjust his night time medication so that he (and Mom) can get more sleep. His blood pressure was still high so another medication was added. He will be going back to that Dr. in a week. He has therapy everyday this week. I talked to him on the phone and asked him how he is doing. He told me 110%. Can't beat that! Even if he was being sarcastic :)
