Dogs

Recon's gone and found himself a new girlfriend. She lives down the street and nearly every morning she escapes from her house and finds her way into our backyard. She gets into our backyard because our other neighbors who live next door, let their little white dog out all day and it drives Recon crazy. Somehow Recon must of broke part of the fence off from this little dog driving him nuts. So now that dog comes over all the time too. I feel like we are running a doggy day care in our backyard. Recon plays all day with these dogs and he gets so worn out.

2 love birds

So sad, he can't fit

At least he has good taste in women, she's pretty cute

Where the heck did spring go?

What a wonderful surprise this morning, we woke up to a few inches of snow and a very wet dog. It has been so warm and sunny the last few days, we even managed to get sunburns. Yesterday, we spent half the day doing yard-work (mowing the lawn, trimming the trees and bushes, weeding and putting lawn fertilizer down), hopefully all our early bird work won't kick us in the butt since everything froze last night. All of our flowers and fruit trees have been blossoming, we'll be keeping our fingers crossed so we can have some yummy peaches again this summer.

It's been a while since I've posted anything. I don't know if it's been the lack of excitement in my life or just no time to write up anything exciting.

About 2 weeks ago my parents and I flew to Rochester, Minnesota. My dad had set up an appointment at the Mayo Clinic for my mom. It was a busy few days, she had appointments with a few different Drs and lots tests and procedures scheduled. We met with Dr. Joseph's, who is one of the world specialists in my mom's condition and he gave us some good answers. It ended up being a really good trip leaving us with a better understanding of what we're dealing with. I had fun exploring the hospital grounds and looking at all the great art.

Last night, us girls went to our cousin Maddie's bridal shower. It was lots of fun seeing everyone and having Maddie entertain us with her hilarious personality.

Some other highlights from the last month...

Matt and Mitra announced that they are pregnant and Matt even came out to visit for a few days!

Ryan's cousin Cody stayed with us last weekend on his way home to Montana. He is leaving for Afghanistan this week. We are happy that we were able to see him again before he leaves. 

My Grandpa Clyde is doing great with his recovery from a skiing accident. He was hit by a stupid snowboarder leaving him with a sub-archnoid hemorrhage, broken facial bones and a lovely stay in the Breckenridge ICU.

Ryan started back to his job in the office a few weeks back. They have been busy with bids and the outlook for the year is looking good so far. 

The bees are back and working diligently on their hive, if only I could figure out a way to harvest their honey. 

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the spring weather (except for today).  I will try to be better with posting this month.
