no work today

Today Neil and I both had off work. We had such a nice day of relaxation and catch-up. We took a long bike ride, bought some flowers for my garden and had lunch with my mom & minnie at AJ's outdoor grill. It was a cool 67 degrees outside which was pretty enjoyable for a bike ride. Now its time to have home-made teriyaki chicken (outside on the patio table to enjoy the weather) and dairy queen afterward ;)

 
The beautiful flowers I planted today. 

I do have an obsession with beautiful flowers. Neil thinks "I am always buying and replacing flowers." With that comment I decided to hook myself up with some miracle grow; I will show him and have the most beautiful flowers on the block.

matching pink nails

I love my little family. 

We really enjoy our family time with little Minnie. We take her pretty much wherever we go; she gets so much love from her parents! 

Last week was her first grooming appointment at Petsmart. She got a report-card and it was too cute; she received all "excellents" and the groomer said "Minnie was the sweetest dog she had been around in a long time." She even got her nails painted pink like her mommy!

We have been considering buying a second dog so sweet little Minnie has a friend to play with all the time. It is just a matter of what breed and if we can handle two puppies. We are thinking a small dog (I LOVE all dogs, but for myself, I can't do big dogs. Big dogs=huge poops, slobbering, shedding & tearing up furniture.) For now she can play with her little friends!!
 
Minnie &  daddy nap time. Minnie heard me sneaking up with the camera and quickly opened her little eyes for this shot.
"Minnie its time to go out"... and this is where she goes & hides.
 She loves her little chicken. She runs around the backyard, flipping it around in the air.
A family trip to the art fair at Fountain Hills. Stylish little thing with her new leash.
Running up and down the hills at the park.

do you remember when?


"we first met i sure do, it was some time in early September, though you were lazy about it, you made me wait around
I was so crazy about you, I didn't mind"

I didn't think it was possible to listen to a CD the whole way through. 
Over and Over again.
Until I listened to Jack Johnson's music.


Neil and I are veryyyyyyyy fortunate to see him live in concert this October! He called earlier to tell me we were in row 5. Yay for Jack Johnson!
