Fruit of the vine... and rice

We have this wonderful grapevine that grows on the fence in our backyard. I thought it would just be sour grapes. but oh no, these are quite delicious and Rigel loves a good grape!

On the Ohana front, we tried rice cereal for the first time yesterday. She was so happy to finally be getting something after her lunges for our food, but I don't think she expected "food" to be so bland. We'll likely mix in some veggies next time.

Our week

The puppies are now 8 weeks and ready to go to their new homes. We haven't sold them all. We may have to "foster" some of them until we can find them new families to live with.

Rigel has really been in to holding Ohana. Not just holding her, laying down with Ohana on his belly. It's pretty cute but sometimes he wants to hold her when she's nursing too. They are developing a cute sibling relationship.

We went to the Boulder Reservoir to have a fun summer activity and be in the water to cool down. It went pretty well since Boyd came along too!

Tutu feature

What an honor! See... Facebook is good for something. I posted to her Facebook page and in turn, was honored.

My mission, birthday date, pee, Cali and more...

Long overdue at updating. We were in Cali for 12 days so I'll try to catch things up in one post. First my mission~ learn how to blog better and more efficiently. Use the tools better like having captions right under the photos and maybe even those slide show and links to things I talk about. It's a process...

Anyway after Crested Butte, my 39th (I mean 29th) birthday came. Boyd and Ohana were my dates! We had lunch at the Med and walked the Pearl St. Mall in Boulder. It was a lovely day.

We have been playing with potty training Rigel. He had a small success in the right direction. He sat on the potty and peed- now only if the pee would land IN the potty and not all across the bathroom rug- yuck! We did update his potty to have more of a "splash guard" thanks to Ikea!

Which is a great transition in to our Cali trip. We made it to the beach and the mountains. We are lacking photos, but we were there. There is one of a kind of planned outfit matching with my mom. She bought her dress and Ohana's romper and we just happened to have this shirt along for Rigel. Picture perfect.

Whew... probably enough for now... but wait... how could I forget the puppies!!!!!

Pipers pups are 6 weeks old and the cutest darn little doggies you have ever seen. They all seem to have her sweet and yes MELLOW temperament. Yes they play, they are puppies, but really they are so calm and sweet. We are NOT keeping any. But one could be yours! Just call me! They are goldendoodles so shedding will be to a very minimum if at all.
