Well after much thought we decided no deck for now.. waaaay more money then we had expected even to do it ourselves.. so we're moving on and working on the fence I think thsi weekend.. instead we're going to landscape and fill the backyard with color and plants:-) Can't wait.. Stanley seems to be doing better..still shedding but his skin is definitely more healthy and he's as playful as ever. I went to doggy class for the first time last week and boy did he embarass us.. haha.. apparently he only sits for treats so the trainer instructed us to use a pinch collar and what a difference... We had such a pleasant walk the other day because of this collar!

This month has been pretty hectic.. 2 weddings, housework, Lavender festival, BBQs.. yikes.. but the summer is going by really fast so much enjoy this weather while it lasts:-)

Will upload pictures later but the bathroom is done and operational:-) has been for about a week now.. it looks awesome and sooo much nicer then what we had.. The toilet was set just in time for the 4th BBQ at our house.. thank goodness. With 20 people, it would have been a pain to share just 1 bathroom in our master bedroom.

So next on the list is the fence, awning, and possible deck. I think Brian and Aaron are going to start on that this weekend.. I will be at the Lavender Festival so wont' be much help:-( Stanley is still balding and we don't know what to do.. We'll just give it some time and see how he does. If he doesn't improve by next month, its back to the vet.. He still acts normal, eats, sleeps, does not itch.. they've ruled out all the ugly diseases so thats good.

Oh and Brian has decided to take up rock climbing. He went for his first climb last week and I think he climbed 40 feet or something..but he loves it so far. I dont' think I will be joining anytime soon..

We are moving again with the bathroom!! Brian ran into some minor problems with the drywall so we were a little delayed.. then Aaron came into town and the tile work has began and will probably finish by end of day today:-) They worked all day yesterday then we hit Chef Liao's for dinner then back to work until about midnight..yikes but I have to say it looks AMAZING!! So professional.. especially the sub tiles.. some photos...
