Happy Birthday Bella!

Bella had her 1st Birthday party this weekend! This was Jeepers first doggy Birthday party, and she had a blast. It was also the first time for her to swim in a human pool (instead of the doggy pool at the dog park). I'm pretty sure that she prefers to swim in the dog park pool over the human pool...

The dogs enjoyed running around the pool and jumping in to get the balls

Happy Birthday, Bella!!!!

Rosh Hashanah!

My family celebrated Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish new year) Wednesday evening and Thursday. Wednesday, we had a fantastic dinner at Heidi & David's house before heading off to services. This year Heidi's brother celebrated with us this year. He lives out of the country, and I had not seen him in at least 5 years. Thursday, Grandma hosted a late family lunch (sorry- I forgot to take pictures while we were there)!

Heidi did a beautiful job setting the table!

Jeepers & Bella

Jeepers & Bella had another play date... I know it's probably VERY boring to see so many pictures of Jeepers, but too bad! I'm so relieved that Jeepers is finally starting to get out of her puppy stage! I'm starting to leave her out of her crate (very short amounts of time), and she's (so far) doing really well! On Wednesday, Jeepers & I went over to Farin's so that she could play with Bella:

Jeepers found Bella's half eaten football

...which turned into a game of keep away!

Stand off!

Don't let Bella get the football! Jeepers in action.

Bella!

I didn't get much accomplished this week, in terms of shopping, but I'll keep you posted with the deals I get on groceries and food. I won't be able to do the $50 in September challege, as a few things have popped up which will prevent me from doing it. :( Hopefully I'll be able to do it in October!

Have a great & safe long weekend!
