Happy Birthday Gretel!!!

Gretel celebrated her First Birthday on October 7th....

Here she is with her puppy dog cake, complete with candle!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Those of you who know me well...know just how much this photo kills me...If I were in the room when this photo was taken I would have been under the chair that is wayyyyy behind Chase. I am so not a chicken fan YUCK (or any bird for that matter)!!! This was taken at preschool when I was thankfully home and far far away and safe from this terrible beast :) I am just so very happy that Chase survived this encounter - hee hee. The directors of the preschool said, he LOVED the chicken and was very happy to hold it and have his picture taken...

Yeah...I gotta go throw up - hee hee!!

Today was just a wonderful day - the weather was AMAZING so we headed out to Mt Carmel Park so the dogs could play at the Puppy Park and the kids could play at the Kiddo Park...
