Bocce Tournament





We had a Bocce Tournament on Saturday - the theme was "Surrender the Booty" and everyone dressed up like pirates (or at least they were supposed to). It was a day of bocce, drinking games and BBQ - is there anything better?


The night ended at Oasis - the neighborhood cowboy bar - with shuffle board playing and karaoke. Who knew you could have so much fun in Goodyear, AZ ;-)

LOST PUPPY





On Monday Jeremy went for a jog and noticed a lost pug puppy wandering around in our neighborhood. Jeremy came home, grabbed some hotdogs and we went to catch the little guy. He was really skinny and scared and blind in his left eye, but we managed to catch him and bring him home. We gave him a bath and water and food. We named him Sam since he didn't have a name tag on. Buddy tried to play with Sam but Sam kept nipping at Bud so they pretty much stayed away from each other. It took no time for Sam to warm to up to us and he wrestled with Jeremy all night.

The next morning I called my vet to see if anyone had posted a Lost Dog flyer and sure enough, his owner posted it up there the day before. So his mom came and picked him up that evening. Turns out he escaped under the back gate three days before we found him. Poor little guy had been without food and water in the 105 degree heat for three days. I wouldn't have minded having him around a little longer but I think Buddy was happy to have his house back ;-)

Vegas Baby!!

Tuan-our chef

The Crew

Over Labor Day weekend, Jeremy and I went to Las Vegas to celebrate our 4 year anniversary!! Our friends Jen & Andrew and Angie & Jason joined us as well because their anniversaries are right around the same time too. We stayed at the Las Vegas Hilton - in the newly renovated side. The MOST comfortable beds EVER!!! They ruined me, I will never sleep that good again!!!
We got there on Saturday and I hung by the pool while Jeremy took a nap. I pretty much slept the whole drive to Vegas ;-) Then the six of us went to Benihana's for dinner - see Tuan our chef above!! Then we went to the posh Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay for the rest of the night - so much fun!!! Let's just say we had to put Jeremy in a cab at midnight to go back to the hotel b/c he drank a bottle of saki at dinner!!
Sunday night Jen and I went to the Justin Timberlake concert - which was AMAZING!! Then we went out to the new club at Luxor 'LAX' and Angie and I got in the VIP lounge of Stavros Niarchos and Brody Jenner!!
Very fun weekend with friends and celebrities!!!
