Janae's 9th Birthday!

Our sweet neighbor made this cute cake!

Her friends came over and they participated in a scavenger hunt...

...that took them around the house. 

After a trip to Chuck E Cheese, we came back to open presents...

...eat ice cream and chips...

...and drink izzes.
Janae said it was the best birthday party ever!

I forgot how fun this is!

Weekend in Napa/Sacramento


We took a quick trip to California at the end of February (first weekend in March). 

We spent a day in Napa and toured a winery that used biodynamic farming (which is even better than organic). 

We tasted some really great wine, and the scenery was pretty - even without any grapes (or leaves) on the vines.


We also went inside the underground storage which had thousands of wine barrels (which cost around $900 apiece) apparently wine-making is an expensive business. 

We learned that biodynamic farming costs more than traditional farming, but is much better 
for the environment. It is a no-waste process, where everything is recycled.

The next day we went to the wedding reception for Ken's brother Dan and his wife Rebecca (who were married in Hawaii in February) on the Delta King River Boat in Sacramento. 

We had lots of fun visiting with everyone - even though it was only for a few hours. 

The Booth brothers (Dan, Ken & Rich)
