Happy Birthday, Amee!!!


Zebra- inspired cupcakes. Yum!

Happy Birthday, Amee!!!!

Right before their month long trip to Africa, we invited Ampee & Amee to a surprise African Safari themed picnic lunch at the park to celebrate Amee's upcoming birthday. We made all the food resembling African animals and had fun "eating" them and also playing games. Right below is the proverbial lion

Breakfast with Aunt Carol and touring of Yountville


We had a really good time with Jer's Aunt Carol in St. Helena on Sunday morning. Afterwards we spent a little time in Yountville (us foodies wanted to explore the town with the greatest concentration of Michelin stars in the States) and then continued our trip home.

Sal and Sarah's Italian Wedding in Angwin, CA

We're back at PUC this month for Sal & Sarah's wedding! We went out for a long afternoon walk and had really interesting weather. In our two hour trek through PUC's "back 40" we got rained, HAILED and sun shined on. Crazy and super fun too!
Sal & Sarah tied the knot at the PUC Church. We had a fantastic time at their ceremony and reception and pray for God's continued blessing on their union.

Amazing time with friends

We had an incredibly GREAT time with the Sanchez & Buit families the following day. Celebrated the beginning of Sabbath together with good food, and spectacular company.

Spanish-speaking get together at home and bathtime

Every Thursday, Bibi's Mom's Group get together at different homes. This time it was our home and we had a good time outside, eating haystacks, talking and letting the kids play on.
Bri & Kiara love bathtime together
