My Birthday

Birthday Time! To ring in my Birthday Zac cooked some delicious dinner on Friday night. He made me lemon peppered salmon with red potatoes and carrots, yum!

My actual Birthday started out with a home cooked breakfast, thanks hubby! We were able to relax all morning and I got to open presents sent from my family. After breakfast I got ready for the day, I had an 80 minute massage I had to get to!

When my massage was done Zac picked me up and we headed over to his parents house. I was able to get cleaned up and then it was off to dinner with the family. We headed over to Healdsburg to eat at Bistro Ralphs, the food was amazing!

Hudson at home

Oh Hudson! This little guy sure has a lot of energy. He just loves to play especially tug-o-war with his rope and then once he's done, he crashes. Zac and I have been starting on the training already. He wakes up about 2-4 times a night and every time we take him out to go potty. Last night he only woke up once!

He is 8 weeks old this weekend. We are thinking he is pretty big for his age but not surprising being that his dad was 110lb and his mom was 90lbs. In about a week we are taking him to get his 9 week shots. Once he has those we will be able to bring him around other dogs.

We have been working on taking him on walks but I think he was a little to young at first. He is getting better and better though. It has been pouring rain all yesterday and today so hopefully this week it lets up and we can take him out and about!

Hudson

What a trip! It began Saturday evening as soon as Zac got off from taking a class. We loaded up the car and headed up towards Washington! The drive was beautiful. We made it all the way up North with only a few sprinkles of rain and a little snow headed over Shasta. We weren't able to enjoy much of the view due to it being an all night drive.

We arrived in Washington at about 6:00a.m. Easter Sunday! We were a bit early to pick up the puppy so we decided to take an hour nap and then we headed over to Dennys for some breakfast. On our way over we also stopped at a beautiful little park, it was SO cold out!

Finally, around 8:45 we arrived at the Wokini Ranch to pick up our little guy! It was SO windy while we were there. First thing the breeder took us to see our puppy then invited us inside to get all our paperwork squared away. It didn't take long before we were back on the road!

Zac and I were worried about a 14 hour drive with a puppy but suprisingly it went wonderful! He slept the whole drive! He woke up once howling and we pulled over to let him out. As we got closer to home, about 30 minutes away he started to get ancy but over all he did such a great job!

We did hit some snow on the way home that slowedus down a bit but it was so beauitful I couldn't help but take tons of pictures! Thankfully Hudson didnt need to use the bathroom during that time on our trip :)

Weekend with friends

What a busy weekend! Friday night Zac and I picked up Janelle and Dylan from the airport and headed back home. Saturday we packed up some of Zac's guns and headed up to cow mountain for some shooting. It was a beautiful day to spend out side!

After spending a couple hours up on the mountain we headed back to Calistoga to get ready for dinner. We decided to hop on the crusier bikes and ride over to Solage to have dinner at the Sol Bar. It was so much fun being able to enjoy good food and good friends!

Our plan for Sunday was to do some wine tasting. After we enjoyed some delicious chocolate chip pancakes we got ready for our day and headed over to Sterling Winery. The weather was perfect for our day! After our tasting we decided to head into St. Helena for some delicious food at Travigne, so yummy. Next Zac and I decided to take Janelle and Dylan by the Castle. We didn't stay long because we needed to head home to pack up and take off to San Francisco!

Once we arrived in San Francisco we stopped to take some pictures in front of the bridge then later that night it was off to Ghirardelli for some hot coco, then we ended the night with a nice little walk by the water. The next morning we walked to breakfast and then decided to head over to Coit Tower. After seeing the sights of the city Zac and I decided it was time to head home. It was a wonderful weekend!

Up Coming Events

Another beautiful day in the Napa Valley! Zac and I have been so happy in our new place, it has worked out perfect for us.

In a couple weeks we get to pick up our new puppy! We are so excited. Zac has been working on a dog run for the little guy. We are hoping the nights won't be to bad! We are lucky to have a large field behind our house that we plan to take advantage of with our new pup.

This next weekend our friends Janelle and Dylan are coming up to visit us! We are so excited to be able to spend some time with them. I'll be sure to post pictures on shutterfly :)

Wicked with the in laws

Great start to the weekend! Cindy invited Zac and I to go see Wicked in San Francisco. The play started at 2:00 at the Orpheum Theatre, it was such a good show! Afterwards we all went out to eat at Fior d' Italia, delicious!

Our baby boy

We would like to introduce you to our newest member of the family! He was born on Valentines day and we pick him up on Easter. He is an Alaskan malamute, we can't wait to go get him!
