CINCO de MAYO 2007 Progressive Party

We had a progressive Cinco de Mayo party this year with some of our closest friends. We started out at Wellsm's with appetizers and DRINKS, then moved to our house (Harpet's) for main course and DRINKS, and finally ended at Warbuj's for dessert and DRINKS. It was a total blast and I was designated driver so we all got home safe.

Tim and I posing for a rare pic together. I am usually on the other end of the camera.

The gang at our house gathered around the breakfast bar to watch the master bartendar, Tim, at work. Oh, and Wellsm's are showing off the humongous bottle of GREY GOOSE that Tim bought for just this occasion. We have their approval!!

Opening the bottle with finesse...
"You have to measure juuuuussssttttt the right amount" says master bartender, Tim.
"You must also not use CHEAP vodka....it ruins the drink and gives you bad hang overs." NOTE: he would know!!!
CHEERS!!! The gang eating and drinking and having a GREAT time.

MAY 12TH, WINE TASTING WEEKEND (oh and no kid weekend!)

Chandler Winery is just off I-182 and its beautiful! They are still working on the landscaping outside but it is still very impressive. If you look in the window on the left, you might be able to see Tim's relection along with our friend.
This was taken inside the Chandler Winery and Tim and Matt were eye balling the advertised wine behind them.

Here is a pic of some of the gang. L-R: James, Cindi, Bill, and Matt.

This winery had really good wine and this mustard that they made with their wine and it was really good with pretzels.

This is the Desert Wind winery in Prosser. It was close to the end of our wine tasting. It was huge and had a restaurant inside. They were offering cooking lessons so we got information for Mykal but as it turned out, he wasn't able to attend any of the classess due to a broken hand.

The kids going to Grandma's house for the weekend. This was our very first weekend without kids since TJ has been born. The date was May 11th, 2007 and Grandma Razo took them until Sunday. Tim and I had trouble adjusting at first...but then we got used to it and used the weekend to our advantage!!!

After feeding the ducks we went to the park and TJ posed for me. I dont' know who the woman behind him is but I wish she would have ducked or something.
