Event @ Roy's in Anaheim CA

 August 31st a beautiful summer night in Anaheim California Steve and I along with Kim and Leif attended a dinner event at "Roy's" restaurant.

We spent an evening with Roy Yamaguchi and two guest chefs Jackie Nabong and Michael Rossi

 for a truly unique 5 course dinner paired with KAENA Wines. 

  benefitting Childern's Hospital of Orange County

CHOC Childern's

Mike and Sally live in Santa Ynez where Mike has been a wine maker for several years now.  Kim and Leif decided to grow grapes and they chose "Grenache" because Mike is the King of the valley specializing in Grenache wine. His wines are phenomenal !!!

We sipped on Grenache Blanc, with our 1st course "Smoked Bay Scallop Ceviche" and Grenache Rose with our 2nd course of "Hiramasa Tataki and Strawberry Salad".  3rd course was "Northern Australia Barramundi" paired with Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvedre.  4th course "Olive Oil Poached Small Eye Shutome" paired with one of my favorites of Mikes wines "Look me in the eye" (cool label on the bottle) a Grenache, Syrah.  Dessert..Peach Chamomille Mousse Torte (unbelievable)

It was a Yummy Fun Night 

Great Food, Great Friends, Great Wine all for a Great Cause!!!

My sweet buddy, Kimmy

Tallulah takes a fall

Last night Tallulah took a nasty fall.. This just might be the worst one yet! Sean and Molly took her to the hospital because she was throwing up and therefore must have suffered a concussion.  After several hours of observation they were able to take her home.  Molly said she seems totally herself and fine this morning.
Tallulah is one tough cookie.

My special little dancer
I know I'm a very proud Nani but this dance was by far the cutiest thing ever!!!!
Reagan is such a perfectionist and it sure showed in her performances.
The other girls were encouraged to watch Reagan if they happen to forget the routine.
That's my girl!!!!





Aunt Molly and Emmy came to graduation, Tallulah was in school that day so she couldn't attend.





Reagan had her friend Kate came to see her performance.
