Memorial Day 2009...

France, Deirdre and I went to join Carl, Jenny and Emily in Elk Grove for a picnic at a really neat park near their house. France was thrilled to have Dan join us there, too...It's rare to have him around since he is trucking now... France and Carl played ball with Deirdre and Emily...

The girls played on the neat playground equipment...

and then they had a blast in the mini waterpark...

I think we will be going back to this park during the warmer time this summer!

Pool time again...

After fixing 'many' small leaks the pool is up and running for the 2009 summer!
Even Roddy and Bella are excited...

Roddy's 3rd Birthday...

Here's me and Roddy working with the new trainer...Roddy is still in school!

Yep, my Roddy the 3rd turned 3 years old on May 19th...isn't he awesome?!!! Here's Deirdre giving him his birthday ball...and of course Bella can't wait to share it, too!

As you can see Roddy and Bella put that new ball through the tooth test...it didn't take but a few minutes for the teeth to puncture right through that tough rubber.
