Del Valle Park

The pictures below were taken on 7/27 at Del Valle Park. This is the park that is directly across from DJ's school. He absolutely loves the wading pool there (it is only 1 ft deep). His friend Aidan came and played, the boys have a great time together!

Knott's Soak City

Earlier this month we went to Knott's Soak City for Brody's 3rd birthday, too bad I didn't get any shots of the biys together. Dj loved the kid's pool and didn't want to go anywhere else in the park. He is definitely a water bug!

First Earthquake


So we survived the earthquake on Tuesday, luckily there was no damage. It was a pretty significant quake, 5.4 on the scale centered about 40 miles east of where we are located. I was working at home when it happened, the house swayed back and forth for about a minute or so. The feeling was like you were on a ship and going over very large waves. This was the first earthquake that I have felt since moving here in 1997. My mom happened to be visiting from MD so she got the experience the quake also. DJ was at school and Daryl was at work. Anyhow all is good here. You can click on the link to the right for more information on the quake. The pictures below have no relavance to the earthquake, just thought I would post them instead of just this description.
