Annual Memorial Day Bike Ride 2010

Ready...Set...Go!  Here we are again in the parking lot of the Rio Linda Community Center.  This is where we begin our 23 mile bike ride into Discovery Park and on to Old Sacramento.
Here's Aaron...being a show off!

...and here's the rest of us!

Stopping along the way for a quick snack.

When my brother David saw this picture (below) he asked if we were sitting at the "Special Table" since we were all wearing our helmets, "Of course" I said, "we are all special!"

Inside our favorite shop in Old Sac...the Candy Store.  The store worker asked if we wanted to try a Texas Size Hot Tamale.  I LOVE Hot Tamales, so I said yes...and my eyes began to water immediately, Aaron and Kim, too!
After we are done here, we head back into Rio Linda for the best pizza and breadsticks in the world at Papa's Pizzeria!

Happy Mother's Day

My mom has become a big fan of Square Foot gardening. My dad built her a box and she always has something yummy growing in it. Kind of ironic since my parents have an acre of land to garden on! So...for mother's day I made her a dirt cake (ice cream cake with oreo cookie). The veggies on top were all completely edible...made from candies. Just ask her grandkids.

Westley samples the carrot...

...and Tucker eats the peas! We had to be really nice to Mom this day...last night she totalled her car. Well actually, a girl talking on her cell phone while driving, missed her red light, went into the intersection and ran into my mom. She went to the hospital via ambulance and ended up with six stitches in her lip. Happy Mother's Day!
