We even got the Grandpa in the water....took lots of strong arms to get him in and out but the guys were awesome! yah
Good time was had by all......nothing is better than family and the lake! thank you family for a great weekend!
Okay so we had a nice family day out on the lake....we took the party boat and the ski boat (for the tough ones) it was a perfect day lots of nice water....good swimming and lots of fun with the little ones...Randy & Carrie and kids....Brian...Melissa & Stephen and Catherine....and our special guest Cassandra & little Carlisle.....what fun to finally met our little Great Grandson...and WOW Kathy had the day off and could join us Yeah!...also had Kathy & Melissa's friend Julie and daughter GiGi....great day!
Swimming was wonderful the water is just the right temperature really refreshing!
While cruising around all the little ones took their nap....couldn't believe we had four all go down at once! Andrew, Carlisle, Cambria, Catherine.....sleep sweet babies while we have a quite rest lol
So here is our laughing Carlisle.....what a fun little guy he is....just smiles all the time...so loved holding him!
So fun to have Cassandra spend a few days with us....come again !
Last our darling little Cambria she didn't pick up on the Carlisle thing you know smile all the time....we don't see her too much now so she was a little unhappy.....we love her anyway!
Okay so here is the story......I come from a long line of rose lovers.....I grew up always having fresh roses in this vase which is in the picture....now this is not just any vase...it is Dutch Delft which is hand painted pottery....this vase is probably one hundred years old...my mother brought it from Holland and always had fresh picked roses which my dad grew....so now I have the vase and yes even in the desert I have been able to grow some mighty fine flowers...this is the best year I have had .....I got a little teary when I arranged the roses in this special vase it took me back to very fond memories...so children remember how precious memories are of our loved ones...so share this moment with me and maybe someday one of you will fill this vase with special roses! thank you God for the beauties of the earth!
Okay so I am a little late but wanted to make sure you all get to see our newest addition of beautiful Great Grandchildren....so on the 10th of April we all traveled to Kingman and attended the blessing of our beautiful little Cambria Kay Barker.....
She is so sweet even Great Grandpa couldn't resist he asked to hold her so fun!
A great day was had by all ...Welcome sweet Cambria....we love you....It is such a blessing to be able to hold and love on these precious sweet children that are sent to us from our Heavenly Father! Families are Forever!
Here is the might Colorado River....it looks real peaceful and calm....
New here is one of the rafts then Indians use on their river trips ....they would take them all the way to the lake and pull then out at our boat launch at South Cove....And here is the new launch the Indians had made so they could pull out there rafts here instead of the lake....now the reason they made this new launch is because in one little spot the river became too mighty and they had lots of trouble getting past the rapids that developed because the water level became to low.
So Melissa & Stephen and company took a hike up the river to see the rapids that was causing all this trouble and wow we could see why...awesome!
I would not want to be on the raft going through this....the top right was not quite so rough but still pretty scarey!
The left side was the worst...if you look right in front of the white water you can see the big whirlpool ...you would really have to row hard to miss it....the water was fierce!
Lots of big boulders.... the water made so much noise we could hear long before we got there....it was a wonderful hike and a wonderful witness of nature.....wonderful day ....wonderful hike.....thank you God for the beauties of the earth!
