Happy Birthday, VEL!

Rubye Jean Creek has a birthday today...April 10th.
You are beautiful, Rubye. You have been through an incredible amount of life. You mean the world to me.

Visits!

Such a wonderful, wonderful weekend!

Look who came to visit!

She is 16 months old now, and quite the girlie! There's a lot going on behind those baby blues!
Her new Easter hat didn't stay on long, but her pretty new dress did! Look how cute her little necklace is!
Here is a beautiful 4 generation picture. Just look at those smiles! I'm so thankful that my mom got to meet Teyla and so glad I got to see her, today! I saw her get out of the car and as she walked, tears filled my eyes. She is so beautiful.

Here is our family together...my mom, Lillian Creek, (Great gramma, 80), Rose (Teyla's gramma), myself (gramma E) Michelle (Teyla's birthmom) , Araka (Teyla's adopted mom). Priceless.



She loved the cat. She loved the dog. She loved jumping on the bed. And she loved the piano. That 'a girl! Her personality is so grand! She is so loved, so well taken care of, in such a wonderful place. Thank you Jeff and Araka for sharing her life with us!

Our new raft.

Scott modified this trailor by building the platform. There is a crank lever to reel it up on the side for storage underneath. Still needs to finish the walls around it but....WE GOT THE BOAT! River rafts are awesome. The ice box is my seat, the dry box is his seat. We will get on the Missouri this summer for 5 days (or more) at a time. How nice is that?
