PAPA TEX AND AARON

We spent the day at Wild Water Adventure with Aaron & Megan. What a wild time we had! Boy was it fun. I don't think I have been there since my son, Doug swam on the Marlin Swim team! We're a little beat today! Ha ha!

Two crazy boys at play!! These two are so much a like at times!  

BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS!

These are the beautiful flowers that Tex sent me for our anniversary. He loves to send flowers! What a great guy! We also went out to Olive Garden for dinner.

August, 9th - - - Our Anniversary!!

It is hard to believe that we have been married for 3 years! It has been the most wonderful 3 years of our lives. We have done so many fun things together. In these last 3 years we have each had a granddaughter. Nicole had Evie and Patricia had Naomi. Doug got married to Jill.
We have traveled to many places in California, taken 2 cruises, fixed up our home, spent time at the cabin and at our trailer at the coast.
Tex continues to work as Water Dept. Supervisor and I am working for Kirk Hoffman, Attorney at Law. We attend Community Christian Fellowship and love it there. We have met many wonderful believers there and love worshiping there. We have made many new friends and we love having them over for a BBQ! Tex fishes every chance he can. He custom built a trailer for his canoe. I love to cook and Tex loves to eat. I still scrapbook any chance I can.
We are in process of planning a trip to the Redwoods along the coast in September. But most of all we love spending time together. We truly feel we are the luckiest people in the world.

Tex with some of his girls!

Papa Tex again with some of his favorite people in the whole world.... Evie, Micah and Megan. Megan had just sang the National Anthem at the Visalia Oaks baseball game. And that is NOT me next to Tex!!

Carola's Kids! 

My most wonderful children at the cabin at Hume Lake. Naomi with daddy, Steve; Patricia, Jill, Susan and Doug. We have been so blessed to have this cabin. There are so many fond memories of the time spent at the cabin. And now it is continueing for another generation. I know Daddy is sitting in Heaven so happy that we still love to go there.  

SS PHARIS at Hume Lake

This is a picture of the famous 'SS Pharis' as our friends helped us bring it in last summer. Our friends are Maria & Miguel Cortinas and Edith & Ron Thiessen and of course Tex. Well sad to report that the SS Pharis has died. It lived a short life after being rescued from the dump. A fun 1 1/2 year of use. Our church youth were the last to use it on the church campout at Aspen Hollow in July! Burial services to be announced!

Tex in front of the famous 'Log Cabin' 

I stand in the 'Log Cabin' that was on the trail. Tex has spent many a night in this log along with his horse! This he did when he rounded up cattle many years ago. 

On our week at the cabin at Hume Lake, Tex took me down to Redwood Canyon to see the big trees. Truly amazing! This tree Tex is standing in is still alive. 

Is this too precious! 

NAOMI ROSE IS 9 months old!

My beautiful granddaughter, Naomi Rose is now 9 mths. old.
