Shoshone Falls

We had a pretty wet winter and Spring...LOTS of RAIN and when that happens

The Shoshone Falls go from looking like this to...

THIS...

It is such a Rush and an amazing place to see.

 Kira, Sergio and Miss H, went too.

I think it has been about 2 years since I was at the falls,

and the first time for Sergio and Miss H.

We had fun  feeding this rock chuck.

 Soon he figured out Sergio was the one with the "goodies" and he would stay pretty close to him...

The little ones stayed in the rocks but also got "showered" with trail mix.

It was great!

We  found a different view of the The I. B. Perrine Bridge in  Twin Falls.

 It is a truss arch  four-lane bridge. It  is approximately 1,500 feet long and 486 feet  above the Snake River.

 During the summer months you will see BASE jumpers on it.

Now I know were to go watch so I have a  better view.

Osama

I wasn't going to do a post about Osama Bin Laden,

but his death on May 1, 2011 is a part of American history and my history.

I didn't know what I wanted to say, then Kira gave her two cents worth on her blog and I thought...

wow that was perfect!

Read Kira's thoughts and PLEASE leave her a note and say hi.

My Aunt Bonnie has always been "into" family history...

I knew that we had some "royals" on our pedigree charts...

So, my question is...

If we have royalty down the line, why wasn't I invited to the "Wedding of the Century" so I could wear one of those cool hats??

Oh the choices....

Crazy and Regal

Did you have a favorite hat or one that you just  laughed at???

OH I DID...

Beautiful Babies and Easter Dresses

I had to show off my granddaughters Easter dresses...

Miss Celes is thinking she needs to try walking,  I just push her down when she tries  I can't believe it.

I played with this picture in Paint because I thought it was so cute.

Her "Nana" and Mommy made her Easter dress. Isn't it just cute!

Josh and Ali sent these pictures of their Easter day.

Here is Miss C "walking" between her daddy and momma

Miss Hazel is getting big also.

When Kira ordered her dress from MilnerCity 

I thought oh that will be way to big for her...

but Kira had a better idea of what size Miss H would wear than I do, because

 as you can see it fits perfect.

she even was "talking" while taking pictures.

and the Rivadeneira family Easter picture

Yep, I think my little grand babies look beautiful.
