A beautiful day on the lake!

It was just a beautiful day on the lake today. We have been blessed the last two days with having our son's very good friend, Joseph, over. And the blessings with beautiful weather allowed us to throw on the spring suits and head out to the lake.

Yes, the water was a little cold, but just beautiful! Kimmy, if this doesn't get you here, I don't know what will! lol

This is me snuggling up to the Captain....isn't he a cute guy!!


Joshua stood up on the knee board and tried to pull a 360....he did rotate a few times but didn't come back with the rope! lol Joseph was such an encourager!

Joseph and Joshua.....they had a blast!





Joshua landed this 360.




The cute Captain and his crew. Would you just look at that sky the Lord made for us today! He is so good!



My beloved and me. Again, the Lord is so good.





This is before we left for the lake.....the boys are both Charger fans. I'm so not understanding how my son got wired incorrectly. lol However, we got Joseph this Charger jersey for Christmas and they were outside throwing the football...wearing their jerseys...and talking a whole lot of 'smack' about next weeks game. You see, next week the Chargers play my Colts.








Hey Ang, I had to deal with this all day! I would have been so happy if I could have taken pictures of them in Colts jerseys like you do your Things. lol On a more sincere note, my father's team is also the Colts and Joshua has arranged to take next Sunday off of work and go to spend the day with my father and watch the game with him. He is also buying him a Colts jersey because my Dad does not have one.
I am happy for my son's relationship with my Dad. It warms my heart.





I pray you have had a blessed day in the Lord knowing He is good. Hugs to you!!

Oh my goodness, where are you that you can waterski in December! LOL! That looks like a blast! Thoroughly enjoyed the photos!

Hey Debra, I'm so glad you didn't delete your comment on my blog. Sometimes I want to delete what I write so it helps to hear that someone else is in a similar place. God wants us to be REAL with each other, and I think it's because we all need it.

Love ya girl! Rich blessings to you as you bring in the New Year!

Debra! What a BLAST to be on the lake this time of year!! Where are you??? We live off of Lake Hartwell and have had decent enough weather to go out on occasion but I would never be brave enough to get in! Brrrr. :) Looks like the guys had a great time! My Things love to wakeboard...if your son doesn't mind hanging out with an 11 and 9 year old I think they would sure have a great time together!! hehe

OK, our Colts are SO GONNA kick some Charger TAIL! I'm feelin' it...deep in my bones!

Love this post. Have a blessed day, sweet friend!

Debra,

So glad that you are back and that you brought such beautiful weather pictures with you. The water does not look cold at all. The boys are just adorable and you and your husband have to be the two cutest people ever.
Love,
Mimi

That sky is really beautiful! It looks like you all had a wonderful time enjoying each other and God's creation.

I like your repetition of God is Good. During a particularly tough time in my life a few years ago, I used that phrase to hang on tight to my belief and faith in God. It was kind of a mantra for me. He is so very, very good and clinging to that fact in the midst of difficulty kept me strong. He is good all the time!!

#1 WOW! The sky is truly amazing - that photo could be a magazine cover. Very cool! Only God!

#2 Love the relationship between Joshua and your Dad - very touching and I pray our children all have that as the grow older with our parents too!

#3 You and Jason are such a precious couple and your joy is sparkling through your words and photos!

#4 May the Lord keep you and bless you this year!

I'm a little jealous of the boating fun - I sure do miss waterskiing!

I love you Debra!

Daphine said...

Was this trip during the summer? lol! Where do you live again? It is still December, right? lol
Not too many of us get to go to the lake and have this much fun in the winter.

Looks like you guys had an AWESEOME time! Great pictures, Debra! You and hubby are a beautiful couple!

Happy New Year friend!

How fun that you can go out on a boat and enjoy time with your family here at the end of December!

That looks like a fun day. The last time I was waterskiing we ended up in the ER with a water ski in my hubby forehead! (that was when we were dating and I still married him/!) :o) Have a great new years!

I loved spending time looking at these pictures and reading about them all. I'm so glad you had a great time at the lake! May you and your family have a wonderful New Year! Love ya, girl! Laurie Ann

April said...

Wow, a day on the lake in December...how fun is that??? Looks like everybody was having the time of their lives...love the pictures! Did you get out on the water and ski? You and your hubby are too cute!

Have a Happy New Year, my friend!

Staci Loalbo said...

you guys are a beautiful family!!! Great pics!!

Jenn said...

Oh Debra, this makes me miss our friends back home in Western NC...and all of the 4th of July weeks our families we would spend on the lake together!

Also, miss our FL family...we lived on a lake in FL when I was younger...and we were in boats every day as children and teens...miss those fun water days! :)

Edie, I needed that confirmation on being real. Personally speaking, Sometimes my being real isn't so pretty (like a recent rant on my blog), but necessary because God sees everything already! :) That was I guess yrs of things building, and recent mistreatment from friends. In 2009, I was to learn a better way of sorting through my feelings!

Blessings Debra, you are such an encouragement! If you or anyone has any words of wisdom/encouragement on dealing with hurtful people...I'm talking about those who act like they are nice, but then in underhanded ways are degrading and hurtful, email me at jennifer.creates@gmail.com.

More Than Words said...

Oh my gosh..how fun!!!!!! And this is in December??????

My goodness!!!! I'm glad you guys had a good time..it totally looks like it! Great pictures!!!

Sheryl said...

Debbie Petras said...

How fun to see the photos of you guys at the lake. Gosh, I used to love to waterski but it's been so long now since I've done that. Looks like you had a ball. That's so sweet that your son and dad share sports together. You and your honey look so cute!

Mikki said...

It was a beautiful day today! What a joy you got to spend it on the lake. Love all the fun pictures!
