Thanks family, we love you all!

Crosby Family Reunion- part 2- Eagar

Once home in Eagar the fun began again. These 2, Rivers & Blake are only 3 weeks apart and had great fun together, eating, getting into the cupboards, going up and down the stairs, and playing with toys. It got pretty wild with 8 grandkids, what will it be like when I get lots more?

The kids played the new game Puerto Rico all day, with a different winner each time!
And they played the game all night!
The rest of us played 5 Crowns or Monopoly Deal, easy fast games!
They could only play games because Uncle Chad was entertaining all the kids! Legos was their favorite!
Monday was the 4th of July Parade and this was the best ever float. Betsy Ross actually stood up and then sat back down. Pretty cool!

Crosby Family Reunion- part 1 Roosevelt Lake

We spent the first part of our family reunion at Roosevelt Lake. Mark, Holly and kids were the first to arrive on Wed. June 29th. They had been in Mesa for a few days visiting with everyone there and staying with Lisa & Barry. Soon after they unloaded, we all headed to the lake.
The kids loved riding on this big tube, even little Zallen!
The higher he bounced, the more he laughed!
Cute little Milea wearing the same life jacket that Tami used to wear--my how time flies!
Zallen is small, but mighty! He loved the water!
Mark & Holly's family!
LaVerl, the boat driver! He always has fun pulling the kids on the tube and giving them a thrill!
Bolden was a little angel baby the whole time!
The whole family tubed for hours, except Bolden of course.

We stayed out on the lake until the sun went down.
On Thursday, Barry and Reed arrived. Reed had driven from Utah on Tues and spent a couple of days visiting with Nanna & Pomp and everyone there. Barry was putting together a new sound system for his boat. We were hoping for everyone to arrive, put we soon learned that Kari & Kirk had missed their flight. (bummer!) So instead of arriving in Phoenix at 9:15am they got there at 11:30pm. Lisa stayed to go pick them up and they didn't come until Friday morning. Tami and Ryne arrived after 8:oopm and decided that the guys all needed to go night fishing!
Mark is so buff! The anchor was really stuck and when he finally got it up, a tree came with it!
I think they had more fun than they had luck catching fish!

Tami and Blake-- "Hi Gma!"
The kids were lucky they could cool off in the little pool, it was HOT!
Zallen, so cute! "Where did all my cousins go?"
As soon as Lisa, Kari & Kirk arrived Friday morning, we headed out to the lake! It was like glass, it was amazing. The night before it was really rough, with lots of white caps, so this was a wonderful surprise!
Here's Kari, I'm not sure where cute little Rivers is!
Zallen finding a few chips to eat. We didn't bring lunch with us, so Tami & I decided to go get it instead of taking the time to get off the lake. She had planned sub sandwiches and had bought all the stuff, so Bret ran us in on the wave runner, we loaded up fast and came back with lunch. Some of the others wanted the really good ribs at the LakeHouse Grill.
Bret relaxing and getting a little sun. I was surprised no one got really sun burned!
While we had all the little kids with us on the deck boat, Barry had those that wanted to ski, wake board and surf on his really nice boat.
Mark relaxing!
Barry 'surfing' after having major knee surgery last week! His whole leg was black & blue and swollen!
Reed having a great time!
Even Lisa is pretty good at 'surfing'!
The 'surfer dudes'! Reed, Mark, Barry & Kirk!
