FINALLY

Finally, need I say more?

Happy 19th Birthday A'leese

Adam made A'leese a Dr. Who doll, it was a very cool gift. She loved it!!!!!

Natalie, Adam, Johnny, Janna, Joe, A'leese, and Katie celebrate A'leese's birthday. Most of these kids went to Lagoon to party for A'leese's bday.
Saying good bye to Katie....wish she didn't have to work. A'leese doesn't do cake so we had happy birthday sherbet. I can't believe she is 19 already.

Ashley and Jeff''s Wedding

Natalie, Dawnell, and K'Lee walk the temple grounds.
Ashley and Jeff are tired of taking pictures... this is one of my favorites.

They make such an awesome couple.

BEADS AND BRAIDS

Every summer we do beads and braids..... It has become a tradition. I enjoy doing it for them cause I get a one on one with each one of them as they sit and let me braid. It's funny the things we will do for our kids.

YEAH ITS SUMMER

Yeah it's time to love summer....the FUN.
The sunshine and water...
and the people who make it all absolutely a memory. Thank you Chris, we love you!!!!!!

We had a "BALL" at the Reunion

First thing we did when we got to Pocetello was check out the room... Cierra is attacking K'Lee.
Natalie is attacking A'leese... and well it just gets better from here...

Oh yeah, John and I and four very happy girls.

Happy and well need I say more?

Here is Cierra and Natalie playing the game "HA" at the Ball Family reunion.

K'Lee being a beach princess thanks to a fun activity Marcia had for us.

Grandpa watching the girls play "HA".

Grandma learning the artful skills of this very interesting game.

Now Jean is getting involved, how cool is that? This is definitely a game for all ages.

Landon showed us how to play his hands and well Jorre love the opportunity to listen, can you tell?

A'leese and her "gingers" she fell in love with Acelynn.

We skipped stones and John did okay, of course I got a bazillion so there was really no contest.

A'leese got instruction on how to play the guitar by our own ball reunion musicians....

Zak and Terry could really put it down.... and Chris singing was more than entertaining.

Here we are all creating jewelry.

It was a neat activity.

A'leese showing off her necklace.

Emily and I were also creating masterpieces of our own.

Natalie really got into the idea of creating.

But Grandma well she just stole the show with her authentic Native American stance.

A'LEESE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!

A'leese has finally done it! She is the first of my four children to graduate high school.
The ceremony was typical. 363 young people sat and listened to the final words of their high school career. The only thing different about this night is my A'leese sat in the middle of it all.

Crystal, Sam, and A'leese after the formalities were over. Way to go class of 2010 we are very, very proud of you!
