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!

Mothers Day 2010

The best part of mothers day is always seeing my mom. She is such an ispiration to me. I LOVE YOU MOM, you are the best...... and Watching my kids get along! I love being a mom to these guys!!!! They are my everything.

ANOTHER PERRY ADVENTURE

From the very beginning of our adventure to .........
the very end.... it was a GREAT DAY!!!!!!

We started at the Salt Lake City Library This is a picture riding the elevator. It had mirrors on the ceiling, how cool is that?

We reflected on the tragedy of the people in the Holocaust. We did so through the eyes of a young girl named Anne Frank.

As we read from the pages of her diary it was difficult to hold back the tears! She was such an strong girl. The exhibit was set up so we could read the time line of the events the German party was involved in at the same time of her life and her thoughts.

Next it was off to the Hansen Planetarium to see the Hubble in 3D. My girls look so super stunning in their eye wear, don't they?

I am so in love with the man behind those glasses. It was neat to see the finished product of all the work that so many men and women (I know) do. I am proud of you guys. The Hubble is an amazing invention and so is the way it gets into space....The images that come from the Hubble are incredible!!!! I had never seen space like that.

That's right Johnny and I had a pair of our own. What a view! We actually saw back in time before the earth was even created!?

K'Lee decided to give us a news report....she did quite well I have to say.

Teasing doesn't stop on Mars.... Heck it doesn't stop any where or any time.

See I have proven my point, or I should say they have proven my point!

Now we are running in slow space-like motion across the surface of moon.

We jumped for joy as we landed on the moon.
We enjoyed the beautiful flowers at temple square.
Reflecting on a lot of things and nothing.
We just flat enjoyed ourselves.

We ate at the Lion House and yes Vonda's rolls are better.

Like mother like daughter?

A'leese

Me and my kids.

This is one of my favorite pics of the day... they took off around the reflective pond and they did it in order of age.... cool huh?

I am glad these two love each other as much as they do. They are such good friends.

This was at the Brigham Young park. Beautiful huh? A'leese took this picture right before she realized she had lost her phone. After some praying and a few tears we found it! Thank heavens for prayer.
