I love this story.

Summertime




Ball Camping








Every year we, the Ball side of the family, try to gather and go on some camping trips. We have been spoiled by the matriarch of the family, my mother-in-law, because she knows how to cook amazing meals in the great outdoors. It is a fun tradition that I am trying not to be too prissy about due to the lack of cleanliness. (I am about a two day camper ...then I NEED TO SHOWER!!) I do love the memories though that have been created with cousins, grandparents and aunts and uncles. My boys love going and that is what keeps me going. You do anything for the kids right? Here are some pics from the most recent. We were lucky to have Aunt Carolyn from Missouri here. I have to pay tribute to her for the Aunt she is to my kids. We absolutely love having you around and deeply appreciate the time and attention you give to each of our kids.

Portland Trip











We had a great time in Portland with all the cousins. These are just a few of the highlights. I will have to write later because the boys are begging to play webkins and we only have the one computer. So, I will just say thanks to all who participated and made this a trip to remember.
