Caleb and Dad's first snow hike

Caleb and I went on our first snow hike up Logan Canyon. Caleb was going with his Boy Scout troop, and I tagged along. The trail was about 12" wide and as you can see from the picture, the snow was pretty deep on the sides.

Okay, Top 7 That Cindy Doesn't Already Know

The title should say it all.

#1 A couple times I had dreams where I kissed another girl, and I wake up freaking out and saying does this mean I am a little bit gay. Have to share the deep stuff to impress Cindy Barth, otherwise no one would ever know this. PS. Does this happen to anyone else?? Please say yes.

#2 My first kiss was between me, a boy named Brian, and a Jolly Rancher, which he passed to me, and I was totally grossed out. And I had to kiss him because I liked him and he broke up with me the first time because I wouldn't kiss him. But he dumped me again a couple days after that kiss anyway.

#3 I got caught forging a note to get out of school early, and my mom asked me about it at dinner during which I couldn't utter a single word. I just sat there staring at my mom with my mouth open.

#4 I like to write and have a few kids books and poems I would love to get published, but don't ask to see them because unless they are good enough to publish, nobody is going to see them.

#5 I have probably spit drinks out my mouth and some out my nose more than anyone I know from all the hilarious dinners we had when we were living at home as kids.

#6 I have a secret desire to be on Wheel of Fortune because I know for a fact that I would win.

#7 When I was a young single girl, I used to look at license plates to see what my last name would be when I got married. My initials before I ever got married were JLB for Jamie Lynn Barth and I would look at all the license plates because where I lived there was a number, then three letters, then three more numbers. I always looked for the JL and whatever was the third letter would be the initial of my last name when I got married. Pretty dumb, but I used to look for little signs in everything.


Enjoy a good laugh on me everyone.

The Top Seven According To Me...

#7 Saturday is a Special Day, it's the day I get ready to.....sleep in. Cindy thinks I am inactive because I have only been to church once this year. But to my defense, my kids have been sick and so have I. But if you all are willing to do services projects to reactivate me, I like BBW, any kind of dessert, a clean house, etc... OK, only kidding!


#6 I have been married three times. Yep, crazy I know, but you just can't trust people like you used to, right?! ps. my second wedding was in Reno @ the Chapel of the Bells. I should have known.


#5 I met Chris (#3) on ldssingles.com hehehe


#4 In my lifetime of 31 years, I have moved 22 times.


#3 My boobs are fake.


#2 I have a really great sense of humor, like how funny number three is.


#1 I wish I could have my braces back on. My teeth went back to crooked within the three weeks it took me to get my retainer.


Hopefully those are interesting enough, if not write back and I will redo. Or not.

Here is my first shot at this as well....Chris

So...Jamie was the first to post, so now i guess it is my turn. I posted a picture of Delany we took the other day. I was in my office and Jamie was in her room, and she IM'd me asking if Delaney was with me, and I said "no...I thought she was with you", and that picture is where we found her while watching My Little Pony.
I love being a dad...how great is it huh?

Ta-Da

This is my first blogging sentence ever. Ta-Da!! So welcome to our crazy world, where we try to stay sane, at the house of Balls.

I am Jamie, leader of the pack. At least I like to think so. Chris is on occasion my better half, and between the two of us we have our 3 kids, Caleb, Delaney, and Deacon. Caleb is 11 and is a very energetic almost teen! Delaney is our girly girl and loves to give hugs and kisses. She is almost three. Deacon happens to be the most handsome baby boy in the world. Don't be too jealous, we are all blessed in different ways.

So, I guess I am done for now. More to come!
