Caleb's Symhony Night

Caleb had his first real symphony at Logan High School. For those who do not know or remember, he plays the full size bass. He is pretty good too. This is his first year playing and already plays the 2nd year stuff.

You can download a video of his Pirates of the Caribbean orchestra piece all of the students played together here: http://www.balltelecom.com/Caleb.htm

The file is very large (100MB) but we are having it reduced soon.

One Last Birthday Post

I had to do this last post to show what an amazing friend we have. Shelly put this cake together at the last minute for Delaneys birthday party and it is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much Shelly!!

Awesome, huh?!!

Laneys Royal Ball

This is Delaneys birthday party, which was a royal ball with a sit down dinner and dancing, sort of.

Our friend Shelly gave us this awesome idea to make a ballroom floor with 12x12 cardstock. It turned out so cute.

A royal feast of pizza, strawberries, and sparkling cider. Ooh la la.

Here is Delaney with her Prince Charming.

All of the Royal Guests, with the royal goody bags.

Opening the gifts on Prince Charmings lap. Thanks everyone for making this a great birthday.

Three and Naked

This is Delaneys 3rd Birthday, and she decided that she needed to celebrate naked, obviously in honor of her original birthday suit.

This is one of her guys, or her twin, as we hear constantly from strangers, Maelee.

Hello and pose.

This is her other guy, Lannah.

She is my sweet, amazing, loving, smart, happy girl. I sure love her. This has been the best three years of my life.

Oh no, not yet!!!

So, tonight as I was sitting at my desk, I hear my darling daughter walk into the bathroom and say "Daddy, can I see your peepee? Please?"

Tell me that she isn't interested in boys anatomy yet. Oy!

On another note however, I am adding some cute pics I took of my girl at the Disney Princess on Ice show.

The Tag is in The Bag, CB.

#1 What's His Name?

Christopher Alan Ball, or Chris, Hey, and CHRISSSS!

#2 How Long Have You Been Married?

A lifetime, which is 5 years in April

#3 How Long Did You Date?

Well, Chris and Caleb and I dated for about 4 months before we got engaged.

#4 How Old Is He?

Maturity wise, he is 16. Looks wise, he is 32. Age wise, 37, which means he is almost 40 freakin' years old!

#5 Who Eats More?

Um, obviously he does. How do you think he keeps his shapely(round) figure?!

#6 Who Said "I Love You" First?

I honestly do not remember. Guys aren't the only ones who forget stuff.

#7 Who Is Smarter?

Me. Then, myself. Then, I. And then, Chris.

#8 Whose Temper Is Worse ?

Chris.

#9 Who Does The Laundry?

We both do. Chris and I share the duty of starting and switching the loads, and then Chris folds his own laundry and I do the rest of the folding.

#10 Who Sleeps On The Right Side Of The Bed?

Looking at the bed, I am on the right, but in the bed Chris is. Funny thing, everyone in my original family sleeps on the right side if you are looking at the bed. All six of us, my mom and her spouse, my dad and his spouse, myself, both of my brothers, and my sister. Weird, huh?!

ps. On occasion Chris sleeps on the couch being that his snoring and popping are horrendous.

#11 Who Pays The Bills?

I pay our family bills, Chris does the business stuff. Either way, it is mighty depressing.

#12 Who Cooks Dinner?

Usually me. Otherwise we would all get scurvy.

#13 Who Drives When You Are In The Same Car?

Chris 70% ~~ Jamie 30%

#14 Who Is More Stubborn?

Me.

#15 Whose Parents Do You See The Most?

Well, between the four sets of parents, I think it is my mom and her husband. They visit the most.

#16 Who Proposed?

Chris did, at The Cheesecake Factory, on a cell phone. Who would have guessed?

#17 Who Has More Friends?

I would say we both have a bunch, although he has some from his childhood and I do not.

#18 Who Has More Siblings?

We both have 3 each.

#19 Who Wears The Pants In The Family?

Pretty much, that would be me.

The End.

Give Me A....

This is an adorable picture of Chris and Delaney together. Right before I took it Delaney said the cutest thing. She has been into saying cheerleading things for some reason. So she says "Give me a Y" and I said "Y" and she says "because!". I thought that it was hilarious.

Anywho, til next time.

5 things you didn't know about Chris

1. When I walk up stairs behind someone I have to walk on the same steps with the same foot as them, if I don't like them, then I walk opposite. If I start up the stairs on my own, and start with my left foot, I need to end on my right foot at the top/bottom. If I see that that would not be the case I may even skip a step to make sure I do.
2. I can pop all of my knuckles in my hands to any song you choose
3. I AM fat.....really.
4. I can't draw anything unless it is straight lines (cabinet drawings,houses etc...) I tried to draw Cindy once, and well, she didn't like it. I didn't dare draw Jamie.
5. I have used the same brand of shampoo since 1991 (Pert)

Look at what

Deacon ate

This was Deacons first brush with death by Rice cereal. In other words, I don't really think he liked it. If that is the case, uh-oh. He has been getting hungrier by the day, and if he doesn't like the solids, I am in trouble. He didn't cry or gag, but he wouldn't really open his mouth for more. We shall see what happens next...

The Most Amazing Smile

I cannot get over how absolutely wonderful my baby boy is. He has the sweetest smile and the best little personality. And his giggle is to die for. This picture is proof positive that he is beautiful!!
