What is new with the Ballards

Well we have some good news if you haven't already heard. We are going to have a new little Ballard sometime in late November. We are so excited and thank our Heavenly Father everyday for our many blessings. These are some new pics that show what we have been up to lately. Sam made me breakfast in bed for Mother's Day...It was so good but I am not a big eater in the mornings so he sat in bed with me and helped me eat it! It was a great day. There are some pics of some deer that stayed in our yard for almost the whole day eating my rose bushes and apple trees. We also went camping over Memorial weekend. It rained on us a lot but was still a lot of fun... instead of sitting around the camp fire we all sat around the tent stove to make smores...hahaha! My batteries in our camera went dead though so I don't have many pics of the trip. We camped on the Smith Creek Ranch...it was beautiful there. Sam got a new little puppy. It is a golden retriever. We don't have a name for it yet so if you have any ideas let us know. We also just got done laying a ton of sod. Our yard is looking awesome. I am going to put in some flowers, rock, and bushes so when I am done I will put some pics of it all on the blog. We hope all is going well with everyone we love....Love the Ballards
