Signs of Spring

This is what Spring looks like at the Ball home.

Easter Weekend

Easter weekend was beautiful. We had a wonderful time enjoying the weather and celebrating Easter.


The Easter bunny comes to our home on Friday night, so the girls loved eating loads of candy, watching Frozen, and flying kites on Saturday.

The girls also had a fun time decorating Easter eggs! (And PS why have I never thought of the idea of drying in the eggs in a muffin tin? I saw it on a friend's picture. What a great idea!)

We made our bunny cake!

And we put our garden plots together. (Okay, that was mostly Kevin.)

Brynnlee lost her first tooth.  (Ummm why can't I stop her from growing up so fast?)

Brynnlee and Pressley looked adorable in the Easter dresses with pretty new necklaces.

Most of all we celebrated our Savior and all that He has done for us. During sacrament meeting, Pressley whispered to me, "Mom, I am thinking about Jesus." It made my heart swell. We work on thinking about Jesus more everyday.  He lives and because of Him we have everything.

Sledding with Friends

What better way to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. day than sledding with friends?  We went out with our friends the Hoggards and had loads of fun.

Happy New Year

Who doesn't love a fun New Year's Eve party? Our party started early and ran late. Okay it ended when the girls went to bed at 8:00. But it did start early at 3:00 pm. I wanted the girls to have fun, so I filled a bunch of balloons with activities, and on the hour, we popped them to see what fun we would have. We watched a movie, painted our toenails, played a board game, and of course counted down the New Year....at 7:00.  Outside we blew our New Year's horns and waved our sparklers to celebrate the New Year.

There is Beauty All Around

One day I saw a friend's picture post on Facebook. It was a picture of sunflowers. She mentioned that there was a field of them close to where we lived. I grabbed the girls to take a look. What we saw was breathtaking. None of these pictures capture the beauty of the sunflowers, and I don't have the words to express how blessed I felt.  .
