YES I HAVE BEEN BUSY WITH WORK, PARTIES AND MY FAVORITE GIFTS-MY GRANDCHILDREN. MARGOT,CHARLEY GRANT ,GRACIE,FLOYDEE AND FLETCHER. I FLEW GRANT AND GRACIE IN FOR 4 DAYS FROM BOISE AND WE DID THE TOWN. WE WENT TO GINGERBREAD TOWN AND THE TEDDY HOME AT GRAND AMERICA DOWNTOWN. WE WENT TO THE PLANITARIUM AND SAW A 3-D MOVIE CALLED UNDER THE SEA. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE HAD A BLAST
Between
Yes, I finally got to go to New York and be a regular tourist and see all the sites. I did a double take when Paul told me where we were going for my birthday. I was so excited!
Karen and I drove out to Roosevelt, Utah and visited with our Aunt Ruth, and our cousins, Francine,Vickie and Laurie. It was soooo nice to see everyone again.
Paul and I went on a HUGE hike with Kevin and Jodie. We figure it was 6 miles and that was mostly up hill. Needless to say it was HOT, HARD and FUN!
Floydee now gets on both of his rocking horses and rocks away. I caught him standing up on the saddle. Kids are fearless.
Mary Andersen came to town. Mary and I were roommates in college and we didn't get to visit long enough!
MY DAUGHTERS TREATED MOM TO A FEW DAYS WITH THEM IN LAS VEGAS. IT WAS GREAT JUST TO SPEND TIME ALONE WITH THEM. THE HEAT WAS TOUGH TO DEAL WITH BUT THE COMPANY WAS FANTASTIC.
PAUL AND I FINISHED THE MS 150. OUR REAR ENDS WERE SOAR BUT OUR HEARTS WERE FULL, BETWEEN THE TWO OF US WE RAISED OVER $1,400 FOR MS.
YES, I DID IT AGAIN. WE RODE JUST UNDER 50 MILES AND AS USUAL IS WAS A BLAST--A LOT OF WORK--BUT A BLAST. LISA,CONNIE,MATT AND ME.
MARGOT HAS A NEW BABY BROTHER AS OF 8 AM THIS MORNING. HIS NAME IS NOT CHOSEN AS OF THIS MORNING BUT HE WILL COME HOME WITH A STRONG NAME IN A FEW DAYS!
GRANT IS GOING INTO JUNIOR HIGH NEXT FALL. I CAN'T BELIEVE HE IS GOING TO BE 12 THIS SEPTEMBER. JUST WHEN GRACIE THOUGHT SHE COULD GO TO SCHOOL WITH HER BIG BROTHER AND HE CHANGES SCHOOLS. LIFE GOES ON.
FLOYDEE VISITED HIS GRANDPARENTS ON MEMORIAL DAY AND HE DECIDED TO PLAY IN MY FOUNTAIN AND IN MY NEW GARDEN SO I HAD TO GIVE HIM A BATH AND I DID HIS HAIR TO SHOW OFF ALL HIS BRUSES. WHAT A CHARACTER HE IS.
YES, TODAY WAS A BIG DAY FOR GRACIE. SHE GRADUATED FROM PRE-SCHOOL AND IS GOING TO KINDERGARDEN. SHE WAS SOOOOO EXCITED THAT I COULD BE THERE AND OF COURSE SO WAS I. GRACIE RECEIVED RECOGNITION FOR THE ONLY GRADUATE THAT CAN READ. I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE IS 5 YEARS OLD NOW-WHAT A DOLL!
THE PFEIFFER WINERY WAS HONORED AT THE NIGHT BEFORE THE INAUGURATION OF PRESIDENT OBAMA AND BIDEN. IT WAS QUITE AN HONOR FOR THE PFEIFFER WINERY PLUS, OREGON WINES IN GENERAL!
PFEIFFER VINEYARDS. YES I MADE A SURPRISE VIST TO THR PFEIFFERS, AND I GOT TO SEE ROBIN AND CONRAD. THEY WERE SO EXCITED TO SEE ME AND CATCH UP WITH THE BALL FAMILY. THE OLD PLACE LOOKS FABULOUS.
DAD IS SO PROUD OF HIS DAUGHTER!
YEAH! LISSA GRADUATED FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON LAW SCHOOL. SHE NOW HAS A DEGREE IN BIO-MEDICAL ENGINEERING AND A LAW DEGREE-WHOW- SHE HAS THE WORLD AT HER FINGER TIPS--SAID HER PROUD PARENTS!
YES WE WISH WE WERE IN ROME AGAIN THIS YEAR. NOW THAT WE HAVE BEEN THERE, WE WANT TO GO BACK AND SEE EVERYTHING ALL OVER AGAIN AND SEE EVEN MORE. YOU ALMOST HAVE TO GO ONCE IN ORDER TO KNOW WHAT TO DO THE NEXT TIME. IT WAS A GREAT WAY TO CELEBRATE EASTER!
FLOYD IS NOW IN THE TODDLER CLASS. HE HAS GRADUATED FROM THE WOBBLERS TO THE TODDLERS. NEEDLESS TO SAY HE JUST THINKS IT IS NOTHING NEW. HE IS TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL!
I GAVE FLOYDEE A DRUM SET AND NEEDLESS TO SAY HE WENT WILD. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A CHILD GET SO EXCITED ABOUT SWINGING DRUM STICKS AND TAMBOURINES AROUND 
YES, THIS IS THE ENTRANCE TO OUR PLACE IN ACAPULCO. IT WAS NOT ONLY BEAUTIFUL, BUT IT WAS PRETTY TOUGH TO LOOK AT EVERYDAY!
Yes, Margot was looking radiant for her first birthday. She strolled around in her beautiful new satin and velvet dress just taking in all the people and the festivities. She loves her grandparents and of course we think she is quite special also.
Grant and Floyd were spending some fun cousins time together. This week I have been helping Lauren out by picking up Floydee and taking him to my house. Everyone at Daycare now knows Grammy B and they always are so nice to me. Floydee just smiles when I walk in the door because he knows it time to play, eat and do things that Mom won't allow. Oh Grandma, you are so bad!
YES, WE HAVE ALL CHANGED
