We just wanted to let everybody know that we won't be blogging for a while. We've decided to do what we can to simplify our lives. We are getting rid of Cable, and internet for now. We want to start focusing on the needs in our lives. And spending time on the things that will truly enrich our lives as a family and bring us closer together as a family and to the Lord. We'll still be happy to keep in touch with friends and family through email when we get a chance to check it elsewhere! Or feel free to give us a call!</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#00cccc;"><em>We'll do our best to at least post our new arrival in April!</em></span></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/738744770667371979-6345702857052143068?l=rayandmelball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ray Ball Famhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06284255963069107087noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738744770667371979.post-41987117811991025342009-01-27T18:57:00.001-08:002009-01-27T19:08:52.667-08:00Belated Christmas time!<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#006600;">So I was a month behind on posting Halloween, so why not carry on the tradition and post <span style="color:#cc0000;">Christmas</span> a month or so late too!

First you see them finding the not so perfect one, and then dragging it! I wish I would've taken a picture of the trees on top of our van. We got one for my mom also, and didn't know until we got home that we had trees like two times to big. When they went on top of our van, it looked like the Griswalds Christmas. You could barely see our van, the branches were hanging over the sides, back, and front. We could barely get in and out of our van! We were so anxious to get them off, I didn't get a picure. I meant to do a before and after of our lovely wild tree in the house, but maybe next year!</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/738744770667371979-2222571952073062937?l=rayandmelball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ray Ball Famhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06284255963069107087noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738744770667371979.post-48594145912527278832009-01-27T18:41:00.000-08:002009-01-27T19:11:05.689-08:00Gingerbread house!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d4yNrTMhNkE/SX_GbqM6HkI/AAAAAAAAAO8/c1NKVl49gIA/s1600-h/101_1237.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296169865298189890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d4yNrTMhNkE/SX_GbqM6HkI/AAAAAAAAAO8/c1NKVl49gIA/s400/101_1237.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_d4yNrTMhNkE/SX_GQmpje1I/AAAAAAAAAO0/FxaPbiop86o/s1600-h/101_1238.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296169675366038354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_d4yNrTMhNkE/SX_GQmpje1I/AAAAAAAAAO0/FxaPbiop86o/s400/101_1238.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_d4yNrTMhNkE/SX_GGCHlFLI/AAAAAAAAAOs/XiaCuGrHuQs/s1600-h/101_1240.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296169493761168562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_d4yNrTMhNkE/SX_GGCHlFLI/AAAAAAAAAOs/XiaCuGrHuQs/s400/101_1240.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Our traditional gingerbread house.

I'm kinda that in-between, "is she just getting fat or is there really another baby coming", stage. I'm<strong> <span style="color:#6600cc;">21 weeks</span></strong>,the baby seems to be growing fast though, so maybe soon I'll do that! We found out today at our ultrasound that, to our huge shock that it was another<strong><span style="color:#000099;"> </span><span style="color:#3366ff;">boy</span></strong>, that'll be three in a row. I was so sure it was a girl. I was not looking forward to telling Raelene the news, she has been so patient, after Nathan was a boy, I mistakenly assured her that next time it would be a girl. How cruel of me, when we started to tell her, she had that excited look on her face like we would confirm what she wanted to hear. Then we broke the news, she got mad and even yelled, then just instantly burst into tears and just cried straight, I joined her at that point. It broke my heart! Then we assured her that she would still be our "only very special girl"! Those boys will have so much fun together, & Raelene & I will too! Nathan & this boy,( which I have no names in mind, I only had girl names ready), they will be <strong>18 mos. apart</strong>!</span></div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/738744770667371979-8193270847678043690?l=rayandmelball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ray Ball Famhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06284255963069107087noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738744770667371979.post-35482650220322384202008-12-10T12:52:00.001-08:002008-12-12T21:12:03.204-08:00Twilight!!<div align="center">Sis Ashley, neice Lacey & I killing time waiting for the midnight movie premiere to start after having a fun dinner together!</div>

The weather was perfect! We just went by ourselves, and were pleasantly surprised by how much fun that was! As you can see we did some fishing on Henrys Lake. Raelene and Blake introduced their little bro to some hard core 4-wheelin' which he looooved! We played games, vegged, read a book, watched a movie, and enjoyed a very pleasant scenic walk in the mountains! All in all a much needed re-energizing weekend!

They get to go together this year! Because they are only 12 months apart, and both of their b-days miss the deadline by a few weeks, they will both get 2 years of preschool. This is Raelene's 2nd year, then she will move onto kindergarten next year while Blake stays for his 2nd yr of preschool! That just means they'll be that much smarter when they start kindergarten. They are so excited to be in the same class together!</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/738744770667371979-8308383925113561856?l=rayandmelball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ray Ball Famhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06284255963069107087noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738744770667371979.post-10800017071822992302008-09-11T09:50:00.000-07:002008-09-11T10:04:20.990-07:00Our Canoeing Fish Trip!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_d4yNrTMhNkE/SMlN2Avk0kI/AAAAAAAAAGk/E5cR9pWkDGU/s1600-h/090608_1431%5B00%5D.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244808831357473346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_d4yNrTMhNkE/SMlN2Avk0kI/AAAAAAAAAGk/E5cR9pWkDGU/s320/090608_1431%5B00%5D.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d4yNrTMhNkE/SMlNvTHZ-RI/AAAAAAAAAGc/LJMEHcZ6jyg/s1600-h/090608_1444%5B00%5D.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244808716030179602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d4yNrTMhNkE/SMlNvTHZ-RI/AAAAAAAAAGc/LJMEHcZ6jyg/s320/090608_1444%5B00%5D.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_d4yNrTMhNkE/SMlNnIzpW2I/AAAAAAAAAGU/1LXE5Kk6MW4/s1600-h/090608_1445%5B00%5D.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244808575823993698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_d4yNrTMhNkE/SMlNnIzpW2I/AAAAAAAAAGU/1LXE5Kk6MW4/s320/090608_1445%5B00%5D.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d4yNrTMhNkE/SMlNCM7W88I/AAAAAAAAAF8/3NnjbsZi3zE/s1600-h/090608_1505%5B00%5D.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244807941274923970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d4yNrTMhNkE/SMlNCM7W88I/AAAAAAAAAF8/3NnjbsZi3zE/s320/090608_1505%5B00%5D.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />We went canoeing at the Rigby Lake last saturday. They stocked the lake with fish this summer, so we took a shot at it. We didn't expect to get anything so we were pleasantly surprised when: Ray caught one, then right as soon as we reeled it in, Raelene got one, and instantly Blake, we were bringing theirs in at the same time. It was so exciting for them. They loved it. I was there I promise, on the other side of the camera! I wasn't as lucky to get a fish! I just enjoyed the awesome canoe ride! </div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/738744770667371979-1080001707182299230?l=rayandmelball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ray Ball Famhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06284255963069107087noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738744770667371979.post-9859934596332177592008-09-11T09:07:00.000-07:002008-09-11T09:50:51.737-07:00Tribute to Girls camp!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_d4yNrTMhNkE/SMlDSaVjalI/AAAAAAAAAF0/CFJ_IIO4fYY/s1600-h/101_1086.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244797224636082770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_d4yNrTMhNkE/SMlDSaVjalI/AAAAAAAAAF0/CFJ_IIO4fYY/s320/101_1086.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d4yNrTMhNkE/SMlCl02rosI/AAAAAAAAAFs/zEO4hoImyrM/s1600-h/101_1085.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244796458660242114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d4yNrTMhNkE/SMlCl02rosI/AAAAAAAAAFs/zEO4hoImyrM/s320/101_1085.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div><div>When I went to girls camp I wasn't really blogging, but my blog wouldn't be complete without my girls camp girls.

He claims it was a successful hunt: they got into them, they took some shots, and didn't have to pack anything out. My version of success would be to fill my freezer with meat. That's the difference between us! I did get my hunting license for rifle. So Archery is Ray's chance to provide, then if he fails, I'll have to go get my own elk!

Raelene was feeling pretty special, because she hit the 42" mark this year that got her onto about 2 more rides than Blake. Blake was quite heartbroken, but we promised him next year he'd make it. We better find some tall shoes if he doesn't grow!! I only managed to get this one picture before my camera battery died!
