May has went by fast
Wow did May fly by. Ryan was gone for 10 days so I tried to stay busy while Ryan was gone. I thought that those ten days would never come and know that he has been home time have just flew by.
Memorial Weekend was our first weekend atBear Lake Idaho
On May 26th my mom, sister and I went to the Taylor Swift Concert. It was a lot of fun. I was a little disappointed because Kellie Pickler didn't perform. I was looking forward to seeing her again. My cousin won backstage passes to see Kellie Pickler and then didn't get to see her. She was really mad but it was made up when Taylor Swift came out at their terminal and sang "Hey Stephen" and then gave her daughter her bracelet and gave them hugs. She was really good in concert and I would go to her again. This summer we are going to a lot of concerts the next one we will be going to is George Straight then we are going to Toby Keith and then Keith Urban. I am really excited.

On Sunday we had another get together with my Grandpa Ballard and Elayne's Family as a going away party/birthday party/graduation party/fathers day party. We had a lot of fun. It’s not too often that we do a lot of stuff with that side of the family. My grandpa and Elayne left forAlaska

It was my birthday on June 1st. So Ryan & I took the day off work. We didn't do a lot but we raked the yard and I washed the vehicles. They looked really nice until it decided to rain on them this whole week. My Grandma took us to Coppermill. Again it was for my birthday and Jordan
My little brother graduated from Mountain Crest on June 2nd (with help from my sister and mom). I can't believe he is old enough to graduate. I swear it was just last year that I was getting married and he was only 13 running around with the cousins. My mom had seen an announcement that was for someone else graduating and she wanted me to put something together for my brother. We went out and took some pictures on Saturday and had them printed the same day. So here it is.

Ryan’s family had a BBQ on Saturday the 6th. We had a lot of fun. The whole family was there and even Ryan’s aunt Twila and cousin Kinley. Ryan invited a friend from work (Jeremy and his family). The kids had so much fun running around. We had ribs & Dutch oven potatoes for dinner and then sat around the fire. It was a lot of fun.

Baby Duffel
Breanne had a baby girl on Sunday. She weighed 7 lbs 7 oz and was 19" long. She has dark hair and looks alot like Breanne. Although I haven't seen any baby pics of Ethan so I can't say who she resembles the most. They didn't have any girl names picked out so it took a little while to name her but it fits her.

WARNING! Alot of Information Updated
So it has taken me some time to write about what has been going on in my life. It has been kind of busy. I will try to hit everything that has happened within the last 3 months. Sorry there is a lot of stories and a lot of pics.
In February we went to a Jeff Foxworthy concert, that was Actually quite good. We went down with my family and our friends Brad & Kristen. The opening act was a band called the Standards they are an acapella (not sure if spelling is correct) group they also were really good.
Then at the end of the month the whole family got together and celebrated Hunters birthday(nephew). He got a lot of cool toys and we all had cake and ice cream.
Ryan has been wanting to go camping and so we pulled the trailer to Idaho Falls to see Ryans sister. We left Friday morning and got up there Friday afternoon and were going to stay until Sunday. The wind was blowing on Sunday really bad that there was a warning out for "High Profile Vehicles" with the truck and trailer we didn't want to risk driving home on Sunday. Come Monday morning when we were leaving there was a lot of ice on the road we thought we might have a long drive home. As soon as we left Rigby and got into Idaho Falls the roads were fine so we got back into town about 1pm. While we were up there we went to The Museum of Idaho and saw the Titanic that was on display there. It was really interesting. When you go in they give you a boarding pass of an actual person that had boarded the Titanic. It told you what class you were in and were you were headed. They had real items that were found and they had some replicas of what the first class dining and rooms were like and also the third class. It was amazing to see the different in the classes. When you got to the end of the Exhibit it had a list of first class, second class, third class and crew members that survive and died. I was really sad to see how many people died. Ryan's person was a first class male that died and I was a third class male that died as well. Whitney, Kelly and Taylor went with us and they all survived the Titanic. If you want to go click here for more information. It's only $7 to get in and the exhibit is there until September. I was a lot like the Body Worlds Exhibit, but they have glass boxes and posters with a lot of information about the Titanic. They also have a real ice berg there. Can you imagine being in 32 degree water. I think it would be hard. It's hard enough to get into Bear Lake in the month of June.
Ryan's Boarding Pass
We finally bought our plane tickets to go to Alaska. It took a lot of courage to finally buy them. I am really excited to go back and show Ryan how much fun it is. It was going to be the first plane ride for Ryan but his work is going to have him travel this year. His first trip is in May, so by the time we go to Alaska he will be prepared for a 5 hour flight there.
My Mom and brothers birthdays are April 7th & 8th so we celebrate them together. We went to Fredericos for dinner on the 7th because we had to bowl on the 8th and because my brother was "hanging out with his friends". I can't believe that my little brother is now an adult (well legally) he just turned 18 (he is still a kid to me). That makes me feel old. He will be graduating High School this year and have to join the real world and get a real job.
There are babies everywhere. When we went to the sportsman banquet I swear every other woman that walked by me was pregnant. As most of you know my Sister is pregnant and due in May. I found out not to long ago that my two best friends growing up Tosha and Cammy are pregnant and due in October. Tosha is having twins, she is due October 1st and she just had an ultrasound and found out that she is having a boy and 80% the other is girl but they are going to have another ultrasound to confirm. Cammy is due on October 20th and hasn't found out what she is having yet. Also my Co-worker/really good friend Holly just had her baby on April 15th. He was 9lbs 8oz and 20.5" long. I have had a lot of fun at work and getting to know Holly I am sad that she is gone. We now have a new graphic artist named Jen and she will be fun to work with and get to know.
Now that I have blabbed on about the past three months. I will try to keep up on the blogging to at least once a month.

The first weekend of March our bowling team went to state. I did pretty well I got 46th place and won $9. I know its only $9 but it is better nothing. My aunt Lynnette did pretty good as well she won $46. We were the only 2 on our team that got anything from state. While we were in Ogden for State we ate at my dads friends restaurant (Top Shelf Sports Grill), it was their grand opening. I had me a pizza that was Alfredo sauce with ham and pineapple it was delicious. I also had to try their deep fried pickles. I know it sounds gross but they were sooo good. The guys were taking my Grandma Ballard to the airport. She was going to Arizona to see her sister and daughter. So While they were already down in the area we talked my dad, Jordan and Ryan into stopping in and surprising Jeff.

The second weekend was the Annual Sportsman's for Fish & Wildlife Banquet. We go pretty much every year and this year we left with a 270 Browning Gun. They always play a game at the banquet where you buy a $2 bill for $20 (if you think about it, it is kind of a ripe off) then they read off the serial number and if it matches your $2 bill you get to pick out a gun. Well my number was the first number read. I got to choose from 4 guns. I had to have Ryan come and help me pick it out because I didn't know Which one to go with. We had a choice between a .270 shortmag, a 30-06, a .22 handgun and the .270 browning. You already know that I/Ryan chose the .270 Browning. He claims that it is his gun but it is really mine and we will argue about it all the time.
Ryan has been wanting to go camping and so we pulled the trailer to Idaho Falls to see Ryans sister. We left Friday morning and got up there Friday afternoon and were going to stay until Sunday.

Better late then never
So its been awhile since I have done a post, things have just been a little crazy around here. At The office I am working on the "Babes of 2008" section and we have had a lot of problems with the internet form so I have had to call people back to try and work everything out.
My family went down to the Body Worlds Exhibit on the last Saturday they were open. BAD IDEA it was so busy, we waited in line for 2 hours before we got in. Then it took about an hour to an hour and half to get through. There was so many people in there we couldn't even get close to the cases. We then went to eat at the Old Spaghetti Factory(way yummy). My mom and dad had to hurry to get to the Jazz game that they thought started at 6:30 and then when they got there it didn't start until 7:00. Ryan drove down earlier that morning to go to the gun show with the guys. Then us girls went down later. For a While now Ryan has been looking for a new gun ( an AR-15) and finally got one(a bad "A" AR-15) when we went to Salt Lake. He couldn't find what he wanted at the gun show, but found one that a guy was selling that was just perfect. So after we got done eating we went to Pleasant Grove to pick it up. Well when you go to Pleasant Grove you pass Cabela's so of course we had to stop and get some ammo so he could go home and shoot. Turns out he was too busy so he didn't even shoot it until Wednesday.
I started bowling again at the beginning of the year. I bowl on Mondays with some friends and Wednesdays with my family. This week, on Monday I didn't do so well, so I was hoping wendsday would be better. We bowl three games and the first game I got a 173 which I thought was really good for me because my average is 134. My team kept telling me to keep it up and I told them that will be the highest game of the night for me I will probably only get like a 116 or something like that. Well the next game I got a 152 I felt pretty good about that I went down from the 173 but not to much. Then on with the third game I scored a 199 only 1 pin shy of scoring a 200. I was extremely devastated because if I could have just not guttered the one ball I could have had a 200. You don't get much when you get a 200 but you do get a pin. I really was looking forward to adding a pin to my collection. I have only every got over a 200 once I think I got a 204 so I have one pin but I have quite a nice collection of patches. I still broke a record for myself, my total series for all three games was a 524. I haven't yet recieve a patch for having a 500 series.

Happy Holidays
We sold our house last November and spent Christmas at my mom and dad's house so we didn't get to decorate. Well with having our house done I told Ryan that I needed to go get some Christmas Decorations. He told me I already had enough so I didn't need any more. Boy was he right. I started going through my stuff and I found a lot of stuff I didn't realize I had. I had stuff that I got from Bunco that I didn't even get to put up last year. Although I said I wouldn't get more Christmas decorations I do need to get Stocking holders because I now have a mantel that I can hand them from.
Ryan went out on Black Friday and bought a tree while I was at work. When I got home he had it up ready for me to decorate. We were going to go buy lights and started looking in our Christmas boxes and found 6 boxes of lights. Yeah we didn't have to go buy any. Ryan strung the lights and put the angel on top. While I was getting out our other decorations I found these clear beads that my Grandma Johnson gave to me before they moved last year. So I got to add something new to my tree. We finally got the rest of the tree decorated with bows, bulbs and lets not forget the train underneath. We got some batteries for the train and put them in yesterday. Khoa didn't like the train we would put it toy on it so it would take it around in circle and he would knock his toy off and the scurry back before the train came back around it was pretty funny to watch.
Our neighbors have this blowup chimney that the Santa goes up and down. We had Khoa out front and he noticed it and starting watching as the Santa would go up and then down. I think he was getting scared of it because he came over by us and started doing this protective thing were he blows air threw his cheeks and make a growling sound. I was so funny after watching him for about five minutes we decided we would take him back inside.
