Ball Family Reunion Y'all

We went to Snyder, Texas for my Grandpa's family reunion last weekend. It was nice to see people I hadn't seen in years and meet family I had never even met. My Grandpa is one of ten kids so there are lots of family members. I think the population of the small town doubled while we were there! It was fun and meant a lot to my Grandpa so it was definitely worth the trip. I hope we can continue to have these reunions and are able to stay in touch with each other. Thank you to Lesa and Dona who worked so hard putting it all together, it turned out great! To see the rest of the pictures of the weekend click on the link below~

Happy 60th Dad!

What better reason to throw a big party then my Dad turning the big 6-0?? We had a great night of eating, drinking, dancing, drinking, black jack, drinking, and yummy cupcakes. There was even a little bit of drinking thrown in the mix, did I mention that already? It was so much fun seeing the family and good friends get together to celebrate my Dad. I don't know anyone that deserves it more, what a guy. I am so blessed to have the father I do. His family came from California for the weekend, an old friend from California even showed up and surprised him. The weather couldn't have been better, 90 during the day and 75 at night in June in Arizona? Are you kidding me?? Perfect. A special thanks to Blake and Bailey for all their help with the planning, decorating and playing hostess, you two are the best! Happy Birthday Dad, we'll have another big one when you turn 70! I love you!!
