Finally, we did the Worlds Easter on Monday. Andrew was gone with his dad out of town, so Ryan and I waited for his return in order to make it more fun. What was nice for me was I waited until I dropped the kids off at school to buy any Easter items. Everything was 50% off, and that made it nice. I bought a few candy items, a kick ball for Ryan. I went home and put the stuff in baskets and hid them behind a bush in our back yard. Ryan loves money more than anything, so instead of candy in the eggs, I put a quarter in each one, 28 eggs total and distributed them around the yard. Ryan found his first egg, found the quarter in it, and went wild with excitement knowing that more eggs ment more money. End result...Ryan 19 eggs, Andrew 9. I guess he just wanted them more! Both boys were happy and it was great to have such a wonderful backyard to enjoy it in. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family and so blessed to have sold our home and that we get to enjoy living here in Kaysville.

Andrew Being His Handsome Self

Andrew has been part of our family for over 13 years! He is fun, has a great sense of humor and is a Valiant Boy. He is and will be great as he gets older. He plans on serving a Mission, going to college and completely enjoying life. I love how he'll joke with me and my favorite thing he does is empty the dishwasher...I hate emptying the dishwasher!

Ryan Ball May 5th 2000

Ryan came to us on May 5th, 2000. He was a cutie, with quite an attitude. It was tempting to call him, "cry'in Ryan". But, after a few short years (they seem short now), he has grown into a fun, loving and cheerful boy. He turns 9 here in a month! I can't believe how old he is, and although I miss his cute little self, I am enjoying his current age and all the crazy stuff he does.
