My sisters girls......

Are they not beauties????

BIG CHANGES.

On Monday big news came into the Balaz home, my dads wheezing is actually semi serious asthma. When I was in the doctors office with my dad, the doctor asks do you have any animals? My dad says 5. So the doctor says feed your cats to your dogs and feed your dogs to some other animal. Now before you start balling like a baby we are going to try and keep Roxy and Shorty and Lucky. But Snoopy and Mitzi we'll be gone in about 2 to3 months. During the course of this next 6 months we will be getting rid of are couch, painting the interior of are house, tiling our kitchen and office, wood flooring stairs and hallway, carpeting the house, and getting new furniture. (so the next time you come Las Vegas Aunt Cindy come visit our sweet pad). My dad is feeling a lot better after the medication.
Signing out,
Ryan

It's funny....

It's funny when something falls in your lap....I will blog about it later!

FV Drive In------This was my backyard

I have many great memories of this place. Found the pic on facebook and had to share a bit of nostalgia with those that stop by.

SUMMER.....

I really don't write too much about Summer and it is due time. Summer is the sweetest daughter, she is the perfect fit for me. We have so much fun together....watching her shows, listening to her sing, going to lunch, shopping, even sitting in church is a delight. OH yeah I can't forget snugga buggin....!
Summer is not a child that needs a lot of attention, as a matter of fact she goes in her room with out notice. Later I will have to ask Ryan "Where is Summer"? and it's always..." she is in her room". This has always been her world. This is an example what she must do in her room. I was sitting down stairs and she announces to me that she has learned in English the theme to Ratatouille. To my somewhat surprise she did and she sings it beautifully.
Yesterday she auditioned for a singing and dancing troupe, were waiting for the results...
I also didn't mention she has the lead of Jasmine in the play Aladdin. We are so excited for this. I haven't watched a bit of practice. I just want to be surprised and I know I will probably cry. I'm really very proud of her.
So this is for my Summergirl...who is, for me, the perfect daughter. My Father in Heaven couldn't have given me anyone else to fit the bill!
I love you Beegers!

He's Back.....

My Ry is back home I love him, my little man. It was so good to see him...Yep I cried! He hasn't stopped talking about his camping trip! He did say he missed me and he needed to be comforted a few times by his leaders Brother Roberts and Brother Kelly...Shout out to them! He also told me his buddy Caleb was there for him when he was feeling down! All in all I know he had a wonderful time and I am so happy he went! So welcome home Ryan! You were greatly missed!

Today the pearly gates were met with a pearly smile.....

Michael Jackson.....

August 29, 1958-June 25, 2009


I was always a fan of his music.....I always wondered if he was ever happy......Controversial or not.....May he Rest in Peace.

The count down....

Well Ryan will be coming home in less then 48 hours so I'm told! The time should fly since Summer has her dance recital rehearsals and the actual performances on Friday and Saturday. I've missed him, but have gotten by, being at work and sleeping....all the other times I think about him and miss him a lot. Since Sunday, it has gotten easier but just writing this gets me weepy eyed :..( I will have to say it was nice not to get on him about stuff. This gives him a break from the pterodactyl voice I usually get when he doesn't get his chores done...This is a relief for him I'm sure. I will be ready to give him the biggest bear hug when he walks through the door and make his favorite dinner on Sunday....until then I will continue to count down till my boy walks through the door safe and sound!!!

Ryan is camping!

Ryan is a scout....scouts go camping! Mom is a mom...She is going to worry....

What's on your T.V???

because this is on mine.....

Where have my fingers been to type a blog....

It has certainly been awhile since I sat down to write. Not that I haven't wanted to. I have been just incredibly busy. I went back to work, shot a wedding and a boy band, (see last few entries) on top of all my motherly duties. Life just doesn't get any better then this. Oh yes, I forgot, Mr. Wonderful had a birthday on Sunday. I cooked all day long and we all attended our sacrament meeting. Needless to say I have left little bloggie alone far longer then I'd like to.
It doesn't let up either.... Ryan goes to scout camp this Sunday. It has taken quite awhile for him to be ready to want to go. I'm not sure he is ready to venture out, but he is going! Summer has her dance recital on Saturday, which includes a week of rehearsal. Then she has her performance being Jasmine in Aladdin, 2 weeks after that, again I forgot something... she also has an audition for her dance singing team. We are looking at a very busy few weeks!
So I will close with a note to bloggie: I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. You are never forgotten! and for all those that read my blog I don't ever forget about all of you! See you soon!
