Sorry, it's sideways--Nick and Ashleigh at FHE on Sunday
We started the FHE with a musical number--Nick on Cello, Braeden on Violin, and you can't see, but Sara was playing the flute, and Jana was playing the piano. All the grandkids sang along too. It was VERY emotional and spiritual and they all did an amazing job!!!
Between pictures--just hanging out having fun!
Preston and Cooper playing together--they get along so well!!!
All gathered around at FHE--listening to Mom and dad Ballard answering questions about their mission.
Saturday--Ashleigh fishing with Nick. We bought Ash a Sponge Bob Square Pants fishing pole.
