The Ballard Boys at the Greenbrier

The Ballard Boys took over the Greenbrier this weekend to Celebrate Nonna's Birthday and Nonna and Grumpy's Anniversary! Minus one minor Sign and Easel Collision by James, I think the weekend was a Success! The Ballard Boys had a Blast and were their Charming Selves...

Lastly, A Big Thank You to Grumpy, Nonna, Aunt Becca, Uncle Drew, Uncle Chris, Aunt Jodie, Kaleb, Brenna, and Darcie for a Fabulous Weekend!!!!  Love You All!!!!

Ballard Boys Lov'n UVA Sports!!!

The Ballard Boys had a Fun Filled Weekend of UVA Sports! You know how the saying goes..."When in Rome, Do As the Romans Do"  The Ballard Boys take their Cavalier Sports Very Seriously!! 

Friday the Ballard Boys took in a Little Men's Soccer

 Saturday, the Football Team versus Penn State and won!!! The Boys were Ready to Fight the Nittany Lions

The game was Sold Out and a Little Warm for Our Little Hoos!

Another one because they were just so Fired Up!

Shout Out to Parade Rest for Providing the Ballard Boys with their Fabulous Sporting Line-Up this Weekend! We truly appreciate the generosity and We had a Blast!!!

The Ballard Boys Go to School!

    Today was the First Day of PreSchool at First Presbyterian Church Preschool in Charlottesville and the Ballard Boys were Super Excited!!! This was Jebby's Very First Day of School, Ever! He is going into the 2-3's Class.  This is William's second year at First Pres. He is in the Pre-K Program this year.

The Boys started out with the Breakfast of Champions; Cereal Bar, Pears, and Milk!

 Everyone is Ready to go!!!

 The Boys walked in like they Owned the Place! 

 Jebby waiting for School to begin!! He hung his backpack up and everything!

William didn't even need me there, he walked down the hallway from Jebby's door, where we were waiting and got in line to enter his class! (of course, right in line with Lena ;)

   Well, No Pictures of Jebby going into his room, because when the teacher opened the door to Welcome the kids, he marched right in and handed her his supplies!!! So not wanting to rock the boat, I just waved bye! 

   I arrived 45 minutes early for pick-up because I was actually lonely... Once the boys each came out, I can report that School was Wildly Successful! All Smiles!!!!!  I asked Jebby if he had fun and with a Big Smile, he said YES, Momma! (his little face from the playground) Jebby also told me that "He payed with his fends and ate goldpish!" William also was Excited to see all his Friends again! So Many are back in his class this year! William said he ate Goldfish and Raisins for snack! Our school year is off to a Fabulous Start! 

A Little Soccer Saturday Night!

The Fun of Living in a College Town! The Ballard Boys took in a little UVA Women's Soccer this weekend.  They had a Blast! 

Jebby Loved sitting and playing in the grass.

(Good Pic of Jebby's fat lip! Poor Fella!)

It was a Great Game but UVA just couldn't pull it out... They lost 3-2...

Kung Foo Master's New Belt!

William's Belt Ceremony was today and he was Very Excited to receive his new Belt! William is now an Orange with White Stripe Belt! One step away from a Full Orange! (Must admit we are still newbies at this Tae Kwon Do, but William is LOVING Every Minute!!!!) 

(Thanks to our Rogue Black Belt I missed William's name being called, but don't be too quick to stop the video, his smile once he sits down is Priceless!)

Another Belt Bites the Dust...

Our Little Black Belt participated in another Belt Testing tonight. To Pass his Testing this time, he needed to know his Address, Another Technique for Stranger Danger, and Sonoghm 3. (Don't quote me on the spelling of that... HeeHee) William was Focused and Looked like a True Black Belt in Training!

A Special Shout Out to Our little Rogue Black Belt, who cooperated with me for 1 minute so I could get this video for Daddy! :)

And Lastly, Stranger Danger Fighting Technique...

So Proud of Our Little Black Belt Leader! He is doing so well and has made some great friends along the way! We will see how he looks in his New Belt on Saturday!!

Busy Busy Summer Fun...

I Know it seems like we've had a slow summer because of the lack of posts but it's been quite the opposite! Here is a quick run down of the winding down of Summer 2012...
