New Family Blog for updated family news!

HI Balmforth Family members,
My family created a family blog about 4 months ago. It has proven to be so fun. You can get on a read what the other familys are doing and comment on their entries or write your own entry of news so that we can easily keep in contact with each other. Our Balmforth family really changed after Grandma passed away and I think it would be nice to do a page of remember whens.
Family really is all there is when you boil down to it. I have missed knowing what is going on with the families and hope this will be embraced by the original brothers and sister as well as there grown children.

Remember when we use to go to the Grandparents house on a Sunday afternoon and have dinner. Grandma will pull the table out and be jumping up and down trying to make sure we were all taken care of. Remember fun Christmas's when everybody got homemade pj's from grandma Myrtle and somebody got the game mousetrap and we played that forever. Those days are long passed but the memories will be forever as we each take a turn doing a (remember when).
Congratulations to Casey and his new bride, and great fun for all those who went to California. Sorry we had to miss it.
Our family is going to California June 9th to see Cody. We are taking Cody's daughter Dakota. Dustin has a couple of wrestling camps this summer and Ashley is playing softball and recently got in the school dance team topperettes. They all have jobs (yeah) and that helps out alot at this age. We finally got some grass, now I can give up one of my sins(greengrass envy)! Our grown kids are awesome and all doing well and working through lifes challenges. We have 2 grandsons and 9 granddaughters and Amber and Travis are expecting in November so WOW 12 grandkids. And many more to come Im sure.
Well Ive blogged myself out.
Take a minute or two and make an entry and tell us what you are all doing. Explore the site. You can comment on anyones elses blog if you would like, also you can put on pictures etc.
Love to you all
Valerie, Joel and kids.
