happy b'day staci ~

Staci at Sara's wedding
Today is my daughter Staci's birthday ~ 35 years already.  Where does the time fly?

The Good Lord has certainly blessed Slim and I with a wonderful family!  All of them are so much fun to be around.  Last night we all got together at one of the local restaurants for a fish fry supper in honor of her birthday.

Today she and the girls and my son Sam, I believe her sister and brother in-law ~ Sara and Don, their cousin Zach and their Uncle JD and second cousin Janessa are spending some time at Solberg Lake in an ice fishing contest.  I know they'll be making some fun cherished memories!  I hope they catch a big fish or two and win some prizes too ... BONUS!!... as they would say:)

When I talked with Staci this morning; she sounded so excited about the day.  She's so much like me when it comes to stuff like that.  Spending time with family is an important factor in her life.  She has become such a wonderful mother and wife ... she has done this momma proud :)

These are her daughters ~ my precious Grandloves :

Brooke ~ Amanda ~ Bailey
and that little one of hers ... what a character ... she really has the devilish personality ... when she has her picture taken and no one is available to put the "devil fingers" behind her ... she'll do it herself ~ lol

I'll have to dig around in my photos ... because I know I have a picture somewhere of Staci looking just like that at that age ~ doing the same thing.

Until next time ...
So it goes in my neck of the woods.

  1. Oh, so sweet! Happy Birthday my dear lil neicey! I cannot you are so grown up already and such a sweet family, indeed. What I really, Really, REALLY can't believe is that she finally learned how to cook, and cook good! Remember when she went to take a shower while her egg was frying? Poor girl will Never live that one down.
    And, what a fun day they have planned. Aren't you fishing with them?

  4. RE: Dar .. no fishing for me today. I decided I need to dedicate a day to the house and clean it up a bit. My dust bunnies have gone wild in the last couple weeks that I was so busy with the JPD Warrior fisheree. I think it's spring breeding season for them. Plus ~ my washer and dryer missed me. I don't need Clean House knocking on my door asking to do a show!
