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.
