What happens in Vegas...

SOOOO, last week I gave you little hints about a B-I-G little long weekend...did you guess where we went?  VEGAS!! I figured every girl should turn 21 in style so back in January, I started planning Sis's 21st birthday bash in Sin City.  And boy did we have fun!!  Several of Syd's sorority sisters went with us and they were all Vegas first-timers!  We rolled in late on Thursday night/early Friday morning (depending on how you look at it) just in time for Sis to be 21!  I won't give you all of the boring details but we had fabulous dinners, long days at the pool, got in a little sightseeing and did plenty of "clubbing."  Might I say that bottle service, professional dj's, limos and banquettes are all the rage out there...and plenty of fun, too! :)  This 31 year-old did her best to hang with the young ones and I must say, I think I did just fine!  I'm still exhausted (3 days later) but I had a blast!  Until next time Vegas.  Oh, and PS: don't put it all on black.  It usually doesn't work out very well! :)

Mother's Day

Mother's Day 2013 was GREAT!  We had a fabulous lunch at my in-laws AND got to celebrate a precious little girl turning 4! Caroline Reed's birthday was yesterday, too, so we had lots of fun celebrating mothers and CR! See below for a few pictures that my sister-in-law, Helen, took of the kiddos.  She's such a good photographer...I tell her all the time she should do it professionally!

Gathered Together

It has been an emotional week in the Stacy family.  Sadly, Reed's grandfather, Mr. Stacy passed away and the funeral/visitation services were earlier this week.  Mr. Stacy was such a wonderful, Christian man who loved his family (especially those grandkids and great-grandkids!) with all of his heart.  As we gathered together to celebrate his life, we paused for a "kid pic" with Memaw, Reed's grandmother.  The Stacy clan is made up of extremely special people and I am so fortunate to be a part of this family.   With nine grandkids and six spouses (plus teensy, tiny little Mae) we make for a handsome group, don't we?! Love this family...so happy they're mine!

The Big Five!

Happy Anniversary to us!! Today, marks 5 years as MRS STACY...five!!  I say it all of the time, I know, but really...where does the time go?  We went from our first date in 2005, to getting engaged in 2007, to getting married in 2008, to becoming parents in 2011.  What a fun ride it has been and looking forward to many more years!
