Vacation #2....Colorado

The Stones (minus Lia because of the elevation) went to Colorado in August for a huge Stone family vacation. It was awesome. I came back wondering, "Why do we live here?". The weather was perfect all the time, the accomodations incredible (thanks Edmonds fam), and the company was so much fun. I'll let the pictures tell the story.

Mexico baby...Vaycay 2009

Corey and I go to Mexico every year. Did you know that about us? Last year, however, we were unable to go so we've been looking forward to this for over a year. We had a wonderful vacation in Cancun at our favorite resort so far. It had everything we love...good food, nice pools, poolside cabanas, a great beach, and even good entertainment. Corey's sister Jen went with us and we had an awesome time. We did alot of relaxing and reading books. We ate alot of food and did alot of nothing. It was everything you could've asked for in a Mexico vacation.

Lia's Birthday

Our baby girl turned one year old on July 22nd. On one hand our year was fast and furious, and yet on the other it seemed to move unbelievably slowly. We had a year of lessons learned about faith and love, friendship and family, and the power of prayer. We are still learning, and I feel like it will continue to be a work in progress, as we live our lives everyday with our eyes focused on our Lord and what he has planned for us. If you are reading this, then you have in some way been a part of our sweet Lia's life her first year. Thank You...Corey and I will never be able to appropriately express our gratitude for the support and prayers that you all have given on behalf of our family.

The Wedding

Here are some pics from the wedding...it was perfect.

Wedding Weekend

This past weekend was my baby sister Laci's wedding. She married John Nottley, her college sweetheart. They met at Oklahoma Christian where Laci cheered and John played basketball. The wedding was beautiful, perfect, and Laci was a stunning bride.

We went down on Thursday and stayed in a hotel so the boys could feel like they were on vaycay...you know all kids like to stay in hotels. We had a good time hanging out with Lori (my other sister) and her family. Corey's brother Chad and his daughter Shelby were there too.

The next day was the rehearsal dinner. We got to meet all of John's family and friends from England. (Did I mention he's from England? He has an accent and everything) I wanted to try and pick up a little of the "English accent" but it didn't really work out that way. Woulda really been cool, though.
