Take Me Out to the Ballgame....

It was a perfect day to start our baseball season. The sun was out and we even got a little burned on accident. Colby started his second year as a Titan in his coach pitch league. He went 3 for 3 and hit the ball great each time. Jace made his tball debut as the pitcher. Yes, I realize I said "teeball" so you're thinking, "why do we need a pitcher?". The truth is the pitcher is very important because the boys hit the ball back to that guy almost every time. He did a good job stopping the ball and throwing it to his buddy Maddox for the out several times. There's nothing cuter than watching boys that age do a little hop because they did well and then give each other a high five.

The Stone family was well represented in the stands by two of our Aunts, Lori and Laci. We also had Kade there to watch for a while. All in all, it was a fun day.

Lia was there cheering on her brothers.

Colby was concentrating on something...

Best baseball buds and brothers. Hopefully we'll have many more pics like this as they grow up through the years. This was a good day in the Stone house!

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.
