Birthday Girl

Stacy Michelle Barney, what an amazing woman! As you can tell by the blog our family celebrated 4 birthdays in the span of 2 months. There was a 5th, but Stacy is to humble of a person and to take the spot light away from anyone! Stacy, for 7 of our 8 married years she has had her birthday put on the back burner. So this insert is to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY and give her some praise.
Stacy loves being a mother to Jackson, Briana and Cassie.(Jerry too) They are her pride and joy!
She loves her family and puts their needs above her own.
She is fiercely loyal, even if you don't deserve it.
She will do anything to keep the peace with everyone. (but watch out if you tick her off!)
She loves to shop, watch movies, go out, read, listen to music, play games.
She makes the best of any situation.
Stacy may not tell you how she feels all of the time but she radiates her love when she is near you. Through her gentle touch and beautiful smile you know that you are loved! She has a firm conviction of our Savior and His plan for everyone. She is our family's foundation! We, Cassie, Briana, Jackson and I, are truly blessed to have this wonderful daughter of God as our mother and wife! Thank you Stacy! We love you!

Bronti's Scholarship Contest

So Jerry's sister Bronti auditioned for a singing scholarship. She was one of 5finalists and to determine the winner, they had to perform at a concert. The winner would be chosen by the audience. To be honest, we were a little perturbed by the process. It seemed that the way that the person was to win was who brought the most people and it would basically be a popularity contest. (And also, the tickets were $15 a piece, so we were paying for the scholarship as well!) Anyways, it actually turned out to be a lot more fair. The concert she performed at was put on by the "Fiesta Chorus", a barbershop group of ladies. So there were actually a lot of people there just for the concert, not the scholarship contest. Bronti did an amazing job. (I definitely would not be able to stand up and give a solo.) She sang "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz. She ended up getting 3rd place. But she is definitely a winner in my book! She showed such poise, courage, and personality. Way to go Bronti! I am so glad we were able to be a part of this great accomplishment in your life! We love you!
