Mother's Day, Wedding, B-day, etc.

So needless to say life has been crazy busy! I continue to wonder if it will ever slow down!? It has been almost a month since my last post!! That is the longest I have neglected the blog! Sorry. So May has been non-stop. May 1st was the anniversary of my sister Stacy's death. We still miss her like crazy! It has been 6 years, which is so hard to believe that life has gone on. So much has changed. I wish more than anything that she was here! So we celebrate her every May 1st by all getting together. We all went to the cemetery and let off balloons, "up to Stacy in Heaven". Then just the adults went out to dinner, which was nice. We are planning our 7th annual Stacy Egan Memorial Golf Tournament and started a blog for it... so now I have 2 to keep up! AUGH! check it out at http://stacyegantournament.blogspot.com/ Below is a pic of all of the kids waiting to let their balloons go!
And up to Stacy they go.
Next was Mother's Day! It was a great day, we spent the morning with my family... had an awesome brunch that my sister made and celebrated the moms as well as Lukey's 2nd b-day! Such a fun morning, then napped Matthew and headed out to dinner with the Schwieger side of the family at the Bierstube... everyone was there except Bridgit and Todd and the kids who live in Iowa. It was chaotic but fun! The best part of Mother's Day was the present that Matthew made me for. He was so excited to give it to me. It was a jar with pretty stones in the bottom and a votive so it was a candle... adorable!! Scary picture of me but he looks so adorable!

Then we had a very exciting b-day celebration for Mary Burns... she is my sister's neighbor, my old boss and one of my most favorite people. We had a little b-day lunch for her at my sisters with my mom and another neighbor, Tracey. It was so fun!
And on to the wedding! Ben's dad, Bob, got re-married and Ben was the best man! Jordan was the other groomsman. He and Karen seem very happy so that is great!

And here are the 2 cutest flower girls ever! Kennedy and Lauren! They were precious and did such a great job!

All dressed up!
The reception was at Mississippi Dunes golf course, it was so pretty! It started out raining but cleared up and was a great night! Here is Ben with his 3 sisters, Ashley, Tracy and Bridgit.
Us with my parents. So cute!

The next day (Saturday) we celebrated a late Mother's Day with the girls, since Bridgit wasn't home. So we went shopping without the kids and to PF Changs for lunch! SOOO fun! Then we went back to Ashley's and met up with the boys and kids and celebrated Bridgit's b-day a little early. It was so fun!! Then to end the weekend, we had a bridal shower on Sunday morning and a belated b-day party for Cullen that afternoon... It was a CRAZY busy weekend! Happy Birthday Bridgit!!!
So that is it in a nutshell and that was only the first 2 weeks of May! Lots more to come as we celebrate my mom, Mary and Stacy's bdays! Plus Labor Day is in there and we have another wedding! So fun! I think I need a vacation! :)
