December 2008
Dear Family and Friends,
We hope this finds all of you well this holiday season. We are all doing well, excited for the joy of the holidays, and ready to make some wonderful memories this year. It’s been another busy, crazy year, and we’re not sure where the time has gone.
Jayme, 21, is attending UVU this year. She is majoring in Dance Education and English. She hopes to be able to teach. After spending six months working as a character at Disney World in Orlando, she is now working as a server at Cracker Barrel and teaching dance. Between school and her jobs, we don’t get to see her much, but it’s great to have her home again!
Jennifer, 18, graduated from high school, moved into her own apartment, and is attending BYU. She is still trying to decide on a major and is learning all about living with strangers and being on her own. (Sort of) Jenn is also working at Pinnacle Security, but is looking for something with more hours. Bills, bills, bills…
Michael, 17, is a junior. He played football, and is now wrestling for the high school. If only we could get him healthy! He’s been struggling with tendonitis, and then split his eye at wrestling practice. He is enjoying high school and making new friends. Michael is working at Pizza Factory when he can squeeze it in.
Ammon, 12, is in the 7th grade. He enjoys baseball, football and wrestling. Football was a learning experience, as Dennis and Michael coached his team. They had a lot of fun. Now he is wrestling with the Jr. High team. Ammon is a great boy and fun to be around. He loves being at the Jr. High this year, being on student council, and making new friends.
Matthew, 10, is in 4th grade this year. He loves school, and is doing well. He likes to play baseball and soccer, and is looking forward to trying basketball this year. He is a great brother, and takes special care of Jordyn. Matthew is a joy to have in our family.
Jordyn, 3, is the princess. She started a dance class this year, and loves it. She wants to be just like her big sisters. She loves spending time with her brothers and sisters.
Beth is just busy chasing everyone else around and playing cheerleader for all of their activities. She was finally released from Relief Society, and took a little while to find her stride again, but all is well. It’s kind of funny that she doesn’t seem to have any more time now than she did before.
Dennis is still working as corporate counsel for two companies in Springville. He is teaching the 16-17 year olds in Sunday school. Unfortunately he doesn’t have nearly enough time to run and ride his bike as much as he would like.
We wish all of you the blessings of the season, and the joy of realizing the blessings of our Savior. We are so blessed to have you in our lives, and grateful for that blessing. We’d love to hear from you or see you if you are ever in the area. Join us on face book, or check out our blog at stonefamilyhappenings.blogspot.com
Merry Christmas with love,
The Stones
Dennis, Beth, Jayme, Jennifer, Michael, Ammon, Matthew & Jordyn
