Lets start with JaNuaRy. Tyrell was here from Snow College and the mission papers got started. He was an old man in the college play & we laughed our guts out. Oh I had another birthday. K. sported a cast from sleding and cutting his thumb almost off. Tyrell sports stitches from cutting his leg open snowboarding for the first time. C. took fourth place over all in the Jr. High State wrestling turnament. fEbUrAuY Wrestling practice started for the little boys. M. decides that he is going to wrestle for the first time ever and WOW he can really kick butt for having so little experience out on the mat. Dr. appoinments for J.. I am super busy with scouts. School school school. March All the Dr. appointmenst and mission stuff is about to be wraped up for Tyrell. Z. is loving Kindergarten. Stake Pres. appointments are done for mission papers. Pinewood Derby cars are made and racing. J. loves going to career information days for girls with her friends at UVU and stayed at Aunt Rozanns house overnight. April WAITING FOR THE MISSION CALL! Ty's finales are almost done. The Dad and the Mom are going to help Tyrell move back from Snow College and the post-office calls to ask if they should deliver the big white package or are we picking it up. Yeah picking it up!!! Tyrell said it took forever for us to drive to Ephriam so he could see where his call was too. Johannesburg SOUTH AFRICA and that MTC not Provo MTC. MaY arrives but now Tyrell has wait the whole summer before he could leave, what a long painful wait.He spent the whole time working even the holiday celabrations. Horse shows for 4-H, J. and M. shine. J. is Sevier counties representative for state by the end of the summer. M. also is a rep but choose not because the competition is steep. jUnE-jUly-AuGuSt The three oldest not Tyrell grew lambs for the fair. J. took third place over all for market lamb. That is some stiff competition. Sadly M.'s lamb didnt make weight so next year he will try again. All the kids took a chicken in that they had raised this spring and all got BlUE Ribbons. They mostly cared about the money. Horse RIDING horse riding HORSE RIDING do I need to say more its what we did all summer every free chance we got. We went tent camping for the first time since Jer. was born. We haven't been brave enough because of needing so much equipment to deal with all his lung issues. It was a blast but I admit with kids I really want a trailer. We slept through the rain and had wet sleeping bags but it was still fun. School started soon after that and then here came SEPTEMBER. The missionary talked on fast sunday because A general Authority came and bumped him out of his time slot the next sunday. The next week he flew for 24 hours arriving in Johannesburg South Africa MTC for 3 weeks he is now in the field and loving it. The next week J. placed third over all at the state 4-H in barrels and is setting a goal to begin high school rodeo in the spring of next year. It is quiet around our house with out the older brother to tease and torment. OcToBeR So now we are settling into school. Jer. started Early intervention and head start its been an adjustment but of course. NoVeMbEr. J. runs the spot light at the High School Musical. C. plays football and it is a struggle this year for his team, he still loves playing though. DeCeMbEr finds us here pretty much summing up the year. We wish everyone a wonderful year and may peace come to you, may your focus be on the true meaning of this season Jesus Christ's birth. Also let us remember to touch someone else's life for good. Love all the Alonzo and Brooke Jones Family MERRRY CHRISTMAS AND A SUPER GREAT NEW YEAR!
