The Paces had a busy year in
2011. We have been on several trips to
Lakeside and Las Vegas to support Josh at his Chess Tournaments. We had great family trips to the local parks
this year. We love spending time
together as a family and appreciate the moments when we are all together.
Jim has been busy
working at Merchants Information Solutions and really enjoys his work. He served in the Elder’s Quorum presidency
for most of the year. Recently, Jim was
called to serve as the Ward Mission Leader.
This calling keeps Jim busy and on his toes. It’s fun to have the missionaries over at our
house.
Tami is busy
taking care of the family and volunteering in the schools. She has been really involved in the schools
this year, especially with kids in 3 different schools. She is currently serving as the Advancement
Chairman in Scouts. Tami loves to read,
take pictures, scrapbook, and update the family blog when she finds free time.
Josh is in 9th
grade and is a freshman in high school.
He competed in various chess tournaments in the spring and qualified to
compete in the State Championship in Lakeside.
The chess club also took a trip to Las Vegas to compete in an
international competition. He really
enjoyed playing chess with his teammates.
In the fall, Josh joined the MHS Marching Band and worked really hard. They Marching Band won 5th place
in their division and created a great show.
Josh has been taking Jazz Band clinics and will take the class in the
spring. Josh is working on getting his
Eagle.
Danni is in 8th
grade this year. She loves school and it
seems she is always there. In the spring,
she earned a Principal’s Award and was inducted into the NJHS. This fall, she got involved in drama and had
a part in the school play. She is also
on the Yearbook committee and goes to various events to take pictures. She loves to take and edit pictures and make
videos too. Danni is working really hard
on her Personal Progress program in YW. Danni
is also taking piano and dance again this year.

violin in 5th grade but decided that she wanted to try the cello in
6th grade. She is participating
in a local chorus group with some of her friends. She is also taking piano lessons this
year. Music is such a big part of her
life! A month ago, Angela participated
in the school spelling bee. She
memorized all 13 Articles of Faith again this year. Angela has grown so much this year.
Emily is in 1st
grade this year. She loves school and is
learning to read. Emily is finishing her
last year of “Let’s Play Music” this year and is playing the keyboard with both
hands. Emily learned all 13 Articles of

outside and we often find her in the back yard playing. She loves to play games with the family. She is such a sweetheart and we love her!!!
