Memorable Monday
Christmas Cards

2014 was a year of ups and downs for the Pace family.  We were privileged to attend both the Gilbert Temple and Phoenix Temple Open House and Dedication.  We love spending time together and know how precious that time is.  We are so grateful to have the gospel in our lives.

Jim continues to work at Merchant's Information Solutions.  He works from home once a week and it’s been fun to have him home more often.  His calling in the ward is the Assistant Executive Secretary.   He really enjoys playing board games with the kids.

Tami has had some health issues this year, which hopefully have been resolved.  She has been really busy at the schools attending concerts, musicals, field trips, and helping out as often as she can.   She LOVES her children and LOVES to watch them perform.   She always seems to have a camera in her hand capturing those moments.   She is the Advancement Chairman for the Scouts in the ward.

Josh is 18  and is a senior in high school.  In the spring, Josh joined full orchestra and participated in the pit of “Hello Dolly”.  He really enjoys playing the clarinet and bass clarinet.  He also took some AP tests and scored a 5 in Physics and decided that he wanted to be an Engineer.  In the fall, he marched the Sousaphone in the marching band, joined a college music class, and volunteered to play with the youth symphony.  He is so involved in the band program.  Josh is working really hard in school and filling out college and scholarship applications.  He is going to Mission Prep classes and getting prepared to go on a mission.

Danni is 16 and is a junior in high school.  This year, she performed in “Hello Dolly” and in “Seussical” at Mesa High.  She tried out for Acapella choir and Spotlight drama and made it into both groups.    She loves to perform on stage and is so fun to watch.  She was inducted into the National Honor Society this fall.  She is keeping up her grades and is starting to look into colleges.  Now that Danni is 16, she is driving and dating.  

Angela is 14 and is a freshman in high school.  Last spring, Angela went to Disneyland with her choir and sang some Disney tracks.  She promoted from 8th grade and started high school.  She is doing well in school and is learning how to get around campus.  Angela is taking choir in high school and loves it.  She is such a beautiful singer and knows the lyrics by heart.  Angela is also taking seminary and loves to mark her scriptures.  

Emily is 10 yrs old and in 4th grade.  Emily started playing the violin this fall and really enjoys it.  She joined a couple of clubs at school this year – Hope Club and Campus Care Club.  Emily loves to play board games with her dad and brother.  


We hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
The Pace Family
