"2014" Here we come....

It has been so long since I last wrote... SORRY LALO !! We still love you!!! Between holidays, computer malfunctioning and being a mom I just didn't get to it, but one of my new year resolutions is to be a better blogger so I can keep a journal going for my family, so here it goes...


Thanksgiving week was a very BLESSED and BUSY week, we (The Stone's and Andrea) started it off Monday heading to San Antonio (4.5 hr drive) to Escort Danielle and Noe through the temple and witness their family being sealed for Eternity. That was such an amazing experience :) then Wednesday we headed down to McAllen ( 4.5 hrs to drive) for Thanksgiving it was so yummy (I think the oldest sister always takes the cooking award ;). Then Thursday night we headed back to Spring ( 6 hrs driving) to take Andrea to the airport bright and early Friday morning -- 15 hours in a small car!! Good thing we love each other, and it was all worth it we would totally do it again. Sat we went and watched Disney's new movie Frozen LOVE IT , it is so GOOD Ally's new favorite for sure and her new favorite princess/queen is Elsa .. SO FUN, and we adopted a puppy because my family can't say no and the adoption pet company was by the movie theater.

We had Joey's first Christmas Party for Westpark it was a lot of fun , they had dancing , karaoke and lots of yummy food. Joey and Jordan wanted to tackle a tie quilt for new years, that was a tradition each year in his family, they did a great job :) !! 

Work Christmas Party 2013

Christmas we decided to stay home after the long Thanksgiving drive, we went to the Jolley's for Christmas Eve and had more yummy food :) we did a fun reenactment of the Nativity. Then we came home and watched White Christmas with our little family and went to bed. We were so blessed our favorite part of the whole day was getting to talk to Elder LALO :) we love and miss him so much I had the camera ready to record the whole thing then got so excited to see him I totally forgot :/. The sister missionaries came over to talk to their families (for Christmas) as well and that was so fun , you really gotta love technology! My mom came out the next day, we love having family around for the holidays they are just not the same without them.We also went to the Antique Mall and found some treasures. For New Years Eve we had the Zamora family and the Smith family over, it was a blast! It is always funny to see how much food Brother Smith can put down!

Dad was the DONKEY and Jordan was Joseph (He's such a good sport)

Ally and Bella were ANGELS ( they picked the costumes) Evelyn was MARY

Our Lalo cried the second he saw his little Ally

Our 3 Kiddos on Christmas Day what more could you ask for,

We felt so BLESSED , technology is AMAZING (most of the time)

 Just take the picture already mom jeesh

Found this at the Antique shop and took a pic for Lec (he loves old cars)

Lalo got released from District Leader and transferred to Alicante, the nicest area on his Mission. We are really excited to see pics. Everyone in Granada was sad to see him go I am sure there were many tears shed for him :( Change is good keeps us strong.

I have told Joey for years that I want to go to Disney World for my birthday, YEP!! He is awesome we are driving ( 14-15 hrs) to Florida Jan 24, Grandma Great is going to meet us there (Joey's grandma) I am so excited I feel like a little child no worries Lalo we will go every 3 years ... :) !!! I want to have some quality time before we think about another child since I get so sick. To be continued......
