Merry Christmas From the Stanphill Family

In an effort to simplify the season, we are sending out our Christmas greeting without the paper and stamps. We hope this finds you well and we are thanking God for His provision for us this year. Please scroll through the blog to get an idea of our year and all it held for us.









Benjamin: 5 years old, Kindergartener, quirky and has taken on school as his job. Loves to play with his cousins but can also be found lurking quietly in corners playing independently. Ben played soccer for the first time this year and has made some great new friends.




Emma Kait: 8 years old, 2nd grade, loves school and her teacher Mrs. Wenstrom. Emma started piano lessons this year with Rebecca's childhood piano teacher and continues to explore her artistic talents.









Joseph: 10 years old, 4th grade, lover of animals and very hard worker. Joseph helped re-roof the little house on our property this year and then re-roofed the kid's playhouse by himself.



Jon and Rebecca: Jon continues in his work for Granite Bay Excavating and has also recently returned to his roots in web/media development starting Structured Media Design. Rebecca voyaged into a new season of life with all the kids being in school this year and took a part time job teaching PE at the kid's school for 1-3rd grades. She has enjoyed some mornings of a quiet house, with a cup of coffee and a crackling fire.

We wish you peace and joy this Christmas.

New Adventures Ahead

Hi Everyone! I wanted to be the first to let you know that Jon and I are in the process of starting another adventure....well actually revisiting one from his past. In these hard times for construction companies, we have decided that we could use some income from a source NOT linked to the housing market and construction industry so he's going back to his roots in web developing and starting an additional company. We want to introduce you to the name and promise a link to the website soon. If you know anyone who needs his services, by all means, he would love the contacts! He is still continuing in his excavating business with his dad and we thank God every day for His provision for our family. Also, if you call my cell phone and wonder why I answer the voice mail, "Hi, this is Rebecca at Structured Media Design..." you'll know why.

The Rest of the Photos

Totally skipped out on October!

Well, what can I say, but we have been so busy this fall that October came and went and I didn't get a chance to post. It was filled with fun activities like pumpkin patching, candy toting, dress upping, pumpkin carving and finally, costume winning. We are onto November which has been filled with Joseph turning the big 1-0, Emma participating in her first parade as a Brownie Girl Scout and now we are looking forward to the week vacation for Thanksgiving. I plan to celebrate our week off by staying in our jammies as much as possible, sleeping in, baking yummies and hanging out with family. I will try now to post some pictures of the latest activities.

More Soccer Pictures

Here are the rest of the soccer pictures.....

Soccer for All

Soccer season is in full swing. Jon is coaching Joseph's team again this year, Emma is playing on a team sponsored by our company, Granite Bay Excavating, and Ben is playing for the first time. We have practices 6 times per week (3 kids X's 2 practices per week), but we have them all on Tues. and Thurs. so it's crazy those two days, but calms down a bit.

Here are some fun photos of this past Saturday's games. I especially like the one at Emma's game showing the grandparents there. How many kids have the opportunity to have BOTH sets of grandparents at most of their soccer games. What a blessing!!
