2009 CHRISTMAS LETTER AND PICTURES

NIKKI AND JASON

TAYLOR AND LYNDA

LOGAN AND LYNDA

HELLO TO OUR WONDERFUL FAMILY AND FRIENDS:

WOW! What an eventful year the Stack family has had, it's hard to know where to begin so let's just
start with Dan Taylor, Lynda's dad passed away in May after a short 5 week battle with pancreatic cancer. What a bittersweet time for the family,how sad we were to lose him, but what a joyous reunion he must have had with his 2 son's and other family members that were there to greet him.

Then we have our Jason boy. Jason was called to war in Afghanistan in May 2009 he was there four months and was severely wounded from being shot several times in the hand, and both legs,shooting off his right knee cap and breaking his right femur bone. Jason suffered a long time on the mountain before crawling down to safety and being rescued. How grateful we are that our Heavenly Father spared his life, others in his troop were also shot and his LT sadly lost his life. While this is a tragic story Jason and Nikki welcomed a new baby boy to there family. Little Brennen was born on November 19th , and Carson turned 13 months old the day after he was born. Crazy close but they are both really good parents and we LOVE being grandparents. We are so thankful to our sweet daughter in law Nikki and her brave sweet spirit and taking care of Jason and those babies at a really difficult time. We took a family vacation to Colorado for Thanksgiving and got to spend a lot of time with them, and it was wonderful.

Taylor is in the 8th grade and is doing great. He made the varsity basketball team and is really enjoying it. He turned 14 in October,it's so crazy how fast time goes by. He is looking forward to high school next year. Taylor loves to hang out with his friends and they all love to go to the bike jumps and hurt themselves. What a great joy he is to us.

Logan will turn 12 in January and is looking forward to passing the sacrament in church. Since he was wee little he has always wanted to pass the sacrament. Logan is in the 6th grade and is such a joy to our family,he loves to play all sports and is looking forward to his basketball season and football season coming up soon. Logan loves to also hang out with his friends and play video games. Logan is truly a blessing in our home.

We have been blessed beyond all expectations this year. While we have had some tragic events, we have had some of the greatest blessings. We know we have a loving Father in Heaven that knows us and loves us and knows the pain we experienced this year and he knows that we needed our wonderful family and friends to get us through our trials this year and for all the prayers that were said in our families behalf, it is truly what carried us through. We love you all and hope you have a Wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year. Remember our Heavenly Father and Savior love each and every one of us. We have truly felt their love...PLEASE continue to pray for the TROOPS!

We love you all, THE STACK FAMILY

I AM SO THANKFUL FOR A FATHER IN HEAVEN THAT HEARS AND ANSWERS PRAYERS,MAYBE NOT IN THE WAY WE EXPECTED BUT HE ANSWERS IN THE WAY HE SEES FITS US.HAVING THE FAITH TO LET HIM LEAD IS THE HARD PART,BUT IM GETTING THERE...LOOKING FORWARD TO A NEW YEAR!!!

Pictures of Jason inAfganistan

Im so glad our boy is home. Here are some pictures that were sent to me from another girls whos husband is still over in Afganistan. Please continue to pray for our troops!

My worst FEAR came true

My worst fear came true. While Jason was over in Afganistan,we get a phone call on Sept. 10 from Nikki that Jason was alive but he had been shot 3-4 times. I FREAKED out needless to say! She reasurred us he was alive and he was coming home, and the good thing is,he wouldnt have to go back. I was a mess I couldnt believe my baby was shot.

We got home and listened to our messages and Jasons sweet voice was on there, Mom and Dad, its me Jay,they flew me to Bostic and then there flying me to Germany, Ive been shot, I was shot in the hand and my knee and both my thighs, Then he goes on to say, Im going in surgery right quick and I will call you guys when I get out. I love you mom and dad. Our hearts were broken, I cried for hours and then he finially called at about 3 in the morning. He was in a lot of pain,but he was ALIVE. His life was spared and we are so thankful. Sadly though his LT Tyler PARTEN was killed in the attacked and 3 others were injured and being flown with him. One just happened to be his SGt. and very good friend. Nikki is actually living with his wife so its kind of ironic that they were both shot. We left monday night to go see our baby, words cant express the relief and sadness I felt when I seen my baby coming out of surgery and them wheeling him to his room. He reached out to me and said MAMA? I told him were here honey and we love you and everything is going to be ok. He improved tremendously over the week we were there and we were able to spend a lot of time with our grandbaby Carson. Nikki has been a solid rock through this whole thing and we are so thankful for her and her courage. Jason was shot in the hand and still has a lot of shrapnel in it but its going to be ok. He was also shot in the left thigh and has over 150 stitches in it and the bullet hit the muscle and just tore all the fat and skin away. He had a hole the size of a softball, its ok. The right thigh was also shot and it actually cracked his femur bone, it also has a lot of stitches. The right knee cap was shot on one side and the bullet went through the other side. That is probaly the hardest and most painful one at this point. But hes been getting therapy and he is improving, hes walking with crutches and was just transferred to a rehab hospital. We are so thankful that his life was spared and that he is home with his beautiful wife and baby. He will be here for the birth of Landon which hes due in November.He misses his troop over thRE,but he knows too that hes thankful to be home. Please pray for our troops over in Iraq and Afganistan,they need our prayers...Thanks for all the prayers,cards,texts,meals,calls,emails,treats and hugs we recieved on Jasons behalf. We so appreciate them!GOD BLESS THE USA!
