Happy Thanksgiving 2009 to all. Here are the pictures. It was kinda slim here this year. Cassy went to Utah to be with Marion's family and bring Jocy's stuff home. Nathan and crew were in Utah for in-and-out burger and happened by Bobby's. Cindi was in Spain as usual. BUT Jeff came down for soccer tourneys and brought Jordan and Bradly ( friends from IWCC ) down to the tourney also. So last night they stayed here and then joined us at the Holst for Thanksgiving dinner Shan sets a nice table and she and Ron cut the turkey mom made her lovely rolls, funeral bean casserole, Sweet potatoes we ate till we were sick and then Jeff, Brad and Jordan had to leave early to help with the tourney in San Diego.
Hope everyone around the world in our families had a good day - also- Love ya'll Dad
I threw in the picture of the Holst's house to demonstrate the weather on November 25th 2009. Sunny and bright and 80+ degrees. I love California!!!

HaPPy THaNksgIViNg to everyone!!

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

LOVE YOU.

Jeff and Bob had a great time in Seattle at the MLS CHAMPIONSHIP GAME Rsl beat the Galaxie.
So the boys were happy. They got to fly to and from Seattle with the team, go sight seeing and the invite only post game party. My celebrity boys were more like groupies for the weekend if you know what I mean. These pictures were taken with a cell phone so they are crappy but at least they are something. There were many more and hopefully Bob or Jeff will write on this blogg about their experiences cause I could make any sense out of the twitter tweeting that Jeff did.
well the pictures would not upload so it is up to the boys to get something on this blogg

Memory Request #1

So we have been talking a lot about Family History in Gospel Doctrine lately and I guess it made me want to know more. I am requesting memories of our family.

Dad(Ed),
Can you blog us about an experience you had when you were living in Montana?

Cassy,
Can you blog us about an experience you had when you were living in New Mexico?

Mom(Marie),
Can you blog an experience about life growing up in Provo?


Just a quick story- 1 or 2 paragraphs. Thanks

Thank you Gina for posting the field trip pictures. Lauren and Milli are just so precious we could look at their pictures all day long. And Stacia and Landon as well

A Field Trip and a Birthday

This year I have Milli in a neighborhood Joy School and last week was her very first field trip. They have been learning about community helpers so we took them to the Lehi Fire Station. They loved it and they even got some cute fireman hats to take home.

Lauren got to come with us so she was a happy camper. She gets pretty mad whenever I drop Milli off without her.

Bobby's Birthday was yesterday, I think he turned 29 (which makes me 21). We had a little family get together for him and the kids got him a new Wii game. I hope you had a happy birthday babe!! We Love you!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

MAY THIS NEXT YEAR BE BETTER

Almost three months to the day I was able to exchange out the 1999 family photos with the Aug 2009 family photos. I think they are great and I think everybody in them is great. Hope you think so too!

Guess what Cindi your back on top. I guess the girls are just taking a look around the places in and around Washington where the movie is supposed to take place and not to see the premier of New Moon.
I found out my error by looking up New Moon premier on Google. Surprise!!!! An invitation only Premier will take place in LA on Monday the 16th regular release takes place here on the 20th. SO YOU WIN CINDI IN SPAIN -- that is unless you buy a pirated premier CD here on the 17th but that would be cheating so Barcelona is a WINNER just like Cindi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUMMER!!

UNFORTUNATELY CINDI THE GIRLS ARE FLYING TO SEATTLE THIS WEEKEND TO SEE THE PREMIERE OF NEW MOON THAT WILL HAPPEN IN SEATTLE BEFORE IT IS RELEASED ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD ---EVEN SPAIN----SORRY!

YOU LOSE BUCKWHEAT!!

LOVE
DAD

NEW MOON

This post is so much fun I posted it here and on my blog!!

Not to be mean or anything, but to show you all that sometimes there is an advantage of living over here in Spain...take a look at the DATE on this poster (I know the day and month are backwards for you USAers) yup that´s right, it comes out here 2 days BEFORE it comes out in the USA!!

So, I´ll be thinking about all you sister-in-laws and cousins and friends while I´m in the theater in Barcelona watching it on Wednesday - in english!! And I´ll try not to post anything that would ruin it for you all!!!

GUILLAUME ANDRE DUFFORT

It's always fun for me to call

and talk with you, but today

was extra special because

I got to sing 'Happy Birthday' too!

I wish I was there to enjoy

the 'gourmet dinner'

you are making for your

Birthday guests. It made me

hungry just hearing about all

the wonderful foods you were

going to serve!! I didn't hear about

any kind of dessert or cake, but

I'm sure you will have something

very special and great tasting

to celebrate your Birthday!!

Remember what I said,

about this being your first

'decade' birthday - you will have many

more 'decades' to go!

I love you very much, you are my

Guilluameee-no-meee!

Love, Grandma Cass

HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED IT AS MUCH

LOVE MOM AND DAD.

Almost forgot the Brett Webb family visit. Brett, Carrie, Carries mom Bonnie and dad Roy, Kelsey, Tyler, Carson and Braydan. They came Thursday and hit Disney Land Friday and Saturday and went to mass at the jewel of the missions in SJC on Sunday a nice dinner Sunday afternoon and then a couple of burry hours at the beach. The kids were really good and seemed to have had a great time during their visit. Only took a couple of pictures during Sunday dinner.

More trick or treaters! As you can see Cassy came over to enjoy the evening and laugh at her silly brother. It was a good evening!

Cindi misses Halloween and asked that I take some pictures of the kids and families that came by our house for treats. Fortunately there were not any tricks. We had a fairly good turn out this year I think because the economy is so bad that the parents wanted their kids to gather in a years supply of sugar and from the bags I saw they were doing a very good job of meeting their goals.
