A Wedding to Remember!

Congratulations Josh and Kat. We are so happy for you!

We enjoyed visiting while we waited for the ceremony to begin.

Heidi looked wonderful even though she felt crummy...

what a horrible time to get the flu

Mason had a great time too.

Tylie was a darling flower girl. She did such a good job.

She was not one bit shy about the whole thing

Lots of beautiful children enjoyed getting to know each other.

The money dance was a highlight of the evening. Kat performed a beautiful dance just for Josh!

The music was loud and had a beat that couldn't be resisted. Even Heidi, who felt crummy couldn't keep from dancing!

Josh and Kat were honored at the head table.

Grandpa loves those "one on one" with the Wilfardos









Cutting the wedding cake.

Another Great Reunion!

Tying Josh and Kat's quilt

The "Kick Off" Bar-B-Q at the Becks started the runion off with a bang.

There was plenty of good food, fun activities and lots of visiting.

The late night movie and sleep-over was an added bonus.

The setting at the Midvale Park couldn't have been more perfect.

The temperature, the privacy, the tasty food, the fun games, and just being together

made it ideal.

Our bowling activity was exciting as the cooperative, competitive nature of

the Barfuss genes was exhibited.

The guy at the bowling alley was a bit overwhelmed with our enthusiasm.

It was especially fun to watch the little ones with their first bowling experience.

It was so nice to be in the comfortable air conditioned bowling alley on a very hot

August first afternoon!

Our service project at Aunt Mary's condo was unbelievable.

The energy and strength of youth united in a common purpose

exemplified the spirit of service in every way!

Thank you, thank you!

The younger ones went swimming at the West Jordan pool

while the older ones worked.

Thanks Jennifer for helping with the swimming

Another delicious meal finished off the reunion.

The Wasden's back yard was shady and cool--

a perfect setting.

Many hands make light work. Visiting and stitching put the binding

on the quilt for Josh and Kat.

A rousing game of Volleyball was the icing on the cake

to a fun filled reunion.

It's amazing that anyone had any energy left after a day of work and play!

Having the reunion "at home" made it possible for more family members to participate.

Those who had to work were able to make it to at least some of the activities.

A big thank you to Stacie for her efforts in making the 2009 reunion THE BEST!

Family Reunion Reminder!

Remember the fun we had together last year

playing with cousins and catching up

on each other's lives.

Be sure to circle July30, 31 and Aug. 1, 2009 for three fun filled days
Watch for further announcements soon!

Hope you can attend some or all of the events planned.

Free 50 gallon water barrels

Carl Wasden has access to plastic 50 gallon barrels that can be used to store water.

They previously held corn syrup so nothing toxic has been in them.

If you are interested call Heidi at 801-254-4124.

Wedding time again...

We are excited to announce that we have another wedding to celebrate. Josh and Kathryn have decided to get married On August 13th. Mark your calenders and watch the mailbox. We are thrilled to have Kat join our family and wish the very best for them!

"The More we Get Together...."

We met at the Midvale Cemetery as usual on Memorial Day morning

and enjoyed being together

and sharing information and feelings about Grandma LaRue

and about being a family.

Grandpa with the Wilfardo's and the Wilfy's

Quite a posterity!

It was fun to see where everyone fit in.

The annual Four Square game was as intense and competitive as usual.


We enjoyed a delicious breakfast together.
the weather was perfect.
We had a big crowd but we always miss those who couldn't be with us.


The cheering section for the four square game
gave us a chance to visit and enjoy being together.
Thanks everyone for coming!
This day is a Spring highlight for Grandpa and Grandma!

The Perfect Wedding!

Mr. and Mrs. Duncan Glenn ready for pictures.

The ceremony was beautiful and so was the bride.
The reception was fun as everyone joined Liz and Duncan
in the party of all parties!

The evening was perfect--no wind, no rain, with an overcast sky

to keep the temperature comfortable.

The reception line gave guests a chance to greet the bride and groom.

They are on their way for an Eternity of Happiness together.

We wish them well!

Memorial Day 2009 already!

HEADS UP!! MEMORIAL DAY IS EARLY THIS YEAR.

Monday May 25th

These pictures show that it was pretty chilly last year.

Hope it will be warmer this year.

We'll plan the regular meeting at the Midvale Cemetery

at 9:00 am

cemetery visit.

Give grandma a call for your food assignments.

Hope to see everyone on Monday May 25th!

A good time to keep in touch with everyone

and remember our heritage.

The handsome members of the family!

Kandis's Mission has begun!

Wednesday May 6, 2009---Kandis's Mission begins today! She is excited to get ready to

enter the MTC!
We enjoyed a special "Family Home Morning" where Kevin, Kandis' Stake President, set her apart as a Missionary.
Jake, Kandis and Courtney blended their voices together in a musical testimony.
Each member of the Lythgoe family, as well as Grandpa and Grandma Barfuss and Grandpa and Grandma Lythgoe, bore sweet testimonies and shared favorite missionary scriptures.
The Spirit was strong and grateful tears were shed
as Kandis commits the next 18 months to the Lord.
We are so proud of her!


The Lythgoe Siblings enjoyed a group hug as the meeting concluded.

Everyone is ready to travel to the Provo MTC.

Bye Kandis--We love you!
