Adult Wilfardo Party!

The annual Adult Wilfardo Party

will be held Saturday January 8, 2011

This will be after the Lythgoes' come back to school

and before Christie leaves for her Mission

We look forward to hearing from Kandis

about her mission to New York!

We'd love to have a talent sharing time.

I think grandpa has already committed Spencer

to play a number on the piano.

Hope others of you will be willing to share.

We'll have a meal together at 6:30,

enjoy each others' talents,

See how Fantasy Football is progressing,

Exchange white elephant gifts,

have fun catching up of each others' lives,

and open your annual Christmas stocking from Santa!

So mark Saturday January 8th on your calendar,

Find your best white elephant gift and come join

your cousins for a good time!

Please call Grandma by January 1st

and let her know if you will be coming

so we'll know how much food to prepare!

This is our favorite party of the year!

Barfuss Banana Split Bash

It's good to be together and get caught up on things

The Handsome Barfuss men

With General Conference coming up
next week-end October 2nd and 3rd---
The Semi-annual Barfuss Banana Split bash
will be held Saturday evening
after the Priesthood session
at Grandpa and Grandma Barfuss'

Everyone is invited to come enjoy ice cream
and good company.
Grandpa loves to have his family members
with him for Priesthood meeting
but he realizes that many of you
have leadership responsibilities that take you elsewhere---
so come if you can.
The ladies and kids are invited to come early
and enjoy getting together too.

PICNIC CANCELLED!

With a family as big as ours
there are many conflicting activities
vying for our time....
We just seem to want to do it all...
but it's impossible to be in two places at once
SO...
with scheduled baptisms, moves to Arizona, temple sealings
and a hundred other things
we're having to cancel the Farmington Picnic
which was scheduled for Saturday July 31,2010.

Thanks to Andy and Julie for inviting us to come
to their lovely backyard...maybe next year.
In the meantime we look forward to seeing everyone
at the upcoming weddings.

Picnic in Farmington!

Andy and Julie would like to invite
everyone in the Barfuss Clan
to come to their backyard for a picnic
on Saturday July 31st
10:00 a.m. for Breakfast
(call Julie if you will be coming for breakfast)
Bring your own picnic lunch,
blankets for lounging on the lawn
lawn chairs, a favorite game,
and swimming suits for water fun!
There will be volleyball, and croquet set up.
Come and enjoy visiting together

APRICOTS! APRICOTS! APRICOTS!

The Andy Barfuss family have
an abundance of Apricots on the trees
in their backyard!
You are invited to help yourself
to as many as you can use.
Just go to their house at
673 Ridgewood Circle
Farmington----
Even if they are not home
just go around the back and pick
as many as you would like.
There are ladders to use
Just be careful and don't hurt yourself.
You need to come before July 26th
because the trees will be "stripped"
on that day.

Wilfardo Wedding Shower!

This is proving to be a busy summer for
the Farmington Barfuss'
with Spencer and Sydney getting married
on the 29th of July
and Todd and Allison getting married
the 4th of September.
We decided to have a combined
Wilfardo Wedding shower
to help them get ready.

So all you Barfuss ladies and girls....
Mark Thursday July 8, 2010 on your calendar
at 6:00 p.m.
in Grandpa and Grandma's Basement

We will have a salad bar supper,
tie a quilt for each of the brides,
Shower them with gifts,
and enjoy visiting with each other.

Please RSVP to Grandma
by Monday July 5th
so we'll know how many to prepare for...
Hope to see everyone then!

Another Great Memorial Day!

The Barfuss Memorial Day Celebration

a new baby in October.

Can you tell that these guys are related?

Everyone helped prepare a hearty breakfast
of Scrambled eggs, sausages, hash browns, pancakes,
fresh fruit, juice and milk.
Everyone seemed to get enough to eat!
Thanks everyone for preparing a great breakfast.
And a special thanks for cleaning everything
up so well!

The little ones love being together with their cousins
around the little table.

The four square games seem to get more complicated
and exciting and noisy every year.
One thing for sure....the Barfuss' are a competitive bunch
and they sure seem to have FUN!
We missed everyone who couldn't be here.
Maybe next year!

Memorial Day 2010

It's time to make plans for
Memorial Day...Monday May 31st

We'll gather at the Midvale Cemetery
at 9:00 a.m.

Then we'll go to Grandpa and Grandma's
for breakfast

Call Grandma to get your food assignment.

There will be plenty of time for a game of
four square!

It's good to get together and get caught up
on everybody's life!
Hope to see you all there!

Denise's Shower

It didn't take long to tie
the traditional Barfuss quilt for
Denise and Nick.
Many hands make quick work!

We enjoyed a delicious brunch together.
Again...many hands make light work!
Thanks everyone for bringing such tasty food.
Several asked for the Quiche recipe.
We'll publish it below.

Nick appeared in time to help transport
the nice gifts home and to
remove the ribbons from Denise's hair


Ham and Cheese Quiche
(Grandma Sally's Version)

2 unbaked pie shells
Bake the empty pie shells in a 425 degree oven for 5 minutes
Remove the shells and cool slightly
Turn the oven down to 350 degrees

8 eggs slightly beaten
1 cup half and half cream
1- 1/2 cups milk
1 tsp dry mustard mixed with 1 Tb. water
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
Mix well...this is enough liquid for 2 pies

Into each baked pie shell layer...
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated swiss cheese
1/2 cup finely diced ham
2 Tbs. sliced green onion

(Optional additions)
Mushrooms Sauteed in 1 Tb. butter
Red or green pepper finely chopped
!/4 cup canned french fried onions

Place the pies on a foil covered baking sheet
Pour the egg/milk mixture carefully
over the layers of cheese and ham etc.
Bake in a 350 degree oven 45 minutes until firm
(can be tested with a toothpick)
Remove from the oven and cool at least 20 minutes
before cutting into wedges.
(Can be made the day before
and kept in the fridge
and heated when ready to serve
This actually helps the flavors to intermix
and is much easier to cut when cold)

Priesthood Session Banana Splits!

Next Saturday April 3 is General Priesthood meeting
Everyone is invited to come to Grandpa and Grandma's
after the meeting for our traditional banana splits.

Hope to see you all then!
