HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2010!

The Crew enjoyed a family Thanksgiving dinner at home. As you can see, Meridian did a great job setting the table for us. We also have our family ritual, which is, a few hours after dinner the family opens new Christmas pajama's and watches The Polar Express.

KAK CELEBRATE EARLY THANKSGIVING FEAST

Because the KAK"s were going to be up in Sanoma during Thanksgiving they decided to celebrated an early Thanksgiving dinner on Monday 11/22/2o1o in La Jolla. Araya prepared a great feast and Ken even sliced the turkey... Wow, I don't think anyone has seen him do that before!

UTAH VS SDSU!

Grandpa, Kenny, Mike and the kids went to Qualcomm Stadium for the Utah vs San Diego State football game in San Diego. We had a nice dinner at the Utes tailgate tent prior to the game. The only problem was that it rained cats and dogs throughout the first half of the game. The kids were so wet that we ended up leaving at halftime and listening to the rest of the game on the radio. The Utes had a tough start but pulled it out with a 38-34 win. Rain in So Cal? jeeez... I guess so!

"TWIN DAY" T-SHIRTS

Madison and 13 other girls were at the Crew house to make T-Shirts for the annual "Twin Day" at Temecula Middle School. Each Twin came up with there own exciting style.

SEATTLE AGAIN??

MADISON SINGS THE BLUES!

Madison had her first ever singing recital on Sunday 9/19/10. This was the first time that she has actually sang in front of "PEOPLE". She and several other girls sang in front of over 60 parents and senior citizens who were in attendance. This was no karaoke but the real deal! Hope you all enjoy her voice as much as we did. We are proud of you Maddy!! (The video is not the best so just listen to the voice!)

THE CREW VISIT SEATTLE FOR LAURIE"S REUNION

On July 31st the Crew went up to Seattle for Laurie's 25th Reunion. We also spent some time with the Fietz's in Downtown Seattle visiting such places as the Pike Place Market and visiting the local candy store (as we all know though Tom has a hard time waiting in line to pay, see picture #5). As always the kids had a great time together!
