San Francisco & Christmas
Taraleigh, Mariah, & Taven
Taven, Jane, Kyson & and Baby Simon
Taven just marveling at the Gingerbread Tractor. It took him several minutes to decide what candy he should eat from out Gingerbread House City.
Taven & Robbie about to touch a sting ray the San Francisco Aquarium. They were a little too hard on the sting rays, skates, and Tiger Sharks.
Taven holding Carsten. As you can tell Carsten is pretty freaked out just hoping that Taven doesn't Bear Hug him like usual.

"Maybe Christmas doesnt just come from the store... Maybe Christmas means something more" -Dr. Seuss
I loved this wonderful Christmas Devotional by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf. It helped me to slow down my busy holiday season and to focus on the true meaning of Christmas- Christ. Your hearts will be lifted and your spirit gladdened I promise. I hope we all rejoice in Christ this Christmas....
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
LOVE,
THE DUFFEYS

Since its November- the month to show your attitude of gratitude...
I thought I'd share a what I'm thankful for list...
I have watched all three boys by myself for,what's been at the most, 4 hours awake. Yeah, I know.....your thinkin'.... "AweHAH! I bet they were asleep at nite..." but no, oh no they were awake (you could ask the neighbors) and they were alive and so was I when my beautiful wife came back...not that I was counting down the minutes/seconds/nanoseconds!!! or anything like that!
So...as you can plainly see...........I (and I would like to say that with the sort of charisma that you only see in the movies)....am thankful for a beautiful loving wife...who....with two 4 month olds and a 2 and half year old (who can be very "travieso" at times) has the house pretty darn clean most of the time and dinner startin' by the time I get home. Again, I am indeed thankful for being married to such a beautifullovingenduringenergeticfunfilledhappywife! I am also thankful for such strong healthy boys, a good job, and living in this great country!!!
Please take the time to watch this video clip...I really enjoy this story...It reminds me of how such simple things can tremendously bless the lives of others. (I can't watch it though it always makes me tear up...) It's called "The Lessons I learned as a Boy"
To watch it...I believe you just copy and paste the link in a new window then click on the play button
Mom with Cannon (black shirt) and Carsten (white shirt)
I really love this picture because it shows what a typical day for Taraleigh is really like all by herself until I get home...She's truly Amazing!!!.....wait...we're missing Taven!

Halloween 2010
Left to Right: Me (football player) holding Carsten (a pumpkin), Cannon (a horse) is asleep, being held by my handsome hubby Trent (dressed as Jason) and Tave-y Baby is in the front dressed as a dragon.
Here's that handsome hubby again- this time dressed as a hippy for drug free week at school. (I thought that was kinda funny- hippy day during drug free week... Who planned that one?? ha ha ha:) they must be voting for prop 19)
So cute... Wish my camera wasn't so fuzzy, but you get the picture: three happy & handsome boys! (Cannon in the beanie on the right and Carsten on the left)
The whole clan: left to right: seth, leshelle, taven, nona, bobbo holding carsten, kaniesha (no the cast isn't part of the costume- that's real- she broke both the bones in her arm at the growth plate- yuck!), me, cannon & trent
Our pumpkins- seth carved the plane (he will probably kill me for calling just an plane, but sorry bud- I don't remember what it's real name is) and I carved the bat and stars (really fast... as if you cant tell by looking at it:)
