Aunt Patti turned 60!

Our biggest update since our last one is that Patti turned 60. We celebrated her birthday with a limo ride around the Minneapolis lakes followed by dinner at a restaurant that has bowling and bocce ball - it was a great time!

Gustafson Family Update

Brief update for the Moberg branch of the Gustafson family -- you can read about all of our adventures (and most of our meals!) in detail -- with pictures -- on Kevin's blog. I'll just say, "We're busy" and that about takes care of things.

Sharing a cute story!

Saturday night, Frank and I watched the Wisconsin Game in a bar with some Wisconsinites.  As you know, it was a close, exciting, game.  Towards the end of the game one guy looked at us and said, "This is the beauty of living in Minnesota.  You never have to experience this kind of stress"!.

Story for Todd

I thought of you when I read this letter to the editor in the Mpls Tribune.

A high school basketball ref wrote that, at a game the past weekend, a fan was getting loud and obnoxious.  He went over and told the fan that if he wanted to be loud, do it to cheer on his team and to get off the ref's back.  After the game, one of the coaches came up to him and thanked him for finally getting the school superintendent to shut up.

Update from Denver

Hey all,

Since it was my mom's idea that we all get better about posting on the blog, I decided that I had better find a couple of minutes to post some pictures since she gave you all an update.

Picks Due THURSDAY!!!

Just to let everyone know, you have until THURSDAY at 10:00 A.M. MST to get your picks in.

NCAA Pool is Set Up

Okay, everyone, the pool is set up through Yahoo.com again.  Those who were in last year should have gotten an email and a link to follow to get to it.  Those who were not in last year must have or create a Yahoo! account and then to Yahoo! sports and find the NCAA bracket pool link.  When you get there, choose to join a private pool, and this is the info you will need:

Just an Update

Hi to Everyone!  Since I was the one with the brilliant idea of each family posting so we could bring this blog back to life, I decided I'd better get with it!

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN: MOREY MARCH MADNESS

This is just a heads-up:  The tournament will begin next week.

Smith News.....

Well I have to agree with Uncle Terry and Laura, we are ready for winter to be over.  Even though that will mean the annual Spring Flooding we get to deal with in Fargo, I think we are ready for it.

Since Laura brought everyone up to speed on what has been going on, I thought I would add a few more pictures of Rhett:

Smith Update

Hello Everyone,

First of all, I agree with uncle Terry -- I am damm tired of winter too!!!! 

It is naptime at my house, and all three--or I should say four (Dad)--are down for a nap, so I am going to make this short and sweet.  I figured the pictures are the most important part anyway -- most of them are from Christmas.
