Welcome back to work Marianne!

We've sure missed ya! :)

SLCF Christmas Part-ay!

The SLCFD party this year was held at Boondocks in Layton (yes WAY up there!). Once we passed Lagoon I knew we were way far north (note my childish land marks!). We were each given a pass that allowed us to go on the Go-Karts (Fa-REEEzing!! I also may or may not have "accidentally" spun out a snotty preteen girl.....!), a round of Mini-golf (also freezing cold!), Lazer Tag (tons of fun!!), and $5 each for games! We had a blast with our friends and won lots of tickets!

{Picture compliments of Alesha! Andrew's the one next to me with all the tickets telling me when to press the button so we can win the jackpot again!}

We ended up pooling our tickets with Andrew (who we were unaware is a ticket winning master) and got some fun prizes (like our 2 super cute Minion dolls that I love!)!

After all the fun we had worked up a pretty good appetite so we went looking for a good place to eat with our friends Andrew and Alesha and ended up at the Red Rock Cafe! The food was delicious! I scarfed my meal up very quickly as did Marcel! Alesha enjoyed her fish and chips (which also looked really good!) but Andrew wasn't as happy with his. We may have to give this place another go!
We had such a great time hanging out with friends and can't wait to do it again sometime (hopefully soon!)!

Turkey Day!

Thanksgiving this year was very last minute for us. We just weren't feeling it this year (which is terrible to say but there it is). We ended up in Salt Lake for the Neeley family dinner which turned out pretty good! The food was great and it was nice seeing everyone all together!

We have so much to be grateful for this year and are so thankful for all of the blessings we've received thus far! We have so many amazing people in our lives too! We love you all so much and thank you for everything! :)

We have a Niece!!

Our B-E-A-Utiful niece was born today, 11-22-11 at 10:40am, weighing 7lbs 12oz.! Pascal and Suzanna gave her the name of Berlin Avery Braun and it fits her perfectly! She is such a cutie with a full head of hair! We are ecstatic to welcome Berlin into our family and look forward to watching her grow!

BrEaKiNg DaWn!!!

A bunch of us crazy friends decided it would be fun to go to the midnight showing of Breaking Dawn! A few of us really got into it and bought the shirt, and collector cup/popcorn bucket! We all got tickets to see Eclipse at 9pm followed by the Breaking Dawn movie! The tickets had reserved seating so we didn't have to be in line all day to get good seats! We had so much fun and the movie was AWESOME! I love these girls!

Cast Away

For our date night I decided we'd go on a little adventure together (you know where the inspiration came from!)! The theme for this date was "CAST AWAY"!

The atmosphere was set. We were wrecked on an island so the provisions were spread throughout the room for Marcel to find!

First we found some packages that washed ashore and luckily the clothes in them were dry since we were soaked from swimming to dry land!

We started the movie and ate some dinner. We had some fish stix with mashed potatoes along with a side of shrimp! Yummm! (No pictures of this. We scarfed it up pretty quick! Give us a break though, we were starving after our traumatic experience with the plane crash and such!)! Toby even hunted down a wild pig running about and caught it!

Next we built our shelters to protect us from the elements!

Next we made our "Wilson" to keep us company on the lonely island!

After Wilson arrived we began telling him about the one's we love and decided to draw a picture of them and what they would look like on the island with us so we could look at it and remember!

After all was said and done, an account of our adventure was documented!

It was a scary adventure to a deserted island but we made it back safe and sound!

Great Friends!

I work with some pretty great people who have become really good friends! Thanks for the goodies Ferrin!! :)

"Eat or Chuck, Either way have a good day!"
