TONIGHT

We're heading to Ashley's house tonight - 7:30pm. Don't forget your wedding photos and your calender. We're gonna try and plan the next few outtings while we're all together. Also, just a reminder about the potluck on Saturday @ 3:30pm. I'll email you with the place as soon as we have that figured out.

IDEAS

So, here are some of the ideas so far...

1. Cookie Exchange - bring a batch of your favorite cookies along with the recipe. We'll sample them (mmmm...) and then take a bunch home

2. 80's night! - Dress up 80's like and go out neon bowling or something fun

3. Temple night - go together to the temple

4. Make music videos/ mini movies and watch them

5. Get all "dolled" up and meet our hubbies for a night out

6. Have a campfire with our hubbies - roast marshmallows/hot dogs/ whatever

7. Afternoon picnic with the kids et al

8. Meet at the church and go for walks

9. Join and aerobics class

10. Do pilates/Richard Simmons workout

11. Smoothie night - Bring the ingredients to make your favorite smoothie and we'll sample them all

12. Taste tests - try out different brands of chocolate milk/bottled water/whatever and see which is the "favorite"

So those are the ones from the list that I can remember off hand. If you have any other ideas, please add them.

Here are a few pictures from our last get together. We had a blast playing Guitar Hero and looking at wedding photos. We're definately gonna have to pull out the wedding photos again, 'cause I want to see the rest of your pics. Michelle brought the YUMMIEST cake ever. Thanks so much for that. And thanks Abby for hosting it was awesome (and your house is super cute!)

Abby and Natasha

Abby - you're not reaaaally camera shy are you?

It was so cute - Liv fell asleep in my arms. She was all partied out.

I'm making an executive decision... Our next night out will be on THURSDAY the 17th. I don't know what we'll do or where we'll go, but that's the night - so mark it on your calender!! We'll have a "planning meeting" so come with ideas of what sounds fun for the next few months.

Also, Ashley and I were talking and thought it'd be fun for everyone to use this blog to post recipes. I'm ALWAYS at a loss for ideas for lunch and dinner. So if you have any favorites or classics, or ideas for picky kids, WHATEVER just post them on here. I'll resend the author invite just incase you don't have it anymore. Sign up for blogger (if you haven't already got an account) and post away. Cya soon!

OPM

It's that time again...

Our next night out will be :

OPM @ 5pm

Wednesday April 18th.

If anyone is in need of a ride, let me know.

The time might change, but I'll let you all know if that is the case.

Plan on 5pm unless you hear otherwise.

Hope everyone had a great Easter weekend.

Next Night Out

... will be at my place @ 7pm on THURSDAY the 5th. I'll email everyone with my address and directions. As for what to bring? Please bring one of your favorite recipes. It can be anything- lunch ideas, dinner, salad, dessert, whatever! If you feel like making it for everyone to try, that would be awesome! If not, no biggie. If you want to bring something yummy to munch on that would be great!!!
Can't wait to see ya'll there!!

Comments:
- "I really liked the atmosphere of the restaurant and I had a great time, but I didn't love the food. It wasn't gross but it wasn't great!"

- "Not gonna lie, probably wont eat here again. I have been to a lot nicer Japanese restaurants, cheaper and better quality food. It wasn't a horrible experience, just not the greatest. At least the company was great!!!"

- "I'd say it was more the company I enjoyed. My food was good, but when they brought out the teriyaki chicken, I remember ordering that when I was there last, and remembered it wasn't that great of an experience. Kinda greasy and didn't sit well. But the dish I ordered this time was awesome. I guess it all depends on what you order at the restaurant. The guy didn't charge me for my extra sauce, and I think that's pretty classy when they waive things like that. All in all a good experience, ...definately a restaurant you have to be in the mood for, flavour-wise."
