Halloween Party - Francis Style





Every year Cherisse and Tyler do a Halloween Party. This year we didn't know if it was going to happen because Cher had surgery a couple weeks before.  But.... of course Cherisse couldn't let a party slow her down. There were 10 couples total. We had a great time and plenty of entertainment. 
Cherisse's house looked amazing with all her Halloween decorations. Love that girl.
Here are a few pictures of the fun night.

Every time I saw Aric I couldn't help buy chuckle. Hilarious!


I would be afraid too Sam



First part of the night we just visited with the other couples. Then Cherisse had a whole Fear Factor game planned for the rest of the night and man was it disgusting but fun at the same time. 
Here is how it went;

FIRST ROUND: Bucked of Ice Cold Water filled with plastic insects. One person would have to dip their feet in water and with their toes transfer the bugs into there partners mouth and then into another bowl. Started out with 9 Teams. The first 6 team done advanced to the next round



That specific competition wasnt' too bad. A little cold water never hurt anyone. 
Ry and Sam, Courts, Gourlies, Leavitts, Clarks, Gibbs all advanced.  



ROUND 2: Small container of muscles, sardines, snails and anchovies all ground together. One person would have to brush the teeth of their partner. First 4 advance








It was seriously so gross. Great fun but rather disgusting. 
Gibbs, Clarks, Gourlies and Courts all advanced 


ROUND 3 - These were pheasants that had been killed earlier that day by Alan. One person was blind folded and then had to arrange a bird starting with the head, neck, body and feet. 







In this competition I volunteered to be the one to arrange the bird. I didn't think it would be that bad but this was the worst one for me. Once I felt a birds head I was completely grossed out and actually felt bad for the poor bird. I had to gather myself together and complete the task because this is fear factor and it all comes down to a mind game right?

The two couples that advanced were the Clarks and US!  

LAST ROUND: Task was to eat a McDonalds kids meal and the first one to finish wins. The only catch is they took the happy meal,  put it in a blender and mixed it all together.  Here is a video of the final competition and proof of the WINNERS. 



Thats right! Gourlie's Win Fear Factor Halloween!!!

Thank you Tyler and Cherisse for a fun Halloween Party! You out did yourselves once again.

Happy 3 Years!

10/10/12 Happy Anniversary

                    
                   3 Whole Years have come and gone. We have had our tough times but Jason and I both feel very grateful for all the blessings in our lives. We both have such tremendous families. They give us such love and support and have made us the people we are today. 
             
                   For our Anniversary my mom got us a 2 night say at Meadow Lake Resort near Kalispell. It was nice to just get away for a few days and leave the work and stress of life behind us. We lazed around on Sunday and then Monday we spent the day shopping. For dinner we ate at Famous Daves which was deliciious. The ride down to Meadow Lake was so beautiful. The leaves on the trees were all changing colors and with the snow in the background it sure made for beautiful scenery. 




 










On our actual Anniversary Day we spent the night in, had a nice dinner and then watched a movie. I love Jason more every day. We both get frustrated at each other somedays but we communicted and compromise very well. I can not imagine my life with anyone else. 3 years have come and gone so quickly. Heres to many more.  



Even though we said no gifts, Jason came home with flowers. There were so beautiful.
