Banff Canada Day 2

If you read the earlier post, Banff Canada Day 1, you already know that I got off to a shaky start at skiing. So we decided that we would take it easy on our second day. We looked around some shops and we took the gondola to the top of the mountain. Enjoy the pics!

You can't see very well because of the glare, but in the window is a wolf's head. (Not a real wolf's head!)


Joey & I


In the gondola on the way up...He only looks calm and collected!


If you haven't seen this on my facebook page, this is my "What are you getting me into again, Joey?!?!" look.


Joey looks like he is in a painting!


Joey and I again


Gorgeous!


This is me taking advantage of the beautiful backdrop!


And, again!


Joey


Us again


hahaha! This is me "ralphing" (not really) along the side of the mountain. If you could have seen how high up we were, you probably would want to "ralph" too!

Banff Canada Day 1

Our first full day in Canada, we decided to go to Lake Louise to snow ski. I've posted some pictures of the day. Let's just put it this way...Lake Louise did not like me and I did not like Lake Louise. haha. It all began when I was on my way to the bunny slope and crashed through a metal gate. Yes, what a way to start a lovely day. lol. Then, after a couple of trips down the bunny slopes, I decided to go down the easiest green. Well, the easiest green, wasn't so easy. To make a long story short, after a panic attack, some crying, and a few trips on my butt down the slopes, the ski patrol carted me off. When I say carted, I mean carted, I was strapped onto a sled (in the back) where I was wrapped up like a burrito in a blue tarp while the guy had to ski me down the rest of the mountain. Unfortunately, Joey was a little timid about taking my picture because he wasn't sure how I would react...I wish he would've...at that point, I was just happy to be on my way down! And, if it makes you feel any better about my skiing abilities...I saw plenty of burritos coming down the hill. haha. More Bannf Canada stories to come....TO BE CONTINUED!

As Promised!!

Here are some goofy pictures of me from when I had my lasik done. The first picture is of me getting ready...I had a valium to calm my nerves and Joey was laughing saying I looked like the lunch lady, so I simply replied: "Would you like some pizza and corn?" You just had to be there.

Then the next day, we had some friends over, Tracey and Joe, and Tracey's daughter, Lexi. Joey cooked the best kabobs and I was impressed with my chocolate fondue. The next picture shows me stirring the fondue with my goggles on. Always remember safety first! haha. And, if you look closely, you'll also see that I have my "Got your tickets...to the gun show?" shirt on. lol. Never a dull moment around the Scarborough house.

With all that being said, I can't believe how well I can see! Lasik is one of the best things I've done! My left eye still has a little healing per the doctor, but my overall vision is 20/20 and should be even better in the next couple of months!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

My sister-in-law posted this on her blog and I wanted to share. Also, coming to a blog near you very soon...Goofy pictures of me before and after my lasik surgery. lol

Happy 2010!

Happy New Year! Joey and I, along with J.W. Morris have decided that each year we will travel to somewhere special. I had to work on New Year's Day this year (welcome to the wonderful world of retail!) ;) so we decided to stay in Tallassee and have a few friends over at the house. Last year we were able to travel to Savannah, Georgia where one of my dearest friends, Alex and her husband, Mike live. We had so much fun! This year, we had just as much fun ringing in the new year with great friends...(Tracey, Joe, Lexi, Elizabeth, Sarah, and J.W.) We cooked hamburgers and hung out by the fire that J.W. and Joey made outside. I did fall asleep on the couch at 11:00 p.m. lol, but woke up about 5 minutes before midnight!! Here are a few pictures from New Year's Eve!

Better Late than Never

This year I hosted a Christmas party for the "girls" at my house. We did the same thing last year and it was so much fun, we decided to do it again this year. We had great food, conversation, and of course played Dirty Santa. I wish I had more photos to share, but I didn't take very many with my camera. I know some others did so I'm hoping I get some more pictures and I can share those on the blog then. I've also included a few pictures of just Joey and I in front of our Christmas tree (the first Christmas we spent together as a married couple!)

Pictures from the weekend

I found these pictures on Leigh Anne's blog and thought I would share here, too. These are from this past weekend!

Christmastime is a coming!

Well, I can't believe it, but another year has gone by! Joey and I have been busy with Christmas parties this week. On Thursday, we had the Scarborough and Weldon Christmas party at Casa Napoli in Wetumpka. On Friday, our friends Brad and Ashley Moon had a Christmas open house at their beautiful home. We took Georgia Anne, Jack, and Daniel along for the ride. I wish I would have thought to take some pictures! This morning, we saw all of the family at Breakfast with Santa! Tonight, we went to Johnny G's and ate with the Butler clan. It has been busy, but we are finally in the Christmas spirit! Joey and I enjoyed listening to Christmas tunes all day!

Merry Christmas from the Scarboroughs!
