happenings as of late...

we have been up to some fun stuff lately here is what we have been doing,

ashlan and nick martin welcomed baby boy
bronson pearce martin
11/9/09 6:34 pm
8 lbs. 9 oz. 22 in.

he is a cutie, and you can't tell in this picture but garrett was nervous holding him. every time i looked over at him, his face was classic-a little frightened. he hasn't been around a ton of babies and it is cute when he is because he is so gentle and just so worried about how fragile they are..he will be a very good dad one day.
happy BIRTHDAY bronson!

today is garretts nephew, spencers birthday! i don't know if it was sweet...but it was 16!
we celebrated saturday night with a surprise party with his high school friends and all the family. his dad got him a jeep cherokee..watch out salt lake city! i guess we now have 2 nephews with the same birthday.
happy birthday spencer!

we went golfing this last saturday afternoon with the wings at bountiful ridge. it was lots of fun and a beautiful day, the last two holes got a little chilly once the sun went down, but it was a great afternoon! thanks for inviting us guys.

the ladies

they boys.

there were tons of deer on the course, linds was worried she was going to hit one..luckily she did not.

can't wait for new moon..only 10 days!

ashley and brady took us to the jazz game the other night..
they played the spurrs and they won! (can't remember the score but it wasn't too close)

sisters

the browns, thanks again for taking us! we always have fun with you guys

Happy Halloween!

halloween was fun this year, it started off for me at the trunk or treat on main street in bountiful. i work on main street so i always attend that, and it was jam packed this year with lots of cute little ones. i was sad i missed the real salt lake playoff game with garrett, but at least he got to go. they won 1-0! they play their second playoff game this thursday, go real! then we headed to the "senior brown residence" (bradys parents) for a little party with some friends. everyone came in costume and the browns made great hosts with great food!

the cute festive items of food and decor., done by my cute sister, ashley brown.

my love and i were
sweeney todd -the demon barber of fleet street -
and mrs. lovitz - the meat pie queen -
from the broadway play sweeney todd.
we thought it fitting with me being a hairdresser.
i truly look evil and am really not this unhappy all of the time
garrett really does not want to kill me..i don't think

the marshs and the wings went as polygamists
they were both surprising each other and showed up as the same thing,
i guess cousins think alike!
some classic portraits of the happy family...

my cousin and one of my favorite people - emmy (the blue fairy)
and her FIANCE - aaron (pinnochio)
they got engaged on halloween, so happy and excited for these two!

the rest of the group:
another duplicate two sets of the swine flu - the christensens and the browns
the thomas' as themselves, the stuarts as 80's rockers,
and the brodericks as clowns.

all in all it was a great halloween. thanks again ashley and brady for all your hard work! p.s. does anyone know why my pictures upload kind of blurry? i don't get it they are not blurry on my computer at all, just when i upload them onto here..if you have any advice please help me!
