SFW Dinner

We were able to attend the Juab SFW banquet this year (1-31-15) and boy did we have fun!  We had a good time visiting with friends and family and supporting this good cause.  We had a yummy dinner of pulled pork, green beans, baked potato, green salad and brownies and ice cream.  

Luke didn't stay long before leaving to go with Aunt Jenny.  We decided that with the measles and whooping cough outbreak going around we would play it safe and keep him away from the crowds.  He was maybe with us only thirty or so minutes before leaving.  He had a good rest of the night being spoiled and snuggled by his cousins and Jenny and Cody.  Thanks for taking him guys!

Tyke had a blast running around the place like a little wild man!  He had fun putting our raffle tickets in the buckets (unfortunately we didn't win anything) and he loved the little Nerf gun he won at the kiddie game.  He didn't care too much for the dinner that was served.  He ate a couple of bites of a baked potato from his Aunt Steph because she informed him it was ice cream.  He fell for it too until he got a bite that had a speck of sour cream on it which ruined the "ice cream" lie for him.  Before we were finished with dinner Grampa Terry took Tyke to find desert.  He loved his desert, brownies and ice cream, and would get super upset with Grampa if he tried to take a bite.  Tyke is stingy when it comes to ice cream and doesn't like to share.  Grampa Terry had us put Tyke's name in on the "guess the score" game.  Lucky bugger got it right and won a giant bucket of .22 shells!

We didn't have much luck with any of the raffles we put in on but we won a huge painting of an elk from the auction.  Funny story.  Chad really liked the painting but when it came time to auction it off he was no where to be found, he was busy chasing Tyke.  Well, I love auctions even though I don't attend many and I got in a small bidding war for this painting.  I won it and was so excited!  I started explaining to Stephanie where I was going to have it hung in our house and while I was explaining and waving my arm in the air I inadvertently bid on a bucket of bullets.  The auctioneer finally caught my attention and asked if I was bidding thirty?  I was so embarrassed I agreed to it, not knowing what I was bidding on and he went on his way saying, "OK, we have $130 right here!" and pointed at me.  I panicked because I had just bid $130 on who knows what, after just spending nearly $300 on the art work!  Luckily there was one more bid and I got off the hook.  I sat on my hands after that!

We came home with a few prizes: .22 shells to last us a lifetime, a neat painting and Tyke with his Nerf gun.  We missed having our little Luke with us but we know he had more fun at Aunt Jenny's.  All in all it was a great night and we're already looking forward to next years banquet when all four of us can attend!
