Adams Family Halloween Party

Every year, Steve and I host a pumpkin carving party with Steve's family. It has become a fun tradition where we all have a pumpkin to carve, dinner to eat, and a movie to watch. We have scary halloween music playing and the kids seem to have a good time. We started this clear back when Lyndsie was the only grandchild on that side and we have been doing it ever since. Now we have Ben and Deanne's kids, and Matthew that make it a lot more fun for everyone. Check out our pumpkins...

This is Sam's Batman Pumpkin, he wanted to carve this

because he knows Lyndsie loves Batman.

This is Brinley's

This is Sydnie's...Lyndsie chose not to do one his year.(I guess she thinks that she is too old)

this is Roxy, our chubby beagle, she is just waiting for someone to drop a piece of food or candy...she wants to celebrate the holiday too!

At the end of the party, everyone sits their pumpkins on our front porch and we take a picture of every family. It is fun to see these pictures from year to year!

P.S...the extra is Allen

A UEA Football Game

Janine planned a neighborhood football game...it was so fun. We had a large group show up and we played flag football. Sam had a good time and so did Brinley. Lyndsie came too, but she couldn't play because of her spranged ankle, so she was our photographer. When Sam heard what we were going to do, he got so excited and ran upstairs to get his football gear on. He came down with everything, including the helmet...He was ready!

This is Brad, trying on Sam's helmet. Funny!

Sam kept stealing my flag, he thought it was soooo funny!


Here is a picture of Lyndsie's beautiful ankle. Doesn't it look awful? It is going to take a long time to heal and in the meantime...let's hope she doesn't hurt anything else...Competition is just around the corner!!

Let It Snow?

Wow, it is October 12 and we have snow. I can't believe it...the weather in Utah is so unpredictable! It was a beautiful sight to look out and see everything covered in snow and we didn't just get a little...we probably got about 4 inches. Our poor trees have not recovered from last years early so storm. So I asked Brinley and Sam if they would like to go out and shake the branches a little so the tree wouldn't droop so much. And of course, their answer was YES. They did what I asked and then built the cutest snowman.

Lyndsie

Some pursue happiness, others create it!

We love you Lyndsie

I can't believe it!! Sam hurt himself again! He was jumping on the trampoline, did a front flip and hit the metal bar with his little mouth. He had three significant cuts and I knew that they needed to be stitched up. Yikes. Two were inside of his mouth and the other was acrossed his lip. When the doctor saw it, he wanted to send Sam to a plastic surgeon but then decided that he would do it himself. He wanted to stitch it without any numbing medicine because it tends to puff up the skin and so he numbed it with an ice cube. Sam did not like it, not one little bit...it hurt! He got 4 stitces without any numbing, he was so brave. We came back home and guess what? The stitches popped loose and Sam had to go back to the E.R. to get more stitches. What a sad day!!
