The Adams Fam-ily dada da da**

We have been doing the

Adams Family Pumpkin Carving Party

for about 15 years now. It is a tradition that we do at our house every year on the monday before Halloween. All of the kids look forward to it. This year was no exception and we had a fun night! The only draw back was that Grandma and Grandpa couldn't be here tonight because Grandpa Richard just recently had a hip replacement and is still home recovering.

Brinley, Sam and Myself went to buy some pumpkins first and then to the store for the ingredients to our famous homemade rootbeer...

(ok, not famous, just ordinary homemade rootbeer)

Then around six everyone started showing up and we started enjoying our dinner together. Played some games, did a little dancing and then CARVED the pumpkins.

After, we always light all of our pumpkins, put them out on the front porch and take pictures of every family. Tonight was a great night, Allen and Brent came also and helped us carve some of our pumpkins and even joined us in one of our family pictures.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Kim's Birthday!! Hip Hip Hooray

I cannot believe all the things that we have fit into one day...Kim's birthday! I have already posted 2 of the events. This morning was Brinley's soccer game and we had to get up at the butt crack of dawn, getting ready in the dark for a soccer game just doesn't seem right! When we got home, Steve went with Sam and Brinley skeet shooting, Sydnie went with her friends to get their pictures taken ( I will post those pictures when I get them) and Lyndsie and I went shopping and out for a quick lunch. Later when I got home, I cleaned out the flower beds, cut down all the dead plants and mowed the lawn(Lyndsie and Sydnie helped). Steve started to clean out the garage with the help of Sam and Brinley and then I finished helping when I was done with the lawn. Then we got all cleaned up and went to a wedding reception and then for the birthday...out to dinner. We went out to dinner with Brad and Kim for Kim's birthday to Tepenyaki's. It was so good! I loved it and I loved the company! Happy Birthday Kim...I am sure there will be more celebrating to come and I can't believe all that was accomplished on your birthday! I even did a few loads of laundry, cleaned the kitchen oh about 3 or 4 times and with out fail...cleaned up junk after the kids! Now I am exhausted so good night, sleep tight!

Skeet Shooting with Brent

A few weeks ago, Brent promised Sam that he would blow up a pumpkin before he left on his mission! Well that conversation turned into duck hunting which then turned into skeet shooting. So today Steve, Sam, Brinley, Brent, and Darrel went up Farmington Canyon with some shot guns, rifles, clay pigeons, and some pumpkins! Sam was in heaven. He had the best time. They shot pumpkins up and shot clay pigeons...drank pop...ate sunflower seeds and beef jerky...and went wheeling through the canyon (well sort of). Brent has been coming over to our house to visit all through the summer and Sam has really enjoyed having him here. A couple of times, Sam has even snuck away and went over to Brent's house to see if he could go long boarding with him for a minute...and Brent would go...what a good guy. Brent is leaving on his mission on November 4, he will be going to the Albuquerque, New Mexico mission.

We will miss him.

SOCCER!

Early this morning Brinley had her last soccer game in Roy against Rampage! It was an action packed game with the ending score only 1 to 0, our favor. Whew! We love to go and watch Brinley play soccer. She does such a great job and she is so fun to watch...actually her entire team does a fantastic job. Brinley loves her new team and all of the parents are great. It is like a little soccer family. We will all be traveling over Thanksgiving to play in a tournament in St. George. It should be a lot of fun with super fun families!

Last Clearfield Football Game

Tonight was Lyndsie's last football game to cheer at during her junior year. Clearfield played Viewmont and lost. No worries though...falcon pride will live on!

Sparky, Courtney, a football player, and Lyndsie!

Witch's Brew + Bowling!

Here are 3 of the Witches before the Witch's Brew...trying to win a game of bowling! Not happening today though:(

Fasten your corset & Grab your black cat...

Be sure you dust off your favorite Witch Hat!

We are celebrating...

All Hallows Eve @ the 2nd annual Witch's Brew

I had a great time at the party with all of the other Witchs! We had yummy potions to eat and drink and fun entertainment! We went on a fun Halloween scavenger hunt where we buzzed around town finding different Halloween things...like hursts, spiders, scary movies, graves, etc. It was very exciting. Lots of fun friends and great witch's costumes! Tonia Jardine is the most creative person I know...thanks to Tonia for always having such fun parties! Some other fun witches there were Char, Teresa, Kim, Cathy, Lynette, Marla, Deseree, Kristy and of course the other Lori! It was kinda fun putting together my costume too but my eye lashes look a little clownish...

dontcha think?

Last Home Football Game

This is the last home football game for Clearfield. It is always fun to go to the football games to watch Lyndsie. It is also fun because a lot of our neighbors are there too. We have a fun time all sitting together trying to stay warm. The best part though is watching Lyndsie cheer. Sam has a great time because some of his friends are there like Jake Frie and Wyatt Christensen. Brinley has Delany and McKhall there to run around with too...so everyone but Sydnie loves to go to the football games! Lyndsie has had a fun time cheering at the football games because she gets to support #9...Darren and she gets to cheer beside Rhiannan. Go Falcons!
