***Tyson and Kaci Adair***: June 2012

Saturday

Halloween 2011

For Halloween this year we went to our Ward Trunk or Treat which had to be held inside due to the rain. Our family went as pirates this year and many Ward members did not recognize Tyson at all when he walked in and around the church. It was pretty funny when they found out and watch their reactions. Ava had a great time playing all the games and jumping in the jump house and of course eating candy.

We also had a Halloween Party with some of our friends down at our clubhouse. All of the couples dressed up and we ate a ton of food and candy and played minute to win it games. There was a dance off between Tyson and Lisa on who can get the ping pong balls out of a Kleenex box the fastest by shaking their booties. Tyson lost by a tenth of a second but had fun doing it. There were many laughs that went on in each game that kept us entertained all night. Much fun had by everyone.

Some of the Minute to Win It Games-Moving a orange only using a banana on a string wrapped around you and stacking dice on a Popsicle stick.

Brea and Lisa squatting down to pick up paper bags with their teeth & Moving the cookie to your mouth by using your face muscles.

Shooting down cans with rubber bands- figuring how many coins in each and lining them up- All the friends that attended.

We all went out Trick or Treating and Ava had a fun time knocking on the doors and saying trick or treat!!! (We practiced on that) Jess was putting on her best pirate impression. Quick story one door we went to the man opened it up and Ava says, "Pee ewe mommy it stinks" We all tried to keep a straight face until we left and they closed the door. It was hilarious!!

Visit from Mike & Grandpa Markham

Uncle Mike and Grandpa Markham came up to visit and to go to the ASU vs Oregon football game. We were excited to have them and host them while they were here. Ava got a present to open up from Grandma Mikki and Papa Tom that they brought with them. Ava loved it but it did not suprise us that they put in a fake rat that looked pretty real. We were able to have them stay and go to church with us and it so happend that Tyson was speaking in Sacrament. Ava loved crawling over Papa Markham and sharing everyhing he had. Loved having them here to visit. Oct 2011

St. George Softball Tournament

This is the second time Tyson has played in this tournament and he loves it. They play all night long until the early morning somtimes until 5 am. He looks forward to playing ball but also staying up late playing Halo with all the guys back at the house. This year changed a bit as far as when they played. The first game they played the wind was blowing 40 mph and rain clouds were coming in. They won the first and started the second one and half way through it started to pour and there was lightning and thunder. Games got cancellled and moved to be played during the day. It was very hot and especially for Tyson since he had adapted to the cold wet Portland weather. Lets just say he wanted to collapse it was so hot. Even with the sun he had a good time with the guys.

Dared Kevin to sing at this bar and grill and he got up and did it.
It was hilarious.

Muddy fields and slippery around third.

Joe went down going into third

Saw this old man riding his bike in just his underwear.
Tells you how hot it was.

Baptism

Tyson had the opportunity of being able to baptize a investigator named Matt. Tyson was so excited and honored to be able baptize him. This wasTyson's first time ever doing this besides him doing baptism for the dead in the temple. This experience was great to see and also to see how excited Matt was to become a member of the church. Tyson said he now knows how missionaries feel when they get this kind of opportunity. It was one of the greatest spiritual experiences he has had. Sept. 2011

Grandpa Charlie and Grandma Teresa Came to Visit

Grandpa Charlie and Grandma Teresa came up during Tyson's break to visit with us and see Portland. We were so excited to see them and to play especially Ava was excited. We had such a good time going to the Tillamook Factory, going to Astoria to see sea lions and the Goonies house. We also played in the park, went and saw the Portland Temple, played Rock Band, Voodoo donuts, and Multnomah Falls. We know we really had a good time cause time flew bye fast cause we were having fun! Loved having them here. Sept 2011
