Family Photos

    We do family photos every year around Thanksgiving but since we are living in Portland and did not come down until Christmas we did them after the holidays.  We went to Freestone park in Gilbert and brought an old truck and some other props to use to try and be as creative and different to make the pictures great.  We were even lucky enough to be able to use the merry go round before it was open to the public.  Ava was still battling her sickness she had and was not to happy about taking pictures.  We did get a few good ones though and thought the pictures turned out great.

Our beautiful girl posing for the camera!!!  Except when she was just done and miserable.

New Years Party with the Adair's

    The gift that was given from all the siblings on the Adair side for Christmas was the gift of time.  To make this happen they planned a party New Years Eve for the adults to get together and eat dinner, play games, light off fireworks, and sing some karaoke.  There was a ton of food and candy to last us more than a month.  We played some games were we acted out some person, described them, and last only use one word.  It was funny to see how everyone acted out the different characters.  There were many belly laughing moments.  At midnight we went outside and Dave had some fireworks were set off to start our New Year!!!  The night did not stop there as a few of the siblings wanted to sing and do karaoke and sang late into the early to late morning.  It was so much fun and one of the best gifts given that year for Christmas.

Tyson had this idea of getting a picture of everyone giving their spouse a New Years kiss.  At first it was kind of a joke to see who would do it and who wouldn't turned out to be a good thing as everyone was a good sport about it.

 

Kaci's 30th Birthday!!!

        Happy 30th Birthday Kaci!!!!  I woke up that morning and my mother-in-law Teresa & Tyson woke up early and put cupcake and birthday cake decorations on the ground from the room I was staying in out to the counter top with kisses and a birthday sign and a cake decoration.  I was so surprised and so happy that they would do this for me.  Tyson and Ava took me out to IHOP for breakfast and I was sang to and received a free ice cream.  Tyson gave me a present to go and get a pedicure so I went with my sister in-laws and mother in-law.  The plan was for me and Tyson and Kristy and Shawn were going to Rosas for dinner and then a movie to see Sherlock Holmes.  Well what I did not know was Tyson had been planning a surprise party for me back at my parents house.  While I was getting my pedicure I invited everyone to go and have dinner with us and then to the movie.  The funny thing is that they knew about the surprise party but did not want to say no and be rude.  So when Tyson showed up and met us at Rosas and saw everyone there he started to panic on what to do.  We had a good time at dinner and then everyone was like oh we can't go to the movie and just started making excuses which I thought was weird cause it was my birthday and nobody wanted to hang!!!  Everyone left but Kristy, Shawn, Tyson, and me as we sat and waited for the check which I did not know was planned so the others could hurry and go to the house.  As we were leaving Tyson was on the phone and said Ava had a tummy ache and we needed to go by and just check on her.  We got there and I walked in and saw on the counter a gift from Kelsey with a sign that said, "30 Sucks" and had 30 different kind of suckers.  While I was looking at it I was just rambling on talking to myself while everyone was in the other room waiting for me to turn around trying not to laugh at me cause I was just laughing and chatting to myself.  Eventually I turned and saw them and I was so surprised.  I had no idea and it truly was a surprise.  Tyson then told me how he had to change everything cause I kept inviting people and everything.  We played games and had junk food and laughed at each other as we acted out different characters.  It truly was a good birthday especially for my 30th.  

Elder Romriell Gets Transfered

      Elder Romriell was in our area for 7 1/2 months and we had many discussions and dinners and laughs while he was here.  He was one of the Elders that helped teach the man Tyson baptized.  When he first came to the area he was very shy and did not say very much.  Very, Very, quiet...  There was major progression that happened in the time he was here.  He became more confident in himself and looked like he was ready to take more things on and not hesitate to talk to anyone.  We have been able to have the Elders in our home and feel of the spirit they bring with them.  We were glad to have met Elder Romriell and be apart of his mission.

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.

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!!

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

Bowling with Friends

We went out as a group to go have some fun bowling.  We had trophies to give out for the best score for the guys and one for the girls.  That heated up the competition.  We had a good time goofing around and laughing at each other.  July 2011

I figured the green one would bring me some luck.
