Halloween at the Adairs'

Tony, Matthew and I went to hang with our friends, Steve and Jeni, for Halloween this year. Steve made yummy chili and we had fries and corn bread to go with it. Matthew dressed up as a lion (thanks to Auntie Sylvia) and Nathan went as a monkey, while Allison went as Doodle Bop. The kids were adorable in costume. Steve and Jordan had fun scaring all the trick or treaters as they came to the front door. It was such a fun evening!

'Tis the Night Before Halloween....

Matty is wearing his Halloween PJs and accessories from Uncle Danny and Auntie Jenn tonight. Stay tuned for pics of his Halloween Costume....

A Day of Discovery

Well, we've finally had a breakthrough. Literally. Matthew's first tooth broke through the surface today. I'd take a picture if he'd let me but I would need about 5 hands to make that happen. We also bought Matthew a walker today. He loves it! He squealed with delight as soon as we showed it to him and he couldn't stop giving us hugs afterward.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

My dad turned the big 55 today! I think he now qualifies for the senior discount at Denny's....

Happy Birthday Tony!

This is a big birthday week for our family. We celebrated Tony's birthday a day early since he is going to have a late night tonight at the range. I made his favorite for dinner- chicken burritoes. I baked a cake for dessert and Matty got to try his first teeny tiny bite of cake. He loved it but slept restlessly all night. What a fun family evening!

Happy Birthday Katrina

Today is Tony's sister's birthday. Have a great one!

Autumn in the Mountains

Matty and Jen went to visit Grandma and Grandpa in Big Bear this week. Matty made all sorts of new discoveries during the trip and totally destroyed the house. He found Grandma's tupperware drawer and loved playing with Grandma's mixing bowls and big spoons. We took walks in the woods and had a yummy roast beef dinner with the whole family (Troy, Mikey and Amber came over). Matty is so close to having his first teeth breakthough...he didn't sleep so well but he did have a lot of fun. Grandma fed him some mashed potatoes and he LOVED them. Grandma also made a yummy pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting and Grandpa gave Matty a few bites of frosting. That was his introduction to refined sugar- he was bouncing off the walls after that. As cute as it was, he won't be eating sugar again for awhile. The weather was cool and crisp but with blue skies and sunshine. Can't wait to get back to the fresh air!
