Ooops, I cut my hair!

BEFORE>>>

Yesterday as we were watching conference Ty went upstairs. Now he goes upstairs all the time. Nothing unusual. I called him and he didn't answer. Carson went to see what he was doing. As fast as he could run back, he reported that Ty was cutting his hair. OH NO!!!!! We RAN upstairs. IT was horrible. His beautiful blond hair now had a big chunk out of the front and to the scalp. Then there were various other cuts throughout the rest of his hair. It looked so funny. He also knew he was in BIG trouble. He's been warned before : NO ONE EXCEPT MOMMY cuts hair.



Of course he cried as he was confronted. So needless to say...Out came the scissors and clippers and OFF came his hair. It was a sad day in the short life of Ty. Now he looks soooo different. We are still having a tough time recognizing him. It has changed his whole look. I'm glad that his hair grows pretty fast. Hopefully it will have grown all back by Christmas.


WHO IS THAT KID? LOL

Finally Updating !

Wow, It's been almost a month since my last post. Well let's see whats been going on.

School started and has been in session for 6 weeks now. Everyone is doing GREAT!!!

Seth is a senior taking some classes at the HS and some at the tech center. You know he's a computer geek. He's been looking into colleges...OH MY! The one he'd love to go to cost about $90,000.00 for his BA degree. WOW. I think we'll be looking at some of the universities around here that are MUCH less costly. He's going today for a job interview at ShopKo by us. Hope he gets it.


Cody, 9th grade, got his mid-term grades and they were awesome. 6 A's and 1 B+. He's really trying to do good this year. He doesn't care for school very much but this year he's putting in a GREAT effort. He knows that his grade start counting now. I'm glad to see him doing so well. He really likes his wood working class.


Logan also is doing well. He's in the 8th grade. He works hard to keep his grades up. He has just finished making up some work that he missed when he was sick so we'll see how his grade are now. They were good but now they might be great. He's playing the Tuba again this year in the symphonic band. He seems to enjoy it!


Chase is now in the 5th grade and love his teacher. It's a man teacher and he's lots of fun. He's doing well in school. He just has to remember to do his homework when he gets home and not when it's time for bed. He really enjoys skateboarding!


Then there is Carson. He's now in 3rd grade and has lots of little girls who like him. He love school (most of the time) and does very well. I suspect he'll get all A's again this year. He's very bright and sweet and active. And his hair has grown out so he has lots of curls and he LOVES them.

And last but far not least, Brynn and Ty. Brynn missed the cut off to go to Kindergarten by a couple months. Too Bad! She really is ready. So we just do counting and writing and things like that at home. Then there is Ty who is just a total 3 year old. And boy has he been getting into LOTS of mischief. He is so cute though it makes it hard to get mad at him. :)

So that's what's been going on in our kids lives. We are still the same...Fat and Sassy. Steves looking into finding a new company to work for. Maybe one that will pay him. That would be so nice. He is always fighting with the company he's with now for his pay. So time to find something new.

See how exciting our Adam world is... bet you wish you lived with us too. LOL

Happy Birthday to Shelly

My dear friend, Joyce called me yesterday and left a message that she had a surprise for me. I waited a little before returning her call as I thought that she should be at school teaching. But finally I decided to call. She answered the phone all bright and cheery. She asked me to hold for a minute...Then I heard it...She had her entire 2nd grade class sing a very resounding 'Happy Birthday to You". It was soooo cool. What a great surprise. She says she does it for all her family and friends. I'm glad she did. It made my day!

Summer Day at the Park

(Ty, Chase, Carson and Brynn on slide)

This last week we took a trip to the park. It was finally not too hot. We actually had a park hopper day. We ate lunch and played at one park. Then went to another park for more playing. It was rather funny at the first park. Carson and David(Jennifers son) spun around on the tire swing for a VERY long time. They had a blast, until...

we drove to the next park. Jennifer is a little bit of a crazy driver at times and by the time we got to the park half the car was sick! David and Carson were on the verge of tossiong their cookies (I wasn't much better). It was pretty funny when they all collasped on the grass. Anyhow after some needed rest everyone was back to normal, playing and running around. It was a beautiful day. We all had a wonderful time!

Summer Swimming Lessons

Brynn and Ty took swimming lessons this summer. They learned to float on their back and flip from tummy to back. They also learned to "scoop" and kick. It was an adventure the first few times as Brynn pitched a huge fit and didn't want to get in the water. Ty was very eager and ready to go. But...Ty did end up a little scared but worked through it.

All in all they had a great time. Fear is gone (which I don't know if that is good or bad). But I feel better knowing that they can flip over and get to the side of a pool if they needed. A special thanks to my friend and Visiting Teacher for inviting then to her swim school.
They had a great time.

FIRE PIT- FIRE DEPARTMENT




Well I'm actually updating...surprise! We were just in our backyard going to roast marshmallows. The fire got to smokey so we decided to put it out. Can't smoke marshmallows! Anyhow, our dear friends (LOL) next door called the fire department on us. So we just had a very pleasent visit from the neighborhood Sandy Fireman. The kids loved it. Basically we were ok to have the firepit but since there was too much smoke there was a complaint. Now instead of just saying something to us they had to call the FD. How dumb was that. Anyhow, we'll continue to have fires in our firepit and continue to roast marshmallows, hot dogs, make foil dinners and what ever else we feel like cooking. People need to stop being such babies. Learn to speak for yourself!!!!

Starting out Blogging

So, I'm alittle slow at getting this Blog thing going. As many of you know...I can be slow at getting things done. Oh-well that's me!

Welcome to my blog, my families blog and the cats blog. I'll try to keep updating weekly or whatever and let you know what is up with our family and friends. So bear with me while I get this all set up and hopefully you'll come to visit it often to find out what's going on in the Adam Family.

Take care,

Shelly
