7 Years Ago...

..my Nate was born. This is guy is such a joy in our family. He adds a certain something that's hard to describe. There are times I just want to ring his neck and then there are others where he just amazes me at how much he is actually paying attention. Anyways, we just love him! Here's a flashback on Nate-dog.

Here he is doing what he loves to do best with one of his most favorite people, Big Grandpa Adams.

Halloween and Stuff

I feel lame. How come it seems like I start every other post like that? Oh yeah, because I'm so lame at updating this thing! We've been in our normal state of barely controlled chaos, but all in all we are doing pretty well. We had a fun Halloween with my mom visiting. She taught me how to make and can her famous chili sauce and we just had a good time. At least I did, she's probably needing a vacation from her vacation at this point, but I'm sure glad she came out. So before I'm disowned I'll post some pictures since that's what most people are interested in anyways..... here we go!

In the maze.

Trunk or treat.

Ryan and Kate before Ry's school party. He started as a pirate and ended as a ninja. He had to be like Nate, but it worked out and I still didn't have to buy any costumes this year!

I think this is my favorite picure. Kate the spider and Judah the soccer player. The looks on their faces just says, "end of the night, sugar wearing off, put me to bed now or be very sorry." Don't you love the left over chocolate on Kate's face. Yeah, I never let the other's have candy at that age.

And completely different subject, here's what a "lackey" looks like just in case you were wondering.
