The Adams Family Blog

Well, I survived 7 days with sick kids and Dave being out of town.  He just got back last night.  I never mention when he’s out of town because you never know who reads this blog and might take advantage of knowing I’m home alone.  Smart, huh?

We are leaving for Utah this afternoon to visit Dave’s family.  This is the first time we’ve flown with the boys after 2 years of age and have to pay for tickets for them.  It will be nice for them to have their own seats though and not have to sit on our lap.  

Tyler has a mild cold still (left over from his pneumonia) and just yesterday Brady was diagnosed with pneumonia now.  I brought him in to check his ears because he’s been up half the night for the past 4 nights again.  Sure enough, his ear infection did come back, but then they realized he had pneumonia too.  So this trip will likely be more challenging than usual.  The doctor said within 24 hours of the meds that he shouldn’t be contagious and told me to go still.  So we’re coming!

The boys are excited to go on the airplane again.  I think this is the 5th time they’ve flown there in their little lives.  We stay with Dave’s mom when we go and she enjoys having us around.  We’ll visit with Dave’s kids, Nich, Zach, Janessa, Aaron & his new wife Jenn.  Aubrey & family is still in Vegas, waiting for Lance’s government job transfer to Salt Lake, so we won’t get to see them again this time.  Soon though!!

While I’m there I have one photo session of a newborn & family (Dave’s nephew’s family), so that will be fun.  And I’m having lunch with some of the ladies from my online Biggest Loser group that live in the area, so it will be really fun to meet some of them in person.  And on our way back we have a 4 hour layover in Denver (doing anything to keep the airfaire price lower since we’re paying for 4 tickets now) and my best friend from college, Cindy, might be able to come meet us at the airport for lunch.  I haven’t seen Cindy in so many years that I can’t even remember how many.  

So, this trip should be a lot of fun for many reasons!  Let’s just hope the sleep deprivation that I encounter every time we go there (boys do not sleep well there) won’t kill me.

Will have lots of pics to post when we get back next Wednesday.  Have a good weekend!

Tyler and Brady are learning their colors. They do pretty well telling me which color something is when I ask them. Tyler likes to bring things to me and ask me what color it is. Then he says “Good Mama” when I tell him. Ironically the word “blue” was one of the first colors they could say quite a while ago and they called everything blue. But now, it’s one of the only colors that they can’t get. When I hold up something blue they call it every other color. Interesting.

My favorite color that the boys say….Oooo-range. Because it comes out so very funny, and they make the funniest face.

Here’s Brady showing & telling you “orange”.

So, when February throws you a day with temps in the 50’s, us Michiganders come out of hiding. What was the first thing Tyler and Brady wanted to do? Ride their motorized four wheelers.

The problem: The rechargeable batteries weren’t charged and the four wheelers wouldn’t go. Tyler was very upset about this.

Brady says, “Don’t worry brother, I will fix it”.

But alas, when your batteries are dead, it’s nice to have a twin brother to help your four wheeler go.
