Tricks, Treats, and Geriatrics

This past Saturday it was our Stake Youth Halloween Party. Adam is in the Stake Young Men's presidency and they asked us to be the DJ's at the dance. We were struggling all week to figure out what to dress up as...but we had a revelation...Here are some pics of Adam to help you figure out what our costumes were...
This is Adam trying to prepare for his costume by painting his hair white and drawing old man lines. We kept the hair for his costume, but eliminated the lines...He looked too much like the creepy, senile, old guy down the street who has a lot of cats and yells at kids for walking on his grass.Although in this picture Adam looks more like the old, constipated, senile guy down the street who has a lot of cats and yells at kids for walking on his grass, calling them things like "whippersnappers," "punks," or "lolligaggers" Here is a better clue as to what we dressed up as.
We never realized just how much Camille looks like Sarah Palin, but everyone in our ward kept telling her all week that she has that look. So, we took that as revelation for our costumes. Camille spent hours perfecting her glasses, hair, and wardrobe. She even practiced pronouncing "Mavericky" in the mirror.

Adam was attempting to perfect the McCain hand gestures, but Camille decided that he still looked like a senile old man, ready to yell at some young rustlerousers. Maybe he did nail his costume...?
We got a pic of us right before the dance. Shortly after this shot was taken someone came up and said that they loved our outfits. They then said they never thought of dressing like Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck. Perhaps we should have left the old man lines on Adam.
The highlight of the night for all in attendance was watching Sarah Palin do a line dance. When Camille started dancing she had almost four or five people taking pictures of her. They all said that they were going to put it on their blog and send it to their friends. Camille is a very convincing Palin, maybe even more so when she dances.

Palin never looked so sexy!! Shimmy baby, shimmy!!
McCain, Glenn Beck, and the Senile old man tried all night to get a kiss from Palin, but she said they all stunk (the hair spray was toxic!!)...Actually, Adam did nail his costume...all three of them.

Rise and Shout the Cougars are out!!!

Every year Adam gets to go to a BYU football game, and every year we seem to pick a game where it is super cold and rainy. Why would this year be any different? There was snow in the forecast and the temp at kickoff was 39 degrees. But, we had a great time.
Adam's family all came down to Provo to visit Carli (Adam's sister). We all went out to a pre-game meal at Tuaconos. It is the perfect place for Adam because it is an all you can eat meat place. The waiters bring meat around on spits and cut the meat off right onto your plate. Adam was ready to rip off his shirt and yell "FEAST" in a barbaric manner, but Camille restrained him. Unfortunatley she could not restrain Adam's dad who appears behind Carli screaming "FEAST!!"
Adam's brother and sis -n-law, Eric and Aimei, Joined the feast. We were even nice enough to invite Camille's little sister Jill to the party.Adam's dad is still in full FEAST mode, but Adam's mom is just happy to have such a studly, barbaric husband.Camille absolutley hates cold weather. So before the game she was wrapping up and making sure she was warm enough. Please forgive her for wearing a stanford sweatshirt...she knows not what she is doing. Also forgive Jill in the background, she is talking to all her boyfriends.What is a trip to Provo without a nice view of the Y. Here we are outside the stadium. Adam could barely contain his excitement. There are two things in this life that Adam loves more than anything...Camille, and a close second...BYU Football.
A beautful view of the stadium...Adam tears up just looking at such a wonderful sight.Here we are just before the game started. Adam is one of those psychos that has to get to the game about an hour before it starts so he can watch the team warm up. He also does not leave until the game has fully ended. Camille gave up on the game with 4 minutes left and went and hung out in the bathrooms because they were heated.
