Which pumkin would you pick?

We had the opportunity to go to a pumkin patch, Charlotte, Samantha and I. I also found out that Sam doesn't like going to pumkin patches, probably because they got to grow their own pumkins when he was little (or his mom did). Anyway it was our wards play group and we had a lot of fun. I told Charlotte to pick her pumpkin, thinking she would pick a big one. She spent quite a lot of time picking and finally found the perfect one for her. One of the smallest pumkins, she even named it.


Come on which pumkin would you pick. Samantha had to have the ribbon on because everyone calls her a boy.

a lazy day of autumn

I'm a little behind on our blogs. Caleb had an early out day and we had a fun day at the park. These mainly feature Samantha, but in my defense she stayed in one spot. She was in these things for about a half an hour with Charlotte pushing her.

The trouble with having kids born in a different century

I'm not really that old I'm only 28 but life according to my kids makes me feel older.

Did you know that 1994 is old-fashioned times? Caleb does, he was setting the table and said he was doing it the old-fashioned way like from 1994.

What is film? We actually have a film camera but rarely use it. Caleb had a book from the library and it mentioned film and they asked what it was. Aren't all pictures viewed on computers?

What is a typewriter? When I did keyboarding in high school we learned on a typewriter. Caleb is taking computers starting from kindergarten.

What is a record player? Granted these are old, but my parents had records that we listened to over and over.

plus there are DVR's, e-mail, cell-phone's, blogs, dvd's that my kids think are just part of normal life(they are, but they haven't been for very long).

Who Am I?

I did this twice depending on my mood I guess I am Esme or Bella. I am like Esme in that I am usually quietly in the background and like Bella in that I am a klutz. Unlike Esme I am not the perfect hostess.

I'm a Bella! I found out through TwilightersAnonymous.com. Which Twilight Female Are You? Take the quiz and find out!

UH I'm not sure about this

I am a few of these things, but some of these things contridict themselves. I got this from bonny's blog where there is a link to this.

WHAT EMILY MEANS

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated.
You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want.
You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way!

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.

You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in.
You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising.
You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.

Charlotte

Our little Charlotte sometimes gets overlooked. An older brother with Aspergers and a baby sister take a lote of our time. She is very patient, willing to help and most of the time easygoing. She has never learned Follow the Prophet, but she has heard it. Watching conference gave her lots of opportunity to see the Prophet which she really liked. She starts singing the song, though her version is Follow the Monson, Follow the Monson. It is so funny. Today she started singing it then stopped and started again with Follow President Monson, Follow President Monson.
