Pumpkin Patch

Last night after Family Home Evening, we carved pumpkins. Taysum was so excited!! Bailey didn't completely understand what was going on, but she liked being involved. Ken and I had to do most of the work, but it was fun. Taysum drew a scary face and Ken cut it out. Their favorite part was taking them outside and lighting the candles.

Bailey wanted to take a picture of the pumpkins, but she didn't hold the camera very still; this is how it turned out

Ken thought it was pretty cool, so he gave it a try. He pushed the button and then moved the camera around as much as he could while it was taking the picture.

Then Taysum

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

How fun! Makes me wonder where this tradition came from... And especially in a country that hardly eats pumpkins.

Here's a Thought:

The rains came down and the flowers came up!

Bailey 10/11

In the middle of church, Bailey shouts out: I hope Jesus coming!!
1/2/11

Taysum got a card from his Kindergarten Teacher, Mrs. Floy, with a picture of her on it in the mail yesterday. Today he was tacking it to his bulletin board in his room and I heard him say, "I hope my teacher love me!" It was SO sweet! 8/13/10

At the pool, I asked Baiely if she wanted to wear her flip flops in the pool and she said, "No, I wear my feet." 7/10

Ken watched as Bailey tried to put up two fingers. He said, "Are you two?" and she said, "No...Peace!! Grandpa say Peace!" 7/10

We have some silk sunflowers in a basket as a centerpiece on our table. Along with the sunflowers there are some cat tails. The other night, Taysum informed us they are not cat tails, they are hot dog flowers! 6/10

I love the way Taysum's mind works...when I can figure it out! Tonight I made him a grilled cheese sandwhich for dinner; I told him it was hot and to wait for it to cool. He got up from the table and went to a fan we had going. He stood in front of it and opened his mouth wide and breathed in. He came back to the table, sat down and "blew the air" on to his sandwich!! He repeated this several times! I guess he thought the air from the fan would be cooler! Good thinking, T!! 6/9/10

I turned on some music and Bailey said, "Let's rock it, Mommy!! Rock and Roll!" 5/10

After a toot, which he politely excused himself for, Taysum said, "I have a Stinky Pete." (Toy Story II) 4/23/10

"This is the BEST dinner ever!!" Dinner was: chicken nuggets, french fries and pineapple. 9/09

We hung a picture of the Billings Temple in our living room. The next morning when T woke up and saw it he said, "It's the temple! I can't believe my eyes!" 9/09

Mom: Taysum, is Daddy silly?
Taysum: No...Daddy's crazy!! 9/09

Some of Bailey's latest fun phrases:
"Come on, Daddy (Mommy, Taysum)! Follow me!"
"Help! Ayudame!"
"Where's Taysum? Hmmm...you see him?"
At stop lights and stop signs, "Ready, set....GO!"

"Stubby cake" How Taysum says stomachache. 7/13/09

This little conversation happened the other day while I was doing nothing in particular.
Taysum, "Mom, what are you doing? Are you crazy?"
Me, "I hope not!"
