Roloff Farms

Last week Mike and I took a little trip to Oregon (where his parents live) and made a stop by Roloff Farms. It was everything I thought it would be and more!!!


The imfamous sign before entering the farm.



Amy Roloff (the mom). I had to crop this picture down because the full size one...looks really awkward. I look far to tall crouching next to her. She was so nice, and really liked the name Memphis and then proceeded to tell me, she was headed out to Tennessee this month.



Mike and Damien... chillin' on the Western Tour



The House. Anyone who watches the show knows they recently remodled. The house looks awesome!!!!



Cars left to right. Jeremy's camero he just had to have... not running. The Nova is going to be Mollies and then Amy's sweet truck!




The Tree House



The Bridge. I wish we could have stopped and taken pictures on it. It just looked so cool. It was such a beautiful day.


We did get to stop and get off at the Western Town. This is Matt Roloff's parents.





The Pumpkin Patch







And lastly... Matt working and recording for next season!

It was such a fun day, I am so glad we got to go!!!! I would do it again next year in a heart beat!

2 MONTHS OLD

I really hope you all didnt think I could just pick one!
Little Dame(that is what we call him) is already two months old!
He is such a happy baby. We feel so blessed... to have such great kids. The fact that they are super duper cute is just bonus! :)




This is a picture of Memphis at 1 month old... think they are related??

Cousin Love

It's hard to belive Memphis is just about to turn 18 months old and Kyah 21 months. You hear all the time, kids grow up fast. I understand now. They are crazy... but we love them!

Kyah and Memphis love to be with each other. When we pull onto Shauna's street... Memphis shreaks with excitment! They are quite fun.






Halloween 2008: The Butterfly and the Skunk



Uncle Chase has been trying so hard to teach these two, to say "trick or treat"...

Back in time... just a little!

Jen FINALLY got her wedding pictures four months later, so I must post a few!


I love these girls!!!! Mansfield Manor... misses this threesome forsure! Ha... mircles...nightmares, it's all the same, right...girls!?! :)


This might be a shock, but Jen and I seem to be adjusting... to her married life and new location. Verizon and Sprint love us even more...

We went to the State fair back in September, it was fun... but we just think the girls will have a lot more fun, once they are a little older. :)
The fair was followed by a very yummy dinner at texas road house for Kristi's birthday! Nothing like filling up on rolls before your meal even arrives! Ha ha!

Shauna and Kyah about to head down the big famous yellow slide! A family tradition for sure!





Damien's Baby Blessing



We blessed both Damien and Spencer on September 21st. It ended up being a BEAUTIFUL day! We feel so blessed and loved by all our dear family and friends. Thanks to all those who could be a part of our special day!

Future Wheels???

I laughed out loud when I saw this car racing down the freeway... why Memphis? Is it their name and why would you have a giant sticker of your name made for your car? (don't worry, mine is already ordered). Anyway had a get a picture of this one for sure!

New Wheels


So, we have been looking for a double stroller for a few months now, but today I bought this one on KSL! It was only $40 and it's in really great condition! YEA! Can't wait to use it at the fair on Friday and the airport in a few weeks! WHooo hoooo! If kinda feels like pushing a bus, but I guess thats life with two kids for ya!

By the way, Memphis LOVES walks. Her and Grandma Straw go almost every morning together. Like I said we have been shopping around for a while and a few weeks ago we were at Sears and I put Memphis is one of the display strollers to see how she fit. It was a little heartbreaking to have to take her out with getting to actually ride in it. Excitement shattered... and all of Sears got to hear it!

Expect Net

Just want to say Congrats to Jessica McOmie for winning our little guessing game! She won by a land slide. A prize is coming her way!

This is Jess with her cute boys Carter and Mason!!!! For those who don't know Jess, she used to live at the apartments with us! We love and miss them terribly!

Again, CONGRATULATIONS Jessica!!!!!!!

Celeste and JD were also pretty dang close!

Thanks to all those who played...

week one...comes and goes!

I'm not going to lie... two kids is harder than one! Ha! I'm T I R E D...

that being said, our little man is such a sweetheart. He is a good baby. Memphis seems to be ok most the time but she is need of a little extra attention and love. I guess these things are to be expected. She calls Damien Doggie on a regular basis... not really sure why, but i assure her, he is not a dog. :)

It's nice being here at my moms, Mike is back at work and coaching football again this year... lucky for us Hallmans love Memphis so much they watch her during practice. (Hallmans son Joseph is on Mike's team) Chase, Kristi and my mom seem to really know when their help is needed. For that we are greatful.

Breast feeding seems harder this time. I dont know why. Lets just be honest... IT HURTS! WHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Speaking of feeding, it's that time again... wish me luck! ha ha ha

The competition is starting to get a little more fierce now that the not as talented dancers have been weeded out.
It's on every Wednesday night at 7:00, so if you're not busy TONIGHT, watch her and VOTE!!! If you already watch it, then vote for Chelsie! She has yet to be in the bottom 6 and we would like to keep it that way!
