iPhone Funnies

Over the past year since Scott and I have gotten our iPhones we have started to believe that the auto-correct setting's purpose is to make us laugh.  I can't tell you how many times that we will be texting back and forth and the iPhone will "correct" a word that will make the sentence make no sense at all.  Here is an ever-growing, on-going list of some of those texts:

*I was talking to my friend about going to the gym this morning.
 -My text should have said:  I can go to gym this am no kids.
 -What it actually said:  I can go to gym this am no kods'

*I was talking to my neighbor and asked him if it was wrong that I was drinking wine on a random Tuesday.
  -His text should have said:  Nope.  Need help with the second?
   -What it actually said: Nope.  Need help with the seconf?

*In having a convo with Scott about my sister-in-law and I going to a jewelery party.
  -Should have said:  We are going now.
  -What it actually said:  We are hoing now.

*When Scott was leaving Phoenix and heading back home.
  -Should have said:  I love you, too.
  -What it actually said:  I live you, too.

*My friend, Megan, had an update status in which she was talking about her relaxing night.  She had written DWTS+Bud Light Lime+2 kids in bed=Pure Bliss.  I happened to be watching Dancing with the Stars, too, so I commented on her status.
   -Should have said:  DWTS+Bud Light+popcorn+3 kids downstairs with Daddy=Pure Bliss
   -What it actually said:  DWTS+Bud Light+porn+3 kids downstairs with Daddy=Pure Bliss
 

Carving Pumpkins

At the end of our trip to the Pumpkin Patch on Saturday, we picked out three pumpkins to carve.  By "we", I mean Scott and me.

Kanin liked gutting the pumpkins out but Grace was more content just to watch.  It was too icky.

Here is a rare loving moment.  They actually got along for about 5 minutes while working on the pumpkins.

As you can see, gutting pumpkins is hard work.  You might have to take your shirt off.

Here is GracieAnn's, aka Mommy's, pumpkin.

Here is Kanin's, aka Daddy's, pumpkin.

We will work on Caleb's tomorrow.  It is a baby one but I was too tired to start it tonight.  LOL

Pumpkin Patch 2010

This past weekend we made our annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch.  I don't ever remember anyone ever even talking about a Pumpkin Patch when I was growin up (unless it was Charlie Brown) but it is a big deal these days and St. Louis has some great ones.

This year we went back to Thies Pumpkin Land.

I had this cute shirt made for Gracie by my friend, Nicole.  (You should check out her site)

I saw this line of wagons walking in and I had to take a picture of them.  It just reminded me of "old days". 

One of the best things about going to the Pumpkin Patch is that we try to go with all of my family.  My sister and her family and my mom and dad go, too.  There aren't too many days that we can all be together.

Here is a picture of my Alison and Aidan, my niece and nephew.  I LOVE this picture.  This stack of hay was right inside the entrance and Aidan climbed right to the top and threw his hands in the air.  It was so spontaneous and I am so glad that I captured it.

They have a zipline for the kids to go on, as well.  Gracie looks scared in this picture but she actually loved it.  I think this picture kind of shows both sides of her, a baby and a big girl.

Of course, Kanin loved the ziplining.

I LOVE this picture of Aidan, too.  I so rarely get a natural smile out of him and this picture really shows joy.  Don't you just love those freckles?

Alison is such a big girl.  I cannot believe that she is 11.  She is my first babydoll.  She is sweet and silly all at once.

I am so glad that I chose to put my sweet baby Caleb in brown and orange.  His hair really stood out.  He loved these pumpkins.

Here is a rarity, all 5 kids sitting still at the same time.  Mom and Dad were sitting on these pumpkins and I originally was just going to take a picture of them.  Then, Caleb wanted Papa.  Then, Ali wanted to sit down.  Slowly, one by one, they all made their way over there.

This picture pretty much sums up the rest of the day (and every day at my house).  The boys are happy and Grace is just being Grace.

Four Year Anniversary

Wow, I can't believe that it has been 4 years since our wedding.  We have gone through so many changes in that time.  We moved out of the condo, had 2 babies, bought a house, Scott switched jobs and I quit work to be a stay-at-home mom.  I won't lie and say that every day has been champagne and roses.  There have been days that he has been on my nerves, days where I have been on his nerves and days where everyone has been on everyone's nerves.  But through it all, I know that there is no other place that I'd rather be. 

We still have fun together.  We still laugh.  He is still my best friend and I'd rather hang out with him than anyone else. 

Can't wait to see what the future holds!

It All Comes Naturally

Here is proof that this behavior just comes naturally.  He's only 17 months old but he already loves guns . . .

and he loves running around naked and trying to grab himself.

Obsession

I have a problem.  I am obsessed with true crime shows.  I cannot get enough of them. I love them all.  Scott keeps asking me if I am planning something . . . LOL

Spooky Halloween

For the last couple of years Kanin has wanted me to decorate "scary" for Halloween.  I've never been a huge fan of Halloween.  I mean, of course, I liked dressing up and getting candy but I never liked all of the ghosts, goblins, and witches.  Last year instead of Halloween decorations, I just did all Harvest and I loved it.  This year, though, I decided that I would give Kanin what he has been asking for and have a Spooky Halloween with still some touches of not-so-spooky stuff.

Those jack-o-lantern ghosts with smiley faces sure are scary, right?

Doesn't my Happy Halloween pumpkin sign fit right in?  LOL

 

Ok, this part is kind of scary.  I just added the skeleton coming up out of the ground today.  All of that stuff is expensive!!
