Pumpkin Patch

Since we moved to Seattle we have made it tradition to go to the pumpkin patch and each pick out what we think is the "Best" pumpkin!! Well this year was a little different. We have found our favorite...Craven Farms! I don't know about other places but I know I could go to the store and buy cheaper pumpkins but that takes all the fun out of it, right?!! So...this time around we were all searching for that perfect pumpkin, hard to do!! It has to be the perfect pumpkin but it also has to have the perfect thick stem!! After searching and searching and Jaden finding one and then losing it Justin finally came walking back from way out in Timbuktu with this most ginormous pumpkin. It was the perfect pumpkin with the perfect thick stem!! The only bad thing...how much was this sucker going to cost!! Jokingly I told Justin it would be a $30 pumpkin. So much for everyone picking out a pumpkin this year. This one is made up of 5!! As we approached the check out stand I could barely see the prices. They have all different size pumpkins lined up and the price under it and you compare yours to those and get the price. Well, I knew for sure ours couldn't pass for the second to biggest, no it had to be the ginormous size and a whopping 25 smackers!! HOLY CRAP!! Each year I tell Justin we need to go into the pumpkin business so all those suckers out there will drop 25 bones on a pumpkin! You'll have to wait until Halloween to see our prize winning pumpkin!! But here are some pictures from our day!!

Imagination at work!!

Today Justin came home from Costco to put a few things in the garage freezer when he was greeted by this!! Justin with a chuckle calls in to me...."Honey, what's this in the freezer?" I had no clue what he was talking about until I saw the master piece. No I didn't see it before but Jaden had done a few other master pieces prior to this that involved the same concept, so all I could say was, "So...that's what he has been up to!" Oh the imagination of kids!! Poor Iron Man...he's not getting out of this one!!

MILLER MOMENTS

Jaden Moments
{Jaden has been losing teeth but today he lost his first top tooth, I guess we are entering those awkward years! He still looks cute but talks with a little lisp!! 5/16/09}
{"I'm hot, not what girls think, my body's hot!" Oh the funny things kids say!! 4/09}
{I recieved an email from Jaden's teacher the other day that said he had led the class in a sing along to "So what" by Pink! She also let me know that he often sings while doing his work, yes it is a distraction, but I guess there are worse things!}
{Today Jaden and I were sitting on the couch and he saw an ultrasound on the TV and says, "Mom, how do babies get in your belly?" My response....UHMMMM!! Great how do I answer this one. When mommies want a baby Heavenly Father hears you and puts it in mommies tummy. He says he wants another baby, but this time a brother. My response to that one...that's nice but I think mom and dad have it figured out now!! No more babies for a long time!! 8/1/08}
{We were all laying in bed one morning and I commented that Ragen felt hot and Jaden says, "Yeah, behind her legs are hot but not the straights!" Guess that meant the front of her legs!}
{5/27/08-Today we planted flowers to spruce up our yard and Jaden told his dad, now we have flowers we are "rich". Cool...I didn't know that's all it took!}
{"Red Alert, Red Alert, Halli we have to get out of here!" This is what I heard coming from the bathroom as water was running over the toilet. Jaden had taken it upon himself to unplug the toilet! He was very concerned, he thought he had ruined our house! It was kinda funny!}

Halli Moments
{Rarely has clothes on, loves to be naked or in her fancy nancy get up! 6/09}
{Is scared of "hello-vators"! Term for elevator}
{"My name is Halli, I like to dance!" I catch her saying this quite often!! Funny! 5/09}
{Halli has been asking me to call her "Daisy" and then the next day it was "Hope"! Where is this coming from! 5/09}
{Funny words Halli says- "so...", "actually"!!}
{Halli is really into singing "Livin' on a Prayer", it's hilarious and when you asks her who sings it she says, "Bon Jovi." 2/09}
{I took the kids to McDonald's the other day and Halli wanted to know what the toy was so I told her it was "Littlest Pet Shop." When we pulled up and got the Happy Meals she said, "mom, can I have my Littlest Ketchup!" Pet Shop/Ketchup, close enough! 3/09}
{Halli told me she wanted to use Jaden's "swish swash" Mouth wash! 2/20/09}
{I had put Jaden and Halli to bed when a few minutes later I could here someone scooting down the stairs on their bum, so I went to take a peek and there was Halli. I took her back to her bed as she was telling me that her owie on her leg hurt (really there was no owie) so I kissed her leg and she looked at me and put her arms in the air and said, "I can't believe you guys not in bed!" She says some of the funniest things. Good thing she makes me laugh once in awhile because she sure is up to no good lately!! 2/16/09}
{"Lugs and Kwisses!" Halli's version of hugs and kisses!}
{"Nice going!"}
{"I peacing out!" The phrase "Peace Out" is used at our house regularly and one night when Halli got done eating this is what she said as she got of her chair! 11/08}
{We have been potty training and she is so excited when she poops...so the other day she pooped then she says, "AWESOME! Lets count them!"...huh!! At least she likes to count! 10/08}
{She told me she had Dia-rhita!! 10/08}
{I was picking up crumbs and she says, "It's just me making messes!" 10/08}
{I asked Halli if she wanted a drink out of my snazy pink water bottle and she said, "That's cool!"10/08}
{Halli's new word..."Holy Crap!" 8/8/08}
{I was sitting at the computer today and Halli didn't know I was listening to her and I hear her say, "Hi Hannah, how are you!" Hannah is one of her friends. It was so cute because she was just talking to herself! 7/21/08}
{Halli woke up Sunday morning with a swollen finger with blisters so we took her to the doc. to find out she had an infection. Today I was changing her bandage and when I finished she said, "Thank you mommy!" "Great job!" How cute!! 6/7/08}
{I'm never too sure if Halli eats the food I give her so I have started asking her where her food is and she opens her mouth and then says "buggy" and points to her belly!!}
{When Halli burps or tooters, she blames it on someone else. She says, "Jaden did it" or who ever sounds good. Makes me laugh!}
{5/08-When I ask Halli if she is a big girl or a baby...her reply is "CUTE!"}
{5/25/08-We had just got home from church and Justin was getting Halli out of her car seat and he said, "Halli why did you take your shoes off?" Her reply-"Tause!"}
{When I ask Halli what Daddy's name is she says daddy Milner! Close enough!}
{Halli loves her pretties! Pretties include: lip stick, necklaces, hair accessories, anything she thinks makes her look pretty!}
{"K!" Halli answers with K everytime you ask her to do something or tell her something! It is so cute! Sure beats "NO!"}
