pumpkins and props.............






OK this post is long overdue we went to the pumpkin patch the last week in September I just haven't posted it. We had fun and it was nice to go early get the biggest pumpkins and smallest crowds!


So now on to props. For anyone that lives in California you know that prop 8 has been a huge deal here. I have to admit when I first heard about the vote yes on prop 8 campaign I wasn't sure of how it would really affect me. I guess you could say I didn't understand the consequences until I started reading up. Now it has become a huge deal to Will and I. The more we have gotten involved with phone calls, signs, donations it has made us really realize the importance. The fact that my kids schoolbooks would be changed to incorporate same-sex marriage as the norm really bugged! From Kindergarten on my kids would have to deal with these issues. Also all churches would not have a choice in having same-sex marriages performed without possibly being sued. The law being passed in no way effects homosexuals rights which I do believe we are all equal but will keep marriage between a man and woman which just makes sense to me it started that way why change it.
We have also had excitement in our lives with signs from our front yard being stolen peoples bumper stickers disappearing the list goes on i'm sure. Will has been setting up our video camera to catch the predators.....seriously hilarious. We're coming up with our next trap too wish us luck. Anyways Vote yes on prop 8!!

These pics of the pumpkin patch make me miss Yuba City even more. We don't have anything really like that here! The kids looks so big and grown up and your pics are fantastic.

First off your kids are getting freakin huge! Kate is like a little lady! Second, I went to register to vote and I was literally a day late (and a dollar short). If I could I would vote yes on prop 8!(is it just for Cali? I'm not that educated) I have heard about this on the boob tube.
Good luck finding the sign stealers. You should cover the back of the sign in honey so the tricky little buggers get stuck in sticky goo!
