I don't care if Jacob is naughty sometimes, he is still the cutest little guy ever!

Jacob gets the raw end of the deal each and every time. Poor little cutie. I'm so glad this is back on. I was impressed that the RV was kept clean. I was sure by the time they got to Yosemite it would be trashed. I'm glad I wasn't in the restaurant they stopped in.

Really, Lil? (insert sarcastic tone). HOW old are those kids and they're pushing and shoving each other in the booths? And Amy just sits there. I woulda knocked their heads together!

Matt is just a wondeful hubby,I am biased when it comes to him, I find Amy just a bit to sarcastic and negative.

Everything I have thought you guys are talking about. Poor Matt gets talked to by Amy the way she talks to her kids and she does it in front of the kids. Can't believe how they, the kids, talk to both parents yet love the show and each time I've seen them off the show I just see the love they have for each other. Matt is not the nicest to his dad either so I guess it is just norm for all of them.

The road trip is pretty boring. I'll be glad when they get back to the farm.

I really enjoyed the games they went to in Seattle. Zach played volleyball, basketball and soccer.. he's quite the athlete. Amy was great at volleyball considering she hadn't played in years. Also loved that Matt and others went to do a training with the security people at the airport. Amy and Matt are both strong characters with strong opinionns. She bulldozes and he just goes ahead and does what he was going to do and tells later.. sometimes much later ============== The most recent newsletter:
quote:Dear Lynn, Happy Halloween and greetings from Roloff Farms! Here on the farm, we are just wrapping up Pumpkin Season 2007. Pumpkin business was booming-we had the most successful season to date! The real blessing though was the opportunity to share our farm with so many fantastic guests. Every day of pumpkin season Amy and I had the chance to meet inspiring families and committed friends who had traveled from around the state and across the country to visit our family and our farm. The kindness and dedication we encountered were truly breathtaking, and we offer a special thank you to those who were able to make the trip this year. On a logistical note, our expanded parking lot was just the ticket, as our parking experts did their best to get everyone in and out of the farm. Of course there were a few back-ups, but we really worked with the Washington County Sheriffs' Department to try and keep traffic under control. They didn't even have to shut us down this year! We did face some pretty big crowds though, so a huge thanks to everyone who was patient and willing to wait in some lines. We tried to keep things moving on the farm--we had four tour wagons running most of the time, keeping a whole slew of tractor drivers, tour guides, ticket takers, and wagon loaders very busy! The kids put in a lot of hours on the farm throughout the month of October. Zach and Jeremy drove tractors pulling tour wagons, Molly buckled down as cashier extraordinaire, and Jacob could be seen hard at work with Mike on a bigger, bolder, and safer trebuchet pumpkin launcher. We didn't quite finish the new trebuchet this year, but we're taking our time with the building process, using top-notch timber and steel, and keeping the old motto, "Safety first!" on the forefront of the construction site. Just wait until next year, and those pumpkins will really fly! We hope you're enjoying the new season of "Little People, Big World"on TLC, now presented in high definition. Our family certainly embraced the adventure of the All American Roloff Family Road Trip. I loved being able to show the kids a bit of our past by revisiting some spots that hold a special significance to Amy and me, while also creating new memories as a family. Keep an eye out for upcoming excitement, both on and off the farm! The big DAAA showdown is coming up! You're not gonna want to miss this. Soon you'll see Zach and Marty go head to head in a thrilling battle of skill, agility, and wits. And only one will emerge victorious... We're sorry that it's been a while since our last newsletter. Now that pumpkin season has ended, and the farm has calmed down a little bit (but not completely, of course!), we're really going to make an effort to keep these updates coming on a more regular basis. Thank you for sticking with us up to this point, and know that there's more good stuff to come! In closing, we offer our warmest autumn wishes to you and your family, and express our gratitude for your continued support and kind words. The outpouring of love and inspirational stories we receive never fail to amaze us. Thank you for sharing your laughter, your tears, and reminding us of the power of the human spirit. Until next time, Matt Roloff and Family

Matt's officially an idiot. He was time-trial racing at 85 MPH his VW Bug without his shoulder harness on. That's just plain nuts!

I agree OG All I could think were people will hear about a tragedy one day in the future and talk about "remember when" the whole time I was watching him talk about that bug. Next week looks nuts! It is a miracle that more don't get hurt.

None of my bugs had sholder harnesses! One thing I CAN say about them......FROM EXPERIENCE, you can roll one of those puppies end over end twice and sideways three times, and walk away from it. We had four in the car and a strained neck was the worst of it.....if she had on a seatbelt of anykind it wouldn't have been that bad.

His Bug had a racing harness setup in it. Probably had to according to the rules, but I don't know why he wasn't disqualified for not using it.

Kirsten has really odd taste in clothes. Poor Jeremy, having to wear that pirate's mate shirt as well as the picnic tablecloth shirt! (didn't like seeing the poor baby birds who are probably likely to die...)

From last night's show...paintball. It just amazes me at how much energy the little people can have. Those boys were perpetual motion machines.

Last night was fun, what a blessed childhood they have really. Down from paintball to Molly and her dad with the peaches. Very endearing show

I feel guilty laughing but get the impression that Amy isn't too fond of Jeremy's girlfriend, "They sold that in the boys dept?" RFLOL!! The camaras kept panning around before that to make it clear (IMO) that Amy KNEW that Kirsten was the one who had purchased the shirt.

Kirsten does have kind of strange taste in clothes....but I think part of it is that she's trying to dress fashionably for her age and size.....but not quite getting there. How cool is it that Mom gets out there and plays with the kids? My mom would have been afraid of getting dirty.

I just love this family! IMO, the show should be boring to me, but it never ever is! I really laughed during their road trip vacation when Amy was losing her patience. I see my family in the show at times!

I was trying to find online their boat they are in the Bahamas with, to get an idea of the price of that vacation! They are a good family. I love to see Matt hug and kiss all over the kids.

I'm still looking forward to the epi where Matt gets arrested for DUI. I'm anxious to see how it is handled.

So another season has ended. Looks like we will have to wait until the next season for the DUI incident. This was a good season, went by quickly. It was basically their whole summer, that was it. Just wondering when we will see new episodes. It never seems to be that long of a wait.

I think I read or saw... Matt was arrested in the summer, but I could be wrong, and wasnt his court date first week of December? I dont think there was much media play - maybe because he didnt take the field sobriety and the court didnt send him to prison? Speculating that if he'd gone to prison we'd of seen it in the media??? I too like watching what seems to be a normal average family that really work hard and do things in a different way -

He was arrested and charged with "suspected DUI".. as he puts it. They mentioned it several times in promos but it will be part of next season. I really enjoy the family, too. In the finale, Amy was really watching her kids grow and start to move along, with both twins getting drivers licenses (and unlike most kids, each having a vehicle so they could immediately just take off) and Molly going all teenaged .. I'm happy that there will be another season.
