With the greet and meet and the special seating last year we were able to find out who a lot of the people from this message board were. This year it was open seating and I did not hear anything about other members of this board attending the event. If you were there, speak up and let us know where you were sitting. My best guess is that there were somewhere between 800 and 900 seats in the room and that about 80 or 90 percent of them were filled.
Jeanne and I were in the section furtherest away from the entrance and on the isle about a third of the way back from the front. We were almost at the end of the autograph line. Our youngest son (28) was with us.

Our son took pics with his phone and he is to email them to me but hasn't done it yet. I haven't even seen them so don't know who he took pics of. We were too far away to take pics when they were speaking so the pics are from when they were autographing stuff.

Interesting Amy story. Amy was talking about how she has to figure out how to do things because she is a little person. She said she used to get clothes out of the washer using a spaghetti dipper or tongs. I assume she meant a top loading washer.

He was gone and back in like 2 minutes!
I forgot to tell you guys that my Little Family Big Values book now has been signed by all of the Roloffs. Molly and Zach went on and signed it again so I have two signatures for them. Remember when Cute said someone was selling that on Ebay for a $100-mine is priceless. It is not for sale!:mrgreen:

Those pics were taken by a camera phone that maybe part of the reason the quality is not good.

I think the quality is pretty good for a camera phone! That Jacob is so photogenic!

What does everyone think of his hair style? I think it is cute. Jake is such a cutie he would look cute with it down to his knees!

07-07-2008, 07:35 PM
Jeremy is much taller than I thought. He has to be way over 6 ft. When Amy introduced him. She told about him sometimes picking her up and swinging her around. I told Willie then that I had seen him do that on the show!

One of the sponsers of the event was Pepsi. Bear said that Zach was a major fan of Mountain Dew. Did you guys notice you can see 2 Mountain Dew cans in Zach's pic? :mrgreen: Maybe Jer drank them? The quick trip he made to the b-room.

Did you ask her to post here, Jeanne?
jeanne230
07-07-2008, 07:43 PM
Where you there Baerphish? It was cool. The emcee Bear said he better not see that soccer ball on ebay:roll: No true Roloff fan would ever do that!
jeanne230
07-07-2008, 07:45 PM
MS, I didn't even know Baerphish was there. It was not at all like the Matt visit. We were at the tail end of the autograph line and the people around us-the ones I talked to didn't know about this board. I told them:thumb:

I wanted to let the know that I was from tghe boards and I wanted to let them know that I was sad for the lost but people asked stupid ?

I hope somebody asked Amy to post here! :mrgreen:
jeanne230
07-07-2008, 07:55 PM
I keep remembering stuff Amy said and I have to post it! I hope you guys are not upset with me. Amy talked about how she can't get used to the fact that Molly can go shopping for clothes and find stuff that fits perfectly right off the rack. Amy said maybe she can buy some tops but most of her clothing has to be altered.
When Amy says on the show that she loves being a Mom that is so evident when she talks about her kids. She said she didn't have a hero growing up but now her heros are her kids. She was talking about heros because of the towns name is Metropolis and its claim to be home of Superman

Hello All! :-D
I was there and was sitting in the middle section six rows back with my wife. I was in an electric wheel and Amy was certainly great at telling the people how she dealt with being a dwarf all her life. I had the pleasure of shaking her hand when she out of the blue asked me how long I had been in wheelchair. I told her ever since I was 14 years old. She seemed impressed at how my spirits were and that is when I knew just how caring and down to earth she was. I guess it was because we both were different in our own ways.
The bottom line is that she was really interested what happened to me which gave me the feeling that I had just made a good friend. Yeah she is on TV, but Amy is still a person just like all of us and you could tell that she had the gift of bringing people's spirits up just by how she spoke.
Anyways, I will soon post some pictures here shortly ok?
Until then...
Best regards,
Brian

Amy did mention the messy house. She said that she didn't expect the show to last more than 6 episodes and she didn't want to do it so the house was left messy.
Riggs
07-08-2008, 05:57 PM
I Don't blame her Jeanne... its her house.. let her do what she wants...
jeanne230
07-08-2008, 06:04 PM
I think she meant the show LPBW. I actually like the messy house so it has never bothered me.:mrgreen:
Riggs
07-08-2008, 06:11 PM
Yea, I know, but I am glad that she doesn't really care on how messy her house is... as there are far more worse houses... that are wicked terrible..
jeanne230
07-08-2008, 06:20 PM
If anyone wants to see a MESSY House tune into the Messiest House in America on Style. YIKES that is a messy house. The Roloffs house is pristine clean compared to that.
Riggs
07-08-2008, 06:23 PM
yea, but what about those houses covered in trash, and feces everywhere... now thats a job for Mike Rowe...

Thank you Jarrett, nice pics. I noticed a camera crew in one shot. Were those TLC cameras or a local news crew? If they were TLC, maybe we'll see ya in another episode!
Nice connection, I bet it was exciting.

"THANK YOU" Quadone for the pictures. I enjoyed seeing them. I did notice tho, I think it was the one with Amy by herself, I zoomed in on it and it looks like Amy wasn't wearing her wedding rings. Ever since that one episode, where Amy told Matt that maybe they should separate, I have been trying to notice if she was wearing her wedding rings or not. I sure hope they haven't separated tho.

I JUST NOTICED THAT MYSELF. I ASSUME SINCE MORE EPISODES COMING IN THE FALL, THEY ARE STILL VERY MUCH TOGETHER. AT LEAST IT SEEMED THAT WAY WHEN WE ASKED HOW MATT WAS DOING. :-D
