The Pumpkin Patch 2015


Emmy's favorite fall book is Duck and Goose find a Pumpkin.  It has been a household staple since she was a few months old.  Because of that book I take her to the pumpkin patch every year in El Campo, so she can find a pumpkin too...and take a bunch of photos.

When we got to the patch this year, we found our pals Jackson and Wyatt.  These four are going to be so close.

They were ready to leave, so we stayed on course and kept going alone.  We knew we only had a limited amount of time before we needed to leave for Dylan's party.

They sky was a little overcast, so it really was one of the nicer times we have had at the patch.  Juggling two little people was different, but we managed our expectations and our time.  Things that would have made me cry when Emmy was a baby (and I still believed in perfection) were laughed off that day.

It always nice when you have good help though.

Lincoln thought the pumpkins were orange balls of awesome that should be licked and tasted.

I've got a pretty good group don't I?

I got a few more smiles from him than I did from Emmy that first year.

Daddy took her over to the moon bounce and pumpkin painting area while I worked with Lincoln.  That's teamwork right there!

It was probably the most fun we have had at the pumpkin patch, and we made it in and out of there in just a little over an hour.  We need to do more things with that laid back carefree attitude!

Happy Fall Y'all

Marlee came to see us, and we had tons of fun taking fall photos.  The theme of these is Happy Fall Y'all.  Enjoy!

The Pumpkin Patch {2013}

We took Emmy to the pumpkin patch again this year. One of the local sororities puts it on, and they really go all out setting up little photo areas and games for the kids.

For the first little while, Emmy was not being super cooperative, and a little part of me was very scared that I might just spank her in front of everyone.  Luckily Bradley was with me, so he took over for a few minutes so I could cool down.   We gave her a snack and moved on.

We met up with some friends and family along the way.

We saw ABBY!  I think seeing her BFF produced the biggest smiles.  Unfortunately, this was the best one that I got of both of them.  Better luck next year girls!

We took a family picture, but unfortunately this was during the time when Emmy wasn't really feeling the whole photo and hay thing.  Maybe next year I will let her wear jeans so that she can sit on a hay bale without crying.

She was a little scared of the scarecrow this year. The pictures got progressively closer to tears with each frame.

At some point, she found these glasses in my bag, and she let me know that she was done.  It was time to go home.

It was a fun day, and I am very grateful that these ladies put together such an awesome event for our community. :)
