THE MAGICAL PUMPKIN PATCH!!

Mommy and Olivia.-This year she was in the sling, last year she was in my belly!

"I want this one!"-Matthew always knows which pumpkin to get!!

I LOVE this picture of Matthew!! It just gives me that wonderful fall feeling!!

The sweetest pumpkins!!


I have 2 wuss kids!! They were scared to go on the hay ride!!

Matthew jumping into a hay pile!

I love this picture because we took one last year with Matthew alone, and now we have two pumpkin holes filled. Steve says that next year we need to fill the last hole!

I adore this picture of Matthew and Olivia. I never grew up with siblings and so this is the way I envisioned siblings would be.

This is us on the hay ride. Anyway, I have a feeling this is going to be a great Holiday season!!


Ahh, yes.. Nothing like a good ol' pumpkin patch to make you feel like FALL is here. Even though I could have jumped on the hay ride in my bathing suit, it's still nice to see other colors besides green. I love fall, it's my favorite season! Fall gives me such a cozy feeling, like snuggling up with a cup of hot chocolate in my Winnie the pooh socks. -Yes, I have Winnie the pooh socks! And YES!! I'm so ready for the holidays. I miss my mom and family in Dallas, and I miss the cooler weather! Anyway, I guess living away from the family is good too. I mean we just created a family tradition last year. We have now pronounced the Pumpkin Patch on Huebner OUR pumpkin patch!! I know there may be nicer, bigger, cooler pumpkin patches in SA but we went to this one last year and the people running the patch are so nice!! And because I was pregnant last year we looked forward to coming back this year with our newest addition. So, hopefully the patch will be here until it is time for us to move because Matthew loves it!! Ever since last year every time we go past the small church where they set up the patch, Matthew always asks for the "puckins". And finally, this time when Matthew asked about the pumpkins they were there, so we had to stop and get a couple pumpkins and load up on the "FALL FEELING"! Steve enjoyed it a ton too, because pumpkins mean two things: Halloween and VACATION!!! We can't wait for Thanksgiving and CHRISTMAS!!! Ok, I'm getting ahead of myself, but I can't help it I think, FALL IS HERE!!!

How fun. Your kids look so cute in all those pumpkins. We went to that same "pumpkin patch" with our kids while in SA. It was fun, but I'm glad to be back in a state that has real pumpkin patches. I too, love the fall season. It looks like you guys had a great family outing!!

We need to go get some pumpkins! I've always driven by that church yard, but have never stopped by! That looked like a lot of fun! And I agree I think next year you need to fill that last hole!

What a great idea! I always just buy the ones at HEB but this would be a fun tradition to start! Matthew and Olivia look so cute sitting in the hay!
