One of my favorite things that I look forward to every fall. It's one of my favorite traditions that I do with my kids. I was so excited to take J with us for the first time. Last year when we took E to the pumpkin patch, I was dealing with severe morning sickness and ate two snow cones just to not throw up while we were there. Ha! Things are definitely different this year and I am very thankful.

We go to the same pumpkin patch about 30 minutes away. They have bounce houses, hay rides, a train, lots of character boards, and hay mazes. It is so much fun! We always have fun. We didn't stay too long because it was hot but we did have a lot of fun!

The sun was so bright so the kids had a hard time looking at the camera if it was in their eyes. We stopped to get a picture with Clifford - one of E's favorites. We have a plethora of Clifford books at home.












We tried to get pictures of them together. They didn't look at the camera at the same time. J was more interested at something going on off camera, but the cuteness is still there!




I LOVE THIS PICTURE!! They aren't looking at the camera but I love this picture. The sun rays are just awesome.

Yesterday, Jason had the day off from work so we took E to the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch. It was so much fun and definitely worth the drive! We took her to this patch last year when she was just 2 months old, and it was so fun to watch her run around this year to all the different cut outs, pumpkins, and play vehicles.

Before I had kids, I would always dream of the days that I could take my kids to the pumpkin patch. Kelly from Kellys Korner talked about it the other day, and I couldn't agree more with her. It was something that I always wanted and didn't know if my day would ever come. Now instead of looking at the pumpkin patch with longing, I look at it and thank God above that He has blessed me with my beautiful daughter. I am so so thankful.

They had wooden figures of the Duck Dynasty people and I thought that I got a picture of all of them but I must have been too busy chasing a certain 13 month old =). Here she is with Miss Kay.

We went to the pumpkin patch yesterday. It was a very quick trip but it was fun.  As we were driving there the cold front came through earlier than they expected, and we had a slight rain storm. We waited out the rain storm in the car and when I opened the car door, the wind had picked up and the temperature was definitely cooler. We hurried to take a few pictures and then left.  It's okay though because we got some cute pictures of the little miss!

I am so excited to be a part of the Favorite Fall Finds Blog Swap this year! My partner was Ashley from The Sweet Life, and it was so fun to exchange gifts. It was great getting to know her through this process.  She is such a sweetie - you guys should go check out her blog!
