Pumpkin Patch

Going to pick out a pumpkin is always fun!  We are lucky that there are churches so close that have pumpkins so we didn't have to drive very far to go to a "real" pumpkin patch this year.  We'll go eventually but the kids are still a little too young.  This was exciting for them, too!

Lyla enjoyed the pumpkins way more than last year!  One of our framed pictures at home is one where she is screaming in the middle of pumpkins!  Too cute, (but glad she's not screaming very often anymore)

 

 

 

Cade has started "smiling" when we ask him to, unfortunately it is really forced and turns into a painful looking face. 

 

 

Probably the best one!

 Happy Fall Y'all!

Being Creative

So, for those that don't know me, I LOVE to craft, create, sew, paint, etc. Whatever I can figure out I try! So, with a little more time on my hands with the kids in Mother's Day Out and me not tutoring, yet I've been spending my time "crafting".

Check out what I've been making...

Burlap Christmas Ornament

Boo Banner...I've sold 6 of these on Etsy!

Giraffe Baby Taggie for my sweet friend Tiff's little girl.  Tiff loves giraffes (it's part of her proposal story) so I thought this was perfect!

Housewarming/Fall Gift for my friend Steph.

Random Candy Corn banner I made one day for no one in particular, then I sold one the next day on Etsy!

My favorite banner I've made!!! 

Monster taggie for my friend Angela's new little boy!

Birthday Purses for 3 super cute little girls!

I can see clearly now...

My friend let me borrow her Nikon lens. It's the one that I thought I had bought before my cruise, but I didn't read about it enough and ordered the wrong one.  Now, this one is definetly on my Christmas list!

It is super clear and has such a blurry background!!  Enjoy these candid shots of my kids!
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Fall Y'all!

I LOVE DECORATING FOR SEASONS!!!!  Fall and Christmas are about the only 2 that I decorate for, so I'm always so excited when fall comes around!

It means cooler weather, football, our anniversary, plus my favorite holiday (Thanksgiving).

Here's some of my decorations that we got out of the attic.  I actually had Ryan pull them out of the attic on September 1, but I've been making some stuff for the past month, so here's my almost finished product.
