Fun Times at the Puh-kin Patch!

Today we met our friends, The Creels, at the pumpkin patch! The Garretts were supposed to be there too, but poor little Jayla was feeling under the weather so they had to stay home. We sure did miss them.
What a fun (and rather warm) morning we had chasing the kiddos around!
We love our time that we get to spend with Michael, Candis, and Camden...although next time we see them, less chasing, more visiting!

First adventure of the pumpkin patch ~ Horse Ride!
Kyan was a little nervous at first, but loved it after about 3 seconds!


While Kyan was riding a horse, the girls were playing in the corn!


Adore this picture, not sure what they are looking at, but they sure are focused!

A favorite at the pumpkin patch is the animals! This time you got to use the grinder to make the food for them! Kyan was in heaven!





Sliding!


Train time!!!
In an earlier post I mentioned that today Kyan displayed what a great big brother he is!
Lola was dying to ride on the train too, just like big brother, but we thought that maybe the first time she should sit with him (this was after Chad tried climbing in and couldn't fit). Of course she was going to want to be in charge the second she sat down, and he just let her! He put his arm around her, to protect her from climbing out, but also, to comfort her if she was too scared. She loved the first go around and Kyan was promised another trip, by himself, for being so helpful!









The second time around the train ride did NOT go as smooth. Kyan of course did just fine, but once the train left the station, Lola was a wreck. Big brother was there to save the day again when the driver asked if this was his sister and could she hop in with him. He graciously said yes, but she was having none of it and I grabbed her (I was chasing the train, as I figured this might happen) and let Kyan enjoy 5 minutes to himself!






My Lolaboo

She was trying to take her clothes off in the corn?! Not really sure why, maybe it was itching her, but I had to tell her more than once to quit it!



So for just a few dollars, you could launch tomatoes into the field! The boys had fun!

My handsome little guy!




So much for family photos today - I'll have to settle for some separate ones!


...until next year pumpkin patch!

I like our little Halloween tradition, but you are RIGHT about the chasing. I'm not trying to have Camden grow up too quickly, but I'm looking forward to next year's trip, so she can have a little LESS A.D.D.!

Glad we got to see you, though, & you captured some cute moments. I did alright with the girls' shots, but you DOMINATE me! That is why you're the pro. Michael is designing a pretty darn CUTE birdie for you!......hope you get to see soon...

I am with Candis-I too like our Halloween tradition and we were SOOOO sad that Jayla got sick. It figures that the first time she would get sick is on a big event like this.

Okay so there are so many great pictures I want to comment on...

1. I love seeing the girls play in the corn, they both look so big and very independent. What a change from last year ;)

2. I love Lo's outfit. She looks so darn cute.

3. I love Kyan's shirt- I am getting the feeling, target was the place to be for the outfits of the day :)

4. I was dying laughing at the picture with Lola choking the chick out. Poor little chicky chicky. HA!!

5. Kyan is so cute on the horsie *Jayla's personal favorite picture*

6. Last but not least- I love the new header picture. I know I always say this, but Kyan and Lola are so cute together. He really is such a great brother. AND YOU ARE A GREAT PHOTOG, always capturing these great moments on camera.

I'm so glad you guys had a great time... Until next year :(, we will try this one again.
