Official Pumpkin Patch Pictures

One of our favorite Fall traditions is going to the pumpkin patch with our sweet friends, the Morrises/Beemans.  (Morrises looks SO weird, but I think it's the correct way to make Morris plural.)

They are lifelong friends and it's amazing to see our own families grow over the years!  We are so blessed!  This year a teacher/photographer from my mom's school was doing a fundraiser for a family at the school that is going through some really tough things.  We were so happy to participate!

I think the pictures turned out really cute!  Chris informed me that this would be Reid's last Jon-Jon/Longall. :( I have to give him credit.  He's handled it very well over the last 3.5 years.  This one happens to be reversible though and has a turkey on the other side, so I can squeeze in one more holiday! Hehe! :) 

My babies...

Getting four kids to look at the camera is nearly impossible, but I still love these pictures of our precious punkins!

Love those beautiful, brown-eyed Beemans!  

 Reid looks entirely too old in this picture.  

 This one makes me laugh!  He was over it.  

A few group shots with our own cameras...

I love a good comparison, so here are our pictures from the last 3 years!

Clara (about 3 months), Reid (about 5 months)

 Reid (almost 18 months), Clara (about 15 months)

 We couldn't get one of all three together last year, but here are Reid and Clara (around 2.5 years) and Georgia Kate (about 3 months).

Do you think they will still let us do this when they are in high school?  We are definitely planning on it. ;)

Blessington Farms

We have had the most perfect weather this weekend!  We headed out to Blessington Farms yesterday morning with some friends and had a great time!  I'll let the pictures do the talking...

Always on the move!  

We loved looking at all of the different pumpkins!

 Reid was more interested in finding sticks to bring home and add to his collection than looking at pumpkins.

We are planning to head to the zoo this afternoon to continue enjoying the Fall weather!  

Picture Post

This was the first time Reid wanted to actually wear his backpack instead of carrying it.  He looked so big!

We went to the park one day to feed the ducks.  I was so stressed out by this situation and Reid could not have been more thrilled!

Reid loves to build fire stations for all of his firetrucks!

Daddy and his little mini...

Messy dinner = sink bath!

I love it when Reid's teacher (aka my wonderful friend Katy) sends me pictures of what he's up to!  I know I am a broken record, but HOW is my baby old enough to go to school and be the calendar helper?! He had been talking about wanting to be calendar helper since the first day of school.  He was sooo excited!

Reid asked me how to spell lion when we were driving one day.  I had no idea he knew how to write letters yet and I was so proud of him (I helped with the n). :)

She loves to put her head to the side and wait for us to say, "awwww!" Sassy.

I just took this picture of Chris and Reid walking to the car after church.  

Baby feet in little white sandals.  Eeeek!

This isn't the best picture, but Georgia Kate loved clapping and dancing at Little Gym last week!

I have a problem with buying everything peach that I see for our little Georgia peach.  This bow ended up not matching anything in her closet, so we wear it with our diapers around the house ;)

Reid and Chris had Dad's Night at school!  They were supposed to dress in their favorite team's colors.

I LOVE this little survey!

I don't have very many Fall decorations, but I made this little banner this year to hang on the mantle with my glitter pumpkins.  I love my glitter pumpkins. :)

The kids and I made this Fall tree!  I love anything with a handprint! 

Reid and I were going to have a mommy/son date to the library to check out books for the first time, but it was closed for the day!  He said, "I feel so disappointed." Daniel Tiger has really helped Reid get in touch with his emotions. :) We ended up having lunch and ice cream and had the best time!  He's growing up so quickly, but I love getting to know the person he's becoming. 

Wild hair and a personality to match!  I just love this girl!

She can thank her daddy for those eyes...

HAPPY OCTOBER!
