It's been a long time....Pumpkin Patch 2013

Wow!  I can't believe it's been a year since my last post.  Blogging helps me keep my pictures organized and to preserve some of these memories, so I'm going to do my best to catch up and stay more current with my blog.

We made our annual visit to the Pumpkin Patch yesterday with the Murrays.  The weather was perfect, and we had a great time.  We hopped on the hayride and our first stop was the tree house. 

Then we walked to the lake to watch some people fishing and headed over to the games.

 

 

 

 

Then we took a few pictures with the pumpkins.

 

Pumpkin Patch 2012

We visited a local Christmas Tree farm/turned Pumpkin Patch on Saturday.  We started off on a hayride around the property, which dropped us off at this large tree house.  The kids climbed straight to the top!

Yay!  They're both smiling!

There were many things to do on the property.  They had tee pees to play in, bikes to ride, and duck races.

She was a little too short to reach the pedals on this one.



So was Cooper.

Then we picked our pumpkins.

Cooper was so excited to discover a "horsie"!

Love their faces!

Halloween

We had a fun Halloween this year.  Aubrey was so excited about all of the Halloween fun!  She helped me clean out the pumpkin so we could carve it. 

Last year Aubrey wouldn't stick her hand in the pumkin.  She told me it was gross. 

The Finished Jack-O-Lantern

Aubrey had a great time trick-or-treating and getting to pick a piece of candy after dinner for the next few weeks.  We went to a few houses in our neighborhood and headed home to pass out candy to the rest of the trick-or-treaters.  Aubrey dressed up as Silvermist (one of Tinkerbell's fairy friends) and Cooper was Mickey Mouse.

Can you see her excitement in this picture?

How about this one?

You can definitely see it here!

Cooper was rubbing his eyes before we left.  He was a troooper!  I ended up carrying him home.

Taking pictures of two children is hard work sometimes.  For every 1 or 2 good photos of the two of them smiling and looking at the camera, I get lots of these...

But they still make me smile!
