Pumpkin Patch

The girls and I took our annual trip to the pumpkin patch a couple weeks ago when the 2 big girls were out of school. Sloan was busy at work finishing up the last tax deadline of the year, so a dear friend of mine, Leah Elrod, and I took the girls to Johnston Farms in Greenbriar. The weather was beautiful that day (other than a little hot) and thankfully, there were not mass amounts of school kids there, so we were actually able to enjoy our time at the pumpkin patch. The girls had a great time running through the rows of pumpkins, sticking their heads in the wood cutouts and yelling at me to "take a picture", looking at all the animals and trying to mimic the sounds that each one made so that the animal would in turn make that same sound (it worked with some of them). I think my favorite was when they gobbled like "girl turkeys" and made the big tom turkey puff out his feathers. Here are just a few pictures that I have edited...still need to work on the others.

Isabelle...5 & 1/2 years old

All my sweet girls at the pumpkin patch!!!

CA trip "Sneak Peak"

I had a great time in Cali while I was there. It was so good to go back and get to hang out with my family there. I really enjoyed getting to meet my cousin's wife, Macy (who I've been dying to meet for literally forever) and my cousin Amy's boyfriend, Joel...not too mention all my other cousins wives, husbands, kids, etc. Even though Eleanor and I flew out there for my grandmother's funeral, we did get to have some fun. Here is a pic of she and I at Huntington Beach...when I was little we literally went there EVERY Saturday, my mom, brothers and grandma...so many FUN memories there. E liked the beach, but did not like the COLD water (pics of that to come), but until then here is the one of she and I on the shore...what a BEAUTIFUL day!
