Trip to The Pumpkin Patch 2010

I know these are late.....but better late than never!!
For many years now we have made a trip to the pumpkin patch at a local church for pics and to pick out our prize pumpkin! This year we were very lucky the weather cooperated so we were able to get Miss Kelsee out. The kids enjoy doing the same things every year....having pics taken in the scarecrow and pumpkin, "using the outhouse", playing in the pumpkins, playing in the hay barn, and usually playing on the bridge...but for some reason the bridge was not there this year. We have taken many trips to the pumpkin patch...Nana and Mimi have both joined us, we have done pics in Halloween shirts, we have joined friends, and even had the kids wear their costumes a few times. There are ALOT of pics to share so I did the whole collage thing again...I just can't weed out very many...sorry!
All 3 kids with the 2 prize pumpkins! The big one for Kaylee and Braden to carve w/ Daddy and you can sort of see the lil one they picked for Kelsee.
Wagons are a MUST at the patch. Usually they will both get a wagon and pile it with pumpkins and off they go, but this year Kaylee decided the girls needed to ride and the boy needed to pull them! :)
Pics in the hay barn....hard to imagine just a few years ago I had to lift them up on the bales!
LOTS of pics of all 3 of my beautiful kiddos! The one on the top right is my fav!!
Just a few cute fun pics!
Of course there is a story for these! Dale and Braden found this pumpkin with a big dip in it and decided Kelsee needed to have her pic in it! So they get it all set up and we take the pic. As you can tell she thought she was falling! There were 2 or 3 other families taking pics of babies that day too and yes you guessed it...we started something! Too cute!!
Most of the pics are taken so the hunt for the prize pumpkin is on! This year Braden and Dale took on this task. They searched for probably 10 minutes for the PERFECT one! Once it was found it was time to load it up. Braden pulled, tugged, twisted, turned, lifted and nothing! So Daddy loaded it up for him to pull to the front.
And they all had to be a scarecrow!! Even Kelsee!
Our beautiful oldest daughter!
Our handsome boy!
And our precious baby girl! Kelsee was a trooper on her first trip to the pumpkin patch! She slept the WHOLE time!!
I cherish the pics greatly. I know that in the years to come our pics are going to change immensely. In a few short years Kelsee will be a handful to capture sitting still...Kaylee will be too busy with her new teenage life to join us...Braden will decide this is "lame" and I will be lucky to capture a smile....oh how things have already and are going to change! Can I PLEASE just freeze time right now!!!??
