Great Pumpkin

....Patch that is. Well not so great actually, because the pumpkin patch that we wanted to visit this year was closed for some reason. I think the major rain and tornado storms this year did some major ruining of all their pumkins. So off to the mini pumpkin patch on Highway 5 for us! Which ended up being just enough, because Elem could only be entertained by pumpkins for a short time. When we first arrived he was sooo excited. All week at school we had been studying pumpkins and I had the kids holding them and touching them and saying learning the word pumpkin. So as soon as we got out of the car Elem yelled, "pumpin" "ohhhh pumpin". It was so cute. He does love his some pumpkins. He has upgraded them from balls to pumpkins. At the beginning of the season they were balls, now they are pumpkins. So smart. Here he is when we first arrived.


All the pumpkins were about the same size, which was just big enough for him to climb on top of. he is going through this little phase right now where he wants to climb up and sit on top of everything. Almost like when he gets on top of it he is thinking-I am king of the world up here-everyone look how big I am! He has pretty good balance these days and there is really no stopping him, because before you know it, you here a little grunt, turn around, and there he is, on top of something random like its nothing.


As you can imagine he was a little too occupied by all the pumpins to sit tight with me for a while. But it was just fun being there, even if I didnt get the perfect mommy and me pic, as I like to call them! haha.

Right before we were leaving to head to the pumpkin patch that morning, Ali had called and said they were heading there also, so it worked out perfect and we got some great shots of the kids together. And they aso entertained each other for a little while as well. Since Elem is such a big strong boy and had already been there for a little while, he tried to show sissy what was up and how he could pick up the pumkin. Just like a man....

Arent they so cute though?

After major pumpkin checking out, we headed over to some of the display things that you might buy to put in your garden to catch a few shots. Elem and Cecilia loved the little mini bridge they had. They kept running across it, and then back around and then running across it and then back around. Mind you it was like 3 feet long, but still they had fun!

Can anyone guess who took a dive first? haha that would be Elem zane, too daring and too fast for his own good. But no one got hurt so all was well.


Elem and Cecilia are so god for each other at this age, being just 3 months apart because they somewhat keep each other entertained longer than we might be able to. SO, kt actually leaves times for a decent mommy daddy picture!


But nothing beats a good ole kiss. Elem is sooo into giving kisses right now, especially to Cecilia! As soon as she walks into a room he is saying his sissy hi sissy and all up in her face. When its time to go and anytime you ask him to go give sissy kisses he is right on it. They might hate me one day for this pic but I think it is adorable and shows how close little cousins can be. Kissy kissy. Him loves his sissy.
