fall.

The kids and I have been back in TX for a few days. I am selling some  A lot of stuff in the JBF sale this weekend.

So we planned to make our annual trip to the pumpkin patch with the In-laws.... but without Nat. :(

Life's just not the same without him!! We still have fun and enjoy time with family, but I can't help but to feel a sense of emptiness when were here without him. The kids had a lot of fun. Stetson was a little tired due to not liking to sleep in the car. 

Ergo.. Pumpkin Patch 2011.

Stetson was more interested in the dogs next door and poor Uncle Karl was the chaser of this one.

Ok, so I settled on the fact I do have 3 small children... and its hard to get 1 small child to look at a camera and smile... much less 3. So I made a deal with myself long ago that I would settle with what they give me and hang it on my wall no matter what they're doing... and I have. But I do want 1 simple picture of them all 3 looking and smiling. YES, that is too much to ask for!!! I know.

 We desperately need some family pics done so maybe someone thats not me can get them to look at the camera..... if that day shall ever come.

anyways.... here it is. All 3 of them at their best.

There is a real pumpkin patch that I found thats kinda sorta close to us (in NM). Real as in go out in the field and get your punkin, go through a maze and cool junk like that. I've never been to one like that.... but I really really REALLY wanna go to one someday. I don't know that Nat's days off will suffice this year.... but here's to hopin!! If not I hope that we can go next year.
