Wyatt pumpkin patch college

This is a collage I made in Photoshop. I'm trying to build my skills with making collages in Photoshop (a big selling point I can add when I have my photography business hopefully in spring 2009.) I'm learning more and more everyday about Photoshop (there's A LOT to learn). I think this turned out cute! =)

One of my favorite days of the year!

One of my favorite days of the year is our trip to the pumpkin patch. Fall is my favorite season. I just love the cool weather, the fresh country fall air, the smells,the leaves changing, and the pumpkin patch. We went to 2 different pumpkin patches this year because the first one was only open to pick your own pumpkins on the weekend. (We like to pick our own out of the field.) We took our pictures in the cut out stands and picked a few gourds before we were off to the second farm. We had so much fun and just really enjoyed a great family day! =)

I LOVE the picture of Wyatt and I in the field of pumpkins! David took this picture and it's one of my all time favorites! Great job hubby and thanks so much for the awesome photo! =)

*Since this is my favorite day of the year I took tons of photos... so I'll be posting even more later in the week! Enjoy!! =)

Fun times together in the fall! =)

It isn't easy getting 3 young children to look at the camera at the same time to smile too. I'm happy with how these still turned out. The sun was bright and the weather perfect so I can't complain. A great fun time for us all! =) Wyatt is almost 1 in these photos, Emma 2 3/4, and Dakota 4 3/4 years old. It's hard to believe that last year at this time Wyatt wasn't even born. The year has flown by that's for sure! =)

Emma's special pumpkin =)

Emma has been using the work "special" for everything. She loves using the word. At the pumpkin patch she found her own little special baby pumpkin. She carried it all over the pumpkin patch. She was so cute! She had fun riding in the wagon with her baby brothertoo . She really enjoyed picking out the little bitty baby pumpkins. She was so cute just peeking over the edge of the wagon and just barely reaching the little bitty pumpkins (I love that photo of her). She liked having her own wagon and tried filling it up with all the little pumpkins and gourds. She had a great time! =)

As a side note I just love her orange sweater. She looks so adorable in it if I do say so myself! =)

Dakota's beauty of a pumpkin! =)

Dakota had fun running all over the place trying to pick up the big pumpkins. He'd point them out and say "this is a beauty mom." He had a blast! He was so excited after we picked out all of our pumpkins from the field (it was a hard choice because the selection was awesome this year) and he got to have his own little wagon. He tried to fill it up with lots of little pumpkins before we told him he could pick out just a few (nice try though little buddy). He's getting to be so big and that just makes our pumpkin patch day that much more fun because he enjoyes it so much too! =)

More sunflower family photos =)

Emma wasn't so thrilled about having her picture taken in the scarecrow man and woman photo. =}

Sunflower Family =)

Sunflower faces are always fun to do!! =) We had a good time becoming sunflowers at the pumpkin patch. Cheesy but cute! =)

My little pumpkin

Wyatt loved the pumpkin patch. He gave us so many big smiles and loved crawling around in the grass. He enjoyed riding in the wagon too. I just love so many of the adorable pictures I was able to capture of my sweet little pumpkin! =) (lots more to blog too) =)
