The Pumpkin Patch.

Yesterday we took Maddux to the "pumpkin patch"! I have to say it like that because lets be realistic, it was at a church, in the grass, with a busy street beside it, and the pumpkins were organized on wooden crates to make it feel like a real pumpkin patch. Regardless, we had fun. Thank you so much to our friends Steph and Brandon for inviting us!

I love the thought of starting traditions with my family, the pumpkin patch will definitely be one. Hopefully someday it will include cinnamon sugar donuts and hot apple cider, I trust it will. I would call our first trip to the pumpkin patch a success! Someone loved checking everything out....

He even cooperated while his crazy momma took pictures of him sitting in the middle of the pumpkins! 

We then of course had to attempt pictures of Maddux and his friend Hudson (they are 4 days apart). Let me say this, it isn't easy capturing a picture of two 4 month old boys barely strong enough to hold themselves up. Good thing they were surrounded by pumpkins. :) 

And then they let us know they were done. Ready to not be propped up by pumpkins anymore...

I wanted one last attempt at a good family shot with my boys...

And since Maddux wouldn't take his thumb out of his mouth, we thought we'd suck our thumbs too.

So many wonderful memories made. I can't wait to take him back next year and chase him all around!

I love the little man...
