Fall is my favorite time of the year!
I love the season, the weather, the upcoming holidays,
and family traditions!!
One of my favorites is Howell's Pumpkin Patch!
We have been taking the girls here for at least 6 or 7 years.
I can remember many trips with a baby strapped to my chest,
huddling together for warmth, or stripping layers off b/c of a heat wave!
No matter what the weather, it's always a good trip to the Pumpkin Patch!
Every year, our first stop is the growth chart.
 |
| Avery: so big and tall! |
 |
| Claire: getting bigger, and too grown-up, every year! |
 |
| Ella: my baby is not a baby anymore! |
After the mandatory growth chart photos, we spend some time
playing in the "kid corral". I love that our kids are never too big
to enjoy a tire swing, corn pit, or hay mountain!
 |
| Cowgirl Ella! |
 |
| Howell's has become a bit commercial, but we still love it! |
 |
| The Claires |
 |
| What a beautiful baby. I love my Aves~ |
 |
| The Log. A fall favorite of all the kiddos, with a helping hand from Dad, of course! |
 |
| Our big girls. I pray they always remember how much they used to love to walk along a log, run through the corn maze, and giggle by the goats. I am so proud of the amazing young ladies these two are growing up to be, and I am so grateful they have each other, through thick and thin! |
 |
| Our girls! What a treasure! |
 |
| Mommy and Avery! |
Traditions and good friends are so important.
They remind me of where I've been.
They help me enjoy where I am.
They give me courage to embrace what lies ahead.
