It's Fall!!

I'm beyond thrilled that Fall is finally here.  It is by far my favorite season of the year!  One of our favorite October traditions is to visit our favorite little pumpkin patch.  They have animals you can feed, a hay maze, a hay ride, food, and of course...pumpkins!  This is our third year in a row to go and it has turned into a tradition of sorts.

Check out how much Evan has grown in the past year!  I was able to get so many more pictures of Evan last year.  Nowadays he won't stay still and he doesn't want to smile when you ask him to.  He is definitely independent and will let you know it!

Evan was scared of the longhorns and only wanted Matt to feed them.  He eventually found a nice, safe spot on Matt's shoulders. 

The goats were a different story.  I guess they were less intimidating.  After much coaxing, Evan put food in his hand and fed the goats.  He was so very proud.  My mom LOVES coming with us to the pumpkin patch.  I think it will be a tradition to also bring Gaga along with us.  My mom was kind enough to stand behind the camera and capture some family pictures.

Confession:  I seriously cannot believe I have a kid who has BLUE eyes.  I've always wished that I had blue eyes...but boring brown is what I was given.  I know that James is still very young and his eyes can change any day, but I will soak up these blue eyes for as long as I can.  And then I'll cross my fingers forever in hopes that they stay blue. 

I attempted to get a couple of brother pictures.  James was all for it.  I mean, he was even okay with the dangerous lean your kid against some round pumpkins act.  He's a rebel I tell you.  Unfortunately, Evan would have rather followed the cute little kitty that was wondering around in the background of this picture.  I'm the mean mama that set him down next to the pumpkins and wouldn't let him chase it.  He punished me by whining and refusing to smile.  Touche Evan.  Touche.  

I'm loving this Fall tradition of ours.  I mean, I'm an Aggie.  We love our traditions!
