pickin' pumpkins

Hi Everyone ~ We sure have had a busy few weeks...Brady turning 15 months old, Daddy's birthday, preschool pictures, a trip to the children's museum in Greensboro (yes, again...that's how much we loved it!), and a trip to Patterson Farms. Enjoy our pictures!

Here we are at Patterson Farms. We've never been in the fall to pick pumkins...we've only picked yummy strawberries here. So, we were pretty excited. Here I am...of course, with the sun right in my eyes!

And, one of Brady...

Could his precious face be any cuter? (Mommy added that...not me :))

And, with one Mommy & us

Before we took a wagon ride and picked pumpkins, we got to walk around, see the animals, play on the playground, play on the farm equipment, and eat lunch. Brady saw this picture of the bunny, and he walked right up to it and gave it a kiss...so cute!

Then, he found this big golf cart and LOVED it, especially when he found the horn button...

Go Brady!

Me...well, I chose the tractor, of course :)

At the playground, they had these mini versions of John Deere equipment, so Mommy used that as a photo opportunity...
Brady often checks throughout the day to make sure his bellybutton is still where it needs to be!

And...another one of Brady...relaxin' on the tractor!

Now...my turn on the tractor!

I also got to swing on this "horse" swing. It was fun!

After playing for a while, we had lunch. Afterwards, we played some more. Here, my cousin, Jackson, and I were taking a little rest.

Our group...Brady (15 mo), Me (3), Jackson (3), & Brayden (6)

We were also quite entertained by watching the animals...and the tractors!

Having fun!

Brady watching all the action going on, too!

And, watching together, too!

Time to feed the animals. We got to feed a peacock right out of the cup! It was exciting!

After watching me, it was Brady's turn!
He LOVED it, too! In fact, he didn't want to let go of the cup afterwards, but it was time to for the wagon ride and pick pumpkins!

Wagon ride time!

And, finally...time to pick a pumpkin. So many choices... ...maybe this one...

Brady walks around looking at all the "balls," as he called them!Maybe this one looks good...

...checking it out...

...maybe this one...

Here it is...my pumpkin!

Getting to know his pumpkin!

Meanwhile, I am still deciding...

And...look what I found!

Me & my pumpkin

I sat with my pumpkin (& the one I picked for Daddy) just watching everything going on!
Smile for Mommy!
This time...a smile & a pose for Mommy!
Brady still figuring out the whole pumpkin thing out!
"Look, Momma!"

This is the look he gave as he watched Brayden & Jackson run around!

And, a sweet smile for Aunt Courtney!

Then, finally one for Mommy!
1st of many attempts for the picture...

And, the best attempt...me & Brady!

I think Brady was having a "chat" with his pumpkin.

Me sporting Mommy's sunglasses...

...while Brady takes one last look at all the pumpkins!

What a great day!
