It's Pumpkin Time

The last time we went to a pumpkin patch was in Maryland. The scenery was beautiful and as you can tell my kids were much younger. Obviously, they don't remember much.

Living in AZ there aren't many pumpkin patches to choose from and none of them are close by. With the help of my parents we drove down to Wilcox, AZ. I thought it was in the middle of no where!
We went to Apple Annie's Orchard and Pumpkin Patch.
We had a great time!
We took a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch. They each chose their own pumpkin. Of course Emmet had to pick the biggest he could find!
There was an amazing corn maze that we took the kids through. Along with rows and rows of beautiful sunflowers. One of my favorites! We also were able to pick green beans, a variety of peppers, squash, zucchini and tomatoes!! It's such a novelty here to pick fresh food.

This girl and clothes

Every morning is a battle getting Emery dressed. She has her own ideas about fashion. This is her latest outfit. She adds this blue belt to everything. I finally told Emery's school teacher she has more than two shirts in her closet and I promise I wash them. I've resorted to hiding some articles of clothing. Thank goodness it's starting too cool off so we can retire some outfits.

My Seven Year Old!

This was taken on his birthday. I swear the older he gets the less he wants to smile for the camera. He'd rather make faces! Emmet was super excited to turn seven. All his birthday wishes came true!
