PuMpKiN PaTcH fUn

Hey everyone! So Jared and Courtney and there kids were here this weekend and I really wanted to take them all to a pumpkin patch. So Courtney found a few and we picked one out and went. It was so much fun! I think I probably had more fun than anyone though because I loved taking pics of the kiddos with the pumpkins. I am getting addicted to photography lately and I love getting good pics and editing them in cute ways. It started with scrapbooking which I got into when Peyton was in the NICU. Now its progressed. I love it and I really wish I could get a nice camera and take some classes. Anyway, I did my best. It was a really cute family run place out in the country part of Houston. Normally the place is an exotic pet farm but during the holidays they add on the pumpkin patch and stuff. It was adorable! They had normal farm animals, goats, horses, etc. and then some not so normal animals like llamas, a pot belly pig, a little tiny deer (i'm not kidding it was tiny like 10 inches and SO CUTE), and some lemur type thing, and (my favorite) a little JOEY (thats a baby kangaroo). The joey just hopped around the patch and would come right up to you and let you feed it and pet it. The kids LOVED it! So did I! I REALLY want one for myself (too bad they grow up...too bad anything grows up!). They also had face painting and pumpkin decorating as well as a scarecrow dress up area. It was really fun. I told Daniel that when we have our little house in the country out there someday I'm definately going to do a pumpkin patch. I got a million pics so I picked a few of my favorites to post on here! Hope you like them!

The pictures you take look great. I'm not so good at taking pictures. Kolby always gives me a hard time cuz i can never get things centered and I always manage to cut off heads, or other important parts.

Catherine--I just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed your testimony in RS on Sunday. It's so hard when life throws you a curve, and after what you guys went through with Peyton you really didn't need anymore curves! You should have had a straight road for a while. I know the Lord knows what's best for us but I wish he'd share a little more information sometimes. It's hard not to ask "why me" at times and harder still to think "why NOT me?". I hope things are better for you this week. It's great that you have such a supportive husband and family. You are an inspiration to me! And Peyton is such a cutie!!
