Pumpkin Patch 2014

While we were in Texarkana, we hit up a local floral shop for some pumpkins. They had the most precious set up, and we went at the perfect time! We were the only ones there and a great time was had by all! David, Elizabeth, and I wound up with some pretty cute pumpkins out of the deal, and I'll post pictures of the kids pumpkins once they get them painted. 

Pumpkin Patch 2013

This past weekend we went to Abilene to see Alan's parents. While we were there, we were able to go to a local pumpkin patch. The crazy thing is that I looked up pumpkin patches in Abilene, but hadn't said anything to Alan's mom. Two days later, she called to see if I wanted to take the kids to one and it turned out to be the exact same one that I had looked up. And of course I said yes!!

Not so sure about this hug...

Alan's parents also have this awesome tractor in their backyard that we took some pictures on for Elizabeth's first Thanksgiving. I was so excited that they still have it because I really liked how the pictures of Elizabeth turned out.

Pumpkin Patch... Take Two

On Saturday, we went to another pumpkin patch with some friends whose daughter is 3 months younger than Elizabeth. It wasn't exactly what I had expected, but we still managed to get some decent pictures. Don't tell Alan, but we're going to have to find another one so I can get some pictures of him and Elizabeth... ;)

Pumpkin Patch... Take One

Yesterday, Elizabeth and I went to the pumpkin patch with the girls (and their kids) in our Sunday School class. Once we got there, I started trying to take pictures of E, and this is what I got...

If I was taking pictures without zooming in, they were fine, but as soon as I started to zoom in, it all went downhill. My friends and I assumed that it was broken, which broke my heart. Luckily, Natalie is a photographer and she got several adorable pictures of Miss E!

Love those eyes!

Definitely a framer!

Another friends husband was at the pumpkin patch, too, and he generously volunteered (or his wife volunteered him) to take some pictures of Elizabeth. Nguyen also got some great pictures! Before we all headed to lunch, he looked at my camera and guess what... HE FIXED IT!!! I was sooo relieved! Apparently on the lens there is a switch that goes from manual focus to auto focus and somehow it got moved to manual. Who feels silly now... At least I know what to do if that happens again!

What is this ginormous
orange thing?

She loved standing up!

Again... a BIG thanks to Natalie and and Nguyen for getting some amazing pictures of Elizabeth!
