Pumpkin Carving

It's been a while since Michael and I have carved a pumpkin, so I thought this year would be a good year to try...maybe next year! Hehe! Well, Jonathan was interested to begin with, but lost interest when he got dirty. Oh Well. But I had fun carving it! And I got some good photo's out of it too! Can't ask for more! (Ben is napping)

The Pumpkin - Before Shot

Ewwwwww!

Focus

Jonathan: "You do it, Daddy. Thank you so much!"

That is as far as he went...then the boys went and played in the backyard and I went back inside, cleaned it out and carved it!

The Pumpkin - After Shot! 

My Little Pumpkins

I made perfectly clear over the summer that I strongly dislike the super HOT weather! So now that it is Fall, we are enjoying every second of it! I love it so much! I have been trying to go to a different pumpkin patch or Fall type event/place every week.
I just love my little boys, and as you can tell I love taking pictures of them! They are my favorite subjects! I have been practicing my new photography skills that I learned in my class a couple of months ago! I really like how some of these pumpkin patch photo's turned out! I hope you do to!


These photo's are from our trip to the Dallas Arboretum with Shannon and Hudson!!! Shannon is one of my best friends from back when I worked at Michael's. She had Hudson 3 weeks after Ben and became a stay at home mom too! She lives close so we get together frequently for fun stuff!!

This whole series of my 2 sweeties in this patch just crack me up. They are both so easy going and are just hanging out. I couldn't find one that was my favorite, so here are a few of my favorites!

Holding Hands. Melt my heart.

Deep Thoughts...

Wait, where you going?

Shannon and Hudson. Jonathan was so great, when Shannon was taking pictures of Hudson, he would get behind her and try to make Hudson laugh! He is such a sweetie and a really big helper!

Where's Jonathan?

Inside looking out.

Me and my boys!

Prince Charming.

What'd you say?

Ugh, I had my camera on the wrong setting and didn't realize it. But man this would have been a cute one if it wasn't so dark!

This pumpkin patch is the Hall-Johnson Patch in Colleyville, near our home! I have never been before and always wanted to go! It was so much fun! And best part? It was free! (not like the Arboretum, which cost almost $30!!!!...parking and admission for J and me!! Yikes) Michael, me and the boys went a couple weekends ago! We had a blast. We had a hard time getting J back in the car!!! :)

Jonathan wasn't too excited about pictures this day. So if he looks grumpy, it's cause he is! :) But, I love that he still stayed for a few photo's for me anyway! Such a trooper! I liked this place because they setup little photo-op places for you! Clever!

Seriously guys, work with me, look at the camera!!!!

This is the conversation we just had:
Jonathan: "CCCCHHHHEEESSSEEEE!",
Me: "J, please don't say Cheese, it makes you make a funny face."
Jonathan: "Why"
Me: "Because, saying Cheese makes you look kinda like a silly face."
Jonathan: "But, Why"
Me: "Just please, don't say it, just smile at me or just don't do anything..."
Jonathan: "Alright........CCCCHHHEEEESSEEEE!"
Me: "I give up"

Sweet Brother kissing his sweet brother.

Ben cracks us up, he will put ANYTHING in his mouth! I thought it was funny, he was really focusing on eating those nasty plants!

So I moved him away and gave him a pumpkin!

J loved playing on their playground!

Wow, I love this kid!

I love this one so much too! He was so excited about our pumpkin!! (I was too!)

One of my new favorites! I love how much they love each other!!!
