So now, I can say with confidence that one of my very favorite family traditions each year is taking our children to visit the pumpkin patch. I was so excited for the babies to experience their very first visit this year! I adore these photos and am still in awe that God has blessed me with these children.
Our tradition is to visit Carmichael Pumpkin Patch in early October each year. We like to go on a weeknight as it is not too busy, so this year we went on Tuesday, October 6th. The big kids know that we take photos first, then we get to have fun and explore!
My first little baby love, Brianna
While I can't believe she's already five years old, I am loving this age with her. Her personality just sparkles, and I adore that about her!
My baby Brooke Ellie
This baby girl's smile just lights up a room. She was excited to see what the pumpkin patch was all about!
My little man, Brenson
He charms me daily with his sweet spirit and compassionate heart. He is such a loving, caring, serious old soul.
And, my littlest love, Brecklyn
I relate so well to her reserved, slow-to-warm nature, and when she smiles she warms my heart.
My big kids had a blast at the pumpkin patch. It has become one of their favorite yearly traditions, as well.
The big kids always love running through the hay bale maze.
And, of course, we enjoy seeing the animals.
Brenson wasn't too sure about these guys . . . he didn't want to get too close!
Brianna, on the other hand, had no reservations.
Brooke Ellie mimics her big sister in so many ways. This was just another way that we discovered Brooke is like Brianna . . . she loved the animals!
This photo . . . priceless!
I love my Brooke baby!
Brecklyn was more reserved around the animals than Brooke was.
However, she wasn't scared, so we were glad of that.
Brianna was even brave enough to pet them.
And Brecklyn, too! I adore the look on her face.
Momma and Brianna . . . being photobombed by a goat! Haha!
I really wanted a photo of all four kiddos, but thought it might be a bit of an impossible task. Surprisingly, we were able to get one!
The big kids wanted to pull the babies in the wagon, so we let them try it.
With a little teamwork and a lot of effort, they were able to do it.
Haha . . . it was hard work, apparently!
Love my little Breckle baby
And my handsome Brenson man!
After visiting the animals and running around the grounds, it was time to choose a few pumpkins to take home. We let each of the children choose one small one for their room.

We have a winner!

She didn't want to let it go!
And finally, I asked a random stranger if they would mind taking a family photo for us even though I wasn't too hopeful that we'd get a decent one. After all, family photos are no easy task these days, but I was pleasantly surprised when I looked at my camera. I really love it!!!
A simple evening at the pumpkin patch with my family = a dream come true for me.
