This Fall is shaping up to be a great one. It is my favorite time of year, with cool weather, falling leaves, mums and pumpkins. I love all of the fun festivities that come with it. What's not to love about beautiful changing leaves, Fall festivals, trips to the pumpkin patch and Halloween? And the best part? Then comes Thanksgiving (yum-yum!)....and then CHRISTMAS! :) Anyway, needless to say, I have been very happy with all the goings-on this time of year brings.
We had a blast at the pumpkin patch this year. It seems that each year, it gets more and more fun, probably because Ella is getting older and is able to enjoy it more each time. It was a chilly, perfect Fall day!
To this year!! What happened to my baby? :(
A little blurry, but the whole family at the pumpkin patch :)
Tom and Ella in the corn maze.
Me and my best girl.
Look at that happy girl.....gosh I could just eat her right up!
On the hayride, headed to pick out the perfect pumpkins.
2 down, 1 to go! Still trying to find the perfect one for Ella. She did a good job keeping an eye on the pumpkins in the wagon :)
A little out of order....this was before we picked out the pumpkins. Sweet smile.
They have this cow/wagon thing that Ella likes to ride. Her face started to become a little unsure....somewhere between "This is fun!" and "Um, get me out of here!"
Ella loved this part....the cornbox. She dug around in there forever.
Trying to decide if we should jump off the hay into the soft landing......hmmm....maybe not. I'll just stand here and look cute instead.

Ella getting a pumpkin painted on her face. She thought she was SUCH hot stuff with a "tattoo" on her cheek, as she called it. Oh Lord.
Ella in the jumpy-house thing. They also had the BIG slides, which she went down as well.
Every year, we have Ella stand in front of this height scale.....check out the difference from last year...

A few weekends ago, we were also able to enjoy our church's annual Oktoberfest....which is our biggest fundraiser for the church each year. We had a great time. They have tons of stuff there for kids, a big home cooked meal and lots of fun :)

Another great part of Fall.....decorating the house! I always like to make the outside of the house look harvesty (is that a word?) and festive :) We've got lots of mums, our pumpkins, our hay bails and our scarecrows. LOVE Fall!
A close-up of our little scarecrow men. Cute, aren't they?
The front porch (our cat, Bella would NOT get out of the picture...).
Our pumpkins! Starting at the top step, Tom's, mine and Ella's! Such a cute little pumpkin family, don't you think? ;)

Alright folks, as requested.....a belly pic. Here I am at 26 weeks. Things are moving right along!
Well, now we are just counting down to Halloween! Ella is going to be Princess Jasmine. She's totally pumped, and her outfit is adorable. We'll definitley have some more pics up then, if not before. Happy Fall everyone!!
