Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday Alyssa and the boys along with Ellie and I went to the pumpkin patch. It was muddy from all the rain but everyone got to play some and have fall pictures taken. I was glad we got to go and take pictures of Ellie among the pumpkins!!

Peeking out the wooden train window


Happy Girl


Ellie standing next to one of several scarecrows



Not so sure about this pumpkin headed person sitting next to me

Which one shall I pick??

Mom I think I like this one



putting leaves and stems from the pumpkins in her mouth was a highlight of the trip

These pumpkins sure are heavy


Just measuring up

Mommy look how big I am getting

Going for a drive

She could hardly sit on the seat and reach the steering wheel but it sure didn't stop her



Not sure who is giving who a lesson on driving


There are pumpkin things everywhere

Again driving....this time the truck

Peek I see you!!!

All three kiddos


Just hanging out while mom takes my picture

Aunt Alyssa, Tate and Cade (Tate decided while walking through the little store that he would like an apple...he started to take a bit out of one...so Alyssa bought it and from there Tate pretty much ate the entire thing...at one point asking Alyssa to take the seeds out)

A happy mommy with her happy little peanut


We set Ellie and Cade down by the turkey and told Tate to go sit there too...this is how he posed himself

3 little munchkins...(Tate still eating his apple)

Happy 2nd Birthday

Happy 2nd Birthday Mr. Cade! We had fun celebrating with you today!!

As I said we will work our way backwards....these are Ellie's 9 month pictures! She is growing like a weed. She crawls everywhere at a rapid speed and is pulling up on anything she can get her hands on. We are slowly getting settled into our new house...pictures to come!

Happy Birthday

we are back...on the Internet that is...or at least at the moment. We have had and continue to have phone/Internet issues...so in the meantime let me say...

HAPPY HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY HENRY DAVID GOTTSCHALK

hard to believe it has been a whole year!!!

I will post pictures tomorrow of little Ellie...we will start with the current and work backwards...otherwise she may be 12 before we get caught up!
