we are absolutely loving fall in missouri. i forgot how awesome it is. and mark says that for the first time in his life he understands why some people say fall is their favorite season :) in texas fall lasts for about two days in november and the trees don't really change colors.... reese is loving the fall because of one thing... BUGGINS (aka pumpkins) if i haven't said it already, this girl is obsessed!!!!!!!! She points them out everywhere! even before i even see them. we flip through magazines (mostly southern living) over and over pointing out the buggins - and sometimes counting them. sometimes she'll count to four or five by herself (but never saying one) and if we help her she can sometimes count to ten. hilarious how she doesn't say one though. even when we ask how old she is she'll put up one finger but say "do" ha We recently turned her carseat to face front {bc she is finally 20 lbs!!} and now she just stares out the window looking for pumpkins and gets so excited when she sees one :) ok so here are a few fall pictures and things we've been up to. i wish i was better at keeping this blog up to date so i didn't have these long random posts all the time. goal for november.
pumpkin patch at hyvee. she has to walk through all the pumpkins before we can go in the store every time.
beautiful day so we had our whole morning outside.
visiting daddy for dinner at the hospital when he was working nights.
our first mizzou football game (did i already post this?)
a little buggin for my punkin
so hard to capture the incredible trees in a picture... this looks like nothing. but I'm telling you it is amazing.
so random but we had this huge caterpillar outside our front door and R was obsessed with watching it all afternoon until it crawled up the bush and she spent a good 30 minutes looking for it and asking "where go?"
here's what i got when i said, "reese go stand by the pumpkin and smile" :)
another fun pumpkin patch
fall festival with our church - The Crossing
(first smores experience)
again trying to capture a picture of the leaves but this just can't do it.
awesome yellow tree in our front yard. and me saying "reeser go stand by the tree and your pumpkin and smile" she was sorta close, i guess.
happy fall y'all. we had our first freeze last night (well that i know of) and our heater has been on all day. I'm missing our fireplace big time! and in other news, i heard it snowed in amarillo yesterday. crazy!
