Autumn

Autumn is here! Such a beautiful time of year. I am looking forward to slowing down a bit this season. Soccer is almost over and that will clear up half of our Saturday schedule. 

We have been spending a lot of time with our friends at explora and galloping grace pumpkin patch. Nolen asks to play with his friend, Olivia, every single day. 

We carved painted pumpkins with Dad. 

Edward has started bringing me leaves again. I love him. 

And, of course, we dressed up for our ward trunk or treat! Edward is a ninjago, Nolen is Steve from mine craft, and I dressed up as black widow from the avengers. 

Life isn't slowing down a bit and nor would I want it to. I love these moments with my family. 

McCalls Pumpkin Patch!

It's our annual tradition to head over to McCall's Pumpkin Patch in Moriarty.  It is so beautiful on the other side of the Sandia mountains.  I love all the fall colors and the New Mexico landscape.  We have such a great time with my Mom each year out at the pumpkin patch.  This year, we actually rode the hay ride out to get a pumpkin.  We have never done that before.  The line always looked to long and our kids would rather play on all the rides.  So many things were the same this year and so many things were different.  I am so grateful for my amazing boys, husband, and parents.  What a beautiful time of year.  

And to reminisce for a moment:
