the pumpkin patch

It's already pumpkin time! Where is the year going... we had a great time at the Patch, Grandpa Steve. Stella is all about dirt and digging so it was a fun time. Happy fall!

Luke was really cute and picked out a pumpkin just for Belle

ahhh... fall cleaning

I don't get the spring cleaning bug... mine is late and comes in fall. I love this time of year: crisp air, the colors changing, the great fall clothes, the warmth of the harvest decorations. I've had my house decorated for a couple of weeks now! I have also been getting rid of stuff that is cluttering up my house and my brain, so along with that I decided to also start new with a clean, crisp white blog. I think the pictures show better too. Hope you all like it. Here's Belle watching me as I clean, from her favorite perch in the drawer under the oven.

Grandpa Steve (Jason's Dad) grows pumpkins... and they are amazing!

It's tradition to pick them every year around this time,

and it always makes me excited for fall and Halloween.

Happy Fall from Grandpa's Pumpkin Patch!
