Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins...

We picked 'em, we celebrated 'em, and then we carved 'em up.

What more can I say?

Ian LOVES riding the tractors at the pumpkin patch!!

My nephews Parker and Brady and my Papa

Ian's buddy, Addi

Our littlest pumpkin=)

Brady, Mom, Dad and Zack picking out their pumpkins

Ian was a great pumpkin picker!

"Hey!  He's touching me!!"

"Uhhh...still touching me!"

"I don't know about this?!?!" =)

Steph was REALLY sad she was already married because she really wanted to go home with THIS guy!!

Love this picture of the cute Creager's

One last departing ride on the tractor

Just before going to the pumpkin patch, we visited a "Pumpkin Festival" being held at a park near our house. Ian had a great time there with his cousin Brady!

Riding the train,

climbing up the inflatable slides,

and just running wild!

I love this picture of Mason and my parents.  Look at that little face!!

A few days after we picked the cream of the crop, we attended a "carving party" held at the home of Mike's cousin Jamie and her husband John.  They layed out plastic sheeting on the living room floor and we went to town carving up our jack-o-lantern masterpieces!

Mike's niece Kaitlyn, and his sister Angie

The end result...

And one last special detail to add before I wrap up our pumpkin tales...

Every fall, since 2007 (the first year we lived here), Mike and I have gone to the same pumpkin patch near our home to pick out our Halloween pumpkins.  

The first year, it was just the two of us.

In 2008, we had Hayden.

In 2009, our precious Ian.

2010 was a special year because Ian was finally OURS!!!

This year, we had little Mason.

Three years, 

three different baby boys, 

one tiny shirt.  

I wonder if we'll have somebody new with us to wear it in 2012?
