Pumpkin Patch

We've been going to the Pumpkin Patch right by our house every year since Lucas was born. So this was our 5th year! I love traditions like that and once again I was sad to realize that our yearly visit was going to mark another last: our last Nashville pumpkin patch visit (or maybe not… we can always come back).



I love the fall and I love fall colors. The pumpkin patch is one of my favorite backgrounds for my mini amateur photo shoots.


We had to break out the pink cowboy boots for the occasion. 




And the scary faces!


And of course our best smiles!







And yes. We took this one home…(the kid and the pumpkin).


And for my nostalgic sake here are some pictures from our past pumpkin patch visits.

Fall at the Israels

We have had a busy (as you can tell by the lack of blogging) and fun fall.

We spent a lot of time outside. Our little man loves helping his daddy and our little girl could spend all day with her chalk.






The kids loved it when the leaves started falling. So much fun! Even though the temperatures fell along with them. From shorts to jackets and hats.







Lucas moved up to U6 soccer this fall. Bigger goals and we started working on drills and not all running after the same goal. Haley is his biggest fan.





As Haley gets older, the kids are really starting to be friends and spend more time playing together. I love it. Lucas loves to call Haley his "angel" and Haley lights up every time she sees her big brother. It is so sweet. Not that we don't have the pushing and fussing but they definitely love each other.






The kids have also had a lot of fun with their friends.








And fun with family.



…including silliness with Mommy… yes that's underwear on his head. I don't ask.



Lucas also spent a weekend with his Oma and Opa checking out one of his favorite things: trains!





And just a couple of weeks ago we cheered on our Dores as they beat Kentucky!





We can't believe this will be our last fall in the Music City so we're definitely trying to enjoy every minute of it.
