The son of a preacher man!

Its no mystery that a child of a pastor would feel right at home at our church! Seth is mesmorized by the sanctuary everytime we go and is always wanting to stay and listen to the music, or go up on stage and look at the instruments. The first picture is of Seth standing in the aisle listening to Mr. Price practicing the piano for Sunday morning. The second picture is Seth climbing the steps trying to get to the instruments. This little boy loves music!

Rocky Mountain High...Colorado!

Last weekend we went on a very short trip to Colorado Springs so that Spencer could perform a wedding for some dear college students of ours that we have know since their freshman year (they both graduated in May). Andy and Kristin have been dating for over 5 years and were high school/college sweethearts. I also had the honor of taking their engagement pictures too. When our plane landed in Denver, the pilot said, "Welcome to Denver, the first snow of the season!" Andy's dad picked us up from the airport and the closer we got to Colo. Spgs. the more it snowed...it was incredibly beautiful on all the trees! The wedding was perfect and had a very Colo. cabin feel to it! Here are just a few pictures from our trip. I didn't take my big camera, so I had to use Spencers iphone.We arrived at the grooms house just in time for homemade pancakes! Look at that snow!

Pumpkin Farm

Last year we took Seth to a local plant nursery in FTW to take a few pumpkin pictures, but this year we went to the pumpkin farm in Grapevine (a city about 30min from our house) that I wanted to go to last year! Seth LOVED it and loved just running around and being free! Unfortunately he wouldn't sit down in any of the pumpkins, so the other backyard pictures will have to sufice. His favorite part of the trip...the big tactors! He loved climbing on them and sitting up high! There were also some little tractor toys for him to ride on. A good time can come to a halt pretty fast when a toddler trips and falls flat on his face onto dirt and some rocks. Yep, poor thing tripped and got a bloody nose and scratches on his face. It took a little bit to calm him down, but after that he was ready to run again! All in all the trip was worth it since admission was FREE! Seth and Daddy at Hall's Pumpkin Farm
Seth on the big tractor


He loves anything with a steering wheel!

His legs were a little too short to reach the pedals

so we ended up pushing him...he loved it

this is what he did most of the time...run!

I love this picture of him

loved getting in the wagon and riding

this was right before the big tripping accident

he wouldn't look at me, but if you look close you can see the scratches on his face and forehead, poor guy

it didn't take him long to get around to playing again...looking and staying far from the animals

one last run through the pumpkins before we head home

and this is what we saw on the drive home on Hwy 121...beautiful!!!

Fall Fun!

Early one morning about 7:30, I thought it would be a good time for a fall mini-photo shoot. Its still pretty chilly in the morning here so I didn't think Seth would mind wearing a sweater! The neighbor's dog was barking the whole time while we were taking pics so the whole thing lasted about 10 min. since Seth was a little scared. But here are the best ones. Enjoy!!

Let Them Eat Cake!

Today Seth went to his good friend Emma's 2nd birthday party. (Emma is the blonde in the middle in the first picture). Seth and Emma met when they were both about 9mos. old, now its hard to believe they will be 2 (they are about 4 weeks apart in age). Seth loves to play with her as well as Hope, but he is missing his good buddy Ethan who moved last month to Lousiana, but we are hoping to see him in Nov. for Seth's birthday party. These 3 little friends loved eating the strawberry and chocolate cake!!

I think he had about 2 pieces of cake!

Seth was excited to take home 4 balloons from the party!!
