Pumpkin Festival

since living here in the East we have found that FALL is a wonderful time to be a New Yorker!
with all the beautiful trees and leaves, pumpkins and farms
it sure is a sight to see (^0^)
sleepy hollow eat your heart out.

the weather is nice. . . a happy medium :)
not too cold (which BY HEAVENS that will come too soon!)
and not too hot (because the humidity KILLS in the summer. . . talk about schveting!)

every year we make it to the "Pumpkin Festival". . . basically a carnival with TONS of pumpkins!
which equals lots of fun for our little fam.

this is a page from October 2008. . .

kits used: Kitschy Digitals, Cosmo Cricket

Indy was barely two and Kendy was just four months. . . a wee little babe.
where *oh* where have those TWO years gone!?!
it seems to me it was a blink of an eye.


pics from this year:






pretty soon number three will be with us in the pics next year!

Sacred Grove

we had a chance to visit the Sacred Grove and the Smith Family Farm a couple weekends ago. . .
talk about a GORGEOUS autumn day!
it was warm and bright and full of sunshine.
the leaves were changing and the air was full of crisp.
i just love this time of year!

Smith Family Farm

Smith Farm House Kitchen (number one). . .
basically a log cabin. . . can you imagine cooking over that fireplace!?!
(also the home where Moroni visited Joseph Smith) (^0^)


Joseph Smith's bed?
who knows.
they are not positive where Joseph slept when he experienced his visions. . .
but, the tour guide pointed out that it is the "air space" that Moroni actually appeared in to Joseph at night. . .
pretty neat-o!


Smith Family Farm House (number two)
a very nice upgraded home the Smith Family lived in for a while. . .
just down the street from their original log cabin home.


the second home they lived in was MUCH nicer and had a LOT more upgrades.
including a bigger and improved kitchen and dining area. . .
complete with pantry! how modern.

School Days

"School Days" photo shoot with little miss Indiana herself.
i just love this girl to pieces!
she always brings her personality into the photos i take of her. . . always.
i didn't ask her to pose like this!
she just does it by her own accord (^0^)
did i mention i LOVE this girl!
she really is a sweetie pie.
and a ham for the camera :)

come on!
tell me you can resist this face!?!
states the proud mama. . .
i said proud. . .
not humble. ha!

on a side-note. . .
the BW photo above reminds me of a sixties wild child. . .
quite appropriate for this wild child of mine (>0<)
love it.
ok, ok.
enough mama bragging for one night!
but, she is cute, right? ;)
