Our October weekends are always full and the one thing we look forward to the very most is our annual family trip to the pumpkin patch. It makes for a magical day when the kids find fun around every corner. The DJ always has the best music playing, iced cider slushies + pumpkin spice donuts leave the kids smelling like sugar & spice, they get to pet long-haired cows + sweet llamas + cute little lambs, train rides & pony rides, corn maze + corn pits, and we'll always find the happiest people especially Mag's favorite person Grandma Oops! 

One of my treasured photos from the day is the one of Magnolia on the swing with her cousin Ollie and Isla. The girls' little hands are on Ollie's legs and all I can see when I look at the photo is a dream come true and answered prayers. Ollie was only days old when we found out I was pregnant & I often envisioned moments just like this past weekend and I am forever grateful. 

OCTOBER we LOVE you! We are only half way through this month of FUN and I feel like it's only just begun. This weekend we are doing our annual pumpkin patch trip with the family & Sunday we are going to a Coppelia Tea Party at Magnolia's dance studio. I have to share a bunch of photos from the past few weeks because I've been snapping away and keeping all these special memories close to heart. The biggest news of the month is that we are taking Magnolia to DISNEY WORLD!!! We've been talking about this trip for years and we are finally making it happen, I think Ryan and I are just as excited as Mags about this dream come true. Ryan & I celebrated our seven year wedding anniversary and Magnolia was our photographer before we left for our date. My sisters, mom, and I threw a little Hocus Pocus 2 watch party for the kiddos and Ryan let us crash his carriage house/man cave/movie theater room. We loved all the dancing and singing in the new one. There was a field trip to the Kansas City Zoo, Plaza Art Fair, our town's Oktoberfest, Ollie's baseball game, and lots of other little magical moments as we celebrate the everyday. Oh, and other BIG NEWS, Ryan and I had our IVF consult the first week of October and I'll share more about it in another post.
