This weekend, I tried to get some photos of Adele in her “Trick-or-Treat” shirt I got for $3 on clearance last year! I bought it right after October and I remember looking at it thinking “18 months… it looks HUGE, that’s never going to fit her next year!” And here we are one year later… and it fits.

I tried to take some with the same props as my Pumpkin Photoshoot last year

But most of my photos ended up looking like this… ah, what a difference a year can make.

After getting a little frustrated, we headed up to the roof instead. Here are a few lot of pictures starring Adele and her Pumpkin. Guest starring: a half-eaten string cheese.

High Five for getting a bow in her hair! The trick is to distract her so she doesn’t know it’s there. Who says there aren’t tricks on Halloween.

I dropped her string cheese in the pumpkin to get these cute shots. HAHA IMG_1603

She’s all like, forget this. If you’re going to hide my string cheese, I’m outta here.IMG_1553

2013 Fall Festival of Love October 23, 2013

It’s that time again! The Fall Festival of Love! Irving and I started this fun little fall tradition back in 2005!

A look back:
2005-2010 | 2011 | 2012

This year we carpooled with some friends and met up with a few more people there! Adele’s friend Claudia sat next to her in the car… and even brought toy remotes for them to play with. She thought that was awesome.

We checked out the animals for a while. The goats were a hit. We didn’t go into the petting zoo section, but that’s something I’d like to do with Adele soon!
IMG_1209

Then we found the hay bale pyramid. I didn’t think they’d be too into it, but they wanted to climb to the top, so we indulged them.

IMG_1224

Um… where did my baby go?
IMG_1232

Up and down, up and down…
IMG_1233

Even though it was a million degrees out, we headed to the pumpkin patch for some more photos.

That tongue!

Little miss independent over there!
IMG_1260
Hee hee, that tongue again!
IMG_1262

Can’t believe last year, she couldn’t even sit up without propping her up with pumpkins!
IMG_7015

And this year, she’s walking around!
IMG_1238

Miraculously, we got one great family photo! Not easy these days with a curious squirmy toddler!

Some more photos from the day!

Oh hey, new haircut!

And my absolute favorite photo from the day! Love this girl.

We came home with two cute sugar pumpkins and one mini baby pumpkin (half the size of the one she’s holding above). She’s been carrying the baby pumpkin around with her everywhere lately. It came with us in the car on the way to daycare this week. She’s a fan of fall too! Just like her mama!

Yep, more Fall Festival of Love posts. What can I say, I look forward to this day all year long.

 

 

Pumpkins are cool… but throw in some hay, and it’s the most fun ever!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Three cheers for Pumpkins!


This face kills me. Why is she so funny?

Whoo hoo! More Hay!

Next year, we’ll be chasing her all over that pumpkin patch!

Fall Festival of Love: 2012. You did not disaappoint.

 

 

 

 

 

Help! Lost in the Corn Maze! October 18, 2012

The Corn Maze at Underwood Farms is CRAZZZZY! It’s so hard! Luckily the all-you-can-eat Watermelon slush gave me the will-power to actually make it all the way through this year.

Adele was mesmerized by the corn stalks. I think she quite enjoyed it!

The end of the maze is a giant Hay Pyramid. Guess who climbed to the top?

 

This little kid Rules. He has a corn stalk torch! He’s awesome.

Then I climbed to the top too. Cause I’m adventurous like that.

Erica climbed up with me. haha I love things that remind me of being a kid again.

 

More Fall Cuteness coming tomorrow!

 

The Fall Festival of Love October 3, 2010

Irving and I started a tradition a few years back that we appropriately deemed The Fall Festival of Love. 🙂 It’s a day to forget we live in Los Angeles, go out, find some pumpkins and enjoy some fall themed festivities.

A quick history:

2005 – Faulkner Farms
IMG_2796  IMG_2791

IMG_2821

2006 – Riley’s Farm
It rained that year and we didn’t feel like trucking through the mud to get a pumpkin. We tried!

2007 – Underwood Farm
IMG_4738 

IMG_4727

….we skipped a few years after that…

2010 – Underwood Farm (Again!)

This time, we went with our friends Erika and Timmy = built in photographers. 🙂

IMG_0091

It’s a huge farm up in Simi Valley (with lots of pumpkins).

IMG_0095

It was “Public Safety Weekend” there, so they had tons of firetrucks and cop cars and fun stuff for the husbands kids.
IMG_0094 
 
One of the highlights was the giant ‘pumpkin drop’! They had two firemen climb a HUGE ladder and then they dropped pumpkins filled with candy to the ground! (Kind of like a Fall Themed Pinata?)
 IMG_0171 

There they go!
 IMG_6292

1…2….3…
IMG_6293 

GO!
IMG_6294

And then all the kids ran over to get their candy!
IMG_6295

IMG_6296 

Including that big kid in Orange!
IMG_6297

They have a big farm too, for all the adults kids to enjoy.

Next up was the Corn Maze!
IMG_0110

IMG_0123

Seems easy, but it was quite confusing!
IMG_0111

IMG_0113

IMG_0114 

How do we get out?
IMG_0116

IMG_0119

But finally (with the help of some little kids), we made it to the end!
IMG_0122

Nice job, babe!
IMG_0128

IMG_0129

And then… it was pumpkin time!

And some pics in the patch!

Farmer Irving wanted to drive the tractor!
IMG_0158

Random Fact: Irving knows how to juggle!

Somewhere in between all the fun, we had lunch. There were so many great options to choose from. I started with the spiraled yams!
IMG_6283

YUM!
IMG_6284 

I also got a fresh roasted corn on the cob!
IMG_6287

Irving got a French Dip with Chili Cheese fries! (I think he’s fist bumping the camera!)
IMG_6285 

Unpictured was the fresh tomato (right off the vine) that I ate as a snack later. There is nothing like a fresh garden tomato, let me tell you.

And that, my friends, was the 5th Annual Fall Festival of Love!
