Pumpkin Patch

I have been wanting to take Olivia to the pumpkin patch ever since they opened. Life got busy and by the time we were going to go, the weather in Cedar was just plain crappy. Luckily we had the opportunity to take her to one in Farmington and she loved it! She was kind of a turkey that whole trip and definitely being a toddler, but when I look at these pictures I know she had so much fun! Sometimes it's so easy to get wrapped up in the moment. Livy was being so difficult and I kept thinking "why am I doing this? I'm trying to do something fun for her and she isn't even having fun or appreciating it." I know that won't be the last time I think that either. I need to focus on realizing how old she really is and relishing in all the joys and hardships of the toddler stage. Truth be known, having a toddler really is the greatest. I love my little pumpkin. 

[Here you can see how frustrated Liv and I both were while Daddy is carefree] 

I am blessed beyond measure to have this little soul in my life. She helps me to be a better person and loves me even on my worst days. Bless our children's sweet spirits to forgive us when we aren't as patient as we should be. 

Also: Cheers to my mom for capturing these pictures! It's nice having your own photographer following you around!
