stupid, stinking camera...

Okay, so we go to Nashville last week to go to my friend Julie's pumpkin patch, as we have done every year to take cute fall pictures of Addie Grace. I was sooo excited this year about getting to take them with Sawyer too. Well, having them all dressed for the pictures, I grabbed their costumes to get some shots of them dressed up too, prepared for a perfect day of picture taking!! The weather was beautiful, I had 5 great helpers (mom, dad, Mason, Macy and Brian), so I knew we could do it, get it over with and have some fun.
Well....we get there, Addie Grace is already itching to go and do all the fun stuff, but I start taking pictures, promising that I'll be really, really quick (right!!). I take about five and my camera messes up (I think Addie Grace put a hex on it)!!! I fight with it for about 15 minutes, but after Addie Grace whining (understandably) about wanting to go and play, I finally give up. I couldn't get Julie's camera, as she is dealing with an accident with one of the guests, so I just let her go and play. After playing for about an hour, she gets filthy, dirty and is having a ball! Well, another friend comes to the rescue with her camera but by this time though, getting Addie Grace to cooperate with sitting back down and starting the whole photo drama over again was almost impossible. Sawyer was worn out at this point too, so although I got alot of pictures of everyone having fun, I didn't get really cute pumpkin patch pictures. Here is the best one that I got with my camera right before it messed up...

Well, as mad as I was, I at least thought I would get a new camera out of the deal, so I was excited about that. Well, my precious husband fixed the camera a few days later (grrrrr!!)...so no cute pumpkin patch pictures AND no new camera for me!! Stupid, stinking husband!! (I'm only kidding!!)
Here are some of the other random shots from the day!

Addie Grace "milking the cow"














too bad she wasn't smiling OR looking at the camera...would've been one of my favorites!!












playing in the dried corn kernals...I think her favorite part of the whole day!

see how happy my children were when I tried to take a few more posed shots before leaving?!?!

I actually love the picture of Sawyer crying and Addie Grace looking mad. It's pretty classic if you ask me!
