Last year was crazy and with lots of bad weather we somehow missed out on the pumpkin patch for the first time ever. And we were all pretty sad about it. I was determined to not let that happen again this year so we found a day that would work and lucked out that the weather cooperated too. I know they're all getting older and this isn't quite as exciting for Tanner as it used to be, but since we keep going to the same pumpkin patch each year they have fun reminiscing about past years and experiences we've had there and they usually add a new thing each year which is something to look forward to. I really am grateful that for the most part Tanner is a good sport about things as he gets older. Landon had to hobble around on his crutches of course and was feeling pretty bummed about it but he did good and was still able to do most things. He even managed to go in the big tubes and make it all the way around without injuring himself further. And to end the afternoon on a perfect note Braddock found the wooly bear caterpillar he had been hoping for. I sure love making memories with these guys. And next year we'll have enough kid faces in the family to fill the Hozak Farms sign without Dean or I in it! Crazy!


Braddock's just casually cooking up his little brother for dinner.
Tanner's not always the sweetest big brother, but I sure love how Bridger softens him. He secretly loves Bridger's attention. ;) And Braddock was bound and determined to make it all the way around in these tubes without falling. He pulled it off at least once, and then Dean got in and had him hold on to him as they both went around just to solidify that he got to do it.
When I was pregnant with Bridger and just about to pop we took a photo like this at this very pumpkin patch. We couldn't resist re-creating it this year too!
Tanner always has us laughing.
