It was really fun going through the pictures this week for the post. We had another weekend at the Ranch and I actually impressed myself by having my camera handy almost the whole time. We had planned to head up to the ranch the weekend after Bryan was born because Buddy was needed to work on the cows and it was a good opportunity to introduce Bryan to a place that will probably become his favorite place to visit. We headed up there early to go to the pumpkin patch and pick a few pumpkins with Gramma and Grampa. It was a tish windy and chilly but Avery didn't care at all! We were able to pick some good pumpkins and head home to start our weekend. The next day was working cows day. While everyone worked on preg checking the cows, Avery watched on, jealous that she couldn't be in the corral with everyone. Unfortunately, she was stuck on the outside with boring ol' mom or Aunty Julie. It makes me anxious how fearless she is.... ready to jump in and help with the big cooooows! I love it.
After the excitement, I figured it would be the perfect time to get some new family of four pictures. So we packed up and headed out to a new little location and set my mom up to take some pictures. Naturally, Avery had a different idea of how the shoot would go. Her molars were pissing her off and she only wanted to play with the cow bones we found so taking a picture was clearly the worst idea in the world. Luckily, my mom was a quick clicker and we are able to get a couple of good ones... along with some good screaming ones :) Such a great weekend, even if we had two crabby patties (Buddy was unimpressed we were taking pictures during the beginning of the LSU game.) Pretty happy with my tiny family of four!!

| Carrying the pumpkin she found with Grampa! She's clearly on a mission. |
 |
| Best buds at the pumpkin patch. |
 |
| So proud of her pumpkin! |
 |
| We forgot our Ergo baby carrier so my Mom and Dad brought theirs from 30 years ago. Buddy rocked it just as well as the modern one. I find this picture quite sexy :) |
 |
| Four of my favorite people in the whole world! |
 |
| Gotta have a black and white one! |
 |
| Grampa and Avery in their own world.. .cheesing it up!! |
 |
| My mom is killing it as a photog lately! |
 |
| My little family :) |
 |
| I sure wouldn't want her leading my cattle drive. Talk about a slave driver :) |
 |
| Had to get on this wagon because of the "neigh". |
 |
| Sometimes, I'm not sure how she knows how to do some of these things. Not sure where she learned how to make a horse go on a covered wagon, but she sure looks like she's done it before. |
 |
| Watching and dreaming she could be in there helping out with working the cows. |
 |
| Smiles!!! A rarity during this shoot! |
 |
| I love her smiles!! ! |
 |
| This little girl love her tiny brother soooo much!!! I also love this picture! |
 |
| This is how the rest of the shoot went. Note Buddy's face. He is thrilled |
 |
| Gotta have a Daddy picture/ |
 |
| I just love this kid's hair!!! |
 |
| So tiny in his arms. Loving his new little son. |
 |
| Meanwhile, Gramma and AJ are checking out the cow bones. What a weird little girl. |
 |
| Again, love this kid's hair!! So happy Buddy was able to take a couple pics of me and the tiny boy. I think he's pretty damn cute. |
