This weekend we made the trek to our favorite Fall tradition...Emma Krumbee's. They have a scarecrow contest, strawberry patch, general store and restaurant. We go every year and pick out all of our Fall decor. It's a great place to take pictures. But getting these cute pictures was not easy! We have a little problem when it comes to picture taking...
LITTLE CHICK!
Poor thing...no matter if the sun is shining, if we are indoors or out, she almost always squints her eyes and cries. It's really frustrating and I get mad. I'm sorry, but I just lose my patience. So most good pictures come only after I have threatened her and made her cry. Isn't that a warm fuzzy memory!?
My dad and I trying on warm fuzzy hats:)
Finally a smile. Amazing what threats will get ya:)
Honey Crisp apples. They are sooo good.
My find of the day...Peter Pumpkin Eater. Folk Art by Janell Berryman ... Isn't he cute in a weird strange kind of way?:)
The weather wasn't very cooperative. We've had lots of rainy and blue days. They were out of mums too, so mom and I found a little farmer's market a couple of days later and hit the jackpot...tons of gorgeous mums and specialty pumpkins, even some quirky kale. Did you know you can keep kale outside all winter and it won't change? I think it's beautiful. Love the crisp temps and gorgeous colors right now.
How do you decorate for Fall??
Have a blessed day.

Oh, honey crisp! Now you've made me hungry. I love that shared your story about your daughter and pictures. That's just real life. Congrats on your hubby's new job. Scary times for sure!
great pictures - I'd love a Fall experience like that.
The picture you got turned out great! She is such a cutie...even with her eyes closed. Living in the deep south, I really miss Fall so your photos were great. We celebrate with a lot of apples and pumpkins, as in apple crisp, pumpkin pie, bread, cake, caramel apples... hahaha! Happy Friday!
What great pictures Becky although you made me giggle ~ poor little chick! Your Peter Pumpkin is cute ~ quirky. All I have out right now is a mum and a pumpkin. Very boring this year but with Thanksgiving this week-end for us I hope to do a bit more.
I dio that too. I get really frustrated when I'm dying for a good family pic! Then I look all stressed out in the picture. You look really relaxed though. Love the bottom pic of the entry!
Great pictures! Love all the beautiful fall colors. I love your Peter Pumpkin too. I've never done a lot of fall decorating, just pumpkins really, but I MUST have my apple cinnamon candles! This year I would love to do more.
Love the fur hats. My husband actually has one of those he wears ice fishing. Honey crisp are the best apples ever!
What a fun place!! Having the same or similar chilly rainy weather! Hope you have a great weekend!

So sweet! What a lovely family tradition =)
I think you got some great family pics!!! Good ones are hard to come by over here too :) Have a great weekend Becky!
:) T
haha..crying little chick reminds me of our family trying to get pictures when I was little.I always seriously thought I was smiling.Everyone in our HUGE family would say "Morgan,just smile so we can get it over with"I had no idea what they were talking about.Someone should have taught me to show my teeth or something.All mu childhood picture I look MAD!!
Awww, even squinting and scrunch Little Chick is still too cute for words! I *love* the two pics at the beginning of the four of you! This just looks like it was the perfect fall family day!!! This is my most favorite time of year!!!
Y'all look great...squinty eyes and all! Glad you are having so much fun with your family. Oh, and if you look on my sidebar there is a link to this blog called Just Something I Made. Great stuff! She has free things for blogs and that's where I got my little email thingy. Go check it out!
Have a great weekend!
xo,
Adrienne
Dying laughing!!! So funny that you highlighted her in color!!! Fun photos.
Thanks for the sweet blog love today. Also, I DO have this exact same scenario for our family photos. In fact, this year, I doubt we are even doing them for a Christmas card because my husband is tired of it. Tired of uncooperative children, and an angry photographing wife.
So happy I'm not alone in the threats! lol
I feel like I could have grabbed one of those Honey Crisps out of the screen and eaten one! YUM. Oh, I love the fall weather!! Hats and layers galore!! You all look adorable
You have such an adorable family, smiles or not :) But boy, it can be kind of stressful trying to get everyone to smile huh?!
Love all your pictures. Those apples look yummy too.
Great pictures! What a fun place to go, even if the LC doesn't much care for the multitude of photo ops. ;) Those apples are my favorite, and I love, love, looove the unique beauty of kale. My mums came back from last year, so I'm enjoying the added bonus. ;)
Great pics! (and here I'm thinking as my kids get older it will be easier to get good pics!) I too love kale and cabbage! Sooo fall-y and pretty! And Honey Crisp.... Mmmmmm.... I have a cut one on my counter eating it right now! :) Hopefully I'll get some of my fall/farm pics on my blog soon. *sigh*
Love the family photos! Soooo cute. Thank you for sharing the fun, even if you do make us long for a nice, crisp, juicy apple. :)
Looks like a blast! How fun:)
Looks like you guys had fun! But little chick cracks me up!:p Me and my mom also got her mums at our Farmers Market! She was dying for mums! I geuss I never told you that her name is Becky too! I love Peter Pumpkin eater too! Well I've got to go.
Love, Madison
oh my gosh, this is absolutely adorable... I love all of those pictures!
Honeycrisp and Fuji apples are THE BOMB. I love them!
And as far as threats go...what mother DOESN"T make them?! :) I loved the honesty- it made me laugh because I could TOTALLY relate!
Thanks for sharing your family with us!
I was wondering if you meant to highlight her in the 1st photo or if that is they way it came out (blonde moment, sorry)...to funny! Great photos, you look very pretty Becky! I love your Peter Pumpkin eater, he is just perfect for Fall! Happy weekend!
GREAT pictures! love the hats :)
I used to be a squinter so I soooooo get where she is coming from! It makes me giggle a bit as I remember those threats! I love seeing pictures of your whole family. I love each of your smiles much.
Ok and Peter Pumpkin Eater is weird but I like him much for some reason!
Have a beautiful weekend!
Looks like so much fun! We're going to our local pumpkin patch next weekend...can't wait:)
Love the pics {your lil' chick reminds me of my teenage daughter...she does the same thing}.
Have a great weekend:)
What a wonderful tradition! You have a beautiful family!
Mwa!
Darlin' you know I luv ya, but that Peter Pumpkin eater is Scaaaaary!
<:oO
Honey Crisp! Pumpkins! Warm Fuzzies!
I love everything about fall, even the cold temps and rainy days. I don't decorate all too much just because I don't have a permanent home yet or kids to appreciate it, but I can't wait for my decorating days to begin!
Great way to start the season, and cute pictures :)
awh, what a lovely family you have! I wish we celebrated things like this in London, looks like so much funn! x
What a beautiful blog! I am in love with your header. It sounds like you have made some seriously wonderful memories with your family.
Happy Saturday Sharefest! Dropping by from SITS
Ha! I have a hard time taking pics of our little fam too. I usually bribe Layla with candy or new crayolas...ha! terrible I know!
I hope the weather here cooperates, we have been planning trips to the pumpkin patch that keep getting rained out!
Happy weekend!

Love all the fall photo's and your quirky pumpkin' man! I used to get so frustrated at picture time, we have 4 smilers an 2 non-smilers! Now I'm just sad because 1 non-smiler and 2 smiilers are grown and don't live here. I'd be happy to go back and have them all here smiles or not! One non-smiler is my hubby! LOL! Looks like you had a great week with your parents! thanks for sharing!
Love the white pumpkins with the mums. What great photos! You and your family look ready for the cold!
I have THREE non-smilers in the family. At least one is rabbit-earing another, one makes his "poopin' smile" as we call it, and one makes dumb faces just as I am clicking. GRRRR!
LOL, I can't imagine you threatening anyone!!!
P.S. You look amazing!! :D
Hey!! Love looking at your blog...what great fall pics. I actually posted about my fall decorating on my blog today!

Yuuuum. Honeycrisp and white pumpkins and just all of it...including the threats.
Perfect!
Becky ~ you have such a beautiful family!!! It looks like you had a great day .... even if Little Chick squints and cries ~ you are so funny!!! I was a big "threatner" too!!! :)
Your chicks are so beautiful.
Just like their mama.
And y'all are wearing hats and jackets. Wow!
We're still wearing shorts and flip flops.
In Alabama, summer just turns to winter.
Usually, around November.
So glad that your honey got a job.
God is good.
Happy Fall!
Sweet dreams.
I love all your photos! And was laughing out loud about threats to get good pictures--I've done the same! The pumpkins & gourds in the picture are fantastic--especially the biggest one. That kale is gorgeous too.

I think Peter is darling. And I love the finds from the farmer's market! Happy Fall!
Oh Little Chick reminds me of DD when she was younger!! I literally have no pictures of her for like 2 years because she would scream and cry!! Yes very frustrating (and I get mad too shh)!! Looks like you all had a great time! I love fall colors but I don't change my decor anymore because I'm just to busy!!
What BEAUTIFUL photographs. And I'm really loving the hats that you all rock so well! x
So most good pictures come only after I have threatened her and made her cry. so fuuny!
I happened upon your blog through another blog and it caught my eye when you said you went to Emma Krumbees. I *think* there is only one of those and if it's the same one, we're practically neighbors! Anywho... small world. :) Oh, and I love, love, love your blog header. Beeyouteeful picture!
What great pictures! You'd never know you have to use threats!
Love the hat pics. Glad I am not the only one who threatens their children and makes them cry for photos.
This is my first time visiting your blog. I loved looking at all of your photos theya are all wonderful! You have a very beautiful family. Your a Mom, your allowed to get mad. I understand and one day your daughter will understand too. :)

I used to cry in family pics when I was about 9 or 10. I was fine in most other pics but there are probably 2 years of Christmas pics with all of the cousins at Grandma's with me turned sideways bawling.
The funny thing about it is that I never knew, nor do I know now, why I did it.
Everyone gets a good laugh out of it now. :)
