Pumpkin Patch!

Today was Rylee's first trip to the pumpkin patch and we decided to head to Buckley with Bill's mom and dad, and sister Shelby. I was not expecting so many people to be getting pumpkins the same day as us, but this pumpkin patch has everything; corn maze, food, jump house, pony rides, petting farm, pig races, and even a live band. It was really nice to have grandma, grandpa, and aunt Shelby there to see everything.
We put the stroller in 4-wheel drive and headed out to find a couple good pumpkins for our house. Grandma and Grandpa got her a pumpkin from them so we are going to think of something special to carve in that one. We had limited room so we just put Rylee on the pumpkin in the stroller!Last year we were not able to get to a pumpkin patch, I started thinking where we were this time last year and it really made me thankful for how things have turned out. A bit over a year ago I was recovering from the Pulmonary Edema, toxemia, and enlarged heart from my delivery, and would have just had my gall bladder removed after it just about ruptured. This time last year I couldn't have even thought about going to a pumpkin patch. I tell you, I will have to remind Rylee a couple times when she is older what I went through to have her, it wont be the typical " I was in labor for over 30 hours.."story. So when I look at these pictures I cant help smile at my little girl and be thankful.
