In the midst of my stress, I take comfort in spending time with my family. This Fall we have been blessed to be able to visit two nearby pumpkin patches at virtually no cost to us. Visiting any pumpkin patch is literally the highlight of my year (I must be easy to please). I love the fall colors, the smell of glazed nuts and bonfires, and the general warm and cozy feeling one gets while taking a hay rack ride. It doesn't get much better than taking a hay rack ride to a field of pumpkins to pick the perfect one for carving.
In this picture Steven is holding our perfect pumpkin & the girls are saying "hay" in the goofy way in which I have taught them to say it.
An old corn stalk makes a perfect walking stick
Here are some more pictures from our day at a Pumpkin Patch (this time we went to Roca Berry Farms).
This is a 40 ft. slide
Here are the girls after going down that huge slide
We took a picture of Madeleine in front of this horse booty because we were feeling reminiscent.
5 years ago we took her picture in front of the same horse booty. :)
What you can't see in these pictures is a sign stating that if the tail is blowing ____ (insert direction) the weather will be _____(windy, rainy, etc). So, the horse booty does have a purpose other than a lovely back drop for a picture.

Here is Baby Madeleine in front of the same flowers as above 5 years ago.
I have no before and after pictures of Audrey because this was her first time visiting this particular pumpkin patch. 
Look how tall my girls are
Look how tall I am not

Katie- I LOVED these pics! Hope you had a great & memorable time! I'm here with ya. We have to take pleasure & also thankfulness for the great things God has for us & provides us. We can be discouraged but not defeated because God is greater then our present situations & stresses. He knows our every need & is never changing! He's the same yesterday, today, & forever!!! I hope this brings you encouragement today & you keep enjoying the simple pleasures God gives everyday & take refuge in Him for He cares for you!!!! Love you lot's & can't wait to finally have coffee with you! :) Amy J. :)
