Playin' in the Leaves

The leaves have been changing for a while around here, but this Bradford Pear was one of the last to go....It is an absolutely gorgeous tree! This particular tree was planted by my mom in memory of my dad in 1996....it has grown very quickly, but is a reminder everyday of my parents!

The kids love to make a pile and jump in them, remake the pile and so on and so on....They were having so much fun enjoying being outdoors and I love using my new camera to capture these moments! Days like today I love my job...ask me tomorrow and I might have changed my mind, but today it's all good.

Carley and Zach have a plan with the wagon to fill and dump where they want their pile to go. They have decided to branch out on their own to make a pile.

Cheyenne has this contagious laugh that she does when she's being silly....and this is the smile that goes with it....when she isn't being sassy, she sure can be cute!

Haila's learning to hang with the gang, and now she has found one leaf that she carried around forever....who needs to spend money on toys when I can just take them outside for free?

This was just a cute shot of Zach and Cheyenne. They were being buried by the rest of the kids in the leaves so that they could pop up and "surprise" the other kids.

Lane seemed to be the favorite one for the others to bury...probably because she could be still the longest and get completely covered up. She's being a good sport even though she ended up with leaves all in her pants!
