Leaf-y Fun!

This was a few weeks ago, but I was hoping to get a good picture of all three kiddos together before I posted them. Well, Luke decided that the leaves were terrifying and wouldn't cooperate for my picture. Oh well, Ben and Abby had fun playing in the leaves!

Ben thought it would be great fun for him and Luke to jump into the leaves together. Mind you, this was as soon as they came out and Luke had no idea what was going on. It looked like fun until...

Ben threw him into the pile! This was the last time Luke had anything to do with the leaves! He didn't even like it when anyone else was in the leaves! I guess we will try again next year...

This was Ben's favorite way to "jump" in the leaves. He preferred to slide into them.

Can you find Ben?

Couldn't resist!

The safer option, the swing. That way he didn't even have to touch the leaves!

My babygirl!

My Buddy!

Abby's turn at sliding into the leaves.

Luke saw that we were raking and wanted to help...from a distance...

Ahhh...

So sweet! Abby LOVES her baby brother SO much!!

Me and my babygirl!

Me, Ben and Abby took some pictures like this last year and thought we would try again this year. However, Jon was home, so we thought we would have him do it for us. It just didn't turn out the same. It is cute, nonetheless!

The saddest part of the whole leaf thing, now we need to get out there and get them all raked and bagged...YUCK!

Fall Beauty

Who doesn't love fall? I have recently decided that while it is no longer my favorite season, I DO still love it! With the awesome temperatures and GORGEOUS colors, what's not to love? (Aside from the fact that the leaves are falling off the trees means that winter's just around the corner.....) For a very long time I have wanted to have a red maple tree in my yard. When we moved to Oklahoma I got just that! I have marveled at the changing colors of my maple tree every day for the past few weeks. It is so amazing how they change a little bit every day! I love how, at a certain point in time in the fall, the trees actually look like they are glowing! My tree looks like that right now! On Saturday I went out to look at the tree, but this time I got right up close to it and admired the colors. It was amazing how one leaf could have four different colors! All on one leaf!
You will have to click on this picture and view the larger image to see just how amazing these leaves are! You can see every little vein running through it!
Couldn't resist a sweet fall picture with my man!

I am so thankful to God for His gorgeous display at this time of year!
