Lovin' the great fall weather!

We have had some just amazingly nice days this fall; and I know I've said this before but I LOVE this time of year!! Everything about it; the sights, the smells, the warm winter jackets and the wearing of comfy jeans and hoodies, playing football and going on long bike rides as a family. Going to pick pumpkins, decorating the house, making sugar cookies, playing outside with the kids, raking leaves, baking LOTS of goodies (that are NO good for my hips), all the anticipation for the holidays and how excited my kids get when they discover something new, and just being with my family. I am sure that old man "winter" is just around the corner, but we've sure enjoyed some great fall days.

Briggs is our up and coming photographer.
He snapped the shots with me and the kids in them. He did a pretty good job!!

Brooklyn no doubt is telling me something in her own, very real, language!

Ethan is really into football and here he is holding the ball for Briggs to come and kick it! I sure love my little boys!

Brooklyn discovering the pumpkin!

...and that it's not as light to pick up as she thought!

Cute little Ethan!

Briggs...such a good brother


Ethan pushing Brooklyn fast! She is ready to get off and Ethan's not about to stop!

Briggs watched this amazing video last week (no less than 10 times) of this talented stunt biker (if you haven't seen it you ought to check it out). Anyway, he decided that he wanted to learn to do "wheelies" and he is doing an awesome job. He's crashed a few times but he always reminds me that he "never gives up" and he keeps trying; he is pretty good at catching some air!

I don't know what it is with kids and pushing strollers but all of our kids have done it...ALOT! Anyway, here is Ethan pushing the resident stroller. Silly boy! I'm going to miss these days!

Brooklyn knows she can't go into the street so she often stands at the end of the driveway watching the boys ride their bikes and play with the neighbors! Someday Brooklyn...Someday!

Me and Brooklyn will finish this one off!!
Happy Fall!!
