Fall Leaves

I think I've said it before, but Fall is my most favorite season. One of the biggest reasons for this is the beautiful showcase of leaves that show up this time of year in the south. There is just something very special and nostalgic to me about colorful, rustling leaves. I absolutely love watching them fall from the trees and float down to blanket the ground. And of course Fall wouldn't be complete without the chance to play in them! We have taken the opportunity on a couple occasions to do just that!

Here are Tyler and Allison enjoying the leaves (and the tree they fell from) at the cabin:







This picture really doesn't do them justice, but the mountains (yes, those are mountains to us) are just so beautiful this time of year! Tyler is watching an airplane pass by.


These next pictures were taken last Sunday after a special Stake Conference that was held. We got to enjoy both a talk given by Elder Snow from the Seventy and these beautiful leaves on the front lawn of the Stake Center.

Our adorable princess.

Lana and Allison running through the crunchy leaves.
Our handsome little man.
Tyler, Kayden, and Uncle Jon getting ready for a leaf fight!

yay, you did get my kids in a couple of those pictures. I'm a slacker but I really do hate my camera these days. It doesn't take good pictures anymore, or maybe I just have outgrown it. :) haha.

beautiful pictures! isn't it wonderful that the Lord provides free playthings for children- leaves, snowflakes, frogs, caterpillars, pinecones, rocks, sticks, dirt...i like playing with all these things too! His creations make the best toys - forget Transformers and Barbies.

What cute pictures! Okay, the recipe I use for my strawberry freezer jam is the one on the insert of the low sugar Sure-Jell pectin in the pink box. Just follow the freezer jam directions and whammo, deliciousness in a jar!
