Leaves, leaves, leaves!

I saw Barb's post about leaves on A Tale of Two Twinkies and it reminded me I had some great photos of the boys and Avery and Tessa playing in Gramma and Papa's backyard full of leaves!
This was about 2 weeks ago, it was a beautifully sunny fall day and perfect for jumping int the leaves. Which Quentin for sure did, he jumped so hard into the pile you could feel him hit the ground and he ended up with little bruises in his knees later. He takes his jumping seriously!

They all had so much fun. Avery was raking, Jack was throwing the leaves up in the air, Tessa was just trying to figure it all out, while (like I said before) Quent jumped and jumped! They loved burying Aunt Kyle, although Jack was very careful to make sure that she was uncovered. It was a fun day, running and playing outside!


Excited Avery


Happy Tessa
(there are literally very few times that this sweet girl is not this happy, she's just a very happy baby)


Squealing Jack


Rolling Quent


Who found Aunt Ky-Ky?



Get Papa with the leaves!!

oh! Looks like they were having a blast! A few days after our first leaf pile, Paul was out mowing/sweeping the yard with the tractor and I grabbed the rake to rake out leaves from corners and under the playset so he could sweep them up. Jacob was right behind me, trying to get into every small pile I raked up for Paul to sweep up and then definitely looked disappointed that Daddy took his leaves away. Haha!

This last photograph is just stunning - light, sun, pose, everything.
