Leaves...
On the same day that we went on the leaf hunt (Nov. 15th), we played in the leaves in our front yard.
Brandon got off early or had the day off ( I can't remember) and being the awesome daddy that he is, he raked all the leaves up in a pile for the kids to jump in. Ben and Emmy ran a couple times backwards into the leaf pile which they thought was really silly. The kids also thought it was pretty funny when we buried them in a pile of leaves.Ben and Emmy were pretty creative and made leaf angels.
Being the great and amazing dad that he is, Brandon would rake up the pile of leaves after each person would run.I love this picture, Emmy looks adorable running into the pile of leaves and Ben is in the background making silly faces at the cars driving by on the street.The kids were in heaven and loved every minute of jumping and playing in the leaves.
Ben and Emmy were excited to let Hyrum have a turn when he came home from school. It wouldn't be true outside day for Hyrum if he didn't climb the tree in our front yard.It was wonderful to see our kids' beautiful and sweet smiles filled with excitement as they would run and jump in the pile of leaves over and over again. It was a good day for our family!

"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly." -President Thomas S Monson
Sisters, there is something inspiring and sublime about the little forget-me-not flower. I hope it will be a symbol of the little things that make your lives joyful and sweet. Please never forget that you must be patient and compassionate with yourselves, that some sacrifices are better than others, that you need not wait for a golden ticket to be happy. Please never forget that the “why” of the gospel of Jesus Christ will inspire and uplift you. And never forget that your Heavenly Father knows, loves, and cherishes you.—President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
LOVE the pictures of the kids in the leaves! They are so sweet!
