Its Autumn Time, Its Autumn Time, the Leaves are falling down!

I love the changes of seasons. I love the spring, the summer, the winter and the Fall. I love the fall because it gets a little cooler outside. Not to cold that you have to wear a huge jacket but cool enough that you aren't hot if you wear pants. (at least this is how the falls are in AZ) What I really really love the most about fall is the changes in the leaves. Here in Arizona we don't get all the cool color changes in the leaves like we saw in Texas...but we'll take what we can get! :) Anyways we have a nice Apricot tree in our front yard and it is starting to loose its leaves. We also have a huge tree in the back...don't know what kind and it is starting to loose some of its leaves. The back yard...not that impressive but still fun!

The front yard!

Aren't the leaves pretty?
Well that led to....

This...

And this...

And this! The girls had a good time!
(girls= Paige, Kylee-my niece..and me -I had fun watching them.)

This all reminds me of a song we sang last year in primary... (sing Popcorn Popping)

"I looked out the window and what did I see?
Leaves are falling off the apricot tree!
Fall has brought me such a nice surprise,
leaves are falling right before my eyes.
I could take an armful and make a bed,
a big leaf pile just to rest my head.
The wind begins to blow, and I begin to see—
leaves are falling off the apricot tree!"

Halloween Fun!

We had a great time this halloween! Paige loved her version of carving the pumkin, and loved getting dressed up, and loved the concept of Trick or treating! I actually felt like this year was for her and not just for us...yes I know I still had a blast showing her off in her costume...Come on though..she is just to dang cute!

Cookie decorating with the Haymore Family. Girls and kids decorated, all the boys went to College football game! We all had a blast!

These were the kids that were interested in the decorating! They did a good job as you could tell from the picture above!

Pumpkin Carving with the Goodman family! It was so much fun. After the carving we ate carmel apples...and had more apples than we could eat. It was great!

Even after watching everyone else carve their pumpkins, Paige just wanted to color hers!

Paige playing at the Halloween Library Reading Day

Katie and Paige with the Library Ghost. Paige wasn't feeling good that day but she still had fun.

Paige..pre sugar high! She was being silly playing on grandma Haymores hay pile! :)
