Fall Things

We had a gorgeous fall this year and the colors seemed to last forever!  

We had a huge wind storm the day after I'd blown the first set of leaves from the yard.  It was discouraging.  But the leaves were so beautiful!  Usually the leaves on the ground are all brown but not this time.  

My street is always so pretty!

I love my heavy duty leaf blower and logged some serious hours with it.

Henry played rec soccer and had a great time and was better than average.  His coach commented that Henry has good field sense and knows how to run to where the ball is going to be.  You can't teach that!

Henry suddenly became Arthur's biggest fan.  Poor Arthur.  Apparently getting thrown around like a football doesn't kill bearded dragons!

I got to help at a stake youth activity.  Randy's been doing this for years and it was finally my turn.  We collected money and food for a local food pantry and made a killing.

I took Henry to the mountain biking park a couple of times.  I run behind him and push him up the hills.

Landon won this trophy in seminary.  He's seen Randy giving these out for years and it was finally his turn to bring it home.  Also, Landon gets up for early morning seminary every day on his own.  Such a good kid!

The Smith's came to town!  Our BFF's from Rhode Island are still our favorite people.  We ran a slow six miles on a freezing, sunny, Saturday morning and chatted nonstop.  

We had them over for Sunday dinner and played games.  I love them!  And they love my cooking so that's always a win too.

Salmon, delicious salad, homemade bread, and chocolate bundt cake.  We ate it all.
