Playing in the leaves

With the change in weather it is time to spend time outside gathering leaves. Clayton is such the little helper, he has his own rake and he is constantly telling his dad where to put the pile, how to rake and telling me that I am doing a good job. He hangs out with his mother too much...



Clayton sees his father with the camera so often that you would think he wouldn't bat an eye. The opposite is true. He often hides when I get out my camera, making it a game of don't take my picture. The best time to get him is when he is playing. Of course I think that is the best time to get pictures of any kid!



Of course just cuz you are playing doesn't mean that you don't need to watch out!



Yup that photo ended the session as I had to clean my lens which got mud (mixed in with the leaves) Clayton plastered me with. I will say it was worth every minute of it!

Playing in the leaves, more life in Bountiful

The great thing about where we live is the there is some outside ground for the kids to play in. The area between the town homes is green and there are a lot of kids in our units that play there all the time. Really life is good. I know we want a real house but we have awesome neighboors and live in a comfortable beautiful location. We shouldn't have anything to complain about.

Fall time is such a fun time for the kids! This year is the first year where Clayton has been able to play in the leaves. Last year he wasn't walking yet and well the leaves scared him as he didn't like the texture of the grass and leaves. Hey, he started out kinda slow.







This year it is fun stuff all fun and games. Leaves are cool and they are fun!



Of course Clayton loves to play with balls. He doesn't care that the balls are worn and well, looking a bit past prime.







Where do the leaves come from Clayton? Here comes one right now!



I have a very handsome son I must say. He is cute to the max! All the girls want to be around this little boy cuz he is a real ladies man. I love that little guy so much it hurts!
