It's technically still fall (12 more days!), and we have perfect fall weather right now. Last night, we were raking and bagging leaves, long after the sun went down, and it was still 75 degrees. One more reason why I love living in Texas! I will admit, however, it would be nice to see snow a couple times this winter. If we had a white Christmas, I'd be stoked.
Cliff started the blowing/raking job last weekend. We didn't bag everything up last weekend, and one major reason we kept it as it was, was for these two little kiddos:
Above: these were leaves that had fallen the day after Cliff had already made several big piles. It's never ending!
They were so sad tonight when we went to town bagging. The leaves entertained them all week long.
So tonight, we made it a team effort to bag up the leaves in our front yard. I think we got about 20 FULL bags.
Emerson and Stone had gotten in an argument, so Cliff was holding her while blowing the leaves, Stone was raking up some stragglers, I was bagging, and cute Knox was swinging in his swing in front of our front door. He LOVED being outside.
Also this fall, we have a fire pit. A couple weeks ago, Cliff randomly decided to build us an awesome fire pit in our backyard. We had some bricks and stone laying around, and Cliff put them to use. The fire pit is awesome, and our kids were in heaven that first night. I sure have a hunky, buff husband.
And I had to post this picture of Emerson. I think she's gorgeous (inside and out!), and love these couple pics I snapped the other day while walking up our road. Thank goodness for my phone and Instagram!
Hope your fall is going as well as ours!

Kendal! I haven't seen your blog in a while! I need to really get back into the blogging world. Love all the updates. These kids are growing up too fast! Love you.
Man I still can't believe all those leaves. And you have that to look forward to every year? Haha! I love the firepit and it sounds like you'll be able to enjoy it year round in texas. We love having ours. It's definitely not fall here, i can't believe there are 14 more days of fall....craziness!
Your house is so festive! Gavin would be jealous of your decorations...and leaves, there aren't really any trees in our neighborhood. Love the pics of the kids as always:)
That is wild, all those leaves! Your house and yard are huge, that's so fun!
