Coke in the Bottle

All three of my kids have dark brown eyes......but Easton's are the very darkest.  His eyes went dark brown almost black within a few days after being born.  I always tell him that his eyes look like the color of Coke in a bottle...because they do.


My brown-eyed ninja boy.......with coca-cola eyes. ;) 

Leaves

I love the trees in my backyard.  They were a gift to us from Paul's mom and I remember that they were the exact same age as Allie when we bought them.  My now ten year old trees create shade for us all summer and then turn the most beautiful red in the fall and then.....as if they haven't done enough, their leaves fall onto the grass, creating a new kind of playground for my kids. I'm glad I grabbed the camera to document some of this fun.  Now, who wants to rake them all up for me? ;)

 

 

 

Not a great picture, technically speaking, but come ON! I love her face. I love the moment. :) 

 

 

 

THIS......is what happens when your brother throws a handful of leaves in your face. haha! 

 

 

 

 

THIS photo will forever be a happy place for me.  Who wants to be a kid again? I do....

I Live Here

I woke up to snow-capped mountains and fog hanging down low on the mountains. For the millionth time I thought how lucky I am to live here.
