These photos were taken about two weeks ago when all the leaves were falling (and before this cold snow came!!) We had a few days of warm weather so I decided to go out and rake the leaves. Our backyard was covered! It took me about an hour to rake up maybe 5 or 6 huge piles.
I can remember my sister and I jumping and playing in leaves as children and having such a good time! So I let the girls come out and play in the piles of leaves I just raked up. They had soooo much fun and I enjoyed watching them!
This was Karly's first experience playing out in the backyard and she had a blast!
A little wobbly on the grass!

She loved going down the slide and into the leaves!! What fun! :-)

Reagan had fun sliding into the leaves and then throwing them up into the air!
Look at the excitement on Karly's face.



You could never tell from this picture that he can be a big meany! If you look closely at his left eye you can see that it is all red. I took him to the vet and found out that he had pink eye! They gave me medicine to put in it twice a day. It has gotten somewhat better but is still pink. Boy did I have a hard time with him at the vet. He is so protective of me and does not like strangers! I had to put a heavy duty muzzle on him but that hardly contained him. He tried his hardest to pull the muzzle off with his nails so he could get at the vet technician. She was very good with him though and just held on to him, petted him and talked to him in a calming voice. Thankfully we didn't have to be in there long. Just enough for the vet to come in, administer the shots and say that he had pink eye. Next time, Derek will be taking him to the vet!! He is too big and strong for me to control!
