Fall Fun with the Bryant's

Happy Fall Ya'll!!!

I have to start by saying this is absolutely my FAVORITE time of year. For this reason, there is no way I could survive living in Florida or the west coast. I MUST have this season :)

Reasons why I love it:

The weather is absolutely gorgeous, I think I could live outside :)

The crisp air that makes you feel so good you can't get enough...

All of the beautiful colors God created in the leaves, completely breathtaking!

The falling leaves the blanket the ground, so much fun to play in!

Going to the mountains to take in all of the beautiful scenery and pick apples.

Pulling out that favorite cozy sweatshirt and blankets and snuggling to get warm :)

Apples, pumpkins, mums, scarecrows... :)

Apple cider and hot chocolate, smores by the fire -YUMMY!!!

Celebrating fall birthdays, so glad God gave us our special blessing in Lucas this time of year. I have such great memories of my fall birthday parties- especially playing in the leaves that my parents would rake into giant piles :) Who needs the summertime and the pool!! ;) Hopefully we can do the same for him over the years...

Our wedding anniversary :)

Precious little ones dressed up for Halloween :)

Just thankful to get to be here, enjoying another beautiful change of season with as our own little family!

LOVE IT!!! :)

Here are some pictures from our adventures the last few weeks enjoying fall and all of the beautiful blessings it brings. We have got to spend time with both close friends and family and enjoy more firsts for Lucas. Life is good, God is great- really, really GREAT!!!!

Enjoying the view and the apples at Carter Mountain Apple Orchard. We ventured to Charlottesville a couple of weeks ago to pick some apples and check out the beautiful scenery, it was such a beautiful day and we all had a blast! Lucas and Aubrey watched from afar with Daddy's while myself, Keri, and Preston ventured in to the trees to pick the apples. We'll get everyone out there next year! :) The Edmond's family - Keri, Preston, Aubrey, and Greg - at Carter Mountain Orchard.


Lucas playing with his surrogate big brother, I think they could pass as twins if they were the same age! They have VERY similar mannerisms, habits, etc. And since we are all such good friends I'm sure Preston will be teaching Lucas the ropes, I know they are gonna be best buds :)

Here are some pictures from Halloween night. Lucas was a chocolate milk cow :) Kind of ironic (as a friend pointed out) since he spent many of his first months of like really disliking cows. He would pout like you have never seen and burst into tears if he heard any mooing....Now, thankfully, he is past that and likes to play with cows :) Actually his Little People farm is probably one of his favorite toys right now!

We did actually take him trick or treating to a few houses in our neighborhood. He seemed to really get a kick out of it. We had to help hold his bag but he would light up when we walked from house to house. We ventured around with some other neighbors who have little ones right around his age. More future friends!!! ;)

He was totally intrigued by the candy. We let him try a bite of a Kit-Kat and a piece of candy corn (mommy's favorite) We'll share more on that later, it is completely worthy of its' own story!!! :)"Sharing" with Hunter.....Playing with big cousin Justin, another favorite buddy. I am most definitely sure these two will get into trouble together ;) But they really love each other for the time being. Hopefully it stays that way and Justin never thinks of Lucas as the little "tag-a-long" as they get older.

That is it for now, we will be back with more soon :) Hope that you all are enjoying this beautiful fall season and may your lives be blessed beyond measure.
