The Brittons

I convinced the kids to make themselves look decent so I could take a few fall pictures.  They ended up having fun with it and we were outside for over an hour yesterday morning.  By the time we got outside, it was pretty windy and bright out, so I was kind of surprised that we had so many good ones.  Gracie's hair  was all over the place!  We did almost a complete lap around the property and I let the kids help choose where we took pictures.  They also wanted to get some with the horses, but I'll wait until Nick is home to maybe do some of those.  Most of these have still not been edited, but I think they'll be ok.  Owen insisted on wearing his hat that is too small for most of the pictures, but that's alright.   We also took the tags off of his shirt that he has had since last Christmas and refuses to wear.  "Mom!  This shirt is so soft and comfy."  Yes, Owen.  Clothes that look nice can also be comfy.  These aren'...

Gracie wanted to prove she could do a handstand in her catching gear. Crazy girl Gracie taking a practice swing ...
