We went leaf peeping today.  I have lived in Massachusetts for 8 years and I just learned that is what looking at leaves in the Fall is called.  We are so lucky to love in such a beautiful place.  We have had gorgeous weather and beautiful scenery.  The boys had lots of fun jumping in the leaves ad climbing all over the rocks.  Unfortunately the photos do not do justice, so you will have to come and visit us if you really want to see how beautiful they are for real!!

People kept staring at us and counting the boys and asking if they were all ours.  Hard to mistake our four boys since they all look like each other and were wearing red sox shirts.  They were a little concerned for my boys safety jumping off rock walls and scaling the sharp rock cliffs.  We know they are going to be okay.  We are standing right by our children and watching them.  It's nice to know that people are concerned about our children or maybe they are not around four boys that often.  We just have to grin and bare it or grow thicker skins.  Our lovely day at the mountain (that's what they call this in Mass.) ended with the Park Ranger yelling (rather loudly-everyone turned to look at us) at Cooper and Kaleb for walking off the path.  He told them to get back on the sidewalk.  Our boys were puzzled why he would yell at them.  They told us they were capable of going down the small side of the mountain to the parking lot. 

Colton did not want to be in any pictures.  He wanted his mom to hold him and love on him.



Celebrating boyhood!  What a marvelous sight.  They are full of spunk and energy and they are mine.  I have become more appreciative of the fact that I am a mother of boys.  What an overwhelming responsibility.  When I look at these cute faces I can face the challenge.  Mom I know you will love these photos.

Look at Cooper go!  He really has taken off riding his bike.  Kayden decided it was time for Cooper to learn to ride his bike without training wheels.  He took them off by himself and taught Cooper how to ride his bike.  I came outside and he was riding on the grass with Kayden holding on to the back.  It took him only a couple of days to get the hang of it.  He calls his bike the motorcycle, dirtbike.  If anyone is in need of their children being trained to ride a bike without training wheels, Kayden is available.
