@Kristin, Or lack of haircut! It’s in her face ALL. THE. TIME.

Do you think Cody will throw me in a leaf pile too?

@Avitable, He’ll throw down, not necessarily into a leaf pile.

Lovely. Absolutely lovely.

@Ashley, Thank you. I wish there were some way to have her giggle on here.

Love the fifth one and all of the in-the-air shots! Looks like she had a fun day

@kat, Want me to show you pictures of all the traffic and smog? Maybe that will cure you…

So beautiful!

Is this in your new yard??

Hope you’re in a turkey coma right now…

Love love love.

@Just Shireen, me too too too. xo

Seriously LOVE this set. The one from behind with just shoes is my fav but I love the falling pictures too. You really should include an audio clip of her giggling. It could be the new “douche bag” clip like on the pioneer woman’s site. And then it would even be more kid appropriate!

@angela, Heh. I did get a little clip of her giggling but for some reason I feel like I’m the only one who really cares about it, you know?

@Casey, Yeah well hopefully now you know you’re not the only one. There is no better antidepressant in the world than a happy child’s giggle.

Lovely pictures! The joy on her face is priceless.

@Mim, I couldn’t even narrow down the pictures because she was just too happy in all of them!

Strong arms is right, I don’t think I could toss my Jack that high if I wanted to.

Great pics as always!

@Rick, Thank you. A lawyer and good at moving around the heavy stuff. Jackpot.

She looks just like you in the first pic! The two of you have the same smile.

Wow, she flys “high in the sky” (like my kids say).

@mommabird2345, I’m seeing me in her more and more. It’s crazy.

I thought for a moment the first picture was you. What outstanding pictures! And what a GREAT DAY!

Casey Reply:
October 21st, 2009 at 9:28 pm

@daysgoby, Heh, I’ll have to find a picture of me as a little kid and compare.

This brings me back to the days where pure joy was found in a freshly made leafpile and someone to enjoy it with. You captured the moment beautifully!

Casey Reply:

@Susan Alberda, Freshly made CRUNCHY leaf pile, doesn’t get better than that.

Wow! Was your heart just skipping a beat watching her go up like that, lol

@Midwest Mommy, My step mom was BESIDE HERSELF with worry. I have faith in my man. He’s been doing it for years.

She has the BEST expressions while being thrown in the air. ANTM 2023.

I love her smile – it makes me so happy! What great pictures – you have such talent. Oh, and pretty trees!

@TUWABVB, Thank you! It’s really the kid that makes my job so easy.

Mega fabulous. I was a kid in Brazil (Vigo County) and Terre Haute. I remember neighborhoods with those kinds of trees, including mine. All the backyards backed up on each other, so we’d go from house to house asking if we could rake the leaves down to my yard. I can’t imagine how long it must have taken my dad to clean that up after we’d had our fun. Thanks for bringing back those memories with your amazing pictures, Casey. Looks like the “OUR house” construction has begun.

@Chrysta, Addie was ready to bring every leaf to her pile by hand if we had let her.

Beautiful pictures.

@Melissa, thank you!

I seriously thought the first 2 pics were YOU when you were a kid. She looks JUST LIKE YOU!

I was just noticing today how brilliant the leaves are here in central IN this year.

We went to Brown County on Sunday. It was a mad house….always worth it…and by “it” I mean the fudge.

Casey Reply:
October 21st, 2009 at 9:32 pm

@LizzB, What’s funny is these are the leaves in Utah in my parents yard! I’m glad I didn’t miss them this year.
And fudge. Yes. Fudge. mmm.

these are STUNNING. these is little more amazing than watching children filled with real, actual GLEE. I wish that leaves made me that happy.

@Michelle, She’s like cookie scented valium without the prescription.

Oh my goodness, she is just so freaking beautiful. She always looks so amazingly happy!

fantastic!

aww. God bless ur lil family

If only you could package that kind of a smile….you’d be a millionaire. She just radiates happiness

You’re a great photog!! I’d like to learn how… Great pics!

This is the most awesome post ever! The photos make me want to ask Cody to throw ME up in the air, it looks so fun.

And here I am, missing the magic of Fall “back home”, only to find it was here in Utah all this time. I guess I wasn’t looking hard enough. Too caught up in trying to be miserable here.

Go figure!

Beautiful.

Beautiful shots. She is gorgeous!

Perfectly lovely photography in all its cuteness/autumness! Thanks for sharing.

these pics made my morning.

Love love love these photos.

Those are AMAZING pictures. And I want the Moosh’s hair in the worst way.

love, love, love the sepia ‘leaf jumping’!!

Holy crap, mama. What setting is your f-stop on in the flying Moosh pictures?

That’s just pure happy right there.
