Great.. Everyone keeps saying "contrast" so I will def. see what I can come up with.

Great pictures! Keep it up. If you didnt know this, you can edit your pictures online at photoshop.com It is just a free online thing, nothing like the real photoshop but it works.
I'm going to have to disagree about the composition in most of these. #4's head is cropped; #5's head and hands are cropped; and #6's head and arm are cropped.
Also, #4 has a distracting background -- opening up your lens aperture could help blur some of that out; and #5-6 have distracting shadows, especially #5 where I can see you taking the picture.
#2 is interesting, but I think the view point is not so good. I would suggest kneeling down to his level, or close to the log -- experiment with depth of field.
Also, most of the edited pictures have tight crops with make the subjects appear in the center of the frame. Most of the time that results in a picture that does not feel "dynamic" (i.e., interesting), so place them off center next time. Google "rule of thirds" or composition basics if none of that made any sense.
Hopefully that helps some.

Other than the shot with your nephew in it, the other shots have the sun behind the subject.
When you do that, you have to be careful about the angle of the sun and how it reflects off the backround and your lens.
Maybe change your angle some next time you try that.
Also, while talking about the sun, the time of day makes a difference too. During the morning and evening, the sun offers a 'softer' cast, sometimes really helping when shooting the way you have here.
