October

 The first weekend in October was Lydia (Jared's sister) and Kyle's wedding.  It was a beautiful fall wedding, and great to see so many of our family.. I didn't take many pics at the wedding.. (chasing two small children around at a wedding. Enough said)

 Grandma Annette and Grandpa Dale and all of the cousins. Our boys LOVE their cousins!!

 Josiah and Daddy

Camping at Devil's Lake: here are some pics from our annual (3 years in a row now) trip to Devil's Lake  state park.  Our friends Joel and Aliza met us for 2 of the nights along with their son Jakob, who is Josiah's age, and AnnaSophia 5 months.  it was an adventure for sure having 4 small children and sleeping in tents.. but we survived and even had a few relaxing moments :)
