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

happy birthday daddy!!! we love you. Aug 30th, 2013. dirt cake was jared's request..:)

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 :)

Summer

It has been so long since i posted anything!! I cannot even try to post all the picture I have so I will just post a few, and try to do better from here on!!! We are having a wonderful summer, it is going by way too fast.

 Javan driving his "car"

May 21st, 2013. Our baby turned 3! He is growing up so fast.

Javan learned to ride his bike this summer!! He is so proud of himself:)

This summer the boys and I have spent LOTS of time at the pool. They absolutely love it and would rather be in the "big" pool than the baby pool. They are my 2 little fish. 

We took Javan fishing for the first time a few months ago. He had a blast and even caught a few!

 Our Josiah James.  He is getting bigger and acting older every day. He talks so much now and wants to do everything his big brother is doing!!

Both our boys such their thumb and rub their nose with their fingers at the same time:)

He is such a fun little man!
