Amazing Maze

In anticipation of the rain, Jeff made a maze in the basement out of furniture boxes from work. It was awesome! Josh, Katelyn and all of their friends (and parents) had a fun time crawling around in the maze. Katelyn will chase Josh around it now too! Thank you Jeff!!!

Peek-a-boo, Katelyn!

Today we asked Josh, "Who is funny?" Josh replied, "Ham (Sam)"

Rainy Halloween


We managed to get out to trick-or-treat for a little while once it stopped raining. The older kids got the hang of going door-to-door. We'll see if Josh tries to ask people for candy when we're out on next walk!

Birthday Celebration

We had one final birthday celebration for Katelyn with our family and friends. Katelyn LOVED her chocolate cupcake - starting with licking the icing off and finally grabbing the cake in both hands to eat it. She was really cute and messy!




Katelyn was able to help with some of her presents this time!

Happy Birthday, Katelyn!

Our baby is one today. It is hard to believe - the time has gone by so fast. But we are so thankful for this past year - fast or slow! We had a low-key day. It was a rainy one, so we were inside. We started the day with chocolate chip pancakes and ended the day with ice cream! Now that is a celebration!





Who needs a spoon, right?

So Big!!!

A day on the farm

Today we went to Rich Farms in Uniontown, PA with Nana, Grandma Squires, Uncie and the K. Squires family to continue Katelyn and Jackson's birthday celebration. It was really an amazing place for the kids. There were animals, tractors, hayrides, playground equipment, a bounce house, corn maze and pumpkins. We had a wonderful time!

One of Josh's favorite parts of the farm. He could have sat up here all day and have been content!

The goats made Josh giggle!

Joshy and Mommy on the hayride

Josh's other favorite part of the farm. He also would have been happy to be pulled by the tractor all day! Josh, Grant, Katelyn and Jackson rode this multiple times.


So cute!

Katelyn loved the pumpkins and kept trying to pick up the big ones

Do you think Jackson or Katelyn realize the other cousin is even there?

Katelyn really liked standing at the animal cages

The family on the hayride!

Birthday Celebration for Katelyn and Jackson

We celebrated Katelyn and Jackson's birthdays at Nana's with all of the Squires family.
Jackson turned one on the 17th and Katelyn turns one on Tuesday the 27th.


Each baby had their own cake decorated by their mommies.

The Happy Birthday Girl!

The Happy Birthday Boy!

We can't believe our babies are one!

The Daddies and big brothers helped Jackson and Katelyn sing "Happy Birthday" and blow out the candles.

Katelyn daintily ate the icing off of her cake

Jackson dug into his cake!

Grant's Soccer Game

We went to Grant's soccer game on Saturday. The Superstars were a lot of fun to watch. The kids play 4v4 and the coaches are on the field directing the players. We had a lot of laughs! Josh wanted to be on the field too, though he preferred to throw the soccer the ball rather than kick it!

Josh and Jackson cheer on Grant

Grant is #2 - second blue player from the left - he scored three goals!

We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo...

We went to the zoo on Thursday with Parker, Macy, Jack and Luke. We couldn't pass up a beautiful day! The boys had a fun time running around and taking turns pushing the girls in their strollers. It was a fun afternoon!
