More Fall Fun

We took Nana to Valley View Farms to see the giant
pumpkins and hay maze. It's another one of our
favorite fall traditions.

Our Family!
We love you, Nana!

Cupcake Party Details

Katelyn asked for a cupcake birthday party.
This was our theme!

There was a large "cupcake" cake and smaller
cupcakes for the kids to decorate themselves.

Jed made Katelyn these amazing chocolate
cupcake lollipops.
They were beautiful AND delicious.
Thank you for putting so much time
into make these, Jed!

The kids were surprised by the rainbow
cupcakes! It was fun to finally have a good
excuse to make these!

The craft table was all set for making flowers out of
cupcake papers. Some were attached to pipe cleaners as
flowers, but we attached others to necklaces and headbands.
This was a big hit!

All of the Grandparents!

Grandma and Granddad came to celebrate Katelyn's day!

Nana stayed for the weekend too!

YiaYia and Pop-Pop joined the party too!
We were so thankful all of the grandparents could
come to Katelyn's birthday party. What a special day!

Happy 4th Birthday, Katelyn!

Katelyn turned 4 today! We had a fun party with her girl friends and cupcakes!

Daddy helped Katelyn pick out cupcake wrappers
to make her flowers.

Molly and Dirk doing some coloring.

Katelyn chose icing and marshmallows
for her cupcake toppings.

Ellie was having fun!

Molly showed Josh her cupcake creation.

Bailey's creation. There were lots of sprinkles involved!

Happy Birthday - 4 candles for the
4 year old, plus one to grow on!

Ania was sporting her new flowered headband

Macy did a double flower version - she's always a trend setter.
Katelyn and Macy are silly best friends!

Trunk or Treat

We went to Trunk or Treat at church. I didn't take a lot of pictures while we were there, but it was a really great night. There were lots of cars handing out candy, fun carnival games (complete with goldfish!), inflatables to bounce on and fire trucks. Thank you to everyone who organized it!

Josh chose to be Iron Man - he LOVES this costume!
Katelyn decided last week that she would be a princess.
But not just any princess, but Princess Katelyn. She chose
every part of her "costume". Pretty much everybody
asked if she was Dorothy because of the red shoes - we
had to direct them to the crown. :)

This is a terrible picture, but this was one of the coolest
moon bounces ever - it was very fun!

"Firon Man"

Princess Katelyn and Bat Girl Bailey

Baby Wonder Woman and her Mamma

Two cute little monsters - Jackson and Miles

Playing in the leaves

The leaves really started to fall this week, so it was time to do some raking. Plus, we knew with the impending storm, that the leaves would likely be gone with the wind. So, this was our chance to play. It was extra fun with Ellie there to play with us too!

First Birthday Celebration

We celebrated Katelyn's birthday at school today.
Just in time for the playground!

Mom - Look at me!

Time to line up for snack. Ania was the Helper Bear today.

Waiting patiently for snack

Happy Birthday Katelyn!
You're almost 4!!!

Cousin Fun!

We had so much fun with Grant and Jackson this weekend!

Field Trip: Aquarium

Josh's class took a trip to the Aquarium and Daddy got to go along. 

They had a really fun time and Josh is still talking about all of the jellyfish they saw.
