October came and went WAY too fast!

In the beginning and middle of October we still had some very warm days that were just perfect. So we basically lived outside.

The kids like to either play baseball, throw frisbee (yes even Nate gets in on the action), or jump on the trampoline.




Nate's hair is getting really long :). Here he is next to one of the window wells on the side of our house where the kids are usually getting frogs, worms or caterpillars.

Mimi came up for a visit just when the leaves were in full bloom and it was beautiful. So we took a drive to the PA Grand Canyon bike trail and took the kids on a bike ride to look at the leaves.


My 3 cuties.

We took lots of breaks from riding bikes because Will wasn't feeling too great and was having a hard time riding his bike for long periods of time.We did lots of jumping...

wrote names in the pebbles...

and walked around taking in the scenery.

Then we got back on our bikes before we headed back home.

We also took advantage of one of the beautiful nights and after Josh got back from work we hiked up one of the mountains nearby that my mom has wanted to every time she has come up but hasn't because I've either been pregnant or had a newborn :). So on our way up we rode a small part of it in the Gator because of the cows nearby. Nate was thrilled to see the cows up close because that is his favorite animal right now.

The kids and daddy on the Gator. Josh took the kids for a ride while Mimi and I hiked the trail and gathered acorns while we needed some "rest" periods to catch our breath.

Our fam together on the rock.

Everyone gathering more acorns for the wreath I made. The kids actually loved finding them.

Then one morning before we took the kids to the pumpkin patch we took them out to take some pictures.

I love how they turned out and show lots of their personalities.



I'm so thankful the Lord has blessed me with these 3. They are my joy!

Pumpkin Will @ the patch. We were the only ones there that day!


We walked through the corn maze and got lots a couple times and Will fell in the mud! Good times!

Will and Abby completely confused at which way to go, and so was I.

They each picked out a corn from the maze, husked it, and then put it in this old hand cranked machine that took all the kernals off of it.

The both loved turning that rusty old wheel.

Then we had our own personal hay ride!



Such fun memories with family!
