Josh to camp...Micah with SIX Moser Girls

Josh went to HS camp with Aidan this year...and missed out on 3 Moser girls...visiting 3 Moser/Lochhead/Morrow girls...and Micah! Cousin time is the best! We treated the Colton Mosers to a great weekend of ice cream and lake time and downtown exploring!

Cousin-Buddies, Nels & Micah

 

We got to have Nels for a couple of mornings in January.  I LOVE having these boys together!  We call Micah and Nels "cousin-buddies" and it is so sweet to see them start to play together.  We know that they'll be thick as thieves in the years to come...

If Odie can do it...

Look at this motley crew we got to go on a walk/ride with!  Such sweet cousins...dropped off for an afternoon of fun.

 The highlight of the afternoon was when Josh saw Odie coast down the driveway on his Strider bike--with no training wheels--I heard Josh say, "If Odie can do it..." and then he started coasting on his bike that had no training wheels on...and then he put his feet on the pedals and RODE out the driveway!  First time!  He was ecstatic!

Halloweenies...

On the Sunday before Halloween, the cousins got together to have a costume parade at G'ma Colleen and Papa Scott's…aren't they cute?!?

I almost caught the hoard of paparazzi parents with a row full of cameras and iPhones…

And then on the actual trick-or-treat date, we hauled over to Whitworth to visit our favorite college students in their dorms.  Kaitlyn is an RA this year and arranged for her hall to have candy ready for our door-knocking kids.  Christina lives in Duvall this year, so we got to go see her room, too!  And then on our way home Linnea called us over to her house off-campus to dig into her candy stash, as well…so fun to be spoiled by these girls!

And of course we saved the best for last--Granny and Pappy's!  They were sweeter than the cookies and candy they dished out.  They found out we hadn't eaten yet and fed us the rest of their pizza dinner!  So fun to visit with them...

Pappy from Joshy's perspective…

Oh, yes…and these were the Halloween presents that G'ma Joan and Papa Greg sent the kids…

Spoiled rotten.  Just like their TEETH after this holiday...
