Snowshoeing at the Cabin

Darin and I took the kids for a day trip to our cabin.
We also took my cousin, Blake, and his girlfriend, Ashley.
By the end of the trip his girlfriend was his fiance!!

Here is a little video of the fun day!
(The end of the video shows the proposal...and spoiler alert...she says YES!)

Scary Movies at the Cabin

We took up a few of our friends to the cabin to watch scary movies this weekend.

5 families. 10 adults. 13 kids.  Full house.

Luckily, all the men got off work early and we got a head start.

We had a yummy soup, salad, and bread dinner.

Then, we watched our scary movies.

The kids watched "Hocus Pocus" upstairs while the adults watch "Wait Until Dark" downstairs.

In the morning the boys went fishing then we all had breakfast.

We went for a short hike, saw the fairy forest, ate lunch, and just hung around the cabin.

It was a really fun weekend!  

Thanks friends for joining us and for all your help with food, cleaning, etc.

I love these three cute boys!  

All ready for bed.

Funny boys!!

These three boys were pretty inseparable. 

To the fairy forest!

Darin made us some super yummy hamburgers and hot dogs!

Roasting marshmallows!

Thanks for joining us!!

Trip to the Cabin

This weekend we took a quick trip up to the cabin with my sister and her family.

I usually take a ton of pictures, but this time I didn't.

We did a lot of the usuals...campfire, movies, shooting the BB guns, the fairy forest, and hiking.

Oh, and lots of yummy food.

I didn't get my camera out until our final hike, and for the ride home.
The colors are starting to change and it is beautiful up there!

Thanks for joining us, McMurray family!!

Trip to the Cabin

We didn't make it to the cabin as much as I would have liked to this summer.

We decided to take one more trip up before school starts.

Darin took Friday off and we headed up Thursday night.

There is something about being in nature, away from it all, that is so special.

I thought my heart was going to burst about 100 different times.

I cannot express how much I love this family of mine.

As a girl, I always imagined how my husband and kids would be.

I can honestly say, even in my wildest fantasies, I didn't think it could be THIS GOOD.

I love that my kids love each other.

I love that they think our family is the best!

I love how Darin is with our children.

I could not be more grateful for this life.

Darin took us to some fun lakes we had never seen.

Darin took Matt fishing while Lindsay, Andrew, and I cuddled in bed.

As always, the trip was filled with music, yummy food, relaxation, marshmallows and more.

And here is a little video I made of our trip.
