Our Cabin Trip

All right! Get ready. I had a little of bit of time this morning, but I don't know when I will again....so here are all my favorite pictures from Labor Day. I can't believe I am almost a week late getting these on here!!!! It has been a crazy week. We actually plunged into ministry this week. We had our first Sunday School class. Allen, Karen and I are teachign 5-6th grade. They were super. I just love them already. The funny part is that I have heard from tons of people how wild they are and things....but we had a great class. Part of it is that this is my favorite age anyway. Quirky but fun :) Then we started our Experiencing God Bible study. Now we are not teaching...we are learning....lots and painfully lots! Then I also joined the church's Praise Team. I sang for the first time on Sunday. Then next Sunday I sing my first solo in 8 years!. Nothing like jumping in with both feet.

The traditional $.25 cone by the river

All the kids hiking up my parents path in the woods

My parents with Dakota, Gavin, Emily, Hannah, Allison and Joseph in the woods

My cousin Amanda is showing the kids the 4 ft snake they found on the road. Very cool. I didn't know we grew snakes that big in WI!!!

My men! I just love Daddy and kid pictures. I have the most wonderful and amazing Daddy for my kids. I am so blessed and so are they!!!

All the kids' feet. My mom has a foot fetish :)

Sitting on a log in the river by the waterfall. A very favorite spot for all the kids to play

Floating down the river all by herself (Hannah)

My cousin Stephanie (Amanda's sister) and Joseph

I love the expression on Hannah's face. Chris was in mid sentence and isn't really buck-t00thed :)

My Uncle Mark playing with the kids in the sand at the lake.

You have no idea how many pictures I had to snap in order to get one where they are all almost looking!!!!!

My honey and me at the river(the crash site for those of you who are in the know :P)

Jen, Steve and Sierra got to come up for a couple of hours. It was so good to see them. I miss them terribly! Here is Jenny holding Joseph.

My birthday princess, Hannah!!! Can you tell how exhausted she is? :)

My best friend Jen and me. Yeah, it was late. All my makeup and everything had worn off. I look a bit rough :P Oh well....love ya Jen!

Dana and me at the lake. Do we not have the sexiest sunglasses ever?!

Brave man! My brother teaching the girls (Hannah and Allison) how to fish!

This was the beach we were sitting on. In land a little farther it is a Christian camp. My dad actually took this picture. Bravo Dad!

Can you tell I am quite fond of him? Wow, amazing. We got two pictures of us in one weekend!

Hannah, Emily and Gavin right before the cake. Boy are they tired!

Miss Emily blowing bubbles and building sandcastles. She is my most photogenic and likes getting pictures taken :)
