{-Cabin Getaway-}

Last weekend we went to my brother-in-law Johns cabin.  His family has the nicest cabin up Heber canyon.  It is called Timberlakes!  It is such a fun cabin and it is almost way too nice to call it a cabin.  It is more like a resort.  When we get to go we feel so spoiled.  So before I share our weekend I just want to say thanks to John and Ash and of course Pauline!!
My family is starting to change so much.  My parents now have 18 grand kids and we found out last week one little girl is on the way(Yay Tracie) so a total of 19!!  Which finally brings the running total count to 6 granddaughters and and 13 grandsons!  And so the age ranges from 16 down to 1. 
Anywho, on Friday my family, Tylers family, my parents, and John and his two youngest headed up.  We got up to the cabin around 3 and can I just tell you it is seriously a piece of heaven on earth.  Just being in the cabin surrounded by beautiful snow, mountains, and family.  It doesn't get much better than that.  That night we just snow mobiled, played games, and ate.  Very relaxing and within a half hour of being there me and my ma took a nap!  It was quite nice.  I was wondering how Boston and Lillie would like the snowmobiles and they both loved them.  Lillie was a little hesitant at first but she eventually came around.  
Saturday Tracie and her family and Ashlie, Morgan and Allie came up around 12.  Once again just a lot of laughing, playing, and of course good eating.  That is one thing that happens when you go to the cabin.  Everyone is assigned a meal and so everyone goes all out and when it comes time for lunch and dinner your not even hungry but everyone eats because it all looks so good!  Saturday night was so fun.  Cody got all of us playing a clapping game.  Kinda like big booty but different.  My family are not huge game players and so it was fun to do that.  Then out of the blue Cody says "Simon Says stand up!!"  So you better believe it...we all played Simon says.  It was so funny and he did the most random "Simon Says!"  I literally started to pee my pants! 
Sunday was a good day as well.  More eating, playing some games, and just relaxing.  One of my other favorite parts about being at the cabin is listening to Kellie tell stories.  She is the best story teller in the whole world!!  She talks so fast and you really have to listen close to catch everything!  I love it!  She is the best sis-in-law!  Well like always we have to pack up and go home.  I always hate when it is time to leave the cabin.  It means you have to go back to real life!  :(  Boston and Lillie had so much fun playing with there cousins.  Almost everyday they want to go see Brit or Johnnie or Kaels!  I am so grateful that we live so close to our families and my kids do get to know all of there cousins!  We missed Ben and his family and I hope that they will be around to come next time.  Here are a few pics of our weekend.  We seriously had so much fun!  

The beautiful TIMBERLAKES cabin!  Oh so fun!!

Sitting around the bar chatting!

The kids watching a DVD--Boston, Brynlie, Beretta, and Lillie

We also had a little scary moment at the cabin.  Most of the kids were outside and Kellie and Jack were upstairs getting ready for the day when we heard this huge glass crash.  We were not sure when the noise came from.  We thought Jack had pulled something over.  Tyler finally went into the bathroom and the mirror that is 42x49 had totally fallen off the wall.  Kellie had just left the bathroom so we are glad no one got hurt. 


Poor Allie doesn't have anyone her age to play with so she gets stuck helping with babies.  Making sippies and cuddling with them!  Thanks Al!

You gotta love my dad!  His new pup had an eye infection so he had to bring them to give them its medicine!

Here is Jack!  He plays so good all by himself.  You never hear a peep out of him until someone sings "I like to move it" and then he gets mad!  LOL!!

Lillie and Jack--They are three weeks apart and are starting to be good little buddies!

Brit and Boston are already best buds.  They love to play with each other!

Cody and Brynlie!  She is getting so big!

Here is Lillie's best friend.  Uncle Johnnie!  She loves this guy so much!  He always is so cute with her too!  I love it because it makes Ashlie so mad that she chooses John!  However, Boston does prefer Ashlie.  So I think we are ever. :P

Boston ~ Beretta ~ Kael
The picture is kind of blurry but I still love it!

Brooke ~ Syd ~ Lillie

Thanks Ty for the good chocolate fountain!  MMMM!!!

My little family right before we left the cabin!  Did I mention that I am starting to freak out a little that Lillie will be two in like two weeks!!  Ahhh!  Shes my baby!
