A little R & R!!!!

We went up to my mom and Brent's ranch for a little 5 day get away. It was so nice to just relax up there, no cell phones or computers, it was great! They just finished remodeling their house up there. It's awesome to be up in the mountains but still have the comforts of home. This was the first time we had been out of Ogden since August! There were 13 of us, my aunt Jashelle came up from Vegas with her family, and my Grandma and Grandpa were there to, so good to be with family! Warning: Long post, lots of pictures!
We had lots of babysitters up there so we took advantage and went fourwheeling with Scott and Meagan. It was gorgeous! It snowed the entire first day we were there, and then it was blue skies the rest of our trip.
It was calving season again, so we thought Kadence should go see all the brand new babies, I think she loved it! I wasn't even expecting us to be spending time outside because I thought it would be too cold, so I didn't come prepared with hats and coats for Kadence. My mom stuck this adult size beenie on her and just rolled it up, doesn't she look like a little Russian baby?!


Wholly CoW! Doesn't this momma look like she's going to pop? She was prego and about to have her baby calf anytime. She looked miserable, I fealt sorry for her! We were lucky enough to be able to see a calf being born, it was AMAZING! The intstinct these mother's have is a miracle, they just know what to do after their baby is born. We saw her clean her calf off, and then she was nudging it to get up because she knew he needed to eat. It's incredible that the calfs get up and walk within 30 minutes of being born, good thing human babies don't do that, that would be crazy!
There were baby cows everywhere, running around like little kids, so funny!
I had to take a picture of Kadence in her leopard outfit that Grandma Susan gave her, it matched my mom's beautiful new chair. It's a rocking chair, perfect for nursing mom's ;)
Kadence and Uncle Scott, they both have the same big blue eyes.

Scott pulling Adam on a sled, these two turn into 12 year olds when they play!

Family pic, Moose even made it in the picture.
Scott and Meagan.

Kadence loved being outside. She just kept laughing and smiling. I forgot her sunglasses, dang it...it was so bright!

The boys, can you see how muddy they are?!
The famous blowing bubbles face! It's like when she doesn't know what else to do, she goes to blowing bubbles, makes us laugh everytime.
Taking a bath at Grandma's....Thanks mom and Brent for the fun weekend, we loved it!!
