Baby B 9 weeks
Baby B 11 weeks
Twins!
At the 9 week ultrasound, the babies looked like little beans so J calls them the beanie babies, and even though they're looking more like humans than food at 11 weeks, she still calls them the beanie babies.
J thought this was the coolest thing ever and every time we see a track hoe she points it out and says, "that's what Uncle Scott drives". Then, as a special treat, Aunt Heather made J a princess cake just for fun. 
J is convinced that it was her birthday cake, she LOVED it. I don't think she was too happy when everyone started to eat it! Thanks Uncle Scott and Aunt Heather for being so AWESOME!
at first she was a little nervous about meeting them so Mommy or Daddy had to go with her, but then she figured out what to do and didn't want any help.
Our next adventure took us to Kolob Mountain where my parents have a cabin. My whole family was able to go and between all of us, it took 2 arctic cats and 4 snowmobiles to get us up the mountain. J isn't a big fan of snowmobiles so my wonderful SIL took J with her in one of the arctic cats while hung on for dear life while riding behind Erik on a snowmobile. The ride up was a bit windy since a storm was coming in and by the time we reached the cabin it was starting to snow on us. The next morning was a beautiful day so we headed out right after breakfast. While we were getting ready to go, J entertained herself with the icicles that hang from the eves 
while Keegan watches. 
We found a slight hill near where we tried our hand at tubing. 
Once we got the hang of it people started getting daring and going double on the tubs. 
J enjoyed catching a ride with whomever she could. 
She really wanted to go by herself but she was too small to fit on the tubes alone, we eventually got a small plastic container for her to sit in and slide down the hill. 
Everyone was having such a good time (and some we're a little to impatient to wait for the tube) 
so Aunt Heather went back to the cabin and brought us a second tube. 
Which made the possibilities for fun endless! 
In fact, it's a fun (and a bit scary) to think of what you can do with a snowmobile, rope and 2 inner tubes. Uncle Scott was the first one to test the set up,
after a couple of single runs, the second tube was tied on. 
While everyone was taking their turns on the tubes, grandpa attempted to take J for a ride on the snowmobile, it didn't last very long. 
All this activity wore everyone out, including the dogs (who had been out frolicking in the snow all day with the rest of us)!
Once we got to Utah, the fun and activities started right away. Our little family went to Zion National Park the day after we flew in (my sister had a free pass that was expiring a few days later so we decided to take advantage of it while we could). We hiked to the Lower Emerald Pool (1.2 miles)
and to Weeping Rock (1 mile)
and J hiked most of the way by herself on both of them. Then we had a picnic by the river before heading home. It was a fun day for all of us.
