My Birthday

 I had such a great birthday thanks to Jesse and the kids.  We celebrated on Sunday. They let me have the day off and insisted that I relax in my room while they did all the work. They finally let me come out of my room when everything was ready.  They all surprised me with a cute picture poster, a banner, and cupcakes. Jesse fixed a yummy dinner and we had our good friends The Robinson's over to celebrate with us.  I'm so lucky to have such a loving family!

Boys To The Rescue - Logan & Cooper

You might be thinking that I put these pictures in the wrong order, but this is really January 6, 2012.

This has been such a crazy winter.

I can't believe that we were outside without coats, hats, etc in January

We got to play with Cooper while the rest of the Medve's hit the ski slopes.  Logan loved being BIG and helping Cooper with everything, and Cooper was a really good sport to let him.

Tubing at Soldier Hollow - New Year's Eve

So I know that it is now March 1st and I am still blogging about the holidays.  Pretty Pathetic, Right?

We had so much fun through the holidays.  We got to spend time with so many loved ones making special memories.  I know that these memories and these special times together strengthen our love for each other and bind our hearts together.  These memories are what get us through the rough times.

So that is why I am still trying to document the holidays.  I want to always remember this time together.

New Years Eve day was bright and sunny as we hit the tubing hills at Soldier Hollow in Midway with the Evans Family - Everyone was there to spend the day together, which seems rare these days.  The whole drive there we were worried that we wouldn't have any snow to tube on, but we were happy to find the hills covered with man made snow.  It hadn't snowed for a while so that made the runs slick and fast which equaled lots of fun!
Lots of fun until. . . Nana slipped and fell.  She tried to catch herself with her hands and SNAP!  She broke her arm.  It was horrible! Luckily we had 3 doctors close by to help :)  My dad took her to Park City.  They stabilized her arm for the weekend and sent her home.  We all went to Roosevelt for the weekend.  It was sad to see her so miserable.  She wanted us to still have the New Year's Eve party that she had planned and because she had done so much work ahead of time we were able to.  She had thought of everything from food to games to fireworks.  It turned out to be a great night!  She went back to Park City on Monday and had 2 plates and 8 screws put in her arm to hold it together. We are so thankful for good doctors and medical help.

Everything is more fun with Aunt Cortney

Logan's hat is always covering up at least one eye ;)
but he doesn't care.  He's happy anyway.

I'm sad that these are the only pictures I have of New Year's.  When my mom is around I let her take all the pictures or I grab her camera to capture the moment because her camera is so much nicer than mine.  Therefore I end up not having very many pictures of my own of Evans Family events.  I'll try to get some of her pictures so I can add them in.
