A Week in Utah

We have had a lot of fun in Utah the kids have been having a lot of fun.  Playing in snow and playing at grandparents houses.  We have been pretty busy this last week.  On New Years eve I went and Saw Avatar with my brother, his wife and son and Michael.  I really liked it I was suprised.  We stayed up and played a game with the kids.  And just hung out on Friday, but that night I was left with only one child.  Eveyone else was sleeping somewhere else.   We went to Robintino's with my dad and mom.  It was a good realaxing evening. 

Now let me mention Drew broke out into hives on New Years eve, and has been living on benedryl ever since.  He finally is looking so much better. 

Saturday I went to lunch with My Grandma and that was fun to visit with her.  Before I left she said, "becareful."    After we met up with my sister to take the kids sledding/tubbing up at Eaglewood golf course.  Some harmless fun right...NOT!  well the hills are crazy Taylor took off on the tube no fear, went of a jump and laughed the whole time.  I took Drew on the Tube, he was ready to go with out me.  In fact he didn't want me to come at all.  Well it didn't go so well.  We went down this hill, leveled off a little and than down some more and off went and hit a tree.  Before you start to laugh, it was bad.  It was the scariest moment of my life.  Drew and i basically wrapped around the tree.  Thankfully Drew came out al right.  I could move to get to him and hold him. I tried to scoot, but my arm and lower back where in so much pain I could barley move.  WE tried to get me to walk, My dad wanted to call the Ambulance I wanted to try and walk.  I couldn't walk, and so the ambulance came, I was pretty upset by the whole thing.  Embarrassed.    They put me on the back board and put me on a sled and off we went.  I got some snow.  Thankfully nothing is broken.  They gave me motrin, pain pills, and a muscle relexer and a prescription for physical therapy.  My arm in a sling.  and  it's not too easy to type.  kind of painful.  I'm doing better.  But sure put a damper on things.  Needless to say I'm pretty scared of tubbing right now.  I doubt I'll go before I leave.  So my arm and lower left side hit the tree.  I have some good bruises.  Teh tree was only about 4 inches wide.  People who saw it said it looked pretty crazy, I wrapped around it and drew flew around it.  i saw the tree about 5-10 feet before we hit it, way to late to do anything.  I'm just glad nothing worse happened.  So that's my fun for a while.  Now I feel like the laziest person ever.

Here are some pictures from our Chrismtas dinner.

This picture is of my mom and Dad opening their gift from us kids.  It's the beginning of many DVD's.  We took 4 cases of slides (800 pictures.)  They really liked it.  My mom was really touched.  It was the highlight of the night.  Of course we went and watced most of the pictures, it starts with pictures of my Dad's mission up to a few pictures of them married.
