Happy Birthday Adelaide Baby!

Labor: Adelaide was due on Christmas Day and she did as I asked and stayed in til after Christmas. I went in to get induced on Monday the 27th.
My sister went natural with her 3rd baby so I wanted to see how far I could go with out an epidural. My sister Kaycee tried being my dula and help me with contractions by getting up and moving and breathing.
 I was at 6 when I asked for my epidural, but I transitioned too quick before it kicked in and I was in the worst pain for about 10 minutes until the anistigologist  could give me a "booter shot". It was smooth sailing from there. I LOVE those epidurals and wont wait that long next time.
I was in labor for 5 hours and Miss. Adelaide Dawn Hemara was born at 2:22pm. I only pushed about 5 minutes.

The First thing Addie did when I held her was suck her thumb. I thought it was the cutest thing ever. (but she hasn't done it since)

My kids have LOVED her from day one.

We blessed her at church at 5 weeks old.

We've had to much fun with Adelaide. She went to to Lagoon and Hemi won her a prize.

She has two other cousins (Brigham and Rebekah) 4 and 3 months older then her and its so fun to see them just starting to interact.

Adelaide went to Bear Lake over the summer. You can't tell from the picture but she really does loves water.

If you can't tell she does some modeling on the side. ;)

Addie had her first Halloween and we painted her a baby vampire pumpkin.

Adelaide's first Christmas. She got her first baby doll from her Grandma Laura

 She went to town on her birthday cake. Adelaide LOVES food and goes nuts if anyone eats in front of her or if she can hear a food wrapper being open.

Happy Birthday Darlin'! LOVE YOU "LIL LADY"!

My Latest Craft

I've been in a crafty mood lately and Thanks to my new obsession, Pinterest.com I've found so many crafts, recipes, and hair do's I cant wait to try. Here's my first...

I started with 4, blank stretched canvas from Hobby Lobby. (They are half the price from Michael's)

Then went to Wal-Mart and found fabric I liked. (I went to Wal-Mart because they have the cheapest fabric I know of and I wasn't too picky about this project.) I wrapped the canvas in the fabric and secured it with a staple gun.

I then went on Microsoft word and found a font I liked. Hemi (my thinker of a husband) made "stencils" out of cardboard with the font I liked, and he taped it on the the fabric.

Then we got buttons (I bought at Wal-mart) and hot glued them on.

Hemi hung them in our Kitchen.

And here you have it....

My next project will be made out of the cardboard from toilet paper rolls so keep watch for that one. :)

Labor day Weekend

My family had a REALLY fun labor day weekend. We kicked it off by going to the "Herriman Beach" and taking my parents Kayak. (wish I had a picture) Then we headed to my cabin Friday-Saturday, with my brother Dallin and his wife Grisel. We rode four wheelers, had a campfire and the guys shot guns. (see pictures below)

Sunday-Monday We went to my grandpa's Campground he owns in Ogden. My cousins Amanda and Audrey met us up there to play games. We tented it, and watched a movie (Rio) in there and Monday we swam in the campground pool. It was a lot of fun! (again, see pictures below)

Monday evening my big family + grandma Pete and cousin Ashlie and Luke got together for dinner at my sister's house to celebrate my nephew Brigham's birthday. It was a lot of fun and Brigham was so cute with his presents and his b-day cake.

Here is me, my dad, Addie, and grandpa Pete. (4 generations) :)

3 very special birthdays...

On August 30th my cute, fun niece turned 5. I have LOVED watching Abbey grow up these past five years. She has been Hannah's best friend. Abbey is such a cute girl. She loves the color purple, loves playing with her doll house and with baby dolls. She is all girl. I am so lucky to be able to see Abbey as much as I do. I love you and Happy Birthday Abbey Marie!!

Here is Kaycee and Abbey at our family Cabin. (Abbey is Kaycee's Princess)   

We love going on vacations with Abbey and her fun family. in the spring we went to ID. and bear world. This is wanting a ride to the pool at our hotel.

Abbey is a DOLL! I love this picture of her. She has the best hair.

Abbey is THE BEST big sister to her two younger brothers. She watches over them and protects them so GOOD!

(abbey and jaden)

Like I said before Hannah and Abbey are best of friends!

NOW, let me tell ya about the hippest Grandma around! Grandma Pete has always seemed so much younger for her age. She is so energetic and fun. A few things about Grandma is... She loves family, she loves to travel and loves the color yellow. I have the best memories of her. She use to have all her grand kids sleep at her house and have a grand kid Christmas party. We still have a Christmas party every year but now that we all have families of our own we don't sleep over. :) I also remember she use to take me to St. George with her in the summers to spend time with my cousin down there. I love your Grandma Pete. I hope you have the best birthday ever.

Isn't she lovely? Grandma loves to travel. I think this is a cruise she is on.

My grandpa don and Grandma were divorced but stayed best friends. :) Grandma was the best, best friend Grandpa don could ask for.

BRIGHAM is ONE today. Him and Grandma Pete share a birthday and the neat thing is Grandma Pete was in the room to see Brigham be born. :) Brigham is the happiest baby I know. He has the cutest smile. I love this baby SO MUCH! He has the nicest personality. Brigham is all boy. He loves to wrestle with his cat Tootsie and he wrestles his brother Jaden while Jaden sleeps. He also likes to push cars around on the floor.

I thought this pictures was SO PRECIOUS. This is Brigham and my Grandpa Don, before Grandpa Don passes away.

Brigham and his big blue beautiful eyes.

Happy Birthday Mr. Brigs. I love you!!!

And there you have it... 3 amazing people w/birthdays 3 days apart.
