Bear Lake

We had a lot of fun this summer but the funnest thing of all was this last weekend my family went to Bear Lake.

We went down Thursday, hung out at our condo (18 of us slept in.) and that night we got shakes, went for a drive and skipped rocks on the beach.  

Friday we hung out all day on the water. Doing jet skis, and kayaks. It was a BLAST! Then we drove up Paris canyon (in ID.) and went in the ice cave. (wish I had pictures) Friday night celebrated Houston's b-day and drove home Saturday. The trip was way too short, but here are the pictures I took bellow...

Addie and I on the beach. :)

Adelaide was so relaxed and loved her tube.

My sisters and I on one of the kayaks.

The kids played in the sand for hours!

The funnest of all... THE JET SKI! My sisters and I getting ready to take it out.

Houston's pinata for his birthday

Birthday Boy!

3 years ago today I got induced to have Houston. It was the best labor. I put my makeup on and did my hair before I left for the hospital. I went in at 7:30am and they started me at 8 and I got my epidural. I started pushing at 1 and 35 minutes later Mr. Houston Andrew Hemara was born. It was perfect! I didn't feel any pain or break a sweat. And for the next two years that was how raising Houston was. He was the easiest baby ever! Hardly ever cried and  very content. Now at age 2 he wants to be more independent and more stubborn, but still such a sweetheart! Some of Houston's likes are... Spiderman, Toy Story, Cars, any sport that has to do with a ball, swimming, and trains. He is all boy but the shyest boy I know. He is so sweet. I dont know what life would be with out him. Here is a walk down memory lane for the last 3  years...

A Face Only a mother could love. I know he isn't the best looking new born but he was the sweetest!

give him a few months and he grew in to his looks. :)

Kindergarten

Where did time go? How did Hannah go from this...

To this... ?

 time flies when your having fun!

 It seems like yesterday I was teaching my Bald head baby to walk. It has been the best 5 years seeing how much Hannah has learned and helping her along the way. I can't believe she has just started Kindergarten. I can't wait to see all the changes and new things she'll be doing by the end of the school year.
