Bear Lake Vacation...All I Ever Wanted...Day 3

On day 3 of Bear Lake, Hemi woke up early (6:AM) and took a hike by him self to this little lake.

Then we headed to Bear Lake for a day of fun!

My dad holding sleeping Addie.

My Brother Dallin and Hemi rented a boat for a couple hours. It was a lot of fun!

Dallin did awesome wake boarding.

Sunday Hemi and took a tour of the old tabernacle in Paris. It was very pretty.

Then we came home and celebrated Houston's Birthday. He was so cute and excited!

We had a Pinata

Having cake and ice cream.

Then we let the kids lay out in front of the t.v. to watch a movie before bed.

A BLAST at BEAR LAKE! Day ONE...

On our way to Bear Lake we stopped in Logan for Lunch and to let the kids run around.

Now we got to the the Cabin we were staying at in Paris, Idaho and the kids had so much room to run around outside.

4 wheeler rides for the kids

And a little ride with my honey.

The kids got to ride in Grandpa's truck to the park.

After the park we headed to Garden City to get the famous, must have raspberry shakes.

After ice cream we came home and let the kids play games before bed.

My Birthday

First My LONG time friend surprised me the day before and took me to lunch.

(A picture to give you an idea of who I'm talking about...)  

THEN on the actual day...

Thanks to the BEST husband in the world I had the BEST Birthday EVER!

Like every Saturday we hit up some yard sales in our area, then Hemi casually drove over to my mom's house. (She lives in the same areas as me) but to my surprise we stopped in. We dropped off my kids to my sister Tawni. Hemi took me to Kneaders down the road for breakfast.

 It was pretty cool because they had the place decorated for the month of August in a Happy Birthday theme. =0)

I haven't ever had their french toast and boy was I missing out. It was THE best french toast I've ever had. Its a MUST try. PLUS $5 for the best french toast you'll ever taste and its ALL YOU CAN EAT!

If you can't tell by the picture, I'm pretty excited. (that is one huge, cheesy smile)

THEN Hemi handed me my present. A gift card visa. :) He knows me TOO WELL! I LOVE shopping...

 ...and I spent the whole thing in an hour.

That night my parents hosted my birthday party at their house.

Some of the clan...

Something I couldn't get pictures of was how much Hemi did for me that WHOLE day. He took care of the kid's EVERY need and waited on me hand and foot. He sure knows how to make a girl feel special.

I heard a Question this week "What was the best birthday present you've ever gotten?" I have two answers for that... One being born in to the best family EVER. (They are perfect for me) and being born to a family already active members of the LDS Church. Seriously the BEST BIRTHday gift I could ever ask for.

Friday the 13th

Normally I love Friday the 13th. They usually are pretty good days for me and so I look forward to them. Today was a little bit different but we tried so hard to make the best of it.

I woke up all happy but the two youngest have been fighting so much and not listening so that just put me in a bad mood. BUT we weren't going to let this good day go to waist. SO we went to lunch at Burger King. Houston enjoyed the crown the best.:)

Then we went to Jungle Jim's to let the kids play. This was the best Hour and a half of the whole day. They had so much fun! Adelaide hasn't really been on rides before so she was a little scared at first but loved it after the first one.

Hannah and Houston on the bumper cars. Hemi and I loved watching them.

Then we went to Home Depot (I love getting ideas for our house there) The kids were AWFUL! Adelaide wouldn't stop running around and ran in to one of those huge stair/ladders that the workers use and cut her lip in two different spots, but that didn't stop her from acting up, So we got home at 8:30 and everyone got put to bed.

I really hope this isn't a new streak for my Friday the 13ths.
