The Fun We've Been Having

Every year Hemi takes the kids to go sledding. TheyLOVE it!

Then it warmed up and Houston has been asking to go fishing for months, so Hemi took him to do that. (if you cant tell Hemi is such a fun parents)

I really needed a get away, so when our friends asked us to come with them to St. George and to stay in a condo for 3 nights there was no turning them down. Right outside our sliding glass door was a park for the kids. I LOVED THAT!

One of my favorite parts of St. George is the temple. Its my favorite, that's why Hemi and I drove 4 1/2 hours to get married there. 7 years later, now look at us.

                                                                                       
                                                                                      And then came Easter... Houston and Adelaide went on a Easter egg hunt at the swimming pool.

Then the two older kids colored eggs.

Adelaide LOVED finding the eggs. She was more in to that than her basket.

And I'm  happy to say now that is warming up this is just the start of good times of 2012.

 LET THE FUN BEGIN!!

Surprise!!

I can't believe it!!

This wasn't expected at all, but we are getting really excited.

I can't believe I will be having 4 kids. I don't know how I'm going to do it?

Heavenly Father must know better then we do, and really want us to have this little baby here.

Those of you that know my sister Kaycee know we have all our kids close in age. Even this time with out even planning it. :) That makes me even more excited to have her and my sister in law to be pregnant with again.

Happy 7 Year Anniversary

Saturday was Hemi's and My 7 year Anniversary. We had plans but with my kids being sick all week it was best that we cancelled them and save it for an other time, but that evening we did go to Chuck-a-Rama with my family.

Here are most of them who were there.

Here are a couple more who were there.

Hemi and I felt a little bummed that we waisted a special day doing nothing so on our way home from dinner he decided we'd play at Planet Play. I wasn't thrilled but once we got in there and were playing it was a lot of fun and I was glad we went.

Even though it wasn't how we would had liked to spent the day it was still nice to had spent the whole day being with Hemi. My sister helped us out and took the two oldest kids to her house to give us a little bit of a break. I thought that was really nice.

Daddy/Daughter Date

This afternoon my Dad asked me on a Daddy/Daughter Date for tonight at the ESA to see the Utah Jazz. I LOVE the Jazz and my Dad so the answer was a defiant YES! It was a BLAST! We got some good talks in on the drive down. My Dad is the perfect gentlemen and opened ever door for me. AND we doubled with my brother Dallin and his wife Grisel. That just made the date even better!

My Dad and I!

Dallin and Grisel

Entertainment was good...Some green guys playing the drums. They looked like grasshoppers

We played the New Jersey Nets and some 5 Utah Jazz ex -players were on that team so it was cool to see them play again.  

I REALLY like Thurl Bailey (ex-jazz player) and was so happy when I got to wave at him and he stopped for me to take his picture.

We WON 107- 94 And there you have it folks... My Daddy/Daughter date. Pretty cool eh?

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. :)
