Houston with Hannah

I was so blessed to be able to go and spend some time with my little sister Hannah and her family in Houston. I have missed Hannah so much since they moved back east a few years ago and now Jake got a job in Texas so I guess it will probably be awhile until we will live close again. I regret not spending more time with them when they lived in Logan. Anyhow, I took the plunge and bought the plane tickets to go. I had major anxiety about flying. Not really the flying part, but the part about me with two kids alone flying. Payton stayed home with Landon. He went to work with him everyday and was such a good boy. Now that I'm back he is really missing working with daddy. I missed them both so much while I was gone. Anyhow back to the airplane ride. Luckily Cole, my bro-in-law decided to go to SanDiego at the same time so I got him tickets that were similar to mine so he could help out at the airport. He was so great! Haylee slept almost the whole way there and Josie actually did great. She fell asleep 10 minutes before we landed and I had a hard time waking her up to get off the plane. When we got off the plane and were walking through the airport we looked up to see the Oylers waiting to greet us. Josie and Molly started running towards eachother and then hugged, it was so cute!!! It was really humid the day we got there and Josie kept saying "Mom, I'm sweaty" the whole day it was pretty funny. I thought Houston was great, it was so pretty and green, mind you it was still the frozen tundra here in Utah. The first night Jake and Hannah treated us to Mexican food, it was so good, I can still taste it!! The trip was well worth it and went way too fast. We had fun shopping, playing with the girls, staying up late , picnics, ice cream trucks, cooking, making tutu's (courtesy of Grandma Lynda), playing Wii, going to the zoo and holding eachothers babies. Thank you Oylers for letting me invade your house. And thank you thank you Landon for totally supporting me on this one....I owe you big time hello bear hunting! This is my favorite picture of the trip. Isn't Hannah beautiful and Annie so so cute!!!
Here's chubby wubby Haylee in her sun hat.

We loved having the warm weather. Hannah says it was chillier than usual but if felt good to us. Molly loved her whale pool. The water was so cold and she was shaking, but she didn't want to get out.
