Payton's First Swim

On the Fourth of July the family spent the day at Uncle David and Gretchen's pool. We ate food and the kids swam and swam and swam and swam and you get the point :)
Scott wanted to make sure Payton was included so he had me strip her down to her diaper and hand her to him for her very first swim. I don't think she liked it, but it's a cute picture anyway

West Point Days

To celebrate the 4th of July the whole family met at park in West Point for West Point Days. We grown-ups sat around and talked and the kids played at the park, went and played on the blow up slide and bouncing room and got their faces painted. The city also fed everyone good ole' sloppy joes with cookies, chips, and watermelon. Afterwards we all came back to our house and watched the fireworks from our backyard since we have a clear view. It was a good time.

Waiting for the fun to begin

Happy 12th Birthday Jarynn!

We celebrated Jarynn's 12th birthday on the 24th. We spent a few hours at Lagoon and then by Jarynn's request we went to Golden Corral for dinner. After dinner we came to our house for cake and ice cream and of course presents! :)


Hannah's Tumbling Costume

Hannah had her tumbling recital on the 23rd. Here are a bunch of pictures of her costume before we left. She was such a joy to watch and to see how much she had improved. She is signed up for kick overs next year so we are excited to see what she accomplishes.

One Week Old Today

Our baby girl is a week old today. We have been so blessed; she is such a good baby. I love being able to be home and enjoy this special time with her.

Payton Dana Brimhall

Sorry to all I know I took me for-ev-er to get these pictures up but I finally did it, enjoy!

Payton was born on schedule on June 8th at 12:21pm after about four hours of labor. She weighed 6 lbs. 8 oz. and was 20 inches long. She is a really good baby and we all adore her to death; she completes our family.

Right now Scott and I have time alone with her. Jarynn and Hatch are with their mom and Hannah and Dallin are in Nevada with Grandpa and Grandma.

She has ventured out with us on some errands. We went to Babies R Us yesterday and bought her a swing and today she went to her first movie, Imagine That! She slept through the whole thing.

Thank you to all who have called and e-mailed we appreciate it very much.
