Happy Birthday Hatch!

Hatch is now 10 years old! We celebrated his birthday on Saturday. He had his friends over for some pizza, opening of presents, then some very yummy Costco cake and then we all piled into cars and headed over to Sparetime for a game of bowling and lasertag. We love you Boston Hatch Brimhall.

Family Fun Day

A couple of Saturday's ago we decided to take the kids to do something out of the ordinary. So, after Hannah and Dallin's soccer games we took Frontrunner and rode it down to downtown Salt Lake. Then we took tracks to Gateway Mall. The kids were STARVING so we ate and California Pizza Kitchen and had dessert at Rocky Mountain Chocolate factory, YUM! Then we went to Hansen Planitarium where the kids had a great time.

Soccer Season Begins Again...

Soccer season started again on Saturday. Dallin's game was first. It was a bit cold, but he didn't seem to mind. Dallin did a good job, but most of all had a good time; He enjoyed cheering on his teamates.
Hannah did a good job as well. It took her a little while to warm up, but after she got going, she scored a goal!





HaNNah tURns 7 YeaRS oLd!

Hannah's birthday was a big celebration. On the Sunday after her birthday when she got home from her dad's she didn't want to wait to open the presents we got her so she did open all the presents from us and then we celebrated with some ice cream and brownies.
On Friday we let Hannah invite one friend to come with us the aquatic center to go swimming. The kids had a blast. When we left we let Hannah decide what to eat for dinner and she says "Subway, eat fresh." Sounded good to us. After dinner Hannah and her friend Naomi played the Wii until her friend left at 10pm.
Today, Sunday we had the family come over, Shelley and Great-Gramps, Shannon and Josh, and my mom and Steve. We had cake that Hannah decorated and Oreo and Spumoni ice cream, YUM!
I would say that was a pretty AWESOME birthday!

Love you Bug!



















Payton-9 Months


I can't believe how fast time flies; our baby is 9 months old. She weighs 19 lbs 10 oz. (65%) and is 29 inches long (91%). She is crawling and getting into everything now. She loves to sing, babble, make whatever noise she can. It is pretty interesting considering her hearing loss, she is the louder than any of our other kids were.

Christmas Morning

It was a wonderful Christmas 2009. In the morning we heard the kids start talking and we wondered how long it would take them to come in and tell us to get up so they could open presents. Hannah soon came in because she found the one piece Sponge Bob pj's that Santa had left on her bed and she had to put them on. Scott and I then got up and the kids sat very anxiously on the couch while Scott got Payton out of bed. Once Payton was with us we got started.
The kids were absolutely thrilled about the gifts they received, especially Hannah and Dallin. They both got their very own Nintendo DS's. So, now all four of them can play together; that is what they spent most of the day doing.
