Peyton was born on September 12th, 2011. She was 8 lbs. and 21 1/2 inches. She is by far the largest baby Michelle has had. Her brother and sister were excited to welcome her into the world.
Friday I left early to go to Utah and help Michelle. She had to go to the doctor and they were concerned about her blood pressure. So they set the date for her to have Peyton on Monday. But FIRST, was Brayden's birthday party on Saturday. He loves superheros as you can tell.
Mitch, Kyle and Steven hiked the Sawtooth in August. I was waiting to get some pictures from Mitch and Kyle, but these will have to do. Steven got pretty sick, but I think they had a good time. Michelle and the kids hung out here.
Brayden has several super hero costumes. (Some still at home and getting more for his birthday).
Everyone (even adults) couldn't resist playing dress up with Brayden. The little girls (Addyson and Adilynn) played too, but wouldn't stay in the costumes long enough to get a picture.
Michelle, Brayden and Addyson came to visit from July 27th - August 3rd. July 27th - Came about 4 pm. July 28th - Went to I.F., played Adilynn Woolf's pool with Brittany and Adilynn. July 29th - Went to Rigby Lake (pictures above) Grandma and Grandpa Harrison was there too. July 30th - Went to help Mitch and Brittany with yard - got in pool with clothes on :). July 31st - Went to church and had dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Harrison and Mitch's Family.
From Top to Bottom 1. Michelle in front of Pier 39 2. Michelle, on cruise, in front of Golden Gate Bridge 3. Waiting for trolley ride. 4. Leaving Pier 39 and going home 5. WAITING at the airport for our flight.
I needed to go to an A.P. Government conference this summer. I was able to take Michelle with me. Only one problem - she is just less than 2 months from her due date. First of all people told her not to fly; then we got yelled at for thinking about going on the speed boat from Pier 39.
We did a LOT of shopping and eating. I had a great time and it was so much better to have Michelle there with me.
Adilynn stayed for the weekend while Mitch and Brittany had a little break (temple, dinner, marathon for Mitch and movies). It was fun having her! She loves playing in the water.
We decided to update our kitchen for the next couple of years:
