First family picture all 6 of us!!!

Payton Mai Dial finally arrived on Saturday July 12th one day before her due date. I was supposed to be induced on Tuesday, July 8th, but the new IMC hospital was too busy so they bumped me for 3 days. Finally on Friday they started me at around 4:00 pm. It was the longest 3 days of my life. It was like postponing christmas for 3 days only 100 times worse. After much waiting and anticipating she was born early Saturday morning 12:47 am. It was a long night and we didn't get much sleep! The kids came up the next morning around 8 am and they instantly fell in love with her. They are so cute with her. She is such a good baby and we feel so blessed to have her in our family. Everything went really smoothly with delivery and we are adjusting to having a newborn around again, you forget how much work they are!!

All Star Baseball Player!

This year All-Stars was so much fun! It is always funner when you are winning!! They were only one game away from making it to the State tournament. The team was such a great team this year and they had 3 great coaches!! It was really hot sitting out at the games in 90 + degree weather and being 9 + months pregnant, but worth it! Jackson had alot of fun with all his teammates and has made some really great friends. He mostly played First base and pitched. He got alot of great hits, in one game he got to third base twice!! We are so proud of him and all he has accomplished this year!!

Our little baseball players!!

This year Jackson played baseball again. He had alot of fun and Dave helped coach his team. His team took 2nd place. They only lost 2 games. Last year they only won 2 games!! His team was the Astro's. He just finished his season with that team this week and he found out that he made the All Star team again this year. We are so proud of him and he has made alot of improvement this year. He mostly played pitch and 1st base. He really enjoys baseball and so do his parents luckily because it consumes alot of our time in the spring and summer!! Ashlyn and Brinley like going to the games also, probably mostly they like the snack shack!!

Ashlyn also played baseball this year. She did really good!! She enjoyed it and it was really fun to watch her. She didn't enjoy playing when it was cold she told me. We are so proud of her for sticking with it and having fun.

Brinley waiting for her turn to play!

This year Brinley is playing soccer with some of her cousins. She is having a blast and she is really having fun playing with her cousins, Zack, Erik the twins pictured here and Caden he was in Arizona this game. It is so funny to watch them. Most of the kids on their team are 3 and they try their hardest but they are playing against 4 and 5 year olds sometimes.

A Weekend in St. George

Back in April we went to St. George with the Dial Family for the weekend. We had a blast and soaked up a little sun.

Happy Easter!

Making a Fort!!

I walked in our front living room the other day and found Ashlyn & Brinley had made a fort ( and quite a mess!) It was cute though. They were playing so cute and having a great time. They are so creative and have such fun imaginations. It will be hard for Brinley next year when Ashlyn is in school all day.
