Its been a while

So some of these pictures you may have already see. I wanted to at least document these experiences, just incase I really do print this blog as a journal. when we were coming home from washington for christmas, the highway was closed for 4 hours, and we were stuck in baker city. a small town, but we managed to fine a bowling ally and killed an hour or so. we had fun- and for the record, I beat mike. or he let me win, either way it was a fun adventure.

these pictures are exactly in order, a majority of our pictures were on my phone and my brother in law Kristian helpped me. So I had asked kayden to get dressed for school, and this is what he came up with. he asked me to take a pictures. he was actually proud of himself- at least he knows his "opposits"

Colters birthday Jan, 25,2011, he is now 1 year old. crawling all over, lots of babling and I'm pretty sure he says mom , he is showing signs of walking but loves to be held so much, but I'm wondering if he will be like his older sister, and wait till he is 18 months old. either way he still is into everything. Hailey is our Leap year baby, we celebrated on the 28th mostly this year because that when family could make it. we had Uncle spencer, and (aunt) Caitlin over for dinner- she requested pizza, and then we went swimming, she asked for a bee cake and we skyped with grandma and grandpa salmon. it was a very fun day- did I mention she was pottytrained before she turn 3. we are very proud of her. we have made a few trips up to idaho to visit mikes folks, Grandma is so good to read to the kids, Hailey looks forward to it so. this visit we got to spend time with cousin, among many were cousins from garden city kansas.

great Grandpa kinghorn and colter, His health is always up and down. so we are trying to get as many visits in as we can.

just proof of colts mischeivousness. ( is that a word?) kayden will then close the door and I will be lost as to where colter is.

we got to go to the hunting expo this year, aside from the many vehicles to ride, there were many taxidermy companies there, so it was like going to the zoo, except I didn't have to ask the kids to not reach through the bars.

again a picture that you may have seen on face book, but I just think this is such a special picture. This is my grandma and grandpa salmon. we were able to catch them after chiristmas. it has been a blessing to be able to see them when they come down to see aunt carol. I hope that I can teach my kids how special it is to have grandparents still around. I love my grandparents. hopefully I will be better this summer with our happening now I know how to take the pictures off my phone.
