Before Pics of the House





So I promised I would post pics of the house. Here are a few of our work in progress. We really have done a lot of work on the place. To begin with it was built in the 70's -need I say more? It had popcorn texture on the ceilings and faux Styrofoam beams in the front room. The texture on the walls was different in every room which was quite interesting,but even more interesting was the pallet of colors the previous owners had chosen. If you can tell each room is painted in a pastel color with a primary color version of that same color example: the room Brooke claimed as hers was pink with a very bright red accent wall. The saddest thing we discovered about the house was that the paint colors were chosen in this decade. So there you have it our kitchen should be in by the end of this month and when we are as close to done as possible I will post the after pics! Should be FUN!

You can take the Girl out of NY but U can't take the NY out of the Girl!

Our name Salmonites, I figured this was a blog about me and my family, and I figured I live here now I better own it! So slowly I add orange to my wardrobe and try to get accustom to calling Salmon home!
But New York will always be Home!
I've been having so much fun hearing from all of you and I've spent way too much time on this today!! I'm supposed to be getting ready to move!

Boys turned 9 this week!




It's hard to believe the boys are 9 already! Wednesday was there birthday and yesterday we took them and a couple of friends to place called Qwivels. They played laser tag, rode go-karts and mini golf. It was cold but lots of fun. Dustin had the most fun in the go-karts.
Garrett & Ethan and their friends Ethan A. & Ammon.


Giving this a Try!


Hi there I thought it was time I give Blogging a try! I'm hoping it will be a great way to keep in touch with all of our family and friends! Things are crazy as usual so I hope I can keep up! We bought a house in Mid August and have been remodeling it. We hope to move in some time in the next week or two.
