Adam is quitting Homeschooling!

So, is he stoked about no longer being home schooled? Or is he stoked to be entering the ALBUQUERQUE ACADEMY???? The later, of course.

He did such a great job on his testing and apparently had all the right answers during his interview. I can't believe this opportunity that has opened up for him. He is definitely concerned to not lose touch with his home schooled friends, but we won't let that happen. We are always home schoolers at heart.

Adam's mom is still beaming and still comes near to tears when she thinks of how proud she is of him!

You go kiddo!

Two birds with one stone...

Here is a sweet picture of Allison. Although Adam or Ian took the picture to showcase their Lego robot. So there we have it...two birds, one picture.

Jason Turned 4 Today!

Our littlest is now 4 years old. He is not so little anymore. It is amazing how time flies! Here is a super cute picture of him. He recently got a new pair of glasses. Not sure that they will improve his vision, but aren't they fashionable?

Ian turned 6 yesterday!

For Ian's birthday, as with all Salazar birthdays, I made an Ice Cream cake. This one looked particularly pretty.

Also, he has 2 loose teeth. If you look closely at this picture of him, you can see how the two on the bottom are crooked.

I can't believe my little Ian is growing up!

Then comes Christmas...

This Christmas was a boom for the kids. We bought WAY TOO MUCH!! They received numerous Lego sets, several games, Transformers, train tracks...I'm sure there are many things I am forgetting.

Adam said a couple of times that he was having trouble figuring out what to play with, and his indecision was making him bored! Poor kid.

Solstice 2010

This year was the first in a long time that Justin and I did not have to work the day of the winter solstice. We made cupcakes that had sun shapes in them. Yum! We took a short trek in the foothills and watched the sun set. We got a great family game that was a lot of fun to play (although, we cannot agree on proper pronunciation of the game's name: Carcassonne). And we just had a really nice day at home together as a family.

We are happy that the sun is now swinging back towards our favorite season: Summer!

More Adam

I just wanted to post this picture of Adam with his sculpture. He was so proud. And he looks so sweet.

But I also really like the hot glue dripping from the mouth area of his spider!
