Middle Fork of the Salmon Summer 2009

We were able to go on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River this summer for a 6 day trip and bring Marlee, Cole and Kiya. It was amazing and we had great weather! Teagan, Ryken and Lincoln got to stay in Boise with my family, thanks tons for watching my kids Noelle, Laura, Danielle and mom. We had a big group of all family and friends, Mark and Diana got to come and bring their 3 oldest kids and Tara and Grandad got to come too. Here are just a few of the pictures that we took, I know there are tons!

Shaved Heads!!

Swimming Lessons and Mo-hawks!

So, Paul decided to cut the boys hair one night after hearing me talk about them all needing haircuts. Helpful right? Well, the next thing I know Teagan comes down with a mo-hawk! What the heck is going on, ugh. I was thinking, OK, Teagan looks good with his head shaved so I guess I can live with it for a couple days. Then Ryken walks down...and I do not like his head shaved....then I'm thinking crap, swimming lessons, one more day of swimming lessons, this is going to be fun. Teagan thought it was all great, everyone keep telling him that he looked like a real Indian now, he didn't want to shave it off for a while. But Ryken felt a little unsure, he kept touching his head and whenever he saw himself in the mirror, he would be a little startled, he actually jumped a couple of times, poor guy. Cole wasn't sure about his hair but either, Paul said he would get him a DSI game if he would shave it.

Teagan... WOW...loving it!




Cole, not so much


Ryken










Here they are on the last day of swimming lessons at ISU, sporting their mo-hawks.
