A dress from Grandma Salmon

For Christmas Pepper got a dress from her Grandma Salmon. Like most dresses it fit up top, but was to short for Pepper. So her Grandma Salmon took it back and added a black ribbon to the bottom to add extra length. It looks perfect. I think she looks so cute. Unfortunately that morning I was checking the expiration date on a yogurt when Pepper snuck up behind me and pulled the pitcher of grape juice out of the fridge. Which splashed all over the kitchen and on Peppers nylons. By some miracle it missed the dress. So anyway, that is why her nylons look splotchy.

Christmas

Pepper opening up her stocking at the Bruce & Lori Salmon Family household on Christmas morning. She enjoyed taking things out and playing with ribbons/wrapping paper. And then here she is with her uncle James. Pepper loves her uncles/dad/grandpa's etc. She likes men. Go figure.

Seattle

Every year the Salmon family makes a trip to down town Seattle. They look at the Gingerbread House displays, go on the merry-go-round and then finish the day at Ivar's. Robert was so excited to take Pepper on the merry-go-round . Pepper was excited to sit on the horse as well... until the music started then she looked worried, by the time it started moving she was bawling.

Botanical Gardens

The display of lights was amazing (which you really can't tell from these pic's). But you can tell Pepper was fascinated by them. Her uncle tanner took her over to get a closer look at the big ball of lights... she was stunned. P.S. she does not wear this flees everyday, she just happens to have it on in the majority of the last few updates.

The Walker

Pepper has mastered the art of crawling. She is super fast. She can now stand (free-handed) but whenever she tries to walk she goes down. I think it is because she just wants to go super fast. Which is not the best speed for learning. But this walker worked perfect... she could take off and not worry about balance. Pepper squealed and laughed while trying to escape whenever Robert chased her. Unfortunately, I just got the tail end of the chase. She also spent a good deal of her Christmas break chasing after her Grandpa Paxman.

Crawling...

Peek-a-boo

Hot Tubing with Grandma!

There was a hot tub at the house we rented. Pepper and Korver loved it... grandma got to take them in because Heather and I can't go in hot tubs do to pregnancy. They didn't seem to mind. They love their grandma.

Thanksgiving Break :)

Robert and I were lucky enough to have both of our families here in Utah. I need to get some pictures from the turkey trott etc. Anyway... We stayed in Salt Lake City where my parents had rented a house for the Thanksgiving break. All four of us kids (+ families) were there. We went to temple square the first night the lights were on. We also visited a museum. It was a blast to have everyone together.

@ BYU Football Game!

My dad took us to the BYU/Airforce game while he was in town. It was a lot of fun, although I couldn't feel my toes. It was FREEZING! Pepper found the whole thing fascinating for the first half. Then slept for the third quarter. And by the last quarter she was done. My poor mother stayed in the car with Korver for the first half while he napped. She barely got there and then left with Pepper. I guess that is what grandmothers do. Spoil the grandkids and their parents.

Not crawling yet...

Pepper gets on her hands and knees to rock back and forward until she decides she wants to go somewhere. Then she goes back onto her stomach and looks like she is swimming. She hasn't quite figured crawling out yet. Her newest thing is lifting her stomach off the floor by balancing on her hands on feet. Robert calls them her whale push-ups.
