recent pictures and update for LaVon Salmon Family



We wish more people would use this blog! we think it is such a great idea to stay in touch with everyone, more so now that we are so far away! It would be nice to be in the know :) I thought that I would post an update for our family...
Cyle is doing well. He has started to walk and is very good at it. He loves being around other kids and learning new things and always has more energy than w do.
LaVon is also doing well. He switched offices within 3 weeks of being here at Scott AFB. He will start at the new job this coming Monday. He is both anxious and excited! We have heard that this is very common within the Air Force...
Joy is good. She became a key spouse for LaVon's squadron and thoroughly enjoys the interaction she gets with many key authority figures and spouses in the squadron. She has found that there are many young stay at home moms here that are really nice and has become good friends with quite a few of them.
Our ward is great and continues to get better. we gave talks in sacrament on our 3rd week of being there. We haven't received callings yet but are sure they will come soon.
Our dogs, that's right we have two dogs now, are doing well. Molly (our lab/retriever mix) is so smart and is very good most of the time. Honey (our Pomeranian/chihuahua mix) is a little more rebellious and has a brain the size of a pea but is great for a playmate for Molly and is a great lap dog/ snuggler.
we love it here in Illinois! The weather is beautiful and the scenery is so much more green then Vegas! Thank goodness! It does rain quite a bit, but the green everywhere makes it so worth it!

baby update

just wanted to let everyone know that Jessica has been put on bed rest. The baby tried to come into the world on Sunday evening, but thankfully the wonderful nurses were able to get things stopped.
