Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas!

We hope you all had a Merry Christmas. We had a wonderful Christmas, My two sisters Colleen and Janet and my nephew Tyler spent the night on Christmas eve, Ty started asking around 5pm to go to bed so Santa could come. We had a great evening playing Wii and laughing so hard. Tyler got rock band for Christmas and that was a blast playing it Christmas day, Dan is a great lead singer and Tyler plays an awesome guitar. Here is a video of Christmas morning with Ty and Blake. Ty was so excited to see that Santa had come and was so excited to open his gifts. Thank you so much for all the gifts we received we are really blessed to have such wonderful family who give so much to our children. Ty was so excited to receive his village from aunt Lisa and uncle Kevin, when he opened it he said "this is just what I was dreaming of." He also was so excited to see his new dirt bike that he ran to it and hugged it. Thanks Lisa and Kevin, we can't wait till next year when we hope to spend Christmas with you!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Love,

Diane, Dan, Ty and Blake

Ty the Pirate

Halloween was so fun this year. Ty was a Pirate and had a blast bothe Trick-or-Treating and passing out the candy. It was so funny Ty would give the girls who came the good candy and the boys would not get so much. He knows how to win the lady's hearts. Blake was the cutest Turtle ever thanks to my sister Colleen finding the outfit. It even had a removable shell. Thanks!!

Welcome Blake!!!

Blake Aaron Salda joined our family Tuesday September 16th at 4:29pm. He weighed 8lbs 12oz and was 20in long. He is a blessed little boy as he had a true knot in his cord. The doctors kept saying he had a guardian angel watching over him. Dan will add the video of the knit and Blake right after birth. It was so good to have Dan's sister Lisa here with us for the week. Ty just loves her so much, and loved to take Aunt Lisa to the zoo. Thank you also to my Aunt Jean and my mom and Tyler for coming to the hospital, or should I say for sitting around all day while my c-section kept being pushed back.
