Kevin & Liz Wedding

Kali & one of her favorite uncles CORY...Ladies he is single and he is a keeper :)


Grandpa Carter & kali dancing at the wedding...Dad jetted out of there as soon as the dancing started so thanks to grandpa Kali got to dance. Brian this is something you are going to work on...I am sure your girls are going to want to DANCE!!
Kevin & Liz's wedding was last week and what a perfect day it was. The sun was shinning the weather was gorgeous and so were the bride and groom. We are so excited for Liz to be in our family and for both of them letting us share such a special day. Here are a few pictures from the reception that night...I forgot my camera at the temple.

Watch Bracelets

Well our ward was having a fundraiser for the Young Women to attend camp & they were asking everyone to donate something homemade. I wanted to make something fun and learn how to do something different. So I signed up to make Watch Bracelets. It was really fun and all of them sold right away... (Thanks to the girls who bought them, I hope you enjoy them) It was fun learning something new...Thanks Marci & Emily for helping me out..

Daddy's Birthday

Well Brian's birthday was a couple of weeks ago and I don't know where the time has gone.

That morning I ran in my very first 5K it was so much fun. It was for benefit of a guy's daughter that I work with. There were lots of people I knew there, and I think that motivated ME!! Brian played in the Payson softball tournament all day, so Kali and I spent the day at the park. We decided to bring Oranges (So I was like the team MOM) lol for a birthday treat... all they guys were laughing but they ate all the oranges so it must not have been that bad of an idea, right?

After the tournament was over Nate & Tiffany had a birthday party for him...Nate made awesome wings and we bbq-ed chicken, steak and had some yummy salads...Nate & Tiffany's house is the summer house since they are the lucky' ones with a POOL...Thanks again for always letting us come to your house. As you can see from the pictures Kali thought the pool was warm enough...notice that no one else is in....She is our little water girl (She must be related to the Pratt's)

Brian is such a great husband and dad. He is always more patient that I would except, , he always helps me out...ALWAYS...and usually has a smile doing it. He is a great support to our family and he is a really hard worker...I don't know what I would do without him...Babe we love you so much and hope you had a great birthday!

Blog Book

Ok I decided to take a few pictures just so you could get the idea of what a finished book looks like. There are lots of different covers you can choose from. You can put pictures on the front & back if you want to but you don't have to...I have decided that I am going to print mine each year from here on out and I can look back and see the day to day things of the Carter family...Anyway hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions because I was clueless!! Again you can go to the link on the side of my blog and it will walk you through step by step. (And great quality of printing I might add)


Front Cover...I chose a picture and this cover, but again there are lots to chose from


It prints out just how your blog looks. All pages are white, it doesn't print all of are backgrounds we chose... (I think that would be to messy)


Back cover, again I chose to do a photo...but you don't have to.

Happy Birthday ME

Well I can't ever say that my birthday isn't great...Especially with great family & friends... This birthday Brian took friday off since my birthday was on Saturday and did lots of honey dews...I loved it...
*The first thing he did was let me sleep in (and we all know how nice this is)
*then we headed off to Gandalphos for a breakfast sandwich
*then the the Nursery to pick up some plants...I have been really wanting to landscape our backyard (because it was so plain)
*then Brian came home and spent the whole day in the yard planting 9 plants...We had a good time talking.
*then the fen-ally to the day was that he had got a friend of mine to help him print my blog (Thanks Chari) It turned out so great. It is something I have been really wanting to do...I am so excited that I have all of these day to day memories in a hard cover book now...If anyone wants to print there's...go to the link on the side of my blog...The web site is blog2print...they did a great job and good price....I loved that Brian was so thoughtful...Thanks Babe!! I had a great birthday turning the big 29!!

He is so happy to be done and has done such a great job in school. So if anyone knows of any jobs let me know...He will be looking here shortly!!

Missionary Training Center

What a bider sweet day. .Jeff is heading out the serve in the Chile Santinago West mission. He has the light of christ with him and he is ready to serve. Brian and I now have our 3 youngest brothers serving missions for The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints. My other little brother is serving in the Mississippi Jackson mission speaking spanish and he will be coming home in August. So they missed each other by about 4 months...I think this has been the hardest thing for all of us. Our family is close and it is hard not seeing one another. My brother in law Chris is serving in the Roseville, California mission. We are so thankful for there service and truly do feel blessed...

Jeff entering the MTC

Through the doors he goes....

Jeff & his only niece who he will miss so much and she will miss him :)

MTC Continued...

Here are a few pictures from outside the MTC before Jeff went it. It was a beautiful day in Provo Utah. We will miss him so much but know that he will be an instrument in the hand of God. Good luck JEFF!!

Jeff packing for his mission

The night that Jeff was packing for his mission...Kali did not want him to go. She kept saying no Jeff...stay home and then getting in the suitcases...She said he could live at our house in the HAIR room (this is the spare bedroom where I get ready) it was the cutest thing...

Another Party

On Kali's real birthday Grandma Carter made Kali this cake and we had a small little party for her. We just have been doing so much parting I wanted to keep things low key. Kali really enjoyed getting to blow out the candles again....and wanted to help cut the cake.

Stickers For Kali's Room

My moms bought Kali these stickers for her birthday...They are so cute. They stick to the wall and then can be peeled off when you are sick of them. Kali & I had lots of fun deciding where to put them...I think I may had more fun than Kali...They were perfect for her room with all the butterflies, bugs & flowers...
