Happy Halloween Tinker Bell


Our little Tinker Bell. She had a really fun time going to a few houses on our street & then up to the Carter for a few more treats.

Since Halloween was on a Saturday this year we went to my work party on Friday for the annual Sloppy Joes...Yummy!!

We also visited Daddy's work. The Herald goes all our for Halloween and decorates there whole office and has tons for treats. Kali was pretty bashful but I think all in all she had a fun time. She also got a special little tinker bell key chain from Brian's secretary....so cute.

Here is just a glimpse of some of the decorating at Brian's work...

Cooper & Kali later that night. Both of them were tired and did not want another pictures so this is the best one I got....

We also went to Grandma Marilyn's school & grandma got to show off her only GIRL...

Carving Pumpkins



For family night a few weeks ago we carved pumpkins..I didn't get many pictures but everyone did a great job and had a fun time. Thanks Nate & Tiffany for always putting this together..

Picking Apples

The Carter has great tradition have having fabulous fruit. This year they picked 20 bushel of Red Delicious apples....and they were delicious. They are so generous with there apples anyone who wants or will use them they give them to. We even used them 2 years ago for an enrichment activity. It all started with Great Grandpa Carter...he has taught chad how to raise yummy apples and we are reaping the benefits...and we all tried to help pick a little to...And we sure had fun doing it.
Grandpa Carter...taking a seat as he does deserve it.

Fall Time

Here is Utah our family loves fall. I loved driving home from work (I work at the mouth of Provo Canyon) see all the leaves. I just couldn't wait to get home to see what our leaves had done that day. This year they were vibrant. The pictures don't even do them justice. Kali & Brian cleaning up the leaves and me and Kali had fun jumping in them.
Kali enjoying the fall leaves...




It was so windy when Brian was trying to rake up the leaves, they were going everywhere...

San Diego State Football Game

The whole reason we headed to San Diego was to go to the football game. The stadium was amazing, the weather was perfect & the company was ideal!! We couldn't have asked for anything more. Here are a few pictures of us crazy cougar fans enjoying the WIN!!

Starting to become a common family photo...

Brian & I enjoying the great weather...

Brian & Jeff....I would say....chillin

This is why they say cougar fans like away games, right?


Willie & Jeff just chillin....

Papa Chad & Kali enjoying some popcorn in the shade.

Grandma Marilyn & Kali (Biggest fans EVER)

The crew. My aunt & uncle Garrison came up from Brentwood California to see the game with us. It was so fun to see them.

Dick & Donna, Kali, Paul & Denice...Donna is my dad's sister...Thanks for coming guys!!

Sea World

We had such a great time at Sea World...My dad was the one taking the picture so he was not pictured.. I hadn't been to see world in like 15 years. Kali loved it!! Especially touching the animals and the Shamu Show!!
At the entrance, some of us. We went with my family & Brian's family. I am so thankful we get along so well & can travel together...I think this is like the 3rd of 4th trip with both families...


Grandma Marilyn & Grandpa Chad at the Shamu Show!!

Willie's Homecoming

I just thought these pictures where to cute not to post. This is on the Sunday morning before Willie's homecoming. I wish I would have gotten more pictures but this is all i GOT...

Mowing Crew

One great thing about my dad & brothers is they are always helping out others. I don't think there is ever a time where they just mow there yard and do there own yard work. They are always looking for someone who might need help that week. It seems to be always someone different. I look up to these qualities they show... Thanks boys for being such a great example.

Kali is trying to get in on the law care....


Team Work

Jeff looks like a proffesional

Well football Season has almost come & gone. We have such a good time waiting for game time of the cougars. Kali can now sing the cougar fight song...and her favorite part is raw raw, raw raw raw.....go COUGARS!! Something that has been so fun to watch. Anything that has the logo of BYU...She immediately looks at me and says, mom BYU!! You LIKE?? Another funny thing Kali says...Mom is it saturday? If I say Yes, she will say...GAME DAY!! We don't brain wash or anything...
