Memories

As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you (if you already haven't). It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

VACATION!!!

We're home and we're all still alive. We just spent a week in Anacortes, WA with 13 family members not counting us. We had the most wonderful time celebrating the 4th of July and my Uncles 50th Birthday. My Mom, Grandma, Auntie and her family along with us all traveled up for the occasion. My cousin Tor and his family live there locally, along with my cousin Shawn.

We had quite the time my Uncle lives on Lake Erie, so there were paddle boat rides, fishing and even a few rides in the power boat. Dell wanted nothing more than to go fishing with Uncle Russ, but unfortunetly not a single fish was caught. We had so much fun and got to do so many fun things so here's the breakdown.

July 1st and 2nd- we(JD) drove the 14 hours to Anacortes

July 3rd- we hung out at the lake and Dell fished and went for boat rides

It was so great to see people from my Mom's side of the family we don't get to get together very often, but we have so much fun when we do. I have to say I have a wonderful family and I love all of you very much. I'll add more photos as I get them.

Summer Time

It seems summer has now arrived all the kids are out of school and Dell and Ellie just want to play. Monday we went to the park with a friend and her boys to play. Ellie is a little shy at first, but she warmed up to Boston in the end and they walked around with there hands in there pockets like they were having a grown up talk it was to cute. Dell and Tyton on the other hand were fast friends and off they went digging in the sand and playing on the swing.

I love this pic, because you can see her hair. She asked me to make a "pony hair" for her.

They also love to ride there bikes. Dell as fast as he can and Ellie has just figured out how to pedal her red trike and off she goes, but her pink one is still to big so she walks herself around on that one. At least they both insist on wearing their helmets.

Ellie walking her bike along the side walk, watching out for brother.

Getting ready. That buckle is so hard for him.

To Catch Everyone up

Welcome to the Carter Crew

Here's to keeping our family and friends updated on what's going on in our lives.

We have been living in Ogden for 8 months now and we're loving. We have a beautiful house with a great view and lots of room for the kids to play. JD is able to work from home so we get to spend lots and lots of family time which we all like, and I help out with some of his work a day or 2 a week. We've recently added to our family with the addition of 2 pure bread Rat Terriers. Jagger is 4 months and is a Black Tri and Kaiya is 8 weeks and is a Tan Sable Tri. We love having them they are great with the kids and even JD and I have really enjoyed playing with them.
