Finally Baptized!


Carter has been counting down the days until he gets baptized. Today was the day and he had so much fun. He started his day with an early morning basketball game (playoffs), which they were tied with 3.9 seconds left of the game and his friend Ethan made both of his foul shots. Therefore, they won the game by 2 points. Then he and his Dad rushed over to the church to get changed into their baptism clothes. Most of Jared's family and my side were there, along with some of our good friends. It was so nice to have so many people come to support Carter. He loves a crowd. We all came back to our house for a big dinner afterwards. It was all delicious. Thanks to those who contributed. Last but not least, Jared and Carter went to Pocatello with some friends and went to the ISU basketball game tonight. He is going to be one exhausted kid when he gets home. I hope Carter had a special day and will be able to remember it for a very long time. He's such a good boy (when he wants to be), and he makes my life so much more "interesting"....in a good way!

Undefeated...so far

We have had a lot of fun watching this team play basketball this season. This picture was taken right after their game last week, so they all look like they are exhausted. They have their playoff game this weekend, so we will see if they can keep their winning streak alive. Carter is also getting baptized that same day. It is going to be a busy one!

Turning 8 is Great!





It is Carter's 8th birthday today! He had a Great day that started with a basketball game this morning at the Apple. He scored 16 points! He thought it was pretty cool that he made 8 baskets and turned 8 all in the same day! His team did awesome...the score was 56 to 27. Not so good for the other team. After the game, we met all of Jared's family, took the kids swimming and ate pizza & cake. It was all I could do get Carter out of the water to let us sing to him and have him open his presents. He wasn't all too interested in that part of the party. Maybe that's not such a bad thing though. His cousin Jaida is having a birthday very soon, so it was fun to celebrate their birthdays together. One of his best buddies came along for the fun. We love that kid too. Now we get to look forward to cub scouts. Hhmm--

STEELERS WIN....again

For those of you who don't know Jared that well, he LOVES the STEELERS. He loved them when we was young and when he served his mission in Pittsburg (where he wasn't allowed to attend a football game), but was excited about being there anyway. He is a true fan of this team . He's not like those guys who decide they like whoever is winning at the time.
It ended up being a great game with a even better ending! Jared still has a huge grin plastered on his face. He got many calls and texts during and after the game. I am happy for him :)
As for me, I had another fantastic rich chocolate brownie for desseret made by my friend Carrie. It was a perfect treat to eat while "enduring" the football game.
