Easter 2013

 Every year most of the Carter family comes up to Vernal for Easter and we have a blast!  The kids all love coloring easter eggs and of course the easter egg hunts they get to go on.....oh yea and of course the air soft wars for the boys and dads!

 Love these pics of Kelsey and Zack...I had a couple others where they are sitting the exact same way....so funny!  They are such good buds!

 We filled and hid over 300 eggs that made for 2 super fun hunts!

                                                                   

                                                                       Easter morning....

Happy 10th Anniversary!

                                    
For our 10 year anniversary we went up to Red Canyon Lodge and stayed in one of their cabins for the night....we left the kids home with grandma and grandpa of course ;)  It was a really nice cabin with an amazing view of the frozen lake surrounded by trees.  It snowed the entire time we were up there which made the view even better and made for a cozy get away. 

Happy Birthday!!! Jace turns 9!

 Jace wanted a football birthday party this year so thats what he got!  Easiest party ever!  They went outside and played football almost the entire time.  They only came in to play football bingo, to eat cake and ice cream and to give Jace his presents.  It was Jace's favorite birthday so far!  Happy Birthday Jace!  You are an amazing son!

Happy Birthday Justin!!!  He celebrated his 32nd birthday this year and is still as hot as ever!

Tyson got busted sneaking into the ice cream....it was quite funny!

Scouting with Jace

                                                                  Pinewood Derby
                                                                   January 2, 2013

This was the first Pinewood Derby for Jace and he loved it.  Jace and Zack both enjoyed making their own cars and getting to race against each other.

 

                                                            Blue and Gold Banquet
                                                                    February 2013

I am "lucky" enough to be the Cubmaster for our ward/pack.  We did a survival theme for our Blue & Gold Banquet which turned out really nice and super fun!  Jace also earned/received his Wolf badge award that night as well. 

                                                          What a handsome scout he is!

Christmas 2012

This year we had a really great Christmas and were able to spend it in Salt Lake with our families.

Part of our Christmas Eve traditions is reading and acting out the Nativity.

For our siblings gift we got 2 bags of T-Balls for my boys who LOVE baseball

Christmas morning looking for Santa gifts

Jace got MLB 2011 WII game and was obviously very excited to get it from Santa!

Zack has been wanting the Jake and the Neverland Pirates Bucky ship forever and was happy to finally get one from Santa

Tyson is really into Bob the Builder and anything to do with tools.  He got a drill tool set which still keeps him very busy!

Tyson was so tired!  The boys woke him up at 6:00 to open presents

Jace has wanted catchers gear for baseball FOREVER but it cost about $100 so I told there was no way he would get BUT I got it for an amazing deal at Walmart for only $15.00!  He was thrilled!

My boys all got nerf guns from Grandma and Grandpa Carter which they love!

Zack has really wanted a gumball machine so I found this one which was like the one I had when I was younger.  All my boys LOVE IT and getting a gumball is a great reward for doing their chores!

This was at Trent's house on Christmas day opening up sibling gifts--if you look close you can see Tyson asleep on Justin's lap.  Poor guy sat down and fell asleep almost instantly!
