January Birthdays

I was thinking that it would be nice to remember everyones birthday with a special blog each month that someone has a birthday. This way if you have any special memories of that person you can blog on here and they can look and see how special they are to you.

Lance Crawford Carter was born January 9, 1981. It is hard to believe he is 29 years old. Time has flown so fast. I met Lance when he was 3 1/2 years old. He was a chubby fellow who sure liked to be with his dad. I'm sure this was a difficult time in Lances life for adjusting to a new family with Mary (me) as a new parent and two smaller "brothers" to get along with. Bryce has always been Lances constant companion in all there travels as children. Lance was usually really quiet in school so one day when I went to parent teacher conference I was so glad when the teacher said Lance was quite talkative and needed to be a little quieter in class. What a relief to know that he could finally express himself in class.

Lance is certainly no longer the shy guy but has children now that are. Kids are a wonderful tools to help us learn and grow and Lance has certainly taught me a lot about parenting.

Stephanie Geraldean Undhjem Carter was born January 19, 1990. She came into our family by way of Jeremy dating her in the winter of 2006 in Logan Utah. She has a quiet disposition and tries to get along with everyone. I think Stephanie has quite a zest for life. She isn't afraid to try anything. Her parents gave her experiences in skiing, boating, shooting, kung foo (with her black belt) and numerous other encounters throughout her life. I know she loves Jeremy and Alexis and takes good care of them. We are so glad to have Stephanie be a part of our family!
