And the Birthdays are. . .

Jeremy Rulon Carter was born on October 4, 1985. He was named after me and Jeff and also his Grampa Rulon Hughes, Jeff's grampa on his mothers side. Can you believe he is 25!? Wowza!!! Jeremy is working on his Masters of the Universe degree at the U in SLC. Oh, I mean his Masters in Finance. :)

Ezra Nicholas Carter born to Jacob and Ashley on the 14th of October, 2009. He is the last of the grandkids, for now. Unless any of you have any news for us. He is a redhead and a cute little boy. I'm sure he brings lots of joy into his home.

Happy Birthday, Boys!!!!

And by the way, Gramma Lois won the prize! A trip with her favorite children to Disneyworld!!! Wahooooo! (Jake forgot his own son in the list of birthdays :().

Halloweeeeen?

I know this is a bit early, but hopefully it will get everyone to think "Oh I should blog, again". Does anyone know whose birthday is next? Think October. Write in your thoughts and someone will win a prize for the correct guess. Hmmmm, what could the prize be? A cruise, a weekend for two, ......?

Today is such a Special Day...

It's Birthday time again.....Happy Birthday to YOU!!!!

Daniel James Carter born Sept. 7, 1988. Wow 22! One of Dan's favorite pastimes is to go camping and fishing. Of course he likes to go, go, go. We are so glad you are a part of our family, Dan!

Gene Richard Bell, aka mary's dad. He is the one sitting 'cause he just caught that whopper Lumberjack. Born Sept. 14th ???? Now when you are this old it is questionable whether I should say how old. But then again it is remarkable to make it to this age right! 1938 was the year my dad was born. Thank goodness for my parents otherwise I and you kids wouldn't be here!

Happy Birthday to YOU!!!!, (again) ;-)

Is it August already?

Preston Carter born the 17th of August will be 6 years old. Two years ago we went to D.C. and everyone found out how much money in ones they are worth for the height they were. As you can see Preston was almost a million dollars then. I bet he is worth more than 1.5 million today!
Happy Birthday Preston!


Carina Hymas Carter was born the 18th of August. Does that mean that Preston is a day older than his aunt Carina? Hmmm. As you can see we need to find my newer pictures in this computer because that baby is Daisy. Happy Birthday Carina!
Let's all call these wonderful family members and sing out of key so they will have a laugh on there special day.
We love you two!!!!

July Birthdays

Okay so this month will be in better order for the birthdays. Jeffrey Bryce Carter was born on July 7th, 1978. Wow that was a really long time ago, just ask his kids! This is such a great picture of Bryce getting his doctoral diploma in dentistry. Way to go Bryce! Happy 32!

Christoffer Stephen Carter was born on July 15th, 1982. Wow that was a long time ago, too. I can't believe that I'm old enough to have such old kids.

Time has flown by so fast and will only get going even faster as we head into the future. I'm so glad that these two wonderful fathers are a part of our family!

Belated Birthdays

Of course I am still having problems getting the blog in the right order, too. Oh well, at least I try, right? So we will go backwards with Madison, born to Bryce and Amy on June 25th, 2002. WOW, that makes her eight years old this year and that is something special. Madison will be baptized on thursday July 15th, her Uncle Chris' birthday. Way to go Maddy Moooooo!!!


























Jeff of course was born on the 16th of June 1955. The oldest of 5 children born to Kyle Ross Carter and Eva Lois Hughes. He still swears he is only 39 years old and has anniversaries now instead of birthdays.

I am so sorry to have missed the June birthdays:( I tried and tried to get a picture of Taryn off the email and can't. So this picture will have to do. Taryn was born on the 15th of June 2007 to Jake and Ashley. She is quite the talker and can tell you anything and everything in just a matter of minutes on the phone. Wait 'til she's a teenager and those quick bursts of speech will be very long on the phone!!!

Love to all the June Partiers

Phonebooks?

I thought I should blog on this so Jeff and Dan can say next year "remember!?" Well, last week I was perusing the want adds, as I usually do every day, and I saw this add "Need people to deliver phone books locally". I thought I could do that and so could Dan, and hopefully Jeff will help us with his muscles. So I called and they told us to come to a meeting the next day, thursday, at 1 and they would get us started. How exciting to get a job the next day where you don't wait for weeks and then do a background check, take pictures of drivers license, s.s. cards, etc... So we went to the meeting and signed up for three routes 'cause there were three of us there. Then they had Jeff pull the pickup around and loaded a full pallet and filled the back with loose bundles of books in the back seat and Dans car was fully loaded. Then the guy says that is a little over half of what you will need. I wish I had taken a picture! It was incredible how many phone books that pickup could hold. So we drive slowly home. The guy told us a pallet weighs about 1800 pounds. In total we had about 3 1/2 pallets to deliver! I'll make this a short story 'cause it was hard brain work. We had to find the address' and deliver all these books. The sad thing was they put the address' in alphabetical order. What town in the U.S. does there streets in alphabetical order? For petes sake!


When we did the rural route in St. Anthony, which I thought was a city route, we came across some of the most dumpiest places on earth. What a dump! UGGGHHH! We kept thinking of Jeremy saying I just need a little trailer from the '70's and we'll be fine. Well, Jeremy you will see these the next time you come for a visit. My Goodness!

Here is a great site to go to in case you get one of these phone books and aren't sure what to do with it: http:www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pGvEGFkvNs


Well, until the next blog. :-)
