Happy Halloween

Michael sold so many cookies for his school fund raiser, that he was invited to enter the Money Machine and try to catch money. He was so excited! He even asked Jake to pray for him at breakfast so that he could do well.

Not too bad! $6 and a free taco in 10 seconds. He was pretty happy with that.

Happy Halloween!!

Friday Michael wore his Jedi costume to school and Jake wore Robin. They wanted to dress up Jared, so we tried on the Devil costume.

So Cute!!

Saturday was rainy. We made a quick trick to the Trunk or Treat.

We had 30 min without rain and then it started coming down again.

It stopped about 6:30, so Todd was able to take the boys to some houses.

I was a princess with my Dragon

Unhappy until he tasted it. . .
He tasted it and then grabbed the whole thing

Opening Gifts

And then the final gift was from Todd and I.

Here it is. . . .

Yup. That's right, Jared is going to be a Big Brother.

We are expecting #4.

Due April 14, 2011.
It was quite a surprise, but we are excited about our new addition.

Are they Brothers?

Just looking at pictures of the boys today. I've never thought Michael and Jake looked much alike. You can definately tell they belong to Todd and I, but I don't know if people would pick them out as brothers. However, after looking at photos today, I definately think Jared ties them together or is a mix of both. What do you think??

Happy Birthday Jared!!

Jared was born 1 year ago. I can't believe it. Here is a look back to see how he has changed.

His Birthday 2010!!

Opening his first present!
This in the 1st wrapped present he has ever opened. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Carter. If you listen close, Michael wants to know if it's a hampster. What!!

It was pretty funny to watch.

What have we been doing?

I feel like we have been busy, but I don't have a lot of photos to show for it.

Michael played soccer again. He even scored this year. Much more focused than last year, but still room for improvement :-)

My youngest brother Ryan was Married

Our Family

Todd was called to serve on the Stake High Council. He was ordained and set apart on the 17th. He then followed by giving his 1st talk in the 7th Ward.
Well done Todd!


Michael is now in wrestling again, which he loves. He is doing very well in kindergartern. Jake is in pre-school with Ms. Ari and Loves It! He is often upset on the days we take Michael to school and he doesn't get to go.

This week I took my 1st visit to the ER for Kidney stones. Worst Pain of my life!! Had another attack Thurs. night, but not as bad, luckily! Trudy came and stayed Monday and then my mom came Wed for a few days. It sure is nice to be taken care of once in a while.
