Carter's first decade....almost

Tonight we celebrated Carter's first full decade as part of our family! Carter is a sweet boy with a big heart. He puts up with lots of teasing thanks to 3 sisters, but considering all, he handles it pretty well. Carter is learning from his Dad's sense of humor....he recently made up his own joke... "Hey mom...do you know what the best day to steal something is?" "No, what day?" "Steel Days!" (If you didn't know, Steel Days is the name of our AF city celebration). Carter was really proud of that one! Just tonight I realized that Carter is the one who sneaks quietly out of bed after Jace falls asleep and turns off Jace's ipod so his batteries won't be dead in the morning. Such a good brother. I found this picture of Carter taken 3 years ago...not much has changed since then. He's lost a few more teeth, grown in some bigger teeth, grown a couple of inches upward...but the silliness and kind heart inside are just the same! Love you Carter boy!

I'm pretty sure Carter has been in a BYU hat for every one of his parties!

Homemade gifts from Lady & Jace, complete with plastic bags filled with treasures.

I don't know...do ya think he's excited about the cash?

Grandma & Papa supplied him with a new fishing pole for backpacking...
we'll break it in this weekend at Payson Lakes.

The big day is really on August 1st.
We'll be camping with the Argyle clan,
so we'll have to do a little more celebrating then.
Hope the wishes he made come true!
