Carter Family Photo Shoot 2010

Keagan's got the most amazing spirit. I love to see his expressions.

This is a very common expression found on this little Imp's face. Jaeden we love your spunkyness!

Zachary, our monkey in the tree. This picture pretty much sums this kido up.

Dakota, my baby boy all grown up, It's hard to imagine he's starting high school in only a couple of months!

The Carter Boys, or as Clair always says "Those naughty Carter Boys"

Dakota James Carter

Zachary Aron Carter

Jaeden Tyler Gene Carter

Keagan Mikal Carter

Look at that adorable face.

Such a handsome young man.

A quiet moment with Zach.

Keagan's amazement with our world is pure joy to watch

This Tree was beautiful, hosted the Carter boys perfectly.

I wasn't kidding when I stated my boys are part monkey.

That smile just never comes out!

Quick capture that beautiful rare smile!

Keagan has a fondness for flowers, I am so grateful we were able to capture this one!

Surfer boy Zach!

The Babies of our family!

He's sooo adorable!

It is not easy to get ALL of the Carter boys to smile.

My sister was such a great helper, she loves chasing after this little bundle of energy.

I love you my darling little sis.

The First Carter Fourth Of July BBQ

We had the first ever Carter Fourth of July BBQ at our house this year. We invited friends and family. We all had a wonderful time. We took lots of pictures, ate lots of wonderful food and the fireworks went on well into the night. We love our neighbors, they make living on our street a bigger blessing. Heavenly Father really knew what he was doing when he placed us in this home we have come to love. Thank you to everyone who came and shared this family memory with us. We love each of you dearly.

I think the reactions were all pretty much the same... What caused this you ask?

Why it was uncle Jimmy who was so lucky to have Richard give him duck tape!

He also blew up a pop can, and several other items. I think it is safe to say next year the kids "adult males" Do not get to have duck tape!

I love this picture of Emily she has got to be considering her next craft project!

The bluebabe girls loved helping daddy light the fire works!

It's not often we get a good picture of Jaeden, he's usually being camera shy Not so this fourth! I love those eyes of his so full of life and mischief!

Catching brotherly love is just as hard, this evening they all got along!

We enjoyed having Zachary's friend Zach Wolfe over, he entertained our Zach until four am!

So Emily is not the only creative one in her family, you see Richard also loves to be creative..only his ideas catch fire! What was that Rich? The box wont what!? My boys sure got a kick out of watching Richard at play.

We all think Brother Stein would make a great nanny! The children loved to play with him.

Then again.... Just teasing! He's so cute with the kids how could we not resist!

Sparkling Vampires!? Just kidding, you can't really see it but that's just a sparkling brother Myer! Thanks for sharing your fourth with us!

We got a tone of pictures we wanted to share, so maybe we will had a photo album so we don't take up too much space.

Tadaaa! Thats it folks thanks for sharing the Fourth with us! We all had so much fun!

Our little Monkey turns 3!

Dakota Taught Keagan to show his "age" By doing the Ok sign.. smart boys!

Kegan Loves his Monster Cake!

Happy Birthday To Our Little Monkey.




Three years ago yesterday I was shopping at Walmart getting last minuet things for our forth of July party. Keagan wasn't due for another two weeks. He sure must have wanted to join us because my water broke while shopping. Being the planner that I am I continue through the check out and made my poor sister wait til the entire order was checked out. The poor cashier thought I was going to have the baby right at her stand lol. The next few hours were spent in labor and driving to Corvallis because I refused to have my baby at any other hospital! My poor sister was sure the baby would be born in her car, to her dismay I even made her stop and get food because I knew the nurses wouldn't allow me to eat until he was born. Finally arriving at the hospital around nine pm Keagan Mikal Carter was born the next morning at six am. He's been a joy in our lives ever since. We love you Keagy!
