Carter, Ryan, and Dawson

Ryan and Daxen. I have to say that I am most sad about my little boy. He has no idea what happened and for these last couple of days whenever he wanted something or wanted to be held he yelled RY RY. The next time he goes to the house and yells for RY RY to come that is going to be the hardest thing ever!

Ryan left today to go to the MTC. We went to lunch at Sizzler where he was able to be with our family. It was amazing to watch Ryan as he sat there only thinking of what he was going to be doing for the next two years of his life. After lunch a couple family members went to drop him off at the MTC. It was quick hugs and goodbyes as we watched him walk away with another missionary who would show him the ropes. Not anything like the first time when we went with Jason. I just couldn't believe that this day had come. My little brother is going to make a great missionary and is going to touch so many people. These last couple of weeks I have been able to spend a lot of time with Ryan and just be with him. He has grown up into a great young man and will continue to grow every day. I have had mixed emotions of fighting back tears and beaming inside for my little brother who has made one of the biggest decisions in life.

These three little boys are going to miss him like CRAZY!

Valentine's Day

Saturday - We started the day by going shopping for each others valentines presents. Daxen got a toy and Stevie and I got clothes. After that we had my family come up and join us. It was my turn to plan Valentines this year so I decided to go to the Classic Fun Center in Sandy. It consisted of a roller skating rink (Which none of us did because we all would have fallen on our faces), laser tag (played four times), dime arcade (Won over 1500 tickets, Thanks to Amy for winning 1000 on one game), jungle gym, blow up toys, and a blast zone where you got to shoot balls at one another and it had the biggest slide I have ever gone down in my life. It was a great day and everyone was able to be there! After that we went to TGI Fridays for dinner! YUM! I love that place. We had a great time of sitting around and just talking with one another! We ended up going home after that. We had my cousin Lexi watch Daxen for us while we went and had our fun. I told her that his bed time was around 8:30. My Mom and Dad took her home for us because it was on their way home. She continued to tell them that he was good and that he had a really hard time going to sleep though and she didn't know why. My Mom asked her well when did you put him to sleep and she said 8:50. But little did she know it was 8:50 at the moment she had said that. As you can tell the time got a little mixed up thanks to us being lazy and not changing the time on our clock above our TV. It is an hour ahead of the real time. So in fact he was going to sleep at 7:50 instead of 8:50. He was awake at 6 the next morning! :) I thought it was pretty funny because we did not know this until the day after!

Sunday - We woke up to go to church at 8 in the morning. Followed by us getting home and realizing that Stevie grabbed the wrong keys that did not have our house key on it so we were locked out. (I was not very happy). However we did end up going to Jason and Amy's to grab a ladder to climb on our back porch to open the sliding door. I am sure glad that it was unlocked because I did not want to pay a lock smith. After that long process we were invited by Jason and Amy to have steak and chicken at their house and watch all of the basketball competitions. For dessert we ended up having our famous 8 minute cake:) It is the best thing ever! Thanks Amy and Jason for a fun night.

Sorry there are no pictures. I forgot my camera which never happens so I was very sad!

The Manti Temple

This last Saturday we had the opportunity of going to the temple with my brother Ryan. It was such a great experience. I cannot believe that in two and a half weeks my brother will be going to Texas. He isn't my little brother anymore and it is kind of scary. We all know that he is going to make a great missionary and we love him!

PICTURES OF RYAN AND DAXEN

While taking Ryan's missionary pictures Daxen wanted a little of the action as well! He was following Ryan everywhere doing the same things he did! We are so proud of Ryan and for the choices he has made, he is going to make a great missionary and we are going to miss him!

These next two pictures where the main reason Daxen was in an outfit. To show a little boy growing up to be a missionary! I am excited to do if for Daxen when he goes on a mission!

14 days of Valentines

I decorated Stevie's office today for Valentines. Each heart as a reason why I love him in it! He is the best husband ever and I love him so much:)
