Family News

Hi everyone,

How is everyone. We are doing good. Jared is working in Royal City and enjoying it. I am back in school and finally got my schedule fixed so that I am done at noon every day. Molly and Emily are back in school and were really excited to see all their friends. Timothy is also in preschool. I had a hard time with him going, but he loves it. The baby is moving a lot. I don't remember the other kids ever moving this much.

Molly-

I am back in school and love it. My teacher is really nice and cool. I am also taking piano and we are playing the recorder at school. I miss you guys.

Emily-

I love school. I am taking piano too. I miss you.

Timothy-

(Timothy is asleep right now, but we will get him later)

Jared, Becky, Molly, Emily, Timothy, and Baby

Tyler Blogs-

Uncle Jared I love Mysteries of the sith, because it works on Grandads computer.

My Talk for today is this:

Hi, if you don't know me I am Tyler Carter, I am from South Dakota, thats pretty far away.
Jesus died for us, he loved us so much, he wanted us to return to live with him. This was the ultimate act of service.
When you serve other people you are serving Him.
When you serve you are doing the right thing like Jesus did the right thing for us.
Service helps us to get to know the Savior.
In Matthew 5:13 it says "How knoweth a man the master whom he has not served?"
As we serve others, we find our spiritual selves and come unto Him.
I bare my testimony that service is the right thing to do live with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I know these things are true. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen

I love you all, bye

Zachary blogs:

I started soccer, but I haven't had a game yet. We got a LEGO Jabba the Hut's Sail Barg. We are still building it. There are a lot of pieces. Come visit please everybody. We just watched TMNT the movie. I love all of you goodbye.

McKayla blogs:

I love you all of you. I want to tell you about a sport. When I was playing basketball and soccer. For Basketball there were squirrels attacking. I have met probably ten friends. I have my own room in our new home. With a night light in it. We are watching movies tonight. I love you bye.

Tyler will blog tomorrow, because he doesn't know what to say right now.

A man in need

So life is great here for us in Provo. I hope you all got the email with the pictures. It was a lot of fun, so if Dusty is in the area you know what to do. The girls are just a blast, CJ is a fabulous wife and mother, and I'm keeping busy with the Seminary program. I'm teaching 9th graders this year in Spanish Fork (not only where dad was born but also the venue of our first date) and it's a lot of fun. The big boss man from Salt Lake is coming down to observe my class on Monday September 10th! So lots of prayers coming this way if you know what I'm saying!!!!!!!!!!! Am I nervous? No, I'm terrified. But all will go well and I'll feel better knowing that you guys are praying for us. Thanks a lot.

-Eric

Harry Potter Draft line-up

4. Jenny
5. Becky
6. Jared
7. Nick (I even bribed her and she didn't come through)

Rules: CJ starts out by picking a character who she believes is not going to survive the next book, and then Eric gets to pick from whomever is left and so on...and so on...

Most deaths = you win!

Jared Fam info

This quarter some people from the Math Ed department got a softball team together. We only won one game this year. I was only able to play in four games, because of Molly's softball. But it was fun to get out and play. Here are some pictures.

Becky is enjoying school, but is now getting sick in the mornings and is constantly hungry.

Molly is also enjoying school, and she is enjoying softball. She like to play catcher, where she gets to dress up in the pads.

Emily is in tee-ball and really enjoys it. She has also completed all her math EALRs for Kindergarten.

Tim is a terror who likes to play and eat. But he does not like to sleep.

The Kids and I have begun to read Harry Potter together and they are enjoying it.

That is about all from us.

Book Review

I finished reading a good book. It was by Orson Scott Card called "Empire" it is about a US civil war in current times. It was interesting, and a pretty good read. Warning, the language is PG13 (without the Fbomb).

I survived Commissioned Officer Training

Hey guys, COT is done, and now I am off to JASOC. Here are some pictures from COT. The last one was kind of a fraternity prank. (Yeah, its not Boot Camp). Anyway love you guys, Blog More!

I look so good in my blues they should give me incentive pay just to wear them.

Here are some of Brayden's B-dayPics. We went to Chuck-E-Chz. The kids had a great time. Brayden is getting so big and he is supposed to be our baby. (I couldn't quite break 400,000 in skeeball, 380,000 is still my top score.)

Thats Lt. Carter

Hey guys, I got sworn in today.

More Halloween

Here are the kids and their costumes and our pumpkin carving.

Halloween

Molly - I was dressed as a witch. We went to try and find my friend Emma. I asked her mom if Emma was there. She said no. After that we tried to look for her, but we could not find her. We also went to Boo Central. It was fun.

Emily - I liked it when Tim shared his balloon with me for the balloon race at Boo Central.

We also attended the Tri-ward Trunk or treat. Things are progressing for us. We hope they are for you and we wish you all Happy Holidays.

javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName("img"); DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+"px"; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+"px"}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(0);

Hope you like it.

Stationed at Delaware

Hey guys, news from Airforce. We are stationed on Dover Airforce base. It is 45min from Philly, 1 1/2 from Washington DC, and about 2 1/2 hours from NYC.

Looks like fun.

Moving

Hey I actually have a little time to get registered here. I guess you all have heard that we are back at Central. Jared is working on his Math endorsement and I am working on an Accounting degree. The girls are all enrolled in school here and are making new friends. We haven't decided what we are going to do with Tim. We have a class that conflicts everyday. I am hoping to get the number to the Relief Society President in our ward and see if anyone can help. Right now Tim is with my mom. I miss him a lot. Anyway, that is our update and I will be doing more of this now. Hope everyone is doing well.

Becky

Trip to mount rushmore

Hey guys wanted to share some pics. Thought the trip was somber because all of us weren't there.

And mom says I should say that it was the best family trip ever ;)

Happy Birthday Harry!

Happy Birthday Harry! We had a fun birthday party for Harry Potter. At our party we had butterbeer (yum!) and pumpkin pastries (yum!) while playing Harry Potter Scene it. These were our "decorations." We sure do know how to throw awesome parties! Also, we had to throw in this picture of Viana splashing in her first puddle. We love you all!

IT HAS BEGUN!!!

The Cars collection is underway and running!! And don't they look beautiful. We also got a Doc Hudson from a cereal box, but he would have thrown off "the groove" of the picture. We love Disney/Pixar, what can we say?! I'm sure you all noticed the tires (not seen in this picture) which sport the "LIGHTYEAR" logo, rather than "GOODYEAR". It's all about the respect. And we also had to throw in this cute pic of Viana doing laundry--You go girl!

I'm Working At Disneyland

Greetings Space Rangers:

You have received an intergalactic transmission from a friend who has just completed a mission on the new Buzz Lightyear Astro Blaster interactive experience at Disneyland® park in California.

Hey everyone. It’s me Ron. I just finished moving to Southern California again and started my new job at Disneyland. I was a little afraid at first. But the more I stayed, the more I realized this is where I need to be. And finally get started on my career.

The following is a picture of me and Emily on Buzz Lightyear Astro Blaster. As you can see, we had fun on this strip together. Anyway, wish me luck as I embark on new adventure in my life. I miss you guys already. Come visit me sometime.

To Infinity And Beyond!
