Halloween in Provo-Dreams came true

We had the best Halloween!! I'll let the pictures do the talking!

(Hopefully you true Disney Carter's recognize me as Buzz Lightyear and Viana as Mira Nova from Buzz Lightyear of Star Command (the blue face and red hair should be a give away))

Happy Haunting

We had a fantastic night at a community Halloween carnival. It was so much fun seeing Viana enjoying and participating in one of our favorite holidays. It brought tears to my eyes just thinking of it. And to make it even better, they had a Harry Potter room. Check out this cool stuff and the sorting hat sorted Viana into GRYFFINDOR!! We were so proud! And Brooke got in on the Acromantula action as well. Good times had by all. Viana's definite favorite was the cake walk. Check it out!

This is Tom Riddle's grave being visited by acromantulas

Here's CJ as Ginny Weasley at the Whomping Willow, with a FLYING CAR and Viana in a cute tutu with fairy wings.

Here's all the publicity that we got for winning the grand prize of the photo contest.

We have new beach portraits!

Hey gang, things are going well in Delaware. Preparing for the move and Halloween, we took the other day before it got too cold to sneak down to the beach for some photo shooting. This is one of our favorites, we will be putting more up shortly. Hope all is well.

Happy Birthday Jared

Happy Birthday Buddy

Grandma. Molly, Emily, and Timmy

General Conference

Saturday Afternoon (the second since they all are afternoon over here) Seemed to have a good thing of we are mormons and this is what we beli8eve, and we it is correct. Loved it

Priesthood was great, the only problem was that I wasn;t there singing with my dad in the choir. But four time zones will do that. Oh, yeah Pres hinckley called me a fool.

Sunday- How Firm A Foundation "AMAZING" blew me away. Elder Oaks, laid it down. His talk was amazing.

So, what did you think?

Oh How Happy We Make Someone

Grandma spent our happy day working for her co-worker Kathy so Kathy could have the day off. I'll bet Kathy was happy. Granddad wrote checks for his helpers at work. One of them noted that the raise she had gotten last pay period wasn't reflected on the current paycheck. When Granddad had noted the error, still unsure how, he had written a new check for the corrected amount. Now whether doing the payroll, which always makes the employees happy, and which is needed, really constitutes what Zachary intended in doing something for someone to make them happy, I'll let him judge. Please be kind.

Our Happy day

We had a good Happy Day. Nick actually got off of work on time. Zach invited his friend Connor over to have cupcakes to make him happy. We all played Disney Scene-it as a family to make everybody happy.

Happy Day!

We had a very HAPPY happy day!! Viana decided that she wanted to make her friend Lucy happy. Viana knew that Lucy LOVES rolling down grass hills, so we invited Lucy to come rolling with us. It made Lucy and Viana so happy!!

Then CJ decided to make her associate and Friend Anne happy. CJ knew that Anne was reading the Twilight book series and was ready to read the third book "Eclipse" So CJ brought Anne that book to borrow. CJ also knew that Anne's favorite ice cream was Ben and Jerry's Mint Choloclate Cookie, so CJ brought Anne a pint of that. Anne was SO HAPPY about that suprise!

Eric decided to make our best friend BJ happy...especially since he moved to Florida all by himself and is having a real-life adjustment. BJ wanted Eric to buy the new Foo Fighter album so that Eric could listen to it and talk to BJ about how awesome it is. He also left a note for a seminary student and it made her really happy!

Baby Brooke decided to make everyone she knows happy by just being adorable..and of course it worked!!!

We loved Happy Day! Thanks Zachary for creating the best holiday ever!

Zachary Declares Monday Oct 1st as Happy Day!

Zachary wanted to create his own holiday, and declares October 1st to be Happy Day. The first Happy Day will be celebrated Monday October 1st 2007. Zachary says that on Happy Day, you have to do something that makes somebody else happy. Zachary would also like to see pictures of what everyboday did on Happy Day. :)

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

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.
