• Elder Carter •

This is my little buddy. We have been friends since he was born and with our age differences between us and our other siblings its always been him and I together. We are known as the B Team in our family and we have always understood eachother and our "unique" qualities =)
This is my litte buddy just no longer little and now a missionary! He left July 8th to go to England to serve his mission. I am so proud of him and so sad to see him go. Braeden represents my childhood and watching him walk away from us at the airport made me realize my childhood was walking away and he would come home a man. I know he is going to be an amazing missionary because he speaks with his heart and has a pure love for people. I will miss him like crazy but would want him nowhere else.
I love you Braeden! Work, work, and smile. Loves.

♥ Paradise Point & Family ♥

I just want to start out by saying how blessed I am to have the family that I do. There is so much love and companionship between us all that it makes life a little easier to live knowing they are behind me. My little brother Braeden has been preparing to leave for his mission so all of my family came into town for all the events! We had an open house, a farewell, family pictures, a vacation, and Braeden being set apart as a missionary!! It was such a blessing to have us all together for it all and it was so much fun! After the open house and farewell we all packed up and left for Paradise Point!! This place is one of my favorite places in the whole world. One, because its beautiful and so fun. Two, we have soo many memories and great stories from here. And lastly, their Virgin Strawberry Daiquiris ... divine. We had so much fun playing around and being all together.
After our getaway, we came back up and took some family pictures. We don't have them yet but some of us took some pictures with our own cameras and these are a couple I thought were so sweet.
This is our Guy Guy as a Missionary!! Its so weird to see him all grown up but he looks good. (Excuse the crying faces) But yay for Elder Carter! We are so proud of him and we enjoyed every minute we got to spend as a family this week. Again, I feel so blessed.Missed you there Alts.

☼ Newest Toy... ☼

Our beloved Mr. Higgins had a birthday recently and he had his heart set on a gun. He looked around and did his research but couldn't find the perfect one. Shortly after, we were going to spend the day at an aquarium and the perfect gift hit us! Ta Da!! We got ourselves a camera! We both have always been interested in photography and Wance is a photoshop wiz so we are seeing what we can come up with. Through out the next couple weeks we took the camera around and played with it and see what it could do. Here are a few pictures... Thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions?
