Nate Leaves

Well Nate left today. It was a pretty rough day. I know some people think I'm being a baby. But I've gotten really close to Nate and I'm just going to miss him. Of course when we were all saying bye we were all crying. Nate did find a way to make us laugh. At lunch we were joking that you can tell who the new missionaries are cuz they look like a dear in head lights. He was pulling faces to show us what he meant. But after he said bye to all of us he looked back as he was walking off and gave us that look. We all laughed a little. It was so Nate. I'm so proud of him and he's going to do a great job. Love Ya Nate!

Doesn't he look so cute with his name tag!!

Nate's Farewell

Nates farewell was really good. We are always joking around with Nate. So in church when he spoke I was very impressed. He sounded so mature and so ready to serve a mission. He did so good. I'm so pround of him. Tonz of people came to. And of course a bunch a girls. It was a really fun day. But of course there was a lot of tears.

I had been trying to get a cute pic of Nate and Carter for like a week or 2. Every time I try this is what happens. Nate thought it'd be funny to pretend like Carter was crying cuz he was going to miss Nate so much. So Nate pretended he was crying cuz he was going to miss him to.

The night Nate got set apart I finally got a good pic of Carter and him! That was the last night Carter and Nate saw each other. It was way sad for me to have Nate say bye to Carter. Carter doesn.t get it of course. He loves Nate so much!

Hanging Out With Nate Before He Leaves

Since it was Nate's last night of Monday night fooball for 2 years we thoght we'd make it fun. Koji, Dan, Sarah and Matt all came over. Sarah and Matt gave Nate this sweet helmet. He was laughing when he saw it. He loved it!

Cater loved it too!

Joel and Nate usually make steaks when he comes over so Joel got him a 35oz steak. It was huge! Matt said he'd give him $10 if he ate it all. Nate got really close but couldn't do it. It was a really fun night!

The Sat before Nate left Becca, Phil, Matt and Nate came over and hung-out. So of course we got out Rock Band. Everyone got into it. It was way fun!

The pictures of us playing Rock Band never shows how much fun we have!

A couple weekends ago we went up to the cabin with some friends. Which we did a bunch this summer. But with Nate leaving soon we invited him to. I was glad we did cuz it gave him a chance to go up there one more time. Plus it also gave us a chance to hang-out with him! We had a lot of fun playing games and as you can see making s'mores!

Nate was funny he needed a jacket so he went into my parents closet at the cabin and came out with one of my mom's really old, dated jacket. Everyone thought it was funny!

The Last 6 to 7 months

I figured since I just started blogging I would put in a bunch of stuff that has happened over the last 6 or 7 months so everyone has something to look at! So here ya go!


For July 4th we went up to my family cabin for the weekend. They have lots of fun stuff at the park like the "big big slide" as Carter called it. And the race that Becca and I got killed in by all the little kids. Carter loved the fireworks this year too!


















Carter got his 1st haircut!! I know, he's like his mom and doesnn't have much hair so it took till he was 2 to have enough hair to cut. He was awesome though. I think cuz he see's me working on other people so he was excited to get his turn.

We didn't miss one Boston game during the playoffs since that's Joel's team. But it was so cute cuz when the game would get close Joel would get nervous and stand up. So Carter would go over by him and stand there with them. My men are so cute! Joel was pretty stoaked when Boston won!!!!

Carter is 2!! On his birthday (may 6th) we took him to the Hill Air Force Museum cuz he loves planes. He kept saying "pwane, pwane!" It was fun!

For his birthday Joel and I got him a little four wheeler. It was so funny cuz when he pushed the button to go, he hadn't learned how to turn yet so he kept running into everything.

Back in April we went to Disneyworld. It was way fun. Carter loved seeing all the characters. He ran right up to the little einsteins. Just like they were his best friends.
