Happy Birthday, Karter!

Karter turned 10 on June 1st and had a great birthday. He is such an amazing kid. When I gave birth to the little guy who was trying to come into this world backwards 10 years ago, I had no idea what a blessing he would be in my life.

Karter is very intelligent, inquisitive, mature, responsible, a total rule follower, and quite funny. He has big dreams and wants to be a doctor someday.

Karter is also very spiritual and takes his religion to heart and tries to live his life according to the principles, values and standards we have instilled in him, and he keeps the rest of us on the right track as well. He is a wonderful public speaker as well. He has been asked to give several talks in church for the whole congregation and he does an excellent job, but he also brings a special spirit into the meeting when he wholeheartedly bears his testimony and tells how much he loves his family and Jesus Christ. Being a future missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a huge part of who he is. He is also a great big brother and helps out with his siblings alot and never misses Ally's ball games.

Karter loves sports of any kind, riding his bike, reading, camping, hunting, fishing and being in the mountains. He is very careful, conscientious, respectful, and adventuresome. He also values his friends quite a bit and is a true friend who watches out for his buddies and their needs.

Karter works hard around our house and is the #1 helper inside and out. He's got his own chores to do everyday, he feeds the pigs and the, rabbits, but he never complains about doing laundry, helping me clean house or cleaning up the yard and mowing the lawn. Here he is with this year's pigs for 4-H and the Duchesne County Fair.

He's also playing baseball on a travelling team this summer so we'll be hitting alot of tournaments and having fun chasing him around the state playing ball. I love every ounce of this child and if I could be guaranteed another 10 just like him, I'd have 10 more. Everyone needs a Karter.
