Girls Camp-Call for Courage

Another great year at camp! I just continue to love these girls more and more everytime I am with them. We had wind, we had sun, we had rain, we had snow and we definitely had FUN!!! Thank you to my amazing leaders and friends who made this such a memorable week. I did get 5 bad rope burns on my hands and a bad sore throat and cough but it was worth it!!!

LOVE YOU TO PIECES 9TH WARD!!! You are definitely courageous!!!

I LIVE IN THE GREATEST NEIGHBORHOOD!!!!

Ok let's face it! I live in the greatest neightborhood and everyone that reads this is going to agree with me. WHY??? Because the only people that read my blog are my neighbors. We know how to have a good time and we all get along fantastically!!! Hillary and Kim threw a great party for all the kids!

Where else can you try to see how many kids you can fit on a trampoline?
Where else can you cheer on the kids in an exciting game of speed? (Courtnie you ROCKED!)
Where else can you play with 4 of your BFF's for 5 hours and not get sick of each other?
Where else can you have jumping contests with the neighborhood boys?

Where else can you eat smores, marshmallow cookies, brownies and cupcakes and your mom doesn't even tell you to STOP?

Where else can you slide on a huge slip-n-slide in the freezing weather but that doesn't bother you because you are still having the time of your life?
So really where can you do all these great things? I'll tell you...in my neighborhood and I LOVE IT!!! Thanks everyone (and you know who you are) for making this such a fun place. P.S. Can't wait for the food fight!

Happy 9th Birthday Courtnie!!

This is a test and only a test! (I am trying to see if anyone really reads this blog. It has been months since I last blogged, 5 months to be exact.) So what better way to see if anyone even cares if the Carters blog is to give out a shout out to the cutest 9 year old in our family.

This is what she wanted for breakfast. Scrambled eggs with syrup poured all over them and oreo cookies. A breakfast of champions!

Small little gathering, we made Hannah Montana bags, watched Princess and the Frog, ate pizza and played a game of hide and seek in the house.

I love you Courtnie!!
