We are just living the life with our family of five! Carter and Savannah bring us great joy each day, and we're so excited to have Sadie with us now. Mike stays busy being a perfect husband and dad, and Christina has slowed down her work load drastically to be with the kids. We are so blessed and are excited to share our memorable moments.
Videos! It's been awhile since we've showed some of the cute things Carter does so enjoy! (p.s. Carter now has 6 teeth! He just had 2 more on top break through. His two week older cousin, Jared, still is gums only.)

Happy Birthday Cheri!!!
Cheri turned her favorite number, 52today! Angela and Steve were sweet enough to host the party at their place where we had yummy pizza to eat. Cheri had an unusal request for a birthday "cake" She wanted a custard pie, which is her all time favorite. So Christina took a chance and made custard pies for the first time. Cheri said they turned out good so that is all that matters.
Cheri does so much for us and we're so grateful to have her close by. Carter absolutely adores his Grandma, and we love to see their relationship grow.

Finally! The wedding day of our best friends Kelly & James finally arrived, and it was absolutely beautiful! We were able to be with them throughout the whole day and it was a perfect day. The weather was gorgeous and all the little stuff like the luncheon and reception went extremely well.
Kelly's Brothers
Cut's Etc. girls
Kelly looked absolutely angelic and we were so happy that we could share this special day with her. Kelly watches Carter every Tuesday so they were excited to see him, but Carter had just got super sick that day so he wasn't his happy self. We had to just snap a picture and hope for the best so sorry that these aren't the greatest quality.
There was actually another wedding and reception of one of our good friends' brothers, so it was fun to run into people we don't get to see enough. We are just so excited that they were able to be sealed in the temple. They are a great example to us and so many other people.

It's official! Dan & Analise are engaged to be married!! June 6th is the date in the new Draper temple, and we are so excited! Analise is super awesome and fun, and Carter absolutely adores her. It is so fun to see Dan so happy and giddy. We hope that the time will fly by.
Dan popped the question after going to places they had been on their first date, Barnes & Noble and Taifoon. There were a dozen beautiful roses at dinner, and then afterward by the fountain and after Analise read a beautiful card from Dan he asked her marry him! Super sweet story, but to get more details check out their website: analiseanddanjenson.com/Welcome.html

Carter usually falls asleep pretty good. We snuggle with him until he gets tired and then put him in his crib and he takes it from there, usually without crying. So if he does cry at night we just let him cry for 10 or so minutes and that's usually all it takes. Well, as we told you last week he started pulling himself up in his crib so we can tell when he's standing up and crying and when he gets tired and sits down. Last night was a crying night and we could tell he was standing up for awhile. Then at exactly 10 minutes he stopped. Christina went in a few minutes later to check on him and this is how he had fallen asleep. Face down and holding on to the railing. So sad yet so funny!
