18 days...

and counting till our 17 year anniversary!! Today it's about family and friends. John and I are so blessed and always and still do have the love and support of our family and friends...

This next picture is pretty special to me...it's of our parents, grandparents, and great grandma...

Back - left to right - Grandpa Fillmore, Great Grandma Carter - she turned 97 this year , Grandma Carter, Grandpa Carter, and Dad.

And next my best friends. I love these guys. Now we all (or soon will) have families of our own. We have so much fun together and have added two other wonderful brother-in-laws and a wonderful sister-in-law. I love you all.
Stephanie, me, Blake, and Mandie...

So excited...18 days to go!! Hannah served at her achievement day leaders wedding reception. She looked so cute and grown-up, we snapped a few pictures....


Before I know it we'll be snappin' her bridal pictures. But we still have too many fun things to do and look forward too (and fight about)! Took the girls swimming today at the local pool and the boys went golfing with some friends and rented a driving cart so they had alot of fun on that. Justin came home and went fishing with some friends and Jace had baseball practice. He has one more All-star tournament in Soda Springs this Friday and Saturday then we are officially done with that. It's been fun, but long. Well it's late and I already had to re-type this once cause I hit a button and erased it all. So thankful for...1) our little local swimming pool 2) ibuprofen - I don't know if it's the heat, the kids, or both, but I end up with a headache at least once a day 3) my little chicks...even though they may be the cause of my headaches :0)
