What do you do when your sixteen year old doesn't like cake, pie, cookies or anyother dessert for his birthday party? You bake giant breadsticks in the shape of 16.
Carter celebrated his sixteenth birthday yesterday. Watch out ladies, he can officially date now. Just one thing may be putting that on hold, and that is the lack of a drivers license. Due to his basketball schedule, he has been unable to take drivers ed, which is offered in the evenings and conflicts with practice and games. Bummer.
Ok, so Carter's brothers look a little dopey in this picture, and no Larry isn't Carter's secret service agent with an earpiece. It just so happened that Carter's birthday coincided with the BYU game and Larry needed to keep himself and Carter updated. Thanks Jimmer, for scoring all of those points for Cart's big day. 
Being Carter's mom has been an amazing experience. He has always been a very responsible, rule abiding kid. He develops a keen interest in many things and when he does, he becomes an expert in it. He has always been an avid reader and would plow through books like Harry Potter as early as 1st grade. As he's gotten into sports the last couple of years, that constant desire to read has been focused on books about sports figures and the history of basketball and football. This has created a desire in him to become a sports broadcaster some day. He's intense, focused, and extremely bright. I love to talk to him and am always amazed at his perceptions, insight, and wisdom at such a young age. It's been exciting watching him grow from a little boy into a wonderful young man. Happy 16th Birthday, Carter.

Happy birthday, Carter. We tried to reach you yesterday after the ballgame to bestow a musical treat on you. Nothing could top that amazing Jimmer Fredette show, however. I remember when Carter was born like it was yesterday. He holds a special place in our hearts. Sixteen looks good on him. Thanks for being such a great role model, Carter. We love you.
Happy Birthday Cater! You are awesome.
What a celebration! I don't understand the lack of cake, pie or cookies- but the breadsticks look great!
Hope you got Jimmy's birthday e-mail. It was written with much love:)
We sure think Carter's a good man. Thanks for being a great example for our boys!

I remember being so excited for Carter to be born, maybe because we had a boy on the way--I'm not sure. However; I am sure I changed his diaper at least once, because I learned you have to duck and cover with boys!! Thanks for the life lesson Carter!
Hi Katie! I keep forgetting to tell you that I went back to the library and couldn't find Chase's scriptures, they were gone. I don't know if someone was using them that Sunday or what, but they weren't there. I've not been at our building lately because we are having ward conferences, but as soon as we get back to our building I will check again, okay? We have conferences through the end of February. Hope you are enjoying your new home! I can't believe how big Carter is getting! All of your kids are adorable!!
