JESSE AND I ARE SO PROUD OF TEAGEN. I HAVE TO SAY I WAS A BITE FRUSTRATED AND OVERWHELEMED BY THE ALL HOMEWORK TEAGENS SCHOOL WAS SENDING HOME. JESSE AND I HAD TO ASK OUR SELVES IS ALL OF THIS HOMEWORK REALLY GOOD FOR TEAGEN. OUR CONCERN WAS TEAGEN HAVING SO MUCH HOMEWORK WOULD MAKE HIM REALLY NOT LIKE SCHOOL. WE DIDNT WANT HIM TO HAVE A BAD EXPERIENCE AND HATE SCHOOL. WE WENT TO HIS PARENT TEACHER CONFRENCE TONIGHT AND ALL THE STRUGGELS AND TOUGH TIMES WERE WORTH IT. TEAGEN IS LEARNING SO MUCH AND HIS FACE BEAMED WHEN HE HEARD ALL OF HIS PROGRESS. HIS SCHOOL IS KIND OF A MIXED BLESSING, THEY ARE PUSHED SO HARD BUT IN THE END HE IS GOING TO HAVE AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE AND EDUCATION.

2011-03-23T14:15:00.000-07:00

JACKSON AND TEAGEN LOVE EACHOTHER SO MUCH! JACKSON WAS HAPPY WATCHING CARTOONS ON THE BED AS LONG AS TEAGEN WAS THERE. TEAGEN LEFT TO GET A DRINK BUT JACKSON WAS HAVING NONE OF THAT!

WE HAD A PRETTY GOOD YEAR BUT NOT WITHOUT TRIALS. JESSES SISTER AND BROTHER IN LAW LOST THERE BABY WHEN SHE WAS ABOUT SEVEN MONTHS ALONG. IT WAS ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS TO WATCH SOMEONE YOU LOVE SO MUCH GO THROUGH THAT.WE TRAVELED TO BOISE TO SAY GOODBYE TO SWEET LITTLE MATTHEW. HIS NAME MEANS A GIFT FROM GOD,HE TRULY IS A GIFT. JANEEN AND BRENT HAVE BEEN SO STRONG,IT IS GOOD TO KNOW THAT FAMILIES ARE ETERNAL AND WE WILL ALL SEE HIM AGAIN AND MATTHEWS MOM AND DAD WILL HOLD HIM IN THERE ARMS AGAIN, ONLY THIS TIME THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO LET GO. HERE IS A POEM THAT JESSE WAS SO PRIVILEGED TO READ AT MATTHEWS FUNERAL

MATTHEW DUANE CARVER DECEMBER 11TH 2010

I cant believe how fast this year went. Jesse is still working at Premier in Rexburg and I am still at the Apple Athletic club. Teagen started kindergarten this year and boy did i cry. Teagen and I got out of the car and i took his hand. As I looked into his sweet face I could see a million questions in his eyes. I simply said as i gave him a little push into the building that everything was going to be OK. I'm not sure how I convinced him of that when I myself did not at that point believe it. I Took him to his classroom tear free, hugged him and said I love you see you soon. As the parents were leaving Teagens teacher was handing out letters to all of us. I assumed it was just the class schedule. I walked quickly to my car and tried to avoid everyone because i did not want them to see my tears. I got in my car and pulled away. Surprisingly i was OK. I looked around and saw many moms reading the letter from Mrs. Davenport. All of them crying I wondered what would make them cry from a schedule. I just thought hmmm that's odd. When I got home I pulled out what I thought was the school schedule. I was so proud of myself for holding it together, as i began to read the words on the page I could no longer hold it together. This was not a class schedule at all. The page read THE FIRST DAY

i GAVE YOU A LITTLE WINK AND SMILE
AS YOU ENTERED MY ROOM TODAY.
FOR I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO LEAVE
AND KNOW YOUR CHILDREN MUST STAY.
YOU HAVE BEEN WITH THEM FOR 5 YEARS NOW
AND HAVE BEEN A LOVING GUIDE
BUT NOW ALAS THE TIME HAS COME
TO LEAVE THEM AT MY SIDE
JUST KNOW THAT AS YOU DRIVE AWAY
AND TEARS DOWN YOUR CHECKS MAY FLOW
ILL LOVE THEM AS I WOULD MY OWN
AND HELP THEM LEARN AND GROW
FOR AS A PARENT I TOO KNOW
HOW QUICKLY THE YEARS DO PASS
AND THAT ONE DAY SOON IT WILL BE MY TURN
TO TAKE MY CHILD TO CLASS
SO PLEASE PUT YOUR MIND AT EASE
AND CRY THOSE TEARS NO MORE
FOR I WILL LOVE THEM AND TAKE THEM IN
WHEN YOU LEAVE THEM AT THE DOOR.

Teagen and I went sledding on Sunday. He really wanted to go on Saturday, but the weather did not permit. I was very suprised, because last year he was very hesitant and did not really care for it. Too fast, cold, or always had something to complain about. This time, he was so excited. He was full of energy, and we hiked up that hill too many times to count. After the first time down both of us together he was ready to take it all by himself. I was so hesitant, because I could tell he was going to slide a whole lot faster, because of the LESS DRAG with my butt in there. Oh was it so true, he took off and I tried to catch him on the other sled, but forget it, he was gone. I got really worried as there are vehicles lined at the bottom, but there was plenty of room for him to stop. I also worried he would crash and burn, and get hurt. He was tough, he did crash a couple times, but got up and shook it off. Very impressed, and suprised over last years results. We raced, and hit some jumps. He loved it. He beat me every time. I even tried to cheat, and he still passed me. I played like I was 10 years old, and now I hurt so bad.. FUN FUN. He loved it. Hope you all enjoy.

IT WAS SUCH A TOUCHING STORY.WE ARE ALL BLESSED TO HAVE SUCH A WONDERFUL AND LOVING FAMILY THAT SURROUND US EVERYDAY.THIS HOLIDAY SEASON WAS TRULY A BLESSING AND A REMINDER THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE AREN'T THINGS!

HE DID IT WE ARE VERY PROUD OF HIM. JESSE AND TEAGEN WENT TO WALMART AND THIS IS THE TOY HE PICKED OUT, THE CARS TRACTOR TIPPING
