Halloween Day!

Today in Carson's class they had a Halloween party and I got to come in and help with some of the games. It was cute meeting all his little friends.

Our cute boys in their Halloween shirts. About 30 minutes after this picture Jace did poop on his shirt, thank goodness I took the picture when I did!

BOO!

So I now have two "friends" that stay on my porch all day.

Our scary pumpkins!

Football Season...

...is the BEST time of the year.

Chas and his teammate Justice. (These are the faces they use to intimidate their opponents)

Put me in coach! (Nice softball shirt)

October 23, 2006

Today would be the 2nd birthday of Drake and Dax. Some people think it gets easier with time, but it doesn't, you just learn better coping skills. ( I obviously have a long way to go)

This will always be hard time of the year for us and I wanted to say thanks to those that have brought flowers, baked goods, and have sent their thoughts and love our way.

Thumb Sucker?

We might have a thumb sucker on our hands, any suggestions? Do you like how his gut is hanging out of his shirt too, that is only cute when your under 18 months old.

The Howard's Go Camping

We went camping with 6 other families over the weekend and we all had a ton of fun. The first thing Jace did was poop up the back, because as we know he likes to make his mark. The other "funny" thing that happened within the first 30 minutes of our arrival was that Chas peed in his pants, TWICE!!! I asked him why he didn't just go on a tree and he said "I didn't know which one to go on". This coming from a boy who will go in the backyard just to pee. Apparently we can't give him too many choices of trees or we're just asking for an accident! This was our group shot at the Lake...
Eating smores in always fun...I just eat the chocolate. The boys loved being dirty and taking little hikes in the forest.
As always we travel in style...
Jace did a great job and he's a cute camper!!

Jace's Blessing

When I say that I've been dreaming of this day for almost two years, I'm not exaggerating. Being able to bless a healthy new baby boy was a great feeling. It was very emotional for me because after the twins passed away I sometimes thought that blessing a new healthy baby would never come, I'm so happy that I was wrong! I miss Drake and Dax terribly, but Jace has helped us to keep moving forward and have faith in Heavenly Father's plan.

Don't Ryan and Mike look alike? (Minus the facial hair obviously)
