Mike's scar after surgery for broken elbow

Baby Shower


I found these pictures and had to put them on the blog. I figure it would be worth the slug in the arm that I'll get from Melissa. She had Blaise the next day. She doesn't even look pregnant.

Quite the posers.







Aquarium March 2009
















We went to the Mall of America in Minnesota while visiting Shan and her family. This the Aquarium inside the mall. It was really cool. Enjoy the pictures.

Pictures for Bollwinkels

This was when we went to visit Iowa back in March.
Love the pictures of my kids. It was a great trip. We had
great food and fun with you guys. Thanks for letting us visit.




























I figured if Shanna could find the time to update her blog for me, I should return the favor. It's not the same as being with each other but it helps to see pictures. Here's for you Shan and your cute boys, even Regan. Love all of you. Grandma and Grandpa

Taylor, Tyler and Josh Eagle Court







It was awesome to see my three nephews get their Eagle together at one time. I'm so proud of all three of you. You're great kids. Love you. Keep up the good work.

Old Pictures

I know that some of the events that I have put pictures on my blog are way in the past but they are for my Iowa kids that didn't get to see them. Mark and I are going to try and be more current. Shanna does an awesome job of updating her blog so we feel like we are still a part of them. Love you guys tons and miss you.

Howell Renunion 2009

Mark and I drove Grandma Betty and Aunt Marge to the annual Howell renunion in Malad. We went to Alene's new home and transferred all of our stuff to her van and Mark drove us all to the reunion. Alene and I talked non-stop in the back seat and so did Grandma and Marge while Mark chauffered us. He's quite the champ.

While playing baseball with cousins and siblings, I managed to get a huge fat lip. I sported it well. I must say I don't think I'll ever have collagen put in my lips. Puffy definitely isn't better. Mark wouldn't take a picture. He just kept saying it looks better than it did.

We played lots of fun games, talked and told stories. Those who couldn't make it should try to plan to make it next year. The Jim Howell family is in charge next year. Let's show our support and show up.
