La-Di-Da. Swade

Graffiti done illegally on the magical fridge in the forest... not by my son hopefully.
I know he would NEVER do something like this, let alone take a picture of it...HAHA.

One of the concerts in the park.

Contra, Formally known as Fjord

Fjord- Before the vocalist change.

Contra again, this was before the name change.

Contra again. Man, they need new pictures.

Swade loves concerts. This one is at Warp Tour at Bring Me The Horizon. He always has to be the center of attention.

Swade loves his bass more than he loves anything else. He plays all of the time, and can't stop writing music...and talking about the stuff he writes, and talking about the stuff he plays, and dreaming about talking about writing about the stuff that he wants to play...you get my drift? They are releasing their demo, and have their first major gig coming up with Just For The Record in Salt Lake City. He is a very dedicated person, and I am very proud of him.

We're still here, but never "still" here...

We are a happy family...

We had all pretty much had it by this point

Wyatt and Baylie and our cute puppy Cowboy

Wyatt suspended in mid-air...amazing!

Baylie Ann and Karen

Before Justin showed up...

My brother and his cute little fam...

Happy Karen, as usual such a HAM!

Sweet little Kay...what an angel!

Just before the whole tramp ripped in two! Just kidding...

Mom, Dad, and the girls...

Me and the kids

Baylie and Samantha...just chillin'

Man, I don't get on and do this anymore. I know I should, but life is so busy. Kudos to all of you who keep yours up to date. I love to look at them. These are some photos that were taken of our family back in August when Brandon and Rachelle and their cute little girls Samantha and Brooklyn were visiting Utah. We were in a rush, because Swade had somewhere to be, (Swade ALWAYS has somewhere to be) but they turned out okay never the less. Hope you enjoy them.

Howes family reunion

We had our reunion today, and it was a lot of fun. I love spending time with my Aunts and Uncles, they are all very dear to me. I love seeing my cousins and all of their little children. Jamie and her family came out from Oklahoma to be here. It's great seeing her! Our family has really grown. I missed all of the ones who weren't able to make it, but hopefully they will be there next time. Swade left with Tim and his family right from the reunion to go to Flaming Gorge for the week. I hope he is safe and has a blast.

Wyatt's vacation...

Here are some more great moments of the vacation. It's great that my mom and dad can take one of the kids somewhere every year.

Wyatt's vacation

Wyatt had a good time on his recent vacation to San Diego with my Mom and Dad. They saw Old town, Sea World,

The Sand Diego Zoo, and of course, Wyatt's favorite was the beaches. Here are some highlights!

More canyon adventures...

As you can tell, we love to do the 4-wheelin' thing...Ty got a new dirt bike for Christmas and has had a lot of fun on it this summer.  We spend a lot of time watchin' the deer and just working too while we are up there...well, except for Swade, who spends most of his time being bored because there is no place to skateboard!  Baylie and Wyatt's favorite is looking for lizards!

Canyon Adventures...

We have property in Indianola - Oaker Hills.  We spend many, many weekends together up there, and the kids really love it.  Justin has worked really hard to make it a wonderful place for our family.  See pictures of our new pets (the deer we feed, and the blue birds that hang out in Ty's birdhouse).
