Happy Mother's Day

A Happy Mother's Day to all those special Moms. Especially to my Mother Hazel, to my Mother-in-law Janet, Sisters Susan, Kerrie, and Rachael, Sister-in-laws Angie, Jackie, and Mary, and Daughter Ashley. But most of all to my wife Angela!


Ruby made this very nice bouquet, at activity day, for Angela. I think she did an excellent job.

Laparoscopic

Grandpa Howes had surgery on his knee yesterday. From all reports the surgery went very well and he is recovering quickly.

Sister Racheal has been a big help since Grandpa's accident, helping with the errands and getting Grandpa and Grandma to doctors appointments. Sister Kerrie went down from Pocatello today to spend the week and to help out also. Sister Susan is leaving Pocatello on Saturday to spend a week with Grandpa and Grandma to help out.

We are all wishing Grandpa a speedy recovery.

Wishing Grandpa a Speedy Recovery

As the family all knows; Grandpa Howes had an accident this past Thursday. He did something he has always taught us kids NEVER to do. He went cutting wood by himself. On cutting down his third tree, the tree landed on him. He was pinned under the tree and couldn't breath. He was able to cut away a limb to give himself some air. He was then lucky enough to have his cell phone and he was able to get service. He called 911, and told them he needed help. He told them Racheal knew right were he was. When Racheal received the call from the sheriffs office her and Jay immediately went to help Grandpa. They were able to free him and get him to the hospital. He had blood in his lungs, and ended up very bruised up. He had to spend two days in the hospital, and he is still on oxygen. He can't walk much yet, but by all reports he is doing much better.

Get better soon Grandpa! And don't go alone next time!

Tristin's Birthday

While in Ely last weekend Tristin had his 3rd birthday! We celebrated with a party at the park.
