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.

Surprise! Susan and Troy Pop In

Susan and Troy surprised us with a visit tonight. They where here for the 'Burton' family reunion. Ryan was also with them. Troy's mother is a Burton and lives here in Star Valley. They took the kids with them up the hill to Troys Uncle's (Bruce and Betty Davis), house to watch a fireworks show. (We had a show at our house last night). They had to head back to Pocatello tonight. It was great to see them.

I didn't get a picture, so a picture-less post it is!

Annual Howes Christmas Party and Family Reunion

Each year shortly before, or after Christmas the Howes' get together for their annual Christmas Party and Family Reunion. This year the event was held in Pocatello Idaho, and hosted by Troy and Susan Ruud. They did an awesome job! The next few post are all about this years reunion! I hope you all enjoy!
