BITTER SWEET

This past weekend was such a bitter sweet time. Bryan, the boys and I went down to Utah to attend my Grandma Howarth's funeral. While it was great to see family that I only see one/two times a year it was sad to see them because of the loss of a family member. My Grandmother was a great wonderful woman. She was a great example of courage, strength and love. I'm glad that she is now able to walk and run and be with her sweetheart, my Grandfather who passed away two years ago. She will be greatly missed but I know that she is in a far better place and watching over me and my family. Enjoy the pictures there is more on my facebook page.

Imagination Movers!

My Mini Movers

Last Tuesday, March 1st Mason and Ethan got to go to their very first concert ever. It was to see and meet the Imagination Movers. Anyone who has watched our kids at anytime know, they are their favorite band. It's a show on Disney Junior and quite a cool little rock band. Anyone who doesn't know of them should check them out! It was a blast! The band members got down in the audience and let the kids play their guitars and listened to all their stories and gave lots of hugs and high fives. Afterwards we went "backstage" and got to listen to a little jam session. Mason ran up and got them all to sign his CD cover and we all got to take a picture with them. I forgot to download that one off their website before doing this blog so I'll have to post it later. It was a fun little get away, it was in Portland, OR, and it was a nice time to spend as a family. Hope you enjoy all the pictures. I put more on my facebook page.

A few hours before the show.
My little Mini Movers and their backstage passes.

Mason and his "scribble stick". It what Rich uses to draw ideas with in the TV show.

All the movers got right down in the audience. The boys got to give them all high fives!

This is Warehouse Mouse and Nina. The mouse is Mason's favorite. He gave Nina three hugs!

We got to go to the "after Party" and get our picture taken with them (to follow later when we get it)

The following video I thought was the best I got to take.

Playing Catch-up

This is my catch-up blog. I didn't realize that I was so far behind! Sorry! I must have only dreamt that I had updated this instead of actually doing it.--I'm so mental. Here are some pictures from the past month and a half. There are a lot. I couldn't decide which ones to keep and which ones to leave out. So there is a little bit of everything. I guess this is why I should really keep this more up to date. Oh well. That's the life of a mother with two little busy boys. Something has to give. Have fun with all the pictures!!!!! Lots of loves.

"You feed me...."

"So now I feed you"

"hmmm...I wonder" "Don't even think about it!"

Ha!! Got 'cha!!!

This is a picture from Mason's point of view (he got a hold of the camera)!

37 Years!

Happy Anniverasry!!!

Congratulations on 37 years G-Ma and G-Pa Howarth. We love both!

Our Halloween

Sorry I'm a little slow about these pictures. It's been a crazy week. We had a very interesting Halloween this year. Ethan quite enjoyed this whole concept of showing up and people just gave him candy. He couldn't get enough-he is our little sweet tooth. It took us three days to get Mason to even put his costume on. After two bouts of a hysterical breakdown it finally dawned on me that maybe if I showed him some pictures of him the past couple years he'd understand. It worked like a charm and we couldn't get him to take his costume off!! He loved it and had a great time time telling everyone "Happy Halloween" (he refused to say "trick or treat")!! You got to love these boys!!! Oh for those who don't recognize them they are a couple of characters off of Playhouse Disney. They are from the show Imagination Movers. Mason is Mover Rich with his "scribble sticks" (drum sticks) and Ethan is Mover Dave but he refused to wear his red baseball hat. Enjoy the pictures.

We did the "trunk or treat" at the church on the Friday before Halloween. Mason made 4 rounds around to all the cars!

Mason's pumpkin. He actually took this picture himself!



These are my "Mover Boys" Mason is Mover Rich and Ethan is Mover Dave (without the hat).
