Uncle Keith and Angie had their Engagement pictures taken and are looking forward to getting married in September!

Well, that's it for now. Mommy goes back to school soon.
We've had a great summer and so much has happened!
Jack is walking lots of steps now and "talking" a lot!
I continue to amaze everyone all the time!
Nana says I'm very funny!
Mommy has been busy with lots of projects around the house
and party planning too!
She'll post pics of Jack's party soon too!
Anyway, we hope you enjoyed a peek into our summer!

missing Nana






Today is Nana's birthday. She would have been 97. She went home to be with the Lord 2 years ago. We know she is in Heaven, but we still miss her down here terribly!

birthday cupcakes!

Birthday cupcakes for my sweet little boy Jack!
One already!?!

Sharing with your brother.

LOVE this BOY!!!



So, my brother Jackson Parker Howell
(Jack as we like to call him) turned ONE
on Wednesday, August 5th.
Mommy can't believe he's one already!
We spent the day playing
while Mommy baked cookies
for Jack's party on Saturday.
We also watched Sprout all day
waiting for them to announce Jack's birthday
and show the card Mommy made - but no luck!
Oh well, at least we had cupcakes
to celebrate and Mommy didn't even worry
about all the crumbs we made!
Happy Birthday little brother!
We love you!!!
