There's a Mouse About the House

Have you ever seen the website The Toymaker? Very awesome, very fun. We made up these little marble mice and spent a fun evening sending them all over the kitchen.




Ginny was designated as the one to fish lost marbles out from under the oven, her hands being the only ones that could fit.


And, as is her way, it took her only two seconds to go from happy and giggling to needing to go to bed right this very second.


Most commonly heard phrase that night? "Oh no! I've lost my marbles!"

Mail Time


Cards in the mail from Grandma are the best (especially if they have a kitty on them).

Some people spend hours and/or tons of money to decorate their houses for holidays. I farm it out to Ethan.

Crazy Hair Day


One more way in which Ethan expresses his inner Calvin. Just try and take a picture of him without him pulling a face.

Can you say no to a face this sweet?


Ginny, using her abundance of adorableness to try and mooch a sip of daddy's drink.

Captions Welcome

I assume Joanna set this up. It seems like her kind of thing.

Fourth of July


We're traveling back in time a few months for this one. Our old neighborhood up the canyon puts on quite a show every year for the Fourth. And when I say quite a show, I mean the astronauts in the space station were probably sitting up there with popcorn enjoying the show.



The pictures really don't do it justice. Matt made a video of it, which helps give a better idea of the insanity.

Howard Family Fun on a Friday Night


You can do some pretty cool things with a sweet camera, a box of sparklers, and a light saber.

Look close, can you spot the Joanna peeking out?
