Halloween Decorations

Vampire

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

Witch

Pumpkin

Black Cat/Jack-o-lantern

"Welcome to the Haunted House"
(It's hard to tell in the picture but he wrote "hanid hous" in scary squiggle writing)

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.

Trampoline Hair

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?

Sky View Homecoming Parade

I've never been a fan of parades and I think it's because I always went to the wrong parades. The big city ones are fun for about ten minutes, then boring for the next two hours. But once we had kids we started going to the small town parades, first South Ogden, then Smithfield when we moved up here. That's when I realized the key to a good parade. Candy. The excitement for a parade can keep up as long as the candy is flying.

Jo came home with three times as much candy as Ethan this time around. I don't think she's any faster or better at collecting it, I think Ethan has just learned to be picky.
