Arizona Time!!!

Enjoyed two weeks in AZ this past July and had loads of fun with cousins, uncles, aunts, and grandparents.  It was a special time.

Downtown SD at Maritime Museum

My mom and I took the kids to the Maritime Museum last week where we got to go aboard the last diesel submarine, a Russian submarine, and a few pirate ships! The last pic is up at Cabrillo by the Pt. Loma lighthouse.

March Moments

Just some highlights this month- pic 1-2: We got to see a fisherman catching a 6 foot shark off of the PB pier and yes, that is a surfer trying to help the live shark into the fishing net. pic. 3-4: Noah's opening little league game. pic 5-6: Ben gets invited to speak to Noah's class and gives a talk on submarines. pic 7: catching a sunset by Pacific Beach Pier. pic 8: Hudson, smiling like a Howe. pic 9: dinner at our house with some of the Topeka kids.

Dolphins!

Today we had the privilege of going on a whale watch. We didn't see any whales but were blessed to see hundreds (literally) of dolphins. The kids had a blast along with Grandma Howe.

She's 2!

Had a good day celebrating A's birthday. Noah and Huds helped make the cake and Chick-fil-a took care of dinner and entertainment. Simple sweet birthday :).

Colorful Cookies

Good friends, Gabriella and Marcos come to make cookies with Hudson and Amalia for the sailors on the USS Topeka.

Tree Adventures

Fun times in Pacific Beach!

More Thanksgiving Memories

The day before Thanksgiving, Ben's submarine returned to port and Ben was able to fly over just in time to celebrate Thanksgiving Day with us all. This will be a Thanksgiving we'll remember for a long time.

Thanksgiving in Prescott

We spent a very special Thanksgiving vacation in Prescott with grandparents, great grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, great uncle, and friends. What special memories we will have especially as we celebrated my dad's recent cancer-free report.
