Baby Blessing~

Sunday November 23, 2008 we had Grayden's baby blessing. It went great and luckily our church wasn't as loud as it normally is so we could actually hear it. T did a fantastic job and we're very thankful for all those who attended and those who brought some grub to share.

About 2 years ago we went on a Hawaiian Island cruise. Since my mom is a flight attendant she gets some special hook-ups. I was able to take a helicopter ride over Hana and the volcano which is their most expensive ride for FREE! Since there was an open seat I was able to hop right on because Alex Air & SkyWest are in some kind of kahoots with each other.

It was probably one of the coolest things I've ever experienced. It was absolutely incredible, the ride, the view, it was awesome! I'm only sorry that I had to ditch Timmy on the boat for this little excursion.  (thanks babe!)

Thx for the tag Kristen!! :) I'm tagging my sisters, Natasha, & Jolynne

2 Weeks Old!

So we survived the first 2 weeks! T & I are still a bit tired & I'm still a little bit sore but it's getting easier every day. We're not quite sure who he looks like- T's fam thinks me & my fam thinks T. Eat, sleep, poop really is all that he does right now & WOW diapers go fast! It's great fun seeing his personality start to develop & we love some of the faces he pulls! He got his newborn pics taken last Monday so stay tuned in a couple weeks we'll get them back.

Labor & Delivery~

At 9:30 pm friday night (a full moon night) my water broke, so we rushed to the hospital. The hard part was that my water broke far before my cervix was ready. We checked into the hospital at about 10:45 pm which began what seemed to be the longest wait of our lives. I was not even a 2 when we checked in. I tried to walk a lot around the hospital to speed the process up but there was no change. At about 8:00 am I was a 4. I finally was a 10 at about 11:30 am, started pushing at noon-ish and had baby Grayden at 12:38 pm. My husband would be upset if I failed to mention that he was able to watch and help with everything. I thought for sure he would faint but he was fantastic in every way! The delivery seemed to go very well. I had them bring in the mirror so I could watch the process and I really recommend it. It was a neat experience and it let you know what was going on. It's very surreal that I'm a mom now, that I have a baby and how you can love something you just met so much. Thanks to all of our family and friends for your gifts, visits, meals, calls, prayers and all of your other ways of showing your love and support. Thank you!

Go USA!!

Since we Howells are huge Jazz fans you can only imagine how excited we are that Deron Williams & Carlos Boozer are representing USA on the Olympic Basketball team! After killing China by 31 points today it would seem that we have a great chance for the gold~ GO USA!

Hmmm... I'm not sure about this

You Are Cinderella!

Dignified and hard working. With a gentle and soft-spoken manner you have something many people don't. Patience. Even through the moments of heartbreak you're still able to hold onto all of your hopes and dreams. Bide your time; your dream will come true.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

I'm not gonna lie~ I was totally surprised by this result and I'm sure my mother & sisters will be too. 

Gentle & soft-spoken... not around my family & closets friends

Patience... well I'd like to think so & I've probably gotten better through the years but no I wouldn't say I'm very patient.
