World's longest post... BEWARE!!

It has been much too long since this blog has had an update. Hopefully, this extra long post will make up for that.

Jesse started back at USU the end of August! Russton and I are very proud of him for continuing to work on his education. Here's a picture of my two favorite Aggies!














Over Labor Day weekend we had the
H
owe Family Olympics!

This year's Howe family camping trip was located in an exotic and far away land: Grandma and Grandpa Howe's backyard in Malad, ID. Okay, maybe to some of you, Malad doesn't seem far away or exotic... well that's because it isn't. But their back yard made the perfect setting for a little family sporting competition.
We had opening ceremonies to start out

I know... small town fun. Life just doesn't get any better than that!

Each of the events was a grueling test of skill and stamina. We were all so proud of the winners! Some of the performances were worthy of the real Olympics! These winners are sure to become household names just as popular as Michael Phelps!

The Howe family champions:

Trick diving:
1st- Trever
2nd- Jason
3rd- Baylee










Baylee's Bronze medal dive:

Jason's Silver medal dive:


Here's Trever's Gold Medal winning dive:

So, I think this post is long enough. Check back later for more fun!
