Spring Break 2009

2009-03-17T17:43:00.000-07:00

Ryan and Jax today...

2009-01-25T15:37:00.000-08:00

Figured I'd post a new photo of Ry and Jax. Haven't been in here for a week or so. Does anyone look at these anyway? I wonder. Jax is now 7 mos (Ryan is now 13 years and 9 mos) old and hasn't grown much at all (neither has Ryan). We're hoping with some good nutrition and exercise they'll both grow up to be strong young fellows.

Barrett-Jackson 2009

2009-01-17T19:56:00.000-08:00

One of my favorite things to do each year is go the Barrett-Jackson show in Scottsdale.
I've missed it for a few years but made it there today with Kaylin...yea the boys weren't
interested in going. Only my lil Tom-Boy Kaylin was up for it. We had fun watching the
auction but the other two cool things were watching a "drifting demonstration" that
was unbelievable and then we got up close to the original Batmobile...and in it was the
original Batgirl (Yvonne Craig). The Batmobile went for 150K. Fun times.

Kaylin Misc and Choir Concert

2008-12-20T18:46:00.001-08:00

As you can see in the photos above Kaylin is really excited

about being in the concert this year. Right after 5th grade

was done she was headed toward the exit.

Sort of hard to tell but Ryan has a mouth full of bread...or was it chewing tobacco?

Suns Vs. Rockets

Austin at the Suns game last night. Dunno how things will pan out for them this year. Nash got into a fight so that was interesting and made the head lines.

Thanks to James Nally for the tickets!

Happy 80th Birthday Mom!!!!!

It's Kaylin's 11'th BIRTHDAY! Hard to believe we will have 3 teenagers soon. Here's the kids today out front testing Ryan's gift to Kaylin. It was a memory-foam cushion seat for her bike so she could ride in comfort. What a good brother!

Here's a photo on the porch this past August when we were all home for Mom's 80th Birthday party and get together. We we're looking for a more casual shirt for Dad to wear for this but we were in a hurry as we were headed to the airport.

Happy Halloween 1970

This must have been about 1970-ish.

What?

Matt in congnito... working at the OHIO State Fair 1981

2008-10-09T21:42:00.000-07:00

Yea that's me in the Cardinal costume scaring little kids in Teeter park at the Ohio State Fair when I worked for the Youth Conservation Corps back in 1981. As you can see I'm scaring my niece Annie Rae Dawn Howard who was 8 mos old...there's Sheri Berry (or is that one of the Wilson sisters from the band Heart)? And there's my Mom. Hey...I think if you look hard enough that's Beth hiding behind Mom's hat. Yep!

1966 Mom-Dad-Beth-Sheri and me

2008-10-08T20:31:00.000-07:00

My guess is this was 1966 the year I was hatched. Man I had an EGG-head...poor Mom! Beth looks a lot like Annie here and Sheri like Jennifer. So what I'm wondering now is who paid Dad to hold a kid wearing a diaper?

Getting ready for the season...

Kaylin Rae is in her second cross country season and if she has her way...it'll be her last. She's said she's going to be a swimmer again and get back in the pool summer 2009.

Still going strong!

2008-09-29T14:21:00.000-07:00

Here's a recent picture of Mom and Dad out back. Dad's 84 and Mom is now 80! Stay active and keep the right attitude and this can happen to you :-) ! Love you guys! Matt

Jade Asher Dasher and Miranda Howard ROCK NEWARK

Well here's some good photos of my two nieces Jade and Miranda. Both are single and looking for a normal guy but hey...they aren't push overs you've gotta have your act together brother. No spunging off these fine ladies. Email me for details

The second photo is of my MOM and Jade Ashley a few weeks ago. My mother is amazing and is fighting cancer and always-always has a phenominal attitude. We love her SO much. HI MOM! Matt

Kaylin Rae - 11 going on 21

2008-08-31T21:27:00.003-07:00

Kaylin Rae Howard is the light of our lives. She's SO much fun and so mature for her age. We forget she's only 11. She has recently decided to be a "girly girl" more so. You'll now see her dressed up wearing lots of pink clothes and ready to take on the runway. Kaylin keeps her brothers in line...she always has. She drives a dirt bike, swims like a fish and gets straight A's...just like her parents did. Yea right! Kaylin loves her dogs...maybe she'll be a veternarian when she grows up.

Ryan Christopher - 14

2008-08-31T21:27:00.002-07:00

Remember when Ryan was a good natured-loving-quiet-sweet little boy? Well that's all changed! He's full of energy-loves to make jokes (those need some work) and has a laugh like no other person you've heard. Ry has some really strong convictions at his age which sets him apart. He's a deep thinker. We often look at each other in wonderment after some of the things Ryan says. Like...where'd you come up with that? Ry makes the young ladies woozy with his charm and natural good looks. He's planning on working out...one day (maybe in Obama's second term).

Austin Howard - 16

2008-08-31T21:27:00.001-07:00

Austin is a stud muffin...well that's what he'd have you believe. Austin turned 16 recently and has his drivers license. Austin attends Liberty HS and is a Sophomore this year. School work and good grades come easy for the lad-both Kim and I are jealous but very happy about that. He's a natural at basketball and very passionate about it. Every spare moment he's outside working on his shots while listening to his iPod and texting with one hand behind his back. He tries to make me feel guilty that he's not 6' 2" but hey what could I do? That's nature bub! At least your taller than me. Better switch to baseball soon!
