Howard Family Reunion

Utah! People working together! Utah! What a great place to be! (My favorite song from 4th grade). Here's some pics from my family reunion in Utah a couple of weeks ago. Don't worry, Jeff was in Vegas starring in a Lil' John music video so he couldn't make it..standard procedure.

The grandparents, parents, and sister-in-law


The bros and cousin Nikki, just having a snack


Me and the bros inside the scuba cave - we all like tight pants


My personal favorite - Aaron playing horsey with cousin Astrid. I've never seen this side of him...


Grandma petting the horse


We spent a lot of time petting the horses


My new favorite cousin. This guy is rad.


And what family reunion would be complete without a birthday party?

After 4 Special

It's been a loooong time since me and Jeff have had a date at Subway and actually dined in. But last night we finally did and it brought back a lot of memories.

In case you didn't have the priviledge of living there - you wouldn't know that Subway was the only place to eat in Laie, Hawaii back in the day. If you got sick of eating there 8 times a week - too bad - don't even think about going to Taco Bell! I'm talking back in the day before they re-did it (and before they tried to turn it into Red Robin - worst idea ever!) when all the tables and chairs were neon yellow....

I miss our 4 hour long family dinners, when "the crew" took over half of the tables and posted a chill.

Last night wasn't quite the same.... first of all Jeff didn't have to take his shirt off....and second of all we got a meatball sub! Everyone knows that you can't get a hot sub with the after 4 special - some people want to slit my wrists for even saying it! But I don't care... worth it!

And the whole shirt thing.... something about the Laie Subway.... it has this smell.... that just lingers.... If you went to Subway that day, people knew about it. So Jeff refused to wear a clean shirt in there. Luckily "no shirt, no shoes, no problem brah!"

The one and only

So I know I should be writing in a pregnancy journal and documenting my belly growth and all that good stuff, but I haven't really gotten around to it. I've thought about it a lot....and now I'm eight months pregnant. So here's the one belly picture I managed to take (which is super awkward looking but whatever):

P.S. this was like 2 weeks ago and I think I'm about 2 feet bigger now!

10 Points for Wifey

I have to give myself a little credit for an amazing birthday surprise. Jeff's b-day was last week (27!!!!) so he thought he was getting a juicer, a magic bullet (which he did from my parents) or apparently booty shorts and a tank top (don't ask me). But instead I went behind his back and got him this amazing biking ensemble (Rock & Republic - yes, like the jeans) that he showed me like 3 months ago which I had to bid for from China. Anyway long story short, he is super picky about stuff and he loved it!!!

Plus I got him a cold stone cake with candles. I've never gotten him a cake before...steppin it up...

Time's Running Out!!!!

Calling all cool names! So we were really more mentally prepared to have a boy and we had a definite boy name ready to go. But this whole girl thing is really throwing us off. Now it's down to 9 weeks left and I still couldn't tell you what our name is for sure. We have about 5 names that we keep running our minds over but I just can't commit (not something I'm very good at)! I'm not gonna say what names we are thinking of, but let's just say they are different. (I would rather have people lie to me and say they like it when I have the baby than kill it for me now!) So anyway, if anyone has suggestions of some cool/unusual girl names I want to hear it!
