We all got Hot and Sweaty from rockin out!

P.T.C. Holla!!!

Okay, last night we really enjoyed our anniverasy gift to each other! The Daughtry/Bon Jovi concert was totally rad! We had amazing seats,(thanks to our friends at the Jobing.com Arena) Daughtry was up first, he is soo talented! As Randy would say; "you can BLOW, DOG" at one point Chris had the lights turned down and told all of us to take a pic at the same time, it was really neat! Now Jon Bon Jovi, he is AMAZING! he's better now at age 46, then he was, when his concert T-shirts were $15 verses the $50 they are today.Needless to say we did not come home with one. Last time Loren and I went to his concert, Skid Row opened for them and it was at Compton Terrace, this experience was way more awesome! While Richi Sambora was singing and totally "shredding" Jon was setting himself up right in front of, and below us! He sang a couple of songs and walked back through the crowd to the stage, cool. To see all of those people in that arena, and hear everyone sing in unison;"Livin on a Prayer, Dead or Alive" and of course, Those 5 words, "I'll be there for you!", just gave you the goose bumps!(and I almost lost my voice.) We really needed a night to live in the past, be wild, crazy, and corny. Believe me we were not the dorkiest lookin people there! I am very happy to be in the year 2008- with better clothes and hair. ROCK ON!!!!

Vote for our big sister, We would!

Here we go again! Charlee is running for Student Body Vice President at her High School, currently she is serving as Stu. Bod. Treasurer. We made posters for her, and one of the things we used was an endorsement from her younger Sister's and Brother that said "Vote for our big sister, we would!" Anyway I thought it was a good idea, my friend Lori used this tactic when her son Kyle ran, and it worked, so cross your fingers for us. I have to say; watching your children trying out for competitive school sports, and running for office is more nerve wracking then when we did it ourselves! By the way; Stephanie is Student Body Historian for her school, she has recently complained that I "never" write anything about her. She's AWESOME!And we do love her very much...

The Jones Resort...warning: you might need eye protection to veiw these pictures.

I almost didn't post this pic of Loren trying to tan his thighs but it is too funny especially because he has no clue.

Over Spring break we went swimming in Taya's new pool. Yes our dear friends the Jones' moved a few months ago, and We really miss having them so close in fact t it takes us 20 minutes verses 30 seconds to get there now. But we still see our friends, and Steph continues to babysit quite a bit.There back yard is beautiful and perfect for entertaining. We love you guys!

Soccer Baby!

Soccer season has started again, and we have 4 players on 3 different teams... Loren is helping Coach Steph's team, I am at a different field managing the games of Emmi, Brooki, and Porter Howe! Charlee is the official water girl for all players in the Howe family, And I am the loudest Cheerleader for all. Grandpa Bob and Gram Rox are team photographers, Dad actually drove back and forth between games yesterday to get these pics. So far Steph is doing great, she scored 2 of the 3 goals in her game that they won( when she wasn't playing goalie) And Porter picked up right where he left off last season and scored the winning goal for his team as well. Emmi has a pretty inexperienced team but she's picking it up quickly. I saved Brooki for last because she has never played untill this season but she is pretty aggressive and doing great!

Fun for free...

We took the kids to Westgate, the home of Coyotes arena and Cardinal stadium. It was a beautiful warm day, not too warm yet. We window shopped and the kids played in the fountain, while we lounged. We had bar-B-que at Shane's Rib Shack, it was fun and free, except for the ribs, but the portions were large enough that it was a cheap meal. Just 15 miles away,it was a great way to hang out with our kids.

The official Prom Picture...

Stu had dinner planned in a friends dining room, who happen to be Caterers. After the Dancing, and they did dance, they went to Sonic for a treat. She a great time! and Stu had Charlee home before anything turned into a Pumpkin!
