4 years old

Ruben is for years old now. He has been walking so tall today. He told me that he got bigger over night. Here he is opening his presents. There are little mermaid floaties and are actually for Danika. In the red present he got a Nerf gun from Mom and Dad. He has more fun being shoot by Dad then shooting it himself. In the blue present he got a Bass hat that is signed by the founder of Bass. Bass is a fishing magazine that a friend of ours works for.

Ever wonder what vacationing storm troopers look like? We saw these on Saturday.

Here is a picture from Rubens birthday marshmallow roast.


More pictures of us and our friends and some random people too.

Ch..ch..ch..chip and Dale...Rescue Rangers...


Another cool family night activity

On Saturday we had a stake activity where we collected food for a local food bank. As you can see our stake did a great job. Here we are dropping off our stare.

Another fun family night activity. Ruben made the eyes for the sad and unhealthy face and Danik made the eyes for the happy and healthy face.

We made cards with healthy food and not healthy food. We talked about the Word of Wisdom and then the kids got to feed the food to the appropriate bag. This was so much fun.


Easter at our friends house


All the kiddies.

The last Photo Udate of the Day

This little girls mother forgot to put her in something green for St. Patricks Day. When she got home from school she got right to work. She had collected clovers and grass on her way home from the bus stop and she taped them to a white shirt. Too cute. Very creative.

Third visitors of the year. Grandma and Grandpa Wentzel. We enjoyed having them a little before and a little after their cruize.

Three generations swimming together.



Danika posing just after dinner at the China pavilion at EPCOT.



Two cute kids posing beside some beautiful flowers at EPCOT's flower and garden festival. We got to see Davy Jones perform at the concert series.
I guess that is all for now. We still love being here. The weather is great and we have plenty of things to do. I hope you are happy with the pictures and stories that you get to see.



Photo Update

Harley went all out for Valentines Day.
We have these beautiful cinimon rolls complete with pink frosting.

Then we have a cute little pizza in a heart shape.

And last but not least Harley with a cake shaped heart.


Super star Edmundo del mundo.


Edmond has become the family pin trader. When we sees people with pin lanyards he shouts. "Pin pin" and then he walks up to them and points out the one that he wants to trade.

Photo Update

Dinner at the Japan pavilion at EPCOT.

This is a little picture I like to call Ruben with a reuben.


Molly, me, and the kids at EPCOT. It was a little chilly that day hence the kids wrapped in blankets.


Just another beautiful day here in Orlando Florida.

Does anyone remember this cartoon? The song went like this. First you pick it up put it in the bag. bump bump

Photo Update

Here is a cute little picture of Edmond and Kacy. Awww.
This is the amazing view from Harley's office. I took this picture right out of the window in his office. You can see everything. Spaceship Earth, Disney's Hollywood studios, the Castle, the Tree of Life, the Temple way off in the distance. Pretty neat.

Molly was our second visitor of the year. We got to have her around for two weeks while Mom and Dad were in India. We love love loved having her around to play with. I took 3 picture right here of Molly, I finally got one with her eye open and, what do ya know, Ruben's are closed! This is us eating at the Mayan Grill. Yumm yum.



After dinner we took a walk around the pool area and Ruben decided to jump into the kiddie pool while he was fully clothed. So Danika look at me and gave her the OK to do the same.



We enjoyed watching one of the animals at Disney's Animal Kingdom get a surgery done. Molly really loved this. This was my first time seeing anything like this.

Photo Update-Jan


Here we are swimming on Christmas Eve. This is becoming our Christmas tradition.






About one second after I said, "Edmond, don't eat that."

Danika my little artist.
Craig and Holly win for being our first visitors of the year. We picked them up shortly after midnight at the airport on our way home from our new years party.


Harley and Criag both got chosen to be in a show together. They were funny.



More pictures coming soon.

Still Here!

Hey everyone. We are still here at Walt Disney World. I just thought that I would post now that the dust has settled from all the lay offs to tell everyone that we are still here. Harley still has his job that he likes. We have seen a few people that we know go. A few people that Harley knows. We are sad for them, but glad we still have a job to support our little family. All is well here. Current pictures will be coming soon.
