This was the scene every night as we exited a park. Within minutes we had spent children. Thanks for a great vacation dad.

The kids were so excited to see Mickey and Minnie. They were the only characters the kids were not afraid of. We will have to cherish this moment for a long time, because as Wally told me a disney vacation is no vacation, it is work, and he was right! We won't be back for a few YEARS.

Just "goofin" around

Fun in the sun at Cocoa Beach.

Ahh, Cinderella's Castle...One of the many wonderful sights to see on our first Disney World Vacation

Matt enjoying his special time with Gabe while trying to get a game in.

This really IS trouble. Papa is in on the action.

This looks like trouble

First snow in Edgerton, and first sled ride....Oh my.

Thanksgiving time is always spent at Matt's aunt's house in Northern Wisconsin. This year was no different with great food and great family members spending time together. I am thankful for, healthy children, a husband, wonderful family members and people to spend my holidays with. RLP

If this is not the happiest smile ever. NOw I know Gabe is safe with Tanya when we are gone. The boys call her Schmootsey, which means they love her. RLP

Ryan getting ready for his second quarter of his first match. He is on top. RLP

Matthew getting ready for his first match. He is on the left. RLP

Well the wrestling season has officially begun, and here are the 2 newest members of the jr. wolves wrestling team. I don't know who is more excited; Matt and I or Matthew and Ryan. Or even Gabe who just runs around the mats at practice. We hope for a great season of learning and growing strong. RLP

Naughty or nice...I wonder every day. Our little angels are counting the days until Christmas arrives. They love to look up their favorite gifts online. Even Gabe thinks he can get in on the action. At least they let him in on the back of the chair.

I'm a little late in posting the picture, but was really excited to finish my first 5k with Matt. (he does them all of the time) This one was special for us because it was our first race together and a breast cancer run. Team 22 did awesome that day. My next 5k will be when it is not so cold outside!

Gabe could not get enough suckers, and still has not recovered from withdrawl.

Halloween was more fun than we could have ever imagined. The boys had more fun opening the door for the trick-or-treaters than the actual trick-or-treating.

Liz and I making apple pie filling and apple sauce every free saturday we had all fall.

Well, I have been inspired by vanessa to share our family with the internet.....Now everyone can be updated on our lives. Yea
