Christian's 10th Birthday

10 years old! 

Christian loved his basket ball themed birthday party. Double digits! Can you believe it!



Future Lego engineer! Christian built this gun all on his own, using a Lego design creator program!


Time to rock out! Favorite tune to play.. Ghost Busters!

Leprechaun Trap!

We're going to catch a Leprechaun!! Maddy and I built this today. It has Lucky Charms and gold to entice the naugthy leprechaun! It even has music that plays when the top of the trap is open (used the device off of the singing halmark card)! Wish us luck!!




We had so much fun making this! Except Sam kept trying to eat the charms :)

Wenzel Fantasy Trail

This is my in law's fantasy trail that they open to the public during the Halloween and Christmas season. The entire extended family help work the trail on busy weekends, in which guests fill the entire parking lot.  Christian and Maddy especially like to help serve hot chocolate in the snack shack. Even little Sam participates, handing out candy canes to all the visitors!  It truly is a family affair.

Wenzel update


Haven't posted in a while because I've broken yet another computer. Killed the motherboard on my laptop! So until I get a new one I can only borrow Dane's company laptop. At least every so often I can check updates, do bills and make my ebay/amazon purchases.
A lot has happened since early September. Lots of Christian's soccer games, basketball tryouts, and the sad and sudden death of our loving Great Dane "Daneo." He died Saturday October 2nd from maybe heart attack or possibly his stomach twisted. Either way he went very fast and sudden. I was very heart broken! I thought we had at least a couple of more years with him, he was only 6 (Great Danes live an avg of 7-10yrs.) The day before he died we walked down to the grade school to pick up the kids, it was the first time I had taken him to pick them up.  All of Christian and Maddy's friends we so impressed with their big dog! We all had so much fun that day. When I get more time w/ a computer I'll have to post pics of him along with some great memories we had.
On a happier note my cousin Nicole and husband Alex had their first baby on October 2nd. From the pictures I've seen Caleb is absolutely adorable! Sometimes I really miss having a tiny baby.... sometimes :) She had to have a c-sec, which from experience I know is very painful! I pray for her to have a speedy recovery, so she can enjoy all the many firsts with her newborn.
