Wild for WildTree

After very little debate I have decided to become a representative for WildTree foods. It is a line of convenient all natural food products with no additves, preservatives, MSG, etc. I've tried many of the products and they are delicious! Who knows where this will go - but I believe in the products and what they can do for your health and tastebuds. Check out the websit here: http://www.wildtree.com/Home/default.aspx

I'll have a personal website soon and will include it on the blog soon. If you want to know more give me a call or leave a message here!! I'm looking forward to sharing my love for these healthy natural products.

Door Peninsula

We all took the day off today and wandered our way up and down the Door Peninsula.

The Real Start of the Housing Mortgage Crisis?

An interesting article written in the NY Times in 1999 -the link is included here. It's almost as if someone wrote this article this week... It's so hard to keep your head from spinning in these times. But I think when you break it down in it's simplest terms some light comes shining through on how this disaster all got started. Good intentions but totally irresponsible, impractical, and completely lacking in foresight. Now the rest of us who have worked so hard to be responsible and accountable with our finances will pay the penalty for the rest of our lives. And our parents who have worked so hard and invested in the market in hopes to retire will now put it off for "a few more years". And we will pay for it by shoring up our spending, working harder and sacrificing even more to get through it. When will the government take similar responsibility and action? Novemer 4th can't come and go fast enough!

Bye Bye Summer...

As summer draws to a close I am very sad this year. Usually I LOVE fall and am happy when it arrives. But it seems like winter JUST ended and knowing that it is just a couple months away again - well let's just say I'M NOT READY! We had such a great summer with Ben - he learned to walk and run and ride a tricycle (sort of), and lick an ice cream cone, and eat corn on the cob and even fresh tomatoes from the garden. I guess he'll learn to pick a pumpkin soon!

First Pics

Here are some of the first pics taken with the new camera. Still lots to learn about it - but so far so good!

Wait! Don't leave!

I know it's been too long since an update. Ben is by far the best darn walker on all of Rocky Mountain Drive these days... Our camera broke though... But we got a new one!!!! We ordered a Canon Rebel SLR xTi - I'm soooooooooooo excited! NO more blurry faces of Ben. So stay tuned! The new pics won't disappoint!

Ben is Walking!

Spring? What's Spring?

Weekend progress

This weekends progress: I finished running all of the wires, finished framing the closet, ordered the closet doors, piled up the basement floor with insulation, and then put up some foam on the walls.
...and yes, that is a picture of mid-April in Wisconsin.

The NEW Wenzel Project

The "New Wenzel Project" is the Do-It-Yourselfer lower level of our house. Here is the progress after a few weekends with help from the dads:
