Ben and R2

Happy 4th Birthday Ben!

Yep, Ben is now officially 4 years old. He has grown so much, so quickly. I love my boy! He had such a good time at his Spider-Man themed party. I think we all had a lot of fun. This year, we kept it rather simple. No big bouncy thing. No clowns. No Chucky Cheese! Just a few good friends, family, cakes, and love, baby! Oh, and Spidey, too.

Halloweeeeen

We got some cool pumpkins and carved them the day before Halloween!


We went trick-or-treating with Scott, Sophie, Jake and a few of thier neighborhood friends. We had a blast. Ben loved it this year -- he was a very strong Mr. Incredible and Rebecca was very fashionable in her cheer costume.


We can't wait to do it again Next year!

Ruby and Co.

Here are a few newer pics of Ruby

Ruby Jean Cruz is here!

We take a moment to pose with the latest addition to the family. Ruby arrived at 7:27 am October 9th,2006. (Her due date, I might add.) 19 inches and 7 pounds 1 ounce.


Ben thinks he has a baby in his belly and wants to show everyone.























Ruby with hat and without.
































Happy Birthday, Ruby!

Into the Wind!

So, ah, yeah. Here's another picture of Roy, Ramon, and me on the Isle of Mann. Roy just can't seem to hold his water. I don't know how he does it. Especially into the wind like that. And in his shorts and socks, too!

Rosery Cathedral

The kids and I went ahead of Heather and had a short visit with my mom. We went to church for Easter. Ben had fun listening to his voice echo all over the place. We walked the stages of Christ's journy to the cross. Poor Ben kept saying, "It's creepy, daddy. I'm scared."

Vill, Ramon, and Roy... WHAT THE--?

There's Roy writting his name on the wall again. And on the Isle of Mann, too! Terrible. Can't take him anywhere.
