Happy Birthday Rebecca!

Rebecca celebrated her 6th birthday in August. She decided to have an "Enchanted" cake and also had an Olympics game theme.

The funnest activity was "sponge racing" Each team had to race across the yard, fill up their sponge, and then race back and fill up their bowl. It was a hot day, so getting wet was no problem.

Our Family

Here we are... our Army Family! Larry, Jelka, and our daughter Rebecca. We are all excited to use this forum to share a little bit about our family. We never realized how much fun blogging can be, but so far we have enjoyed starting this blog for our friends and family.


We can't forget about our "other" child. This is Daisey. She is 4 years old and we found her at the local Humane Society in Manhattan, Kansas, shortly after Larry got back from Iraq in 2004. She is very spoiled and a great friend to our daughter Rebecca. Larry keeps trying to convince Jelka to get more pets, but so far no luck.


Rebecca loves to do many activities, but dance classes seem to be her favorite.








Larry is currently the Battalion XO for the Salt Lake City Recruiting Battalion. This has been a great experience, especially with Larry's parents living in Utah. Recruiting is nothing like we thought it would be and the hours are long, but we are so grateful to be close to family and together.
