Today is Elder Ruse's birthday - he is 68.  He looks pretty good for being 68.  He wanted to go fishing out in the ocean today, but too much work to do today in the office.  Maybe that will happen on Saturday.  We missed Coy and Kenzie's birthdays this month also while we are here.  We can't believe that Kenzie turned 12 - she is such a beautiful young women.  Here is a picture of Elder Ruse eating an ice cream cone outside of McConnell's ice cream - the best ice cream in the world!  On this day they were playing Beach Boy songs and he was loving sitting here.

Well - he didn't go fishing.  Saturday was extremely windy.  We did go see "Heaven is for Real", which made us grateful for the knowledge we have of the Gospel.

Pictures from last week:

These are rose bushes from the Olivas Park that was an old spanish home built in 1847.  We stopped by here one day after we dropped the mail off at the post office.  We pass this place occasionally and wondered what it was.  It is only open on Saturdays and Sundays - but we just wanted to see the grounds.  It is attached to a golf course.

Elder Ruse on a very cold, windy day on the Ventura pier - last Saturday.  Look how beautiful it is, however.  We went to the pier for his birthday fish lunch.

Elder Ruse again - wishing he was doing some yard work at home!  The white roses love the cool, moist weather here.  They are beautiful!

Here is Kenzie taking riding lessons last summer in Herriman - we sure miss all of the grandchildren!  And our children.  It is just that we are missing these young years of the grandkids.  Love you all!

If you are wondering why you never see pictures of Sister Ruse, it is because I am in charge of the blog and therefore, you won't see pictures of Sister Ruse!  I don't think Elder Ruse knows how to get to the blog - so I am pretty safe.
