The Holiday Season is in full gear and you’re invited to our family dinner. Afterwards, we’ll decorate the Christmas tree, read letters from Santa, and take you on our daily adventures that include basketball practice, working as a real estate broker, an extended pat down by a TSA Officer, traveling to New York, NY, and much more.

#RememberWhen that TSA officer patted you down for 15 minutes and thought you had gun powder residue on your body? No? Oh that only happened me?

I grew up in Highland Park and attended Eagle Rock High School. I love both towns. The Eagle Rock Music Festival has become well known in the North East Los Angeles area. The website says it has been going strong for almost 20 years, but prior to 2008 I didn’t really know about, and I’d consider myself a local. Either way, the festival is a wonderful mix of food, music, and commerce that enables the business owners on Colorado Blvd. and it’s side streets the opportunities to connect with it’s community. That’s not what this video is about. This video

Ariel is our eldest child and Bryannah is our youngest daughter. These two are the roses in our family garden. I wasn’t able to use my GoPro clamp so I manually held the camera the whole time. I sat in the car in front of them and just hoped that I’d be able to capture their expressions on the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train ride in the Magical Kingdom. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing these two smile. The ride is very similar to the Thunder Mountain ride with the Snow White theme and the CG dwarfs. It’s a little

We love our 12 year old son “PJ”. He is a big boy. At 12 he is a size 11 in mens shoes and probably weighs about 150 lbs. Because of his size, I sometimes forget how young he is and am hard on my little man. This video is special to me because it captures the special and playful relationship I have with him as we ride the Expedition Everest ride in Disney World Animal Kingdom.

I clipped my GoPro 5 to the dash bar and what I captured was our youngest son Maverick’s first time on the ride and his best “brave” face. Disney’s Test Track by Chevrolet is very similar to the Cars ride in California adventure just themed differently. Rumors have it that Test Track will eventually become Tron themed.

Our family loves taking pictures with Disney characters. The funny thing about this video is how Kylo Ren stayed in character from the moment we walked into the photo set. He was brooding and serious. It caught us off guard. This wasn’t someone in a Kylo Ren costume, this was someone embodying the spirit of Kylo Ren, and my son and I didn’t know how to respond. Our little Maverick was frozen in confusion and maybe even a little in fear. It was funny, and more importantly, it was an experience we will not forget. That’s what Disney does better

Rarely have we walked out of a ride completely mind blown, and calling it a ride probably doesn’t do it justice. This isn’t a ride-it’s an experience. I don’t want to spoil the experience for anyone who hasn’t been on the ride, so I created this video that captures my family of 7 riding it. I got my 3 children to the right: Maverick, Bryannah, and Ariel and my wife, Tamara, and Sebas to my left. You can see our entire family on the ride and their experience. Enjoy!

Time lapsed video of my wife Tami getting her face painted as an Avatar in the Kingdom of Pandora in the Animal Kingdom theme park of Disney World during our Spring Break 2018 Disney World vacation. The artist was very good. The whole process took about 10 minutes and the results were amazing. My wife makes for a beautiful Na’vi.

This is one of many clips of our Argueta Disneyworld 2018 vacation. I held my GoPro 5 and what I captured was our eldest son Sebastian “Sēbas” and our youngest son Maverick’s on this ride. The love I have for each other and their reactions was priceless.

We also introduce members of my wife’s side of the family, do some Christmas shopping at the Mattel headquarters in El Segundo, Ca, and chop down our Christmas tree at the Hagle Tree farm in Somis, Ca. Enjoy the antics.

All athletes dream of that moment when you make the winning point, run, drive, touchdown, home-run, or basket in a game, and you know what’s better than that? Witnessing your child do it. Trust me. It’s 10X better.

In our family we essentially have two celebrations. We celebrate with a family dinner on Christmas Eve (December 24th) with our extended families and open gifts. We are supposed to wait until midnight, but truth be told, by 9PM-gifts are exchanged. On Christmas Morning, Santa visits. He doesn’t wrap the gifts for the little Argueta girls and boys, and instead leaves gifts for each girl and boy who somehow magically know which one is for them.

Our youngest son Maverick is a Pixar Cars fanatic. This was our second time hosting a birthday party at El Capitan in Hollywood. Our first time was for Bryannah’s Moana themed 10th birthday there, and believe you me, Disney / El Capitan didn’t offer any incentives or discounts for return customers. Just goes to show that when you have a product or service and the quality exceeds that of your competitors-you don’t have to discount prices. Disney certainly doesn’t. Want More? Visit the photo gallery of this event! Either way, we did have a great time and Maverick felt very

Circa 2012 I think. Original file is nowhere to be found. This cloud copy is dated 2015 but she is around 4-5 years of age here. She’s always been a dainty princess with brains. We are very proud of her.

In this episode there is some in office hijinks, some on the job training, a private evening engagement for Disney Vacation Club members at Disneyland, a motivational retreat with my kids to hear the Hip Hop Preacher Eric Thomas, and basketball. Right around 21:45 I drop my GoPro camera on the Buzz Lighthear Astro Blasters ride which had to be shut down temporarily while they looked for my camera. I only shared the footage of the Disney Attendant hunting the camera down and bringing it back to me, but the camera recorded about 45 minutes of darkness and sounds from

You can see that everyone is starting to get a little more relaxed in front of the camera. This episode includes footage from my office, lunch breaks with my boss, a road trip to a relocation conference, and everyday nonsense that makes every one of our days unique.

After being interviewed by a few reality real estate TV shows that suggested I make myself more animated or act like something I’m not, I decided we’d put out our own content. Raising a family of 7 in Los Angeles isn’t easy.  We make it look easier than it really is. I’m peeling back the curtains to reveal the victories, the losses, the drama, and the fun.

My 6 yr old daughter Bryannah had to complete her “Best Bear” presentation in front of her class with the assistance of her amazing Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Denham. She spoke about herself, her age, her favorite color (blue — but we still think it’s pink), our family, her favorite animal (a dolphin), her favorite food…

Pulling back the curtains into our life. I was dropping off my son at his High School Basketball Alumni Game and Fundraiser.  He decides to let me know that he has a date tonight with a girl he met on Snapchat. My generation had phone chat lines that you had to dial into. #SnapchatDating Full 30 minute episodes coming soon. We make raising 5 kids in Los Angeles look easy-but that couldn’t be further than the truth.
