Cinco de Mayo – Day 31

, , , 4

Well, today is the last day of my thirty-one day marathon.  Some of you are happy that I’m done since Rebecca hasn’t felt compelled to post anything and you are only here for Rebecca. For those of you who are going to have to have therapy from separation anxiety, I’m sorry that this has had to come to an end.

In honor of today’s last post I planned an event to give you something to read about.  We celebrated Cinco de Mayo.  The Latin American blood runs deep in our family.  Rebecca and I spent a day in Tiajuana on our honeymoon.

To help us celebrate I built a pinata out of flour and old newspaper.img_5247

As it happens, the only spray paint we have is gold so it was our golden egg.

We invited the Fraziers and the Lintons to join us because it is more fun in numbers.  We also invited another neighbor who was walking by.

I didn’t think it would take so much force to open up the pinata.  It’s only newspaper and flour.

Ava, Emma, and Brooke loved the idea of candy!

We all got together on dinner and had a great Mexican feast.

My Surgery – Day 30

3

Today I found myself in the doctor’s office.  It wasn’t a pretty sight.  I had surgery which I’m kind of regretting right now.  It hurts, it itches, and it’s bleeding like crazy.  Rebecca and Brooke were watching and I noticed that Brooke wasn’t looking so good while she her dad getting cut open, so Rebecca had to take her away.  That’s how bad it was.  The pictures of my surgery are not for everyone so I have posted them on a separate page.  Click here if you are brave enough to see them.

Daddy Day at Hill Air Force Museum – Day 27

, 3

Yesterday Brooke and I went with our friends for a Daddy Daughter activity.  We took our girls up to the Hill Air Force Base Museum.

Emma, Ava, and Brooke all got to sit together on the same row in the van.  Brooke seemed to enjoy it but she wasn’t entirely sure about it.  When we were leaving, Brooke was crying for her mom.  Watching Wall-e on the DVD player calmed her right down and kept the girls occupied for the trip to the museum.

This was my favorite plane as a kid.  It is still really cool.  We even had the G.I. Joe Blackbird.

Brooke solutes all our airmen who are risking their lives to protect our country.

On the way home Emma and Ava fell right to sleep but Brooke was wide awake for the entire trip home.
