A Rojo Rad Party & Last Week

This past week was typical happenings for us.  Some old and some new things.  Easton found this military gear and has been sporting it around daily.  He doesn’t want to take it off but we don’t mind.  It makes Brad proud and he is just the cutest in it! He puts his sippy cup and toys inside so he is always prepared on the battle field.  A toy gun is included of course!

 

Easton also is into acting like a puppy dog currently.  I completely remember that about this time Bradley and Gavin were into playing ‘animals’ too. The down side to this pack is that Gavin and Bradley have discovered the loop and they hook him with a bungee cord and walk him around like the puppy he is acting like.  This puppy needed a break.

Gavin was also sick this past week and as I am writing this has past it onto Easton and me now.  Here we are torturing him putting eye ointment in from what we thought was pink eye but we took him to the doctors when it wasn't working and he said it was just a viral cold that was in his eye. 

By Thursday his eyes were clear and he got to go to school in time for his last day before spring break.   They had their Easter party and egg hunt so he came home with lots of fun goodies. They ate candy for lunch that day.  Sometimes I just don’t win the battles!

On Saturday we helped out our friends Brian and Becky throwing a party for our friends Luke (Uncle Rojo) and his wife Stacy.  They are moving to Tucson and we are all sad over it.  It is the same sad story that we did not spend enough time with them when they lived here and now they are leaving and we want to cram it all in.  I hate that but is the military lifestyle sometimes. The times we have spent with them have been awesome. Including hulk smash with his favorite Woodward red heads and Rojo and Brad signing a letter stating '’we will not fart when we are 70.’ Becky still has the paper. These are among so many other memories we share with them and Brad and Rojo as team mates, I am sure their are many stories I don’t know about and probably wouldn’t want to.  

The kids loved getting him with silly string.  He was such a good sport and had no clue.  We totally pulled off the SURPRISE!

 

Shout out to some amazing selfless wives and moms. Also note that I am not one of the moms with a baby on her hip!

Rojo being Hulk Smash with all the kids.  One of the many reasons we love him.

Bradley (shyly) giving him his going away card he made for him.  It said ‘Your name means RED but really it is ORANGE…. You are special to me…..I will miss you in Arizona…’

Stuff like that from my sweet six year old.

They even hooked him up with booking his favorite band the Java Mules to play.  The instruments and their voices were amazing.  It was blue grass but it wasn’t too country either.

The fun didn’t stop there.  The kids got to take swings at a piñata.  Rojo really went to work for his own party but that is him.  He loves being with the kids.

 

As the evening was winding down Bradley and Ducky made sure to fit in their moment too.  She listened while Bradley explained an entire movie.  You know B, you could have just watched it with her!

 

They guys.  Do I dare even call them that.  They are being straight up little goofy boys in these pictures.

To think, these are some of the men defending our country.  They act completely different when doing that?!

I kept saying to them ‘what are you girls doing?” I would keep seeing them chatting off to the side with each other.  They have missed each other so.

Brad and Brendan

 

It was a great week and weekend, minus the sickness.  I hope we can all kick these colds really soon.
