Vaca family reunion

Victor Negron contacted Grandpa & Grandma to let them know that there is going to be a "Vaca" family reunion. All I know is that it will be June 21st. I don't know where, yet.
To be continued. You may contact Victor at vnegron@kerrnegron.com . I'll let you know what I know. Oh, Eli also contacted me. Later guys!

Fiesta!


Alamodome to the left, tower of americas in the background, and a large amount of cotton candy being funneled into a seven year old.



David looking good before the ferris wheel ride started.







This is the second of three different horses Brianna climbed onto prior to the merry go round actually starting. It went really fast.







So, I had this great idea to FIESTA with my husband and niece. Our primary event was sold out before we even got there "battle of the bands". So we went to the free fair downtown, and wow, that was unbelievably ghetto and we regretted it from the start but proceeded to buy corn dogs, cotton candy and ride the obligatory ferris wheel.
I asked Brianna to invent a code word for being bored, since that frequently happens to her on outings with me for some reason. First she said okay, I'll say "I'm bored". But later, she settled on "potatoes" to communicate her bordism. She kept faking us out saying "potatoes.... ok just kidding, this is totally not potatoes". We left the fair and arrived at the San Fernando Cathedral Fiesta event, that was way better, but she was already screaming potatoes, so we left after about thirty minutes.
We hope to attend the Fiesta Flambeau parade Saturday night. Wish us luck, and no potatoes.

Congratulations, Becky!! Dr. Rebecca Tapia, that is!
Love you! Karen

Life!


Well, there's so many things going on in the Tapia family right now that it's hard to know where to start!

For those of you who don't know I've started my Internship at Methodist in the Stategic Planning/Marketing department, and it's been a month of fun and learning! Just yesterday I participated in an employee appreciation day filled with good food and great fun activities. Methodist sounds like a great place to work!

Rebecca and I have been working super hard with Exegete revising, creating and checking policies. Many a spare moments are working on Exegete stuff, but it will pay off very soon. The good thing is that we're home more often!

We've also added a new member to our family! Her name is Abby and she is a cute and loveable dachsund puppy. We think she was dumped and she needed a good home, so naturally we had to take her in! You can see her picture on this post.

I hope every one can post something, even if its a small something, as often as you can. This will be a great way to keep in touch!

Love you guys,

Dave & Becky
