HAPPY 90th BIRTHDAY PACA!!!!

These were the shirts that my Uncle Phil had made for all of us to wear at Paca's birthday party!

On the front was Paca in his college football picture at Occidental University in CA

on the back it said PACA 90 They were very cute, my kids haven't wanted to take theirs off! Tess even wore hers to school today for Show and Tell and told about the party and a little bit about Paca to her class~they loved it!

This past weekend we went down to the Valley to celebrate my Grampa's (Paca's) 90th birthday! We call him Paca ~because of me~I was the 1st grand child and couldn't say Grampa and the word Paca came out and so that is what I always called him and it stuck through all of the other grandkids/great grandkids and great great grandkids. Paca was the head football coach at Westwood High School for about 20 years, one year when the royalty for the sweetheart ball was chosen they labeled all of the girls "Paca's Sweethearts"~Paca has just become his name!

Anyway... all of my Aunts, Uncles and cousins that we haven't seen for awhile all came to my cousin Brianne's house (thank you Brianne and Casey!) We had so much fun visiting, the time went way to fast!

Paca is AMAZING! He is in incredible shape and doesn't really age~his health is in tip top shape and he just keeps on going!! He works out everyday in one way or another! He announced that we will all be coming to his 100th bday in 10 years~and I don't doubt that at all!! Go Paca Go!!!

Doesn't he look GREAT for 90????? You should see him in a speedo! My cousin Sara had everyone send in pictures of Paca and she made a DVD out of them~it turned out so cute! There are many speedo pictures on the DVD~you wouldn't believe how good he looks unless you could see for yourself!


Some of my family hanging out around the Guacamole bowl! Paca also coached Danny White in High School and they have stayed in touch having lunch etc. over the years. One of Paca's friends arranged for Danny to sign a football and photo of him playing for the Dallas Cowboys for his birthday. Danny wrote "Thanks for starting me off on the right foot"~Chandlar is holding the football and you can kind of see the framed photo on the table!

After Paca blew out his candles he put his arm around me and asked everyone if they remembered where the name Paca came from~then he told the story, and gave me a kiss! I love you Paca thanks for ALL the fun memories over the years!! You were and still are a HUGE part of my life!

Let em eat cake! This is my niece Chloe, Tess and my niece Piper







Jaxon met Calvin, my cousin Sara's little boy and they were fast friends and had a lot of fun together~Jaxon is still talking about Calvin!
