It’s hard to believe that it’s been two weeks since my last posting.\u00c2\u00a0 We’re not even that busy!\u00c2\u00a0 Fourth of July came and went like a blur.\u00c2\u00a0 The three-day weekend was super nice but it went by too quickly for me.\u00c2\u00a0 A real vacation would be nice but I’ve used all of mine up already (remember when our furnace died in winter)..<\/p>\n
Fourth of July was spent at Sedgwick County Park and then at Brian’s parents.\u00c2\u00a0 The Filipinos gathered at the part for a fourth-of-July-slash-despedida<\/em>-party celebration for the Doronios who are moving to Kansas City.\u00c2\u00a0 Tita Tessie, probably the most creative person on the face of the earth, made this really cool scrapbook thing with everyone’s pictures for Tita Lita and Tito Wendell to take with them so they’ll remember their friends from Wichita wherever life may take them.\u00c2\u00a0 I thought that was really neat.<\/p>\n A Filipino party without karaoke isn’t a Filipino party at all.\u00c2\u00a0 So naturally, someone brought a TV and MagicSing (or Magic Mic, as I like to call it).\u00c2\u00a0 As they were doing karaoke, I went and played sand volleyball with a bunch of people.\u00c2\u00a0 That was a lot of fun.\u00c2\u00a0 I love playing volleyball.\u00c2\u00a0 Of course, Brian, who is not so fond of physical activity, just sat in the shade and watched.\u00c2\u00a0 I wish that he would play volleyball with me sometimes.\u00c2\u00a0 He did this during our honeymoon too.\u00c2\u00a0 I went and begged a whole bunch of strangers (well, they were on the same ship as us) to let me play volleyball with them, as he lay in a hammock watching from a distance.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t know how to convince him or what to bribe him with to get him off his butt and playing volleyball with me!<\/p>\n Over at Brian’s parents, everyone was sitting around in their lawn chairs on their neighbor Jim’s driveway.\u00c2\u00a0 I think the highlight of the evening was Kevin getting shot with a beanie baby by a 120-psi air-powered cannon.\u00c2\u00a0 Email me if you want the video clip<\/font><\/a>.<\/p>\n Saturday was spent laying out with Ashley and then shopping after that.\u00c2\u00a0 On Sunday Mom took us all out to eat at RibCrib and then we went to see Legally Blonde 2 (but only because Derby Bowl was closed for the holiday weekend).\u00c2\u00a0 I have some pictures but I’ve been lazy so I haven’t processed them for posting here.\u00c2\u00a0 I will post them next time.\u00c2\u00a0 I promise!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s hard to believe that it’s been two weeks since my last posting.\u00c2\u00a0 We’re not even that busy!\u00c2\u00a0 Fourth of July came and went like a blur.\u00c2\u00a0 The three-day weekend was super nice but it went by too quickly for me.\u00c2\u00a0 A real vacation would be nice but I’ve used all of mine up already […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[10,21],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=91"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=91"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=91"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=91"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
