happy birthday rockstar!!

{devo lives on}

{SURPRISE!!}

{yoko ono & john lennon}

{one of the many roasts}

my dad was turning the big 5-OH, so the only 

way to celebrate such a year for such a man was in rockstar style!

since todd and i were already going to be in town, my mom and i thought

it would be fitting to secretly fly my siblings in for the big surprise.

and let me tell you...it was ALL a big surprise

{or at least we like to think so— the american airlines woman just so happened

to tell my dad that a "ryan lucero" was on our flight when he called in 

to check our flight status. but that's for another story. thanks aa}

pops—i love you and am so thankful we could be in town to celebrate the big day! 

{and don't worry, despite your "seasoned" age, people still mistake you for my older brother}
