Sophia shared her room with Addy. Sophia is really good at entertaining Dylan. She pushes him about 100 miles an hour through the house in his Tonka truck.
Kevin and I got to CA on Thurs. night. The next morning was Crystal's birthday. She turned the BIG 30. Kelly and I drove to her house in the morning. I was going to surprise her at home, but instead we caught her taking Alex to school. She was just starting to drive down the street and I started driving down her side of the street, head on. She thought, "What is this crazy person doing?" Then as I got closer, she realized it was her crazy mom. SURPRISE!!
I think Ryan got her this massive balloon bouquet.
So I spent the day with Crystal at her house. That night Ryan took her to the City Cafe, her favorite dining place. Kelly and I watched the kids at Kelly's house. Earlier in the day, Kevin detailed the inside of Crystal's car.
Chris had to work that night, but came off the road for a little bit to wish Crystal a Happy Birthday.
The next day, Sat., I went to Alex's Basketball game. Ryan is coaching the team.
Good defense.
That night, Ryan hosted a birthday party with all their friends. There were about 2 dozen friends and 10 kids. It was really nice.
It was Kelly's birthday a week ago. She turned 32. Isn't this a cute picture?!
Here's a few of the party guests. This is Mike and Mary. They live next door to Ryan and Crystal. They have Ryan and Crystal and the kids over every Tues. night with their kids for a family dinner. They have been so nice!
Matt and Christi
Kyle and Kelly
Theo and Kasandra, they drove up from LA
Alex and Sophia got in the hot tub. Alex wouldn't be that happy if he could see the "ears" that Sophie had put up behind him. The party was fun. I went back to Kelly's about 10, but the final party guests left at 3 am.
The next day was Super Bowl Sunday. Chris and Kelly hosted the event. Kelly made tons of food, but before the Saints fans arrived, Chris took Kelly on a motorcycle ride.
Va roooooooooom
Kelly and Crystal give the "spread" a taste.
Alex listens to the National Anthem with his heart covered.
The Super Bowl Saints fans. Goooooo, fight, win!! And they DID!
Monday morning, Kevin and I headed home. Before we did, I gave the kids and grandkids theirValentines from Jim and I.
Kevin and I lucked out going both directions on the pass, rain on the way down and dry on the way back. We had a great time surprising Crystal, going to Alex's BB game, watching the Saints win the Super Bowl and playing with grandkids. I love ya all,
and miss you already.
