Game Day


Opening Day for the LA Galaxy against the Chicago Fire:

After the fireworks, fans on the far side of the field had enormous banners with the years of MLS Cup wins: 02, 05, 11 and 12.  SO cool!

Today was overcast at our house.  We wore long sleeves, brought our jackets and our collection of Galaxy scarves, of course.  Only to discover, the sun was out in full force upon arrival at the Home Depot Center. 

Rett and I treated ourselves to some new baseball caps, woohoo!  (But so much for having only food purchases in the month of March, remember how good I was in February??)

After the game, Rett proudly walking with Liam in all his Galaxy gear, talking about the 4-0 victory.

For someone in our family, the games did not end there...

For Christmas Liam and Grandpere got Lakers tickets!!!

Borrowed a jersey from a friend.

Meeting at the hotel parking lot, so their CAR could pick them up.  Grandpere does everything in style!

Here they are, getting into their ride.
He told me afterward, Grandpere took him to the VIP buffet for dinner.  The food was super yummy and he ate TONS of it.

Lakers beat the Atlanta Hawks, 99-98.  A close and exciting game.  What a memorable experience for my boy and his granddad!

Birthday Brunch

"Went to Nick's on 2nd in Long Beach for a yummy breakfast. #thisiswhat40lookslike"
We made last minute plans, late Saturday night, to meet up for brunch on Sunday.  Long Beach is the half way point for all of us.  This was our first time to Nick's on 2nd.  Grandmere and I shared the fried chicken with waffles, yum!  There coffee is good  too.  We'll definitely go back.
Took pictures all around the table.  Beginning with the pint-sized people, who are all sitting together. They huddle as close together as possible, even though there was plenty of room on that side of the booth.  They like to be close, the closer the better.  Connor and Rett shared the ipad, while Delaney told me about her Irish step dancing.  Too cute!
A few more shots.  All good, except the one of Mere and Pere with the server prepping something in the kitchen, nuts!  Also, I've just realized, Uncle John didn't make it in.  He is in the boy-girl pictures below though.
All the girls in the family together.  I can't believe how tall my niece is getting!


Getting a shot of all the guys in the family wasn't as easy *snicker*.  Check out these faces.  Oh the torture of having to be photographed....you'd think we'd asked them to eat dirt or something.


I also got a special birthday shout out from Cousin Jen.  Don't miss it.  She even talks about my birthday back in 2010.
