Great job Ryan

We bought an easel/chalkboard for the boys for Christmas and today we did a FaceTime video and Ryan showed how well he is writing.   

He wrote his name, papa, nana, Bailey so clearly. Great job Ryan!   

 

60th Birthday Surprise Party

in ,

My daughter Jennifer sure can plan an event. I had no idea there was going to be a surprise 60th birthday party at her house, since my birthday was on the 31st, it made it even bigger surprise. My brother Jack came out from Dallas, and few friends from El Segundo PD came.

She had a blackjack table set up, and lots of food. Great time had by all!

Happy Halloween 2017!

Jenn and Neil came out this weekend and Bobby and Phil were here, so they were able to spend time with the boys. Little did we know that this would be the last time Roberta would see the great grandkids. She passed away less than 3 weeks later from a massive stroke.

First Kings game with Ryan

We took Ryan to his first Kings game yesterday. He had a great time and enjoyed meeting Bailey the Kings mascot.

Happy Halloween 2016!

Came out for Halloween as we had to see what Ryan was this year. He’s a construction worker, as he loves watching the videos of excavators and construction.

Jenn is 2 weeks from giving birth to our grandson and walked the neighborhood also, what a trooper!!
