Birthday and a Visit October 2012

October 2013

It's hard to believe that Luke is going to be 1 year old.  We made our travel plans and arrived on Thursday the 4th.  It had only been 3 months since we saw him but he is changing so much.  On Thursday night we watched USC play Utah.  I have my "Keep Calm and Fight On" shirt.

                                                             Hanging out with Grandpa.

Playing at the Mall on Friday.  Friday night we went to David and Courtney's place. They ordered the famous Cowboy Chicken Enchiladas for dinner.  Very very good.

On Saturday morning we went to Courtney and David's house.  Courtney picked out her dress for the wedding in April and Bridget wanted to see it.  For breakfast we went to Kuby's.  Amazing place.  David and I went before without the girls.  After breakfast we went to the dress place but they were having a trunk sale so the girls have to come back tomorrow.

They say it's your birthday
We're gonna have a good time
I'm glad it's your birthday
Happy birthday to you

Jen and Brian had a little party scheduled on Saturday. Luke's Texas relatives were coming.  Brian's Mom and Dad from Waco.  Brian's sister's family, the Heppells also from Waco and Courtney and David.

Courtney and Bridget went back to the dress place on Sunday.  I watch football while David worked.  Big problem at his work.  Later Courtney came over to Jen and Brian's house for dinner, but David was still working.

Had to say goodbye and go back to San Diego.


Standing in the hall of fame
And the world is gonna know your name
Cuz you burn with the brightest flame
And the world's gonna know your name
And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame

Noah came home for a visit.  Now that Christmas is being spent in Texas it had almost been 2 years since Noah was home.  Noah got in on Friday the 19th.  When he was making his plans we told him we were seeing The Script on Friday at Humphrey's Concerts by the Bay.

Humphrey's is very intimate with only 1400 seats outside.  We had great seats.  I had been listening to them all week.  They were one of Bridget's favorites but I was not that familiar with them.

 

Came out in the crowd and was very close to us.

Connie, Russ, Christine and Betsy came down on Saturday to see Noah.  We went to the Rancho Bernardo Winery and just had a good time.

  Noah left Tuesday night the 23rd to go back to Louisville.

August & Sept 2012

August 2012

And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you
Spinning on that dizzy edge
                       The Cure

Well we finally were able to move back into our house.  Connie and Russ came down and helped to try and restore order from the chaos.  It was nice to sleep in our bed again and Summer and Salem finally got to get back to their routine.

Hawaii was set to play USC for the opening of football 2012.  We lobbied hard to get Courtney and David to visit and go to the game with us and the Browns.  They agreed and made travel plans. They arrived late on Thursday August 30.  In the meanwhile Connie got really sick and had to go to the hospital.  Stuff happens awful fast sometimes.

Court, David and Bridget went to lunch in La Jolla on Friday.  We made plans for the 4 of us to go to the game and then go over to see Connie and Russ after the game.

September 2012

We had lunch in the Founder's Club before the football game.  Nice buffet and relaxed before the game.  USC entered the game as #1 so expectations were high.  On the first play from scrimmage USC scored a 75 yard touchdown.  The rout was on as we won 49-10.  We drove over to our B and B in LaVerne.  Connie looked better but was still sick.

Sunday Christine and Betsy came over and we all got to see each other.  We drove home Sunday afternoon.

Courtney and David left Monday to go back to Dallas.  A quick but awesome visit.

Singing mercy will we overcome this
Oh one by one could we turn it around
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer
And I try to give you what you need

Bridget won tickets to see Dave Matthews Band at Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre.  It was a Friday night so Bridget met me and we drove down to Chula Vista together.  We had seats, not out on the lawn so that was nice.  In concert they are pretty much a jam band.  They had a new album out.  We were more familiar with the older stuff but it was good.
