HaPPy BirTHdAY GrAndPA PoPS!

My dads birthday is the day after Rori's birthday. The quads is July 29, Rori's is July 30, and my dads is July 31.

Grandpa Pops is the best dad and grandpa you could ever ask for. If anything needs fixed, made or built, he can do it! He is one of those guys that knows everything and can do everything. If I ever have a question Grandpa Pops is who I ask. I think he knows more than google too.


My kids love him. They think that he owns every tool, tractor and truck in the world. They tell everyone that we meet all about him too. It's fun watching and listening to them.


Grandpa Pops is a great big teddy bear. He has the softest and biggest heart, especially where his grandbabies are concerned. He loves all of them and has so much fun with them. We are so grateful for Grandpa Pops.


Love you Dad!

Grandpa Pops got a waffle cake for his Birthday Cake. They left our house in the morning on his birthday.

Wedding Luncheon

We made it to the luncheon just a little bit late. I think the lunch was pretty much over by the time we got there. All the good food, utensils, and tables were gone. The good part was everyone that we wanted to see was there. My Grandpa Tom, my dads dad, was there. This was his first time meeting his great grand children. He had a walking stick that the boys loved, of course.

Meeting Great Grandpa Tom

Grandpa told me the first thing the boys did was steal his stick and stomp it on his foot. Poor Gramps.

Those faces look so full of mischief!

Giving someone the "what for"!

Amber and Jaileigh with Anthony laughing wildly and Annie trying to pull my skirt off.

The kids were pretty tired and ready to go. We ended up leaving before the party was over. Once my kids started having a water fight we decided it was time to go.

These two found the pole to be very entertaining. They played peek-a-boo for quite awhile.

Christmas

Christmas morning was so exciting. The kids slept in and then when they did get up we waited upstairs until we were all ready. The missionaries came over to witness the kids opening gifts. It was chaos! They opened everything even if it wasn't theirs. We ate Amish Breakfast Casserole for breakfast, weeded the yard, played, and just enjoyed each other. It was so nice to have gram and gramps and Rori there. It was a perfect day.

Sorry mom but I love this picture. The quads got underwear in their stockings and Jai had to put every single pair (8) on over her PJ's. We weeded the yard after eating breakfast. It was fun.

Rori and Mike weeding

Putting together the new table. Grandpa had plenty of help.

Hanging out at the end of the day. AAAHHhhhh so much fun!
