Happy Grandparents Day! I love you all!
XOXO Hattie



So Hattie may not yet know how amazing her grandparents are, but Brent and I do!



I have practically grown up seeing my parents be grandparents ( I became and aunt at the age of 10 : )). Grandma Jean and Grandpa John are definetly the " cool and fun" grandparents! Grandpa John loves joking around with his grandkids. He is also known to take the kids on rides around the block in his riding lawnmower!! Grandma Jean isn't the typical grandma, come on she just ran in her third half marathon....how many people can say their grandma does marathons?!?! Grandma Jean loves being with her grankids whether it's taking them shopping, going on long bike rides, or just listening to them tell their stories...she is always there for all of them. Some people are suprised when I say that Hattie is their 8th grandchild....I guess they are surprised that she can be so spoiled when they have so many other grandkids. I think they could have 100 grandkids and they would all be spoiled and loved!!


Nana Cathy and Papa Rick are also amazing grandparents. We have watched them be grandparents to Jaron for the last 7 years....and we know any kid would be lucky to have them as grandparents. The only way I can really explain Cathy is being the kind of grandma that are described in stories, just that "stereotypical" kind of Grandma. Cathy will go out of her way for anyone. She is such a caring and loving person. I know she is going to love starting traditions with Hattie just like she does with Jaron. Hattie's Papa Rick is somebody that everyone loves....especially kids! I am sure he will have a special way of talking and interacting with Hattie, just like he does with Jaron. Papa will probably love taking Hattie outdoors and to coffee group when she is older!


Hattie is also so lucky to have great -grandparents that she has already got to meet. Great-grandma Lois just turned 97, and still has the best memory. She has never forgotten her grandchildrens' birthday ( and she has LOTS of grandchildren) and she always sends a 2 dollar bill in a card on each birthday. Great Papa Cliff and Sarah already adore little Hattie! I am sure Hattie will look forward to visits to Colorado to see them!


Thinking about Hattie's wonderful grandparents makes me think of all the wonderful memories I have being with my grandparents when I was younger. I really miss my grandma and grandpa Lakner. I just know that Grandma Wilma would have been crazy for Hattie if she was still alive!


There is just a way that grandparents can make their grandchildren feel special in a way that no one else can! I look forward to Hattie seeing what amazing grandparents she has! She is so lucky!!
