Example it!!!

So today is my Dear OLD Dad's birthday, yes I remembered it, because there was a little birdy (a little 6 year old birdy who I talked to yesterday) that told me I had better remember Grandpa's birthday tomorrow.

Lainee went out to Grandma and Pappy's with her cousin Katie to spend some of their spring break together without us :(  So as I was on the phone with her she was telling me all about her day and how Grandma Robin had taken them to get kid's meals at McDonalds and she got apples in her meal.  She also said that Grandma took them to Jubilee's and she knows that Grandpa Merkley works there, so she went to see if he was there and try to surprise him, which it turns out that she and Katie were able to scare him, of course you can't go see Grandpa without getting a treat and knowing how much Lainee loves Grandpa's jerky; that is the treat she got from him, she then proceeded to tell me that he gave her special jerky at that she is suppose to "example it" for him, and let him know if she liked it or not.  You know what I get a kick out of; that even as Lainee is telling me this story I can see the twinkle in my Dad's eye, and the surprise he felt seeing my little Lainee and how excited she gets to spend time with any of her grandparents.  

So from all of us here in Tooele,

(that is until Tomorrow when we see you)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA

(aka Dad)

WE LOVE YOU!!!

p.s. Thank you for being an example to me, for showing me how to work hard and dream big!!!
