happy grandparent's day!

i was just writing something on my calendar when i noticed that today says "GRANDPARENTS DAY". i am not sure if this is a holiday or something (sorry if i dropped the ball), but i just happened to notice it. so here is a shoutout... a happy grandparents day to all the grandparents in my life!

grandma porter-
she keeps me on my toes, keeps me laughing, tells me how much she loves me every time i see her, encourages me to develop my talents

grandpa koerner-
we didn't get to see grandpa as much since he lived further away, but he always let us raid his snacks which were clearly "HIS" snacks. among the list, includes fritos, oatmeal cookies from the box, and corn-nuts. he makes sure he sends us a christmas gift every year, and always gives us a great big bear hug when we see him.

grandma and grandpa porter (my parents)-
porter loves seeing grandma and grandpa and all of the love and attention that they show him. he loves taking the lime light when he is in their presence and i can tell that he enjoys showing off for them. i know how much they love him because they now sometimes forget to ask how we are doing and ask all about porter. he's my pride and joy so i am more than willing to share. i love that.

grandma and grandad robbins (jared's parents)-
porter had the privilege of having his grandparents stay in his home for a couple weeks before they left on their mission. this was when he began to call all grandmas and grandpas "umpa". he would jump up and down every time they got home from the MTC. they always like to take him with them on errands without us so that they have his 100% attention. like my parents, they think porter is a special little guy and we of course couldn't agree more.

we are blessed to have such great grandparents in our lives, and hope you all had a wonderful "GRANDPARENTS DAY" even if you're like me you didn't even know it existed! love you all.
