Grandparents Day


'Grandpa' Uncle Jay came to the kids school for Grandparents day!
The kids say that 'Grandpa' Uncle Jay is their substitute Grandpa.
Ethan says that he's the assistant Grandpa.
Whatever he is, we think that he does a good job and we appreciate him!
Thanks 'Grandpa' Uncle Jay!

Carsten and Grandpa Uncle Jay had a good time playing games together.

Bradon interviewed Grandpa Uncle Jay 
asking him what things were like when he was a kid.

Ethan showed Grandpa Uncle Jay his Mac and all the sound effects on garage band.




After all the fun and excitement of Grandparents day
 we went to Kountry Korner for a beer (soda).
Grandpa Uncle Jay taught the kids all sorts of fun things like:
Railroad crossing without any cars, can you spell that without any R's?
And he showed them a trick twirling a pen in his hands.  The kids wanted to learn how to do it so bad.  He showed them over and over again and told them that if they could figure it out and do it, then he would buy them some chicken strips.  Ethan was hungry and that's all the motivation it took.  He finally figured it out and Grandpa Uncle Jay was true to his word and chicken was had by all!
It was a good day and I think that everyone had a great time!
Thanks again Uncle Jay, you're a real good 'Grandpa'!

Oh, I love my daddy. I am happy he can be someones grandpa when we are so far away. Eli misses him a lot. He always says papa Jay and wants to see him.

This is my Uncle Jay. Jay is my dad's little brother. They are exactly 8 years apart in age to the very day. Jay lives here in Highland and we have taken him on as our substitute grandpa. He takes care of us like a dad or a grandpa would. We love him!
