This post is dedicated to Granddad. Because he is awesome.
Granddad just celebrated his 85th birthday last month. That day he bowled a 299. For those of you who don't know that is ELEVEN strikes in a row with the last shot dropping nine of the ten pins. While many people would be upset that the last single pin didn't fall Granddad was thrilled and says he "still has something to shoot for". Like we said he is awesome.
On Tuesday the Jazz dancer's preformed with their fathers. Jessica, our sister-in-law, invited granddad to dance with her. They only practiced a couple of times before they preformed and granddad was a little nervous. In fact he said he didn't sleep well the night before and woke up at 2am going over the moves. As you can see from the video the midnight practice payed off and he did great. And we are eternally grateful to Mandi's brother Justin for talking him into wearing the jersey without a shirt underneath...the sweatbands on the arms are a nice touch as well.
We have thousands of fun, endearing and hilarious memories of granddad and look forward to many more.

happy birthday to your grandpa!
Your mom just showed the front office this best ever home video. She tried to describe it to us, but the video explained things words can never express! I personally enjoyed the "gun show" at the end where he lets the world really see how tuff he is.
If you have a minute come take a peek at our blog

Mandi your granddad is sooo awesome! I love that he was going over dance moves in the middle of the night. And I love the no shirt under the jersey. He sounds like an incredible bowler too.
