HAPPY BIRTHDAY Grandma "Pooper!" a.k.a. Grandma Koos

Happy Birthday Grandma!! We Love You!!

As many of you know, all of the grandchildren call Jim and Katie, Grandma and Grandpa "Pooper." Some of you may ask yourself where this strange, but endearing name came from. When Austin was just starting to to talk, he would always ask to go over to "Pooper's" (Jim and Katie's dog at the time), house and visit. We finally figured out that it wasn't really Pooper that he wanted to visit, but that he wanted to go over and see Grandma and Grandpa. The name has stuck for all of these years, through seven adorable grandkids. We love you very much Grandma, and cannot tell you how much we appreciate all that you do for our family. You truly are the BEST Grandma in the world. Thanks for always making us feel so special, and taking the time to be there for us. We also wanted to thank you for all of the memorable special holiday traditions; i.e. pumpkin carving, gingerbread houses, 4th of July at Murray Park, "special days" just because, and more sleepovers than you can ever imagine!! We feel so honored and blessed to be a part of your family.

Tell Catie "Happy Birthday!" Lish, just want you to know how lucky you are to have such a wonderful 2nd mom. (Can't say mother-in-law because she is more than that.) So special that she takes such good care of you, Shaun and kids. And that she treats you like her own. What a neat lady. Glad you guys had a fun day. Your kids pictures on the side are soooo cute!
