Once upon a time there was one cute little boy who made frequent visits to the tall gray house on Eastpointe Circle. For four years this cute little boy named Zachary was the only grandson of the middle-aged man and the nice, sweet lady who lived in that house. For four years, this cute little boy was entertained, hugged, kissed, lavished with treats and gifts, photographed, and spoiled as much as possible by not only his adoring first-time grandparents, but also by his adoring first-time aunts and uncle.
But one fine fall Tuesday, October 11, 2005
that all changed when the first brother of Zachary . . . the second son of Emily and Keoni . . . and the second grandson of the new grandparents was born! His name was Brody!
Now the grandparents had twice as many grandchildren to try to spoil. Not only that, but more and more kept joining the family. Every single year, for a while at least, one more grandchild was born. By the time the year 2011 ended, they had 11 grandchildren! Their very first grandson (Zach) was 10 years old . . . their second and third grandsons (Brody and Jack) had started kindergarten . . . their fourth grandson (Coltin) had learned all the letters of the alphabet and how to write his name although he didn't start kindergarten until the next year . . . their fifth grandson (Eddy) loved to play "Legos Star Wars" and "Angry Birds" . . . their sixth grandson (Ryan) loved to be different superheroes with several costume changes throughout the day . . . their seventh grandson (Luke) was two years old and full of mischief . . . their eighth grandson (Wade) who was also two years old suddenly started talking and knew his full name, all his colors and a little counting . . . their ninth grandchild and only grand-daughter (Lindsay Lu) learned how to walk and was an especially cute waddling duck for Halloween that year . . . their tenth grandchild (Owen) was a cute baby who had just been born earlier in the year in March . . . and their tenth grandson and eleventh grandchild was born on 10-11-11. His name was Nash and he was born on a fine fall Tuesday exactly six years after his cousin Brody!

The Grandpa and Grandma weren't nearly as good at spoiling 11 grandchildren as they were at just one. But believe it or not, they love all of them as much as the first one even when they say things like "did you wipe off your hands?" . . . or "thanks for coming!" . . . and they truly hope they all grow up to live happily ever after!
Happy Birthday #2 and #11 !
(also known as Brody and Nash)
Love, Grandma
Grandson #2 is now a fifth-grader who loves to read, do art and science projects, but does not like seeing so much of his mother at school. After school he likes riding his bike, playing with Coco, and torturing Luke. He loves biscuits 'n gravy and any kind of pasta. He also likes doing "research" on Amazon around his birthday and Christmas to write epic wish lists. To see more pictures of Brody, click his name under "Labels".
Grandson #11 is a preschooler
who loves his Dad and baseball most of all. He also likes his Mom especially at bedtime. Right now he is rather picky about what he wears and what he eats, but he does like "Fruit Loops"! To see more pictures of Nash, click his name under "Labels".
