Visiting Grandpa and Grandma Vanderbilt
Yesterday we went to visit my Grandpa and Grandma Vanderbilt. While we were there we needed to go up into their attic where I have some stuff stored. The kids have never been up into an attic before so they thought it was so cool. We have stuff stored like my 2 sets of China, our crib and changing table and baby toys. The boys discovered Darrick's trumpets and enjoyed trying to play them!
It was so hot in the attic and the kids were ready to cool off. They went swimming in the pool that Uncle Marv put up. My Grandma and I sat on the patio and watched them wearing our shades!

After swimming Uncle Marv got out some stilts that my brothers use to walk around on. After watching Uncle Marv for awhile, Micah decided that he wanted to give it a try.
Grandpa was keeping busy puttering from here to there and changing his hats!
On our way home we couldn't get over how beautiful the mountains were. The pictures don't do them justice but they still look nice. My parents still live in the house I grew up in and it is located in the foothills of the mountains.

Grandpa Vanderbilt turns 98
At the end of last week, my Grandpa Vanderbilt celebrated his 98Th birthday. My mom invited her parents and brother over for a BBQ to celebrate the special day. Micah and Jacob were right there to be Papa's assistants. They said they were wearing goggles to keep the smoke out of their eyes.
The food was delicious and my grandparents said they enjoyed it so much! After dinner my Grandpa and Grandma were able to talk to my brother Jeff and his wife Beth on Skype. Jeff and Beth live in New Jersey. Skype just amazes my grandparents and they talk about how they can't believe technology. My Grandpa was born in 1911 and has seen a lot of changes in his life.
My mom's brother, Uncle Marv, was able to meet Naomi for the first time. She had a lot of fun playing with him. And Grandpa and Grandma always enjoy seeing her.
We all sang him Happy Birthday and then they blew out the candles together. It took a few tries but they finally did it!
Happy Birthday Grandpa and many more!
