Grandpa Heiss




Last night we had a nice surprise visit with Grandpa Heiss.  He stopped in for dinner and got to spend some time with Emily.  Emily was talking his ear off, singing Happy Birthday to him, singing her ABC's and showed him all her new tricks he hasn't seen yet.  She showed grandpa how she plays ball, kicking it, throwing it and trying to play catch with him.  Emily showed grandpa her new dance moves (including her "wiggle wiggle") and how she jumps "real high!"  

Emily also showed how she rides her horse Mocha, feeds it apples, and bounces on it's back, the only issue is now she wants to ride it with "no hands."  We had to explain if she doesn't hang on then she can't ride the horse, and after we enforced the new rule, she quickly caught on and is back to hanging on to Mocha's ears.  Jim's dad explained how Emily's persistence comes from the Heiss's, I didn't argue because everyone knows I don't have a stubborn bone in my body.  ha ha

At dinner she was telling grandpa all the veggies came from the garden, even the rolls almost came from the garden.  Emily ate her half of an ear of corn in record time and stopped between bites to tell us "it's so yummy!"
