I just wanted to take the time to write about the people that I love, and why I love them and what not. and i figured now would be a good time to do so because their birthdays were last week.

First of all, Grandpa Bandit (papa). Papa turned 81 on Thursday, and I am really grateful that he is around! I remember all the time I used to spend with him when I was in elementary school and how he would cut apple for my snacks and let me watch TV after I was done with my homework. When I think of why my grandpa is so special to me, I think of all the things that he does for me and my family, like take us to school, taking care of us while mom and dad were at work, taking us to get haircuts when my brother and I were really little. I think the thing that i miss most is going to church and sitting with him on Sunday mornings. My job at church requires me to be in Fresno for the mornings on Sundays so there really isn't any practical way for this to happen, at least for the foreseeable future.
Anyway Papa is an ornry old dutch man and its pretty funny when he gives people a hard time. He's very particular, so sometimes it's a little frustrating whenever I help around the house or something, but the time spent with him is well worth it! I hope that Papa is around for many more years to come cause I love him so much!

The other person that I would like to write about is the grasshopper's little Cee. she too had a birthday on thursday. Its amazing how goofy and cute Grasshopper's little girls are! Cee especially. It's a weird experience watching your cousins grow up, I vaguely remember when Cee was born and I got to hold her! But then I dropped her and haven't been able to hold a baby ever since. maybe thats why Cee is especially silly... Just kidding, that never happened.

anyway those are some of the people I love!!! peace and carrots y'all
Bandit Out...
