My daughter just started college this year. She's taking Psychology, Sociology, Ethics, and Human Sexuality.

She's a hell of a guitarist / song writer, and an even better photographer / artist.

She was planning to study photography and journalism, but her buddy Carl Stone talked her out of it. Smile

My son just started his second year of high school, and has made it through his first week without a single detention!

He's good at everything he tries, but being ADHD, he doesn't stick to anything long enough to be great at it, although the potential is obvious.

He has consistently tested in the 98th percentile in all subjects, and has scored over 130 on several IQ tests.

Last year was his first year of all As and Bs, and I'm hoping he'll continue the trend...

Here's my most recent picture of the brats:

My boy thinks since everything is made in China there must be lots of jobs there. He says he is moving ther when he turns 18. This is all part of his get rich slow plan.

He is 9 but it looks like I may be taking care of him for a really long time.

My daughter is at NYU, doing awesome. Love her to death. 1 downfall, she has taken her MX roots to the Big Apple. She has bought herself a Street legal KTM 450 SMR, that she is leg extending/extreme leaning corners throughout the East Village. She makes me cringe, but she's got skills.

My boy is a typical 15 year old, but I love him. He races MX and has a sexy little Puerto Rican girlfriend who I'm trying to keep him from knocking up. He has a fresh fuckin mouth at times and he makes aggressive moves on the track when we train together. I really think he's attempting to take me out. It's a lose/ lose situation for me. If I take him out, I still pay for the bike repairs.

My princess/kitten just moved back in from college. She was on the Deans list all the way through. She just got a job in LA doing events with an event planner. Her first was last weekend a charity Vball tourney with Soap stars and ProVballers. I hope it works out for awhile and she gets good connections. That world is ruthless so we will see.
She is the one on the right. Thats her mister wonderful in the middle and his sister on the left.

My boys are 8 & 10. They both got straight A's on their mid-term reports. My 10 year old is a great catcher and he is the starting QB for his peewee (10 & 11 year olds) football team. He has scored all three of his team's touchdowns this season. He rides pretty good too when his lazy assed father will take him.

My 8 year old plays running back, defensive end, and safety on the supergrasscutter (8 & 9 year olds) team. He just moved up and is stuck behind two older (both just turned 10) kids on the depth chart but he will be the man next year when they move up.

12yr old girl, 10yr old boy, and 6yr old girl...

2 oldest are black belts in Taekwondo as is their mother. Nothing worse than being 6' 2" 230 lbs with a 100 lb 4' 10" wife that could kick you in the face if she wanted to.

The girls play soccer, basketball, gymnastics. I bet we spend over $50 a week in gas carting them all over over town day in and day out!

The boy is chomping at the bit to get a bike but we've held him off until he's 12 to encourage other sports and interest. He's an excellent baseball and basketball player. I'm confident he'll only want to ride once he gets a pony. Just like dad did....

The two that get grades make straight A's and it appears like the youngest is just as smart.

We are very blessed!














And the then there's the red headed step child...

Joking, no step kids....

WOW, you guys really have good looking kids. How did kids get so nice looking all of a sudden. JonJon's kids look like the Kennedy family, for god sakes. And Golden State, that first day at school pic is a reason to smile through a crappy day. Really there isn't a homely kid in the entire thread. Lucky dudes, that's for sure.

I remember when I was a kid, everyone was ugly. Kids today don't even have zits. I once had a pimple...with a zit on it. Most kids on my block looked as if they had Down Syndrome. Not today!! There is a better breed today.

HAR!

I'm a bit smaller than you (6' 1" 190), but my wife is almost exactly your wife's size.

No Taekwondo, but she was a gymnast and a cheerleader in her previous life, and I know damned well she could roundhouse kick me upside the head if the mood struck her.

Those are some good kids you've got there.

Keep up the good work.

This might be a little long, but it's my biggest acomplishment.

Lisa (29) is Daddy's little girl. She graduated UNR with a degree in Elementary Education and works for an engineering firm. She is happily married and is a great Mom to my other little girl, Jaida. Lisa is the smart one in the family and the most stable with nice cars and house.





My oldest son Chris (25) graduated from Humboldt State with a degree in Children Recreation. He works in Bend Or. at a place called Sagewalk, it's a wilderness school for troubled teens. He also raft guides in the summer in Alaska. With these jobs you live on site, so he really never has a house. He only works 7-8 months a year and travels the world the other 4-5.





Ben (24) graduated TMCC Fire School and for the last year has been a Wildland Firefighter with Tahoe/Douglas hand crew. Before this he had worked for my sister as a journeyman HVAC installer/tech for 5 years. He's one of my boys that races, but with so much school and work lately, he hasn't raced in almost a year. This winter he's taking a page out of his brother book and taking a few months off to go travel.





Then there is Aaron (14), he lives with his Mom, and loves to hunt, fish, trap and be outside like his brothers. Last spring he killed a 150lbs pig with a bow. He's a freshman in high school and today they told him he reads in the top 93 percentile, which translates to junior level. He also races and mountain bikes a lot and loves to make/invent stuff.

I am sick of all the BS around here time for a fun one.

My oldest daughter is in her second semester of college and is going for an accounting degree. She is a single mom and is doing a great job as a mom and at school.

My number 2 daughter just started a new job yesterday after getting laid off 2 weeks ago and never even collected on her unemployment. She is paying all her bills for her and her BF(looser). And is going to start her nursing degree in January.

Number 3 daughter is a freshman and although she didn't make the Volley ball team is the equipment manager for the Football team. She is a real Tomboy. She is also fitting in well at a country school after leaving all her freinds in the city.

Number 4 is her class representative for her class in the student council. New school also. She is doing Gymnastics at a private place so hopefully she can make the team in HS.

They all ride dirt bikes and love camping and watersports. we will be hanging out this weekend at the lake and my place. I can't wait.

One very proud Papa!

Sounds like some wonderful young ladies Cyg.

I just bought my son a Yamaha TTR90 for his 8th birthday. I've been taking him to the local MX track and I have to say, it's one of my most proudest moments watching him ride. And he seems to be a natural at it. I got him started on a quad when he was 3 just to get him used to the gas and brake stuff.. Now he's shreddin on the little 90. Just thought I would share!

I have a a mini-me and my wife does too. Its really weird, Jett, my oldest is the spitting image of me, not mom at all; and Hudsen is blond haired and blue eyed as they get, like his mom.


Hudsen just turned 1 and his major accomplishment thus far is making me smile everytime I look at him.



Jett is almost 4 and just started pre-school. Kid is already cooler than I ever was.

This is him when we were out wakeboarding a few weeks back.

#1 Went right out of HS into the Army. Did 3 years with the 82nd Airborne (11-hotel). Got out, joined the National Guard and went to college and graduated summa cum laude with a double major (Soc/Psych). Couple years later got a second degree in Computer Science. Works as the IT for an advertising firm and teaches computer classes at a local business college. Married, owns his own home and my first grandchild is on the way.

#2 Spent his first summer out of HS at a Naval base in Japan as a camp counselor for military kids. Joined Americore and did a year of National service. Got his wildlands firefighting red card and spent 3 seasons as a Hotshot (Federal Wildlands Firefighter). Got hired on the FIre Department for the City of Denver. Serious rock climber and just got an article published for a climbing magazine. Spent last week on Lake Powell helping with a program that takes handicaped folks out fishing and skiing. Owns his own home but having waaay too much fun as a young fireman in Denver to settle down to one woman.

Sorry, the thread title said I could.Smile

Can't pass this thread up... My daughter, 25 (the oldest) graduated OU with her Masters and is an OT specializing in hand therapy/rehabilitation. She and my son in law has blessed me with a beautiful grandbaby this past December.

My oldest son is in the USAF he is stationed in Alaska and is pcsing to Aviana Italy shortly. He restores bikes and wants to open his own shop one day. Than there is my middle son - he used to race mx and is still trying to find "his way", he fills his time with skateboarding....although he misses racing dearly.

My "baby" is my trumpet player - he loves music. He will be going to BOA in St. Louis this Oct. His first trip away from home (and Mom).

Some pics. at my daughter's wedding two years ago.
