Proud father moments

Can I post a proud husband moment?

My wife and I are in Virginia for some business, and we were talking to the owner of a boxing gym who invited her over for some coaching and classes. We had to be here at 5:45 this morning to fit it in.. but she been in there killing it while I sip Mountain Dew in the car like a simp.
She’s been busting her butt for about 3 years in the gym 6 days a week. She’s become a whole new person, and it’s fun to watch her grow and become confident in who she is and wants to be.
I don’t often get to see her being confident like this.

But I’m for sure not going to be sassy today. I don’t need a black eye.

I was told we almost had a repeat of a couple years ago with your kid taking off down the road. :rofl:
My kid? I heard some other kid tried to do the same thing as my kid did a couple years ago. I didn't realize one of them did it again. 😂 That corner has even a problem for some tired adults when I've worked that crossing in years past. 😄

Edit: I just asked them. I think one did indeed go down the road, but hey at least he turned around this time. Some other kid about made it partway to the Creek they said.

My daughter, Cedar, received a small scholarship which is pretty great for a freshman. She was so nervous and went through the whole application process by herself. She is the one in the white sweater. So proud of her!

I don't know what is cooler, having grand kids or watching your kids be awesome parents! My daughter absolutely amazes me how great of a mom she is. She has even instilled a love of motorcycles in my grandson at 1.5 years old. He wouldn't get off. My son in law and I had to take shifts driving him around the block. It might be genetic but still!

Don’t tell me these things- we have one of those in the box waiting for the right warm weekend day.
It maybe would have gone faster if I had the right fitting to use my big 2 way raft pump, but all I had were foot pumps and a 12v inflatable mattress pump. Neither were fit for the job.

A week before the DCRC my oldest daughter (14 years old) mentioned she wanted to compete in my moonbuggy this year in Delta. I immediately went into building mode and fabbed up some pedal extensions and modified a few things so it was easier for her to drive. Being that I am one of the promoters and can’t compete in my own event she opted to have my older brother spot for her in the new Buggy lite rear steer class. Well….. she crushed it and won by almost 60 points.

Proud dad here to say the least.

UNSTUCK

But stuck more often.
So Lucas and I are not hikers. Plain and simple. We prefer horsepower to manpower. It does not help that he is only 12 years old and about 25 pounds heavier than me. Our deacons group hiked down the Mogollon Rim to Horton Springs. The trail is only 1 mile long, but drops about 1200 vertical feet. Both of us were totally done after just the decent. It took About an hour and a half to get to the springs. We hung out for a bit and eat oranges and refilled our water bottles where the spring came out of the mountain. Then we started back up. It was slow going but we made it. The “trail” is not much of anything. Rough rocks almost the entire way. We lost the trail several times. It was bad. I kept wondering if a helicopter would even be able to get to us. I walked behind him with my hands on his hips most of the time. We made it to the top in just under three hours. We gave each other a big hug and talked about doing hard things and remembering this for ever.

Us close to the trailhead. The spring was down in the valley in about the middle of this picture.
