Proud father moments

[Stephen]

He needs a muscle car or Jeep or Toyota/Cruiser calendar from everyone here so you don't corrupt him with your weird vehicle ways

Oh, its way too late. His Hot Wheels collection is quite eclectic. His favorites to play with currently are a Mitsubishi 3000GT and an Acura Integra GS-R. And its not just me, @bobn brought him an Audi Quattro Sport today.

Does it help that his room is adorned with Laguna Seca Trans-Am race posters from the late '60's and early 70's which feature Mustang's and Camero's? Oh, and most importantly, an AMX.

Hey, lots of domestically available products there. Kudos to you (probably your wife ) (hope @bobn is doing well. Haven't ran into him for a while)

Picked up the six year old from school and Social D came on the radio. She asked if it was one of my favorite songs. Of course I said yes and her reply was “mine too”. Must be doing something right. 😎

My son, 11, did his first competitive race over the weekend.
He made it one loop and was very tired, but chose to go out on loop 2, even after his friend chose not to go back out.
It was 26 miles total, just shy of 2 hours. He wasn’t ‘fast’ by any means, but he was riding his personal best for sure. Longest he’s ever done in a day.

That’s awesome. Jacks first race on a 65 was at the rhino. He made it 2 but pulled over at the end of the second to wait for the leaders. We used to have to bribe him to ride…….now look at him

Went to st George over presidents weekend for my kids baseball tournament. We got beat down but still had a good time. Kids are awesome!

These boys of mine are pretty rad dudes. They help each other and they know how to do basic dude stuff. We spent today putting new flooring in the oldest's house.

So Katelynn decided to enter the Miss Hurricane Pageant. Her talent was her off roading success in which we made a collaboration video of her driving. Proud daddy moment the entire night but I yelled very loud when they came down to the last 2 and she was not named first attendant meaning she won. Couldn't have been prouder and brought me to tears.

Loved her confidence in front of the camera. Good job dad and mom

I'm in New York right now visiting my daughter and her newborn and 18 month old. Seeing her deal with a jealous older daughter while she breast-feeds the son with such patience and love makes me so proud of her! I can't imagine how tough it is for her. All her family is in Utah and her husband is a doctor resident that works long hours. I don't know how they do it but they are awesome! The older daughter is named Ren and the baby boy is Kai (husband is chinese).

All my kids and their families were at our house for the weekend when a friend called asking me to take a look at their goat who was having a very difficult labor.

My oldest daughter, who is a second year veterinary student, joined me on the farm call.

It was awesome to see her jump right in on the case. She is in the middle of a course on ruminant medicine and has had recent lectures and labs on delivery of the calf/kid. To see her with no hesitation reach in and work to reposition the kid so it was properly into the birth canal was awesome.

Sadly the kids was far too large to be delivered, and an at-the farm C-section delivered a deceased baby (and the mom, who was in pretty bad shape by the time of surgery) passed the next day.

 

[UNSTUCK]

Well, she’s 18 today. We had to start her off right when it comes to making bad adulting decisions. I guess my wife only has me to blame! 😎

Did I ever show you guys these?
This is my dad, my older brother (6), and myself in spring of 81 (I was like 6 months).
And myself, and my kids at 6 years and 6 months in fall of 18. Same place.

My dad died in 2008 and my mom has been pretty sad ever since, so I took this and framed them together for her as an excuse to show her what a chunk of sexy man she birthed. Or something.

 

[Tonkaman]

That’s awesome 😎

Your dad was ROCKING that hat.

That's cool.

My daughter is almost 11 months, and still doesn’t crawl, but if you hold her hands, she’ll walk. So I stopped by Home Depot, got some stuff, and whipped this up today. I need to replace the crosses on the back with couplers, and I’m trying to find miniature tennis balls to put on the back to round it off.
And yes, she actually is using it, although not completely on her own just yet.

My oldest graduated with his Bachelor's today. Fun to see your kids grow up and be responsible adults.

I can't believe how fast my kids have grown up!

End of season showcase for the local tumbling class. This little girl of mine has improved so much and keeps getting stronger!
