Proud father moments

UNSTUCK

But stuck more often.
Oh, I know. He has plenty of 'Merican cars as well. But in addition to learning the make and model, he's also learning which ones are cool and desirable. So if he grabs say a '68 Chevy Camero and a '94 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4, he learns that the 3000GT is the fun, exciting car.

You've really got to get this stuff in their head when they're young otherwise they'll end up making poor life decision later and buying things like Pontiac Bonneville's and wearing white New Balances. Can't have that!
My nephew is 17 and can have about any car he wants. He’s been driving a Tacoma, but recently decided he’s a car guy. Now he’s driving a Chevy Sonic. I had to revoke his dads man card.

Is it at least a Sonic RS Turbo? I drove a Holden Barina (the Aussie version) around New South Wales for a week once. With the manual, it was spunky enough for a little econo-box. I always thought the RS would make a decent autocrosser, a lower cost alternative to a Ford Fiesta ST.

My daughter has been putting in lots of hard work on the bike lately. This weekend she raced a Grand Prix in mesquite.

She finished 1st in girls (12-16) then raced again for the first time in the woman’s class (C) and got another 1st place.

She checked off a personal goal of hitting a big step up jump that they use to launch bikes from the motocross track out into the desert. Not too many mini bikes are hitting that jump so it was pretty awesome to see her go for it. (Even though it ended up in a splatter 😆)

She’s the tiny airborne dot at the top

After the race we went to the UMORA 2023 season awards banquet. Even though she attended very few UMORA races last year we were shocked to find out she still ended up 2nd overall in girls 12-16. This lit a fire in her to hit more of these races and get that jacket next year.

WOW!!!! I'm sure I've not seem him for 6-8 years!!!! Congrats to all!
Thanks! He has grown a lot and works his butt off each day before and after school. Between track and academics he will make money while going to school. He will defer for a mission and UVU committed to 5 years of school paid for after he gets home to take into account his redshirt year. It is likely he will be able to graduate with his masters degree all for free!!! We are excited he decided on a place so close to home.

My 5 y/o can't hold his bladder at night. We've tried everything...cutting off liquids, the "therapee" buzzer thing, getting him up when we go to bed to pee once more. Still pees 5 out of 7 nights a week. He also doesn't seem to give a shit about wearing a diaper to bed, so why should he care?

Saturday night he didn't want a diaper. He said "I don't need no diaper. I'm good, I won't pee. Trust me". The next morning, he gets up and I see that he's dry and I was going to give him a high five. He just said "I know, I told you I wouldn't pee" and just walks by me like he's annoyed I even questioned him. Total BS.

Night 2 was a different story, but for one night, the little meatball had me thinking he was in control the entire time and just messing with me these last couple years. Is it bad that I'm thankful he peed the bed on night two? lol

A little golf outing after school today. Her uncle gave her the youth clubs last year and she was totally stoked to play.... twice. 😂 She seems a little more into it so far this year. We’ll see. She is very excited and makes a lot of improvement each time we go out. It won’t be long before she exceeds my teaching skills. IMG_0251.jpegIMG_0257.jpeg
