My youngest boy shot in the Utah state cowboy action shoot last weekend. He took 1st in the youth class and 19th overall. My dad won the senior class. 3 of my boys have been state champions with their grandpa and 2 of those I was able to take state also. This kid can shoot better than his brothers though. He will be beating me before he can drive.
It has been a busy time for us with graduation and mission stuff. He is going to Quito Ecuador, by the way.
Crazy story though. His girlfriend opened her mission call last night. She got called to Quito Ecuador. The exact same mission! She enters the MTC the same day he leaves the MTC.

My good friends boy went there and totally loved it. The outskirts are crazy poor but kind. Good for him.

Chupacabra has been a sponsor of ours for a couple of years now. Katelynn did some modeling for them and then gave the owner a ride in the buggy. I was surprised at how excited he was and amazed at its abilities.

Jonah pitched for the first time yesterday. He’s been playing baseball for a long time.
I’m not a baseball fan and I haven’t been able to help him much.
Seeing that first strike out was pretty dang awesome though

Something awesome about youth baseball. It's not the parents that are awesome, they've totally f*cked that game up. (necessary apologies to sane parents that don't INSIST their kids is a future MLB player) Just something pure about being on the field and learning how a team works as other kids are learning with you.

RME kids are pretty kick ass people. People talk about "kids these days". I tell them they need to have better friends. All my friends, both internet and otherwise have pretty cool kids. Maybe that's because they have cool dads?

Amen to that. There are so many candy ass kids these days. Raising my glass to the great fathers of RME.

One common thing I see with people in this group is accountability.
I am pretty proud of how my kids turned
out. My dad’s friend got me involved with racing motorcycles because I was a handful. If I wanted to ride or race I had to be accountable for my actions. I did not understand that fully until I was an adult. This is the main reason I got both my son and daughter involved in racing. Over the last 15 years I have spent a retirements worth of money that I could have left for them on teaching them 1 thing…….how to fail and then get up and succeed. I have enjoyed that time and know that they will not need that money since they will be successful on their own.

I also think kids that do physically and mentally taxing things are just better people. Racing is physically hard and you absolutely will get hurt. Facing that willingly and for nothing other than the sense of accomplishment is probably a mental condition but it makes good people.

We took our Jr. and High School trap team to the state tournament in Boise last weekend.
2nd year in and the team took 2nd.
I am really proud of my own boys along with so many kids I consider "mine" while they are on the trap field.

These 2 have spent several days up on the roof working with me. This day we started at 5:30 am and knocked off at 6:30 pm. No complaints, just working. It was really nice to be able to work on fiddly things like vents (this house has 9 roof penetrations and 8 attic vents!) and have a bunch of shingles get laid while I was busy. Then my son went to camp for the weekend, so it was just my daughter and me on Friday and Saturday. Over 10 hour days both days.

I remember being forced to reroof our house by @bobn when I was 13. It was a good experience and I learned a lot. But my main takeaway was that given the choice between roofing and playing Command & Conquer: Red Alert, always choose the latter. 😁
I was not given a "choice"...

And this is why you live somewhere where there is no internet or phone service so your kids can be kids again without XBOX and social media.

Well, we have internet and phone, but not free access for the kids. This week it's my daughter's turn at camp so my son is doing the garage pretty much solo. We got the tar paper up on Monday night and he has been doing the shingles while I've been at work.

My big boys saved up and bought themselves bows and arrows. We taught them to shoot yesterday.
