Got two. Daughter 12 & son 9. Son plays soccer. Daughter plays fastpitch softball almost year round and pitches a fastball clocked at 52 MPH!

Seems like we spend more weekends at ball fields than at home sometimes, but we're lovin' every minute of it!

So, what are your young'uns onto?

Both mine are grown Macon,but my son played baseball until his senior year in high school.

Daughter played a bit of softball and basketball.

Yeah, you're on the go a lot, but I miss it.

It's an old story-
In a small town there was this farmer who would charge people 50 cents to watch his bull with the cows in the spring. One day, a station wagon pulls in and a man gets out and asks the farmer "how much?" The farmer tells him "50 cents each"
The man then asks if there is a discount for his 10 children. The farmer says "10 children?"
"maybe you can let my bull watch you"

Was that you, Gene?
My children are into:

"I Love Rock 'n Roll, put another dime in the jukebox, baby!!!"

Love your kids while they are young, they have so much energy and are such inspirations to their parents. Hopefully they will pay you back, with interest!!!

geez Mean Gene... maybe you should get cable

Sparky I was thinking along the same lines.

Mean Gene must not really be mean.

Christina 5, Puzzles, Coloring and hanging out with me. I will enjoy it while she still wants to.

Jennifer 3, Dressing up, Dora the Explorer and driving her older sister crazy.

Yeah I started with kids late, I will be 40 this summer.

They can tire me out faster than a 12 hour day at work.

And I started out early. I'm 25, and I have four year old daughter and eight month old son.

Kaitlynn (4) likes to color and help mommy with cooking. She also likes to watch James Bond with the old man. Aaron (8 months) has many hobbies, including throwing up, crying, pulling my hair, making interesting diapers, and throwing food at me

Hmmmmm.......I guess I'm still just a kid myself. I'm 24, not married and no children, but considering marriage..........

Dr. No?

My stepdaughter, 18, is a real gem.
Going to college to become an English teacher, works the rest of the time at a preschool.
She's also a volunteer counselor for the YMCA camps.
Never has done drugs, drank a couple of beers at 16 and didn't like it.
(I just wish she wasn't so much more experienced, smarter, and wiser than her mom and I are with our combined nearly 100 years) of life...Only in her dreams ...I'm blessed...S

What a timely thread. 7 year old son just minutes ago completed his first electrical job. Made a circuit with a 6 volt battery, switch, and lamp holder. Very proud! 3 year old boy likes to drive big brother crazy!

Looks like I'm the old man here. Four boys,youngest 35, oldest is 44. 3 are truck drivers, love NASCAR, other is regional manager for PEPSICO. Nine grandchildren, ages 4 to 20. Kind of nice to be called Papaw. Got one in second grade, he can beat me at checkers every time!

Bob:


Yes, Dr. no. I have all 20 of the Bond films, from Dr. No to Die another day. My favorite is "From Russia with love", and Kait's favorite is "Goldeneye".

You a Bond fan?

My daughter is 2 - cute as a button...

likes:
Memo (Finding Nemo)
Eyeball (Monsters Inc.)
Cinnalella (Cinderella)

&
Ogre (Shrek)

and now in this order everyday
Memo, Eyeball, Memo, Cinnalella, Memo, Eyeball, Memo, Bugs, Bugs, Bugs, Memo, Eyeball, Cinnalella, Memo, Ogre, Memo...

I have to admit...I haven't gotten sick of Memo yet.

Three girls, 19 , 16, 13.
The oldest is in college- we almost lost her to cancer. Love St Judes!!! She is an excellent student and wants to write.
16 year old loves boys - I am in the process of breaking arms and legs, it only helps me feel better
13 year old is a genius and the prettiest of the bunch, she loves school.

like has been said - the time goes fast enjoy it!
BTW - I have watched with my girls Gone With The Wind about 400 times

Pierre

i forgot to mention, ALL kids in proximity to a ski area are into skiing here.

it's part of most school programs to let them out early & buss them in

the kicker being, if you kid doesn't ski, you get to pick him/her up @ 11:30 and blow off work once a week

so they will learn to ski & like it here

sort of a Joe Camel thing....

Not my favorite films but I like the Sean Connery ones.

I asked about Dr No because it was on my TV as I read your post and I thought you might be watching it too.

chi spark, Yes, that was me.

sparky,You have been around electric too long . . .

I do have cable, but never have time to watch it. I keep it for the high speed internet.

Bob I'm not really mean. It's just a nickname I got stuck with when I was a kid

maybe i need to lighten up ??

Gene, I don't know how you do it. I have 4. I have a twenty one year daughter who is a teachers aide and after school daycare provider and in the summer she is a cook at a Boy Scout camp.
A nineteen year old son who is an apprentice with the NJATC and going to college to become an electrical engineer.
A seventeen year daughter who is attending an engineering based high school. She also wants to become an electrical engineer. And last but not least a seven year old son who is our miracle suprise. He loves his nintendo and playstation and will probally be a Lawyer or politician.
