A fine achievement in parenting your young'ns, OW. Well played!

Awesome picture......kids are kids no matter what age.

Try this Sobo...A chunk of blue cheese with Bacon in the half shell on the barbie!

And a cigar! Yummy

Here's a cool idea - Dad makes his son pass a Test to Turn Five

That is awesome!

I think Kaizen is gonna make a very fine 5-year-old, but I must point out that he's already on his way to becoming a scofflaw.
Note the mountain bike and dog in a wilderness area at 1:50-2:18. Bolting in a wilderness area can't be very far behind...

Nonsense - Kaizen's a Canadian 5-year-old, and as such he's legally permitted to ride his bike on public land, accompanied by his dog if he so wishes, and he doesn't even need to get a permit from the government to do it - he can just go. It's one of the hallmarks of our radical socialist system of government - "public land" actually means just that - public land.

Oh, shite! Foiled by the 49th Parallel again! Curse you, murraysovereign!

Time for another kiddo update. These are from Nick's 9th birthday party last weekend at the Zero Gravity Gym in Poulsbo.
Sorry for the blurriness, but these kids just move too fast for my cheap-ass Nikon digital to focus on them...

Awesome pictures, thanks for sharing.

The Goose will be 2 in November.
Very much looking forward to the day she decides that bouldering / climbing is cool

We took her hiking a couple of weeks ago and figure she walked at least a good mile or more of the trail up to Wallace falls

So far she's an adrenaline junky who is obsessed with shoes, wallets, keys, driving, and cams. I've already accepted that fact that I'm screwed!

"Hey Daddy, see that lady's pink Gucci handbag? I want one of those... NOW!

Today is my daughters 3rd birthday. Happy birthday my sweet Sadie.....

you're not letting her on cc.com yet are you 'bone!?!

My son turned 5 on Sat. Wow.....how time is flying. I am talking him to Smith Rock this weekend with a couple friends and there kids. Should be fun!

My daughter turned 7 this past Friday (10/14). Took both of the rugrats up to Hurricane Ridge on Saturday for a little look-see.
Ee-yup, it goes by all too quickly...


We went walking on the trails around the Hurricane Ridge Visitor's Center for Elaina's 7th birthday.
Here Nicholas and Elaina contemplate the drop from the summit of Sunrise Point near the Center.



Nicholas and Elaina pose for Dad at the Visitor's Center, with a portion of the southern Olympics in the background.

Wow.....my sons b-day on on 10/15. CRAZY!!!!!

Wowsers, time flies.
