The scrawny 2lb., 2 oz. toehead is a strappin' 16 today. I remember the latter third of that day like it was tattooed on my forehead...He came 11 weeks early, when those born 12 weeks early were given a 2% chance...

The kid's grades started improving the day he hit the doors of high school and his world just keeps gettin' bettah. He's been chosen to go on a 20 day/7 country student trip to Europe this July (three days on the Normandy beaches even!) and is in full fundraising mode--Which makes him mistakenly believe there is an immunity from chores. In the pic above he is doing what he does best: Wash dishes HIS way...The dogs get no scraps with this kid around.
We're really proud of the boy. Yes, he's driving :icon_eek: :errrr:
You lie! There is no way he was that little kid running around a bunch of old airplane guys trying to play with the dogs and cats.
Congrats Stetto.
And just for clarification, if that's chocolate cake mix/frosting/ cookie dough etc, its not dog scraps or dishes anyway, its spoils of conquest by attrition. :icon_smile:
I met Kayla in Cheyenne on the way back home after hay hauling for lunch, she turns 18 this weekend. :eek5:
Another one grows up too fast! That Gathering was 12 years ago already...Gad, where's that walker?
Arrrrrrgh! I'm getting old.....I still remember him in his Krispy Kreme hat! ......and Kayla was clinging to mom.....
