Proud Parents

[Moon Beam]

This is my daughter Brooke (left) and her half sister Brittany.

She has your exact same smile Rick......I love that.
Thanks for posting the pics.

[Rick]

Hubby and kids this past summer:


Youngest, Eldest, and Middle. The old man is mine

It was 98 degrees that day- so everyone is a little worse for wear. But this is the most recent photo I have of them.

Great looking family KC.

[Moon Beam]

KCfla your youngest looks like she is very energetic.
Love the wood display case around the tv behind em.

[Moon Beam]

I found one buried in an old e-mail.
It's a few years old and not the best pic but you should
all be able to tell how happy I am to be a Mom.

Yep, you look like you're having a ball. Great pic Moonie.

"Hell on Wheels" more like! She has the attitude of a teenager, at the tender age of 7! (No thanks to her elder siblings.)
The picture was taken in a museum in St. Augustine, Fl. Hence the interesting backdrop.

Most recent ....showing off some of his martial arts poses!


Guess you can tell by all the pics that I'm a very proud mom! Those you love is what lifes all about.

[Rick]

Great pics Phyllis. You should be proud. The one of them with the guns is way cool.

Thanks! Yes, I'm very proud of my sons.

[Panther]

Not the best, and I HATE having pics taken. Here's two of the children.... boyo (the drummer) and mini. Just ignore the other idiot!



Here's one of boyo taking care of business. lol (he's gonna kill me for putting this up here)

[Moon Beam]

Phyllis I can't decide if I like the young pics of your boys best or the
handsome ones showing what good looking men they've become.
Think the laughing little one my be my fave.
Thanks for posting em lady, thank your kids as well for giving the ok.




Panther is your Son's name really Boyo?.
That's very different, I like it!
Great pics, thanks for showing em here.

I am home here and teaching my son to clap to live concerts. Currently he is digging Out in the Streets by Bruce. I got him to clap...ok, it's with his fists, but who cares?

Yes, the kinder gentler Deano is here. I think all MR parents should show a pic of their kids, no matter the age, and to those old fuckers here, Moonbeam, Journeywoman, Sherrie feel free to show your grandkids.

RedJoe13 won't be able to show us his daughter because he doesn't know how to upload a photo.
Here is Wyatt, on his first ever train journey, with a proud mamma in tow.



For all you women here, is a nude shot of the little man.



Please participate parents.

Very cute. He looks so big and healthy. I think in the last picture that look on his face is saying please don't let the water hit me there..

Awe, thanks G, thats very kind of you to say....I may be biased but I agree that they are handsome. The youngest is the laughing baby...that boy has been laughing all his life...from the minute he came into the world! He's the one that got married. His twin brothers also laugh and joke around a lot. They are 25 and still single.

[Rhiannon]

They are 25 and still single.

You say that like it's a bad thing!
Then again, my Dad says that about me and I'm a couple years younger than they are.
This also coming from the man who told me right before I turned 20 that if I got married before I turned 25 he'd give me $20,000 cash.

[Rick]

A friend at work was telling me that when he turned 18, he was at the breakfast table and his dad looked up from the paper and said "Son, I'm not saying today, but it would be nice if you could be out of here by the end of the week."
He said he and his buddy stayed in a camper shell on the back of a pickup for about 3 months. What a dad huh?

Naw...not a bad thing at all. They are very focused on careers right now, so thats a good thing. I just want my son's to do whatever makes them happy in life. I never expect them to do something because I want them to and have never said so....it's all up to them....they don't ever have to get married if they don't want to. Having had all boys I am happy to have a daughter now, though, since one did get married...and now have a grandchild on the way.

Here are the kids, taken at my son's wedding in August:

[Lula]

Great pics!! I love it when Dean gets all sweet and stuff . For the record, we don't use dawn dish detergent to wash Wyatt .

[mistiejourney]

You guys all have fantastic kids! Babies, adults - this is a great thread!

You have a great looking family..nice pic

This was taken at New Year's Eve.
From left to right.
Alex (my eldest), my ex Enio, Brian (my baby) and the boy's grandfather.

I was beginning to wonder there... but hey -- if you want your son citrus fresh, that's your business.

I was waiting to see if someone was going to make a comment about that..

Thank you! I lucked out - they are all really good kids. Rebecca is 17 and graduating in May. Kendall is in law school at Notre Dame (go Irish!) and Lillian is getting her Masters in Education.

Rebecca grew up hearing almost nothing but "Teve Pewwy". Lillian could name the Bee Gees at 18 months old and Kendall was into the Beatles at 10.

They have their priorities straight!

I think I was so caught up in trying to figure out whether the water was coming down or going up, I didn't notice!

Hey, at least you wash yours! By the way he get's his eyelashes from me. Yes they are wasted on boys!!!
