7, 3 girls and 4 boys. 1 month to 10 years.

They are all exceedingly intelligent as they take after their Gramps. wink

Two boys and four girls. Best thing that ever happened! Nothing like being able to get all those hugs, too make your day more beautiful!

The way I understand it, I have 3, and possibly two more on the way, both unplanned.

YOu are not alone. No children, no grandchildren. Won't ever happen.

Plenty of others to go around though if we ever felt the urge to borrow some. LOL
Posted By: wabigoon Re: Grandchildren? - 02/23/17
I'll add a question as to what kind of a world we are leaving for them?

I hope, and pray they are up to the task!

4 total.

3 boys and one girl aged from 16 years to 18 months.

They will be fine,they have good parents and are being told what is right and good.

I don't worry about how they will do.

Several members met them year before last at Quemado.

Three sons, 18, 25 and 26. None married, no kids. I don't see much happening for some years.

Four boys, three girls. From eight to twenty one.

They are my reward for not strangling their parents when THEY were children.
Posted By: mudhen Re: Grandchildren? - 02/23/17
FWIW, I have six on my side (four boys and two girls), and one great grandson. My wife has seven (four girls and three boys), with one more (sex unknown) on the way.

Three of my grandsons are grown and on their own, although only the oldest one is married. All four of my wife's granddaughters are grown and on their own, and only one of them (the youngest) is married. Two of her granddaughters are career military, one Air Force and the Navy.

I leave remembering birthdays up to my wife and Facebook.
Posted By: joken2 Re: Grandchildren? - 02/23/17

Five grandsons and one granddaughter, ranging in age from almost 20 down to three years old.

Posted By: RS308MX Re: Grandchildren? - 02/23/17
One grandson for me. He's 15. He likes to shoot, hunt and fish. Unfortunately he's the only grandchild I'll have. Although, I don't know if I could afford to spoil any more of them anyway!
Posted By: cra1948 Re: Grandchildren? - 02/23/17
Three boys and three girls. Range in age from 9 to 23 (they are brothers.) Oldest is fourth generation of our family in the Navy (currently on a Los Angeles class sub.)

All the boys and girls like their guns. Youngest girl is 12, she's definitely Daddy's girl. I think her .22's have a lot to do with the rimfire shortage.

Ingwe: I am sad for you, having NO grandchildren!
YOU don't know what you are missing.
Its not to late, get started - GRANDCHILDREN fill a place in peoples hearts that they don't know is empty!
I would NOT trade my grandchildren for anything!
I only wish I had more of them (two grandchildren so far from our four children).
Again, get started.

Mudhen: Your "grandchild cup" runneth over (with love!) - good for you - 14 (soon to be!) grandchildren will make for happy, loving and busy times ahead!
Love and spoil them all.
I only wish I had more grandchildren (I have two now one grandson and one granddaughter) but our four children are all still of breeding age so we are hoping for more.
Again good for you and yours!
I haven't had time to read all the posts on this thread - are YOU the record holder on the Fire for number of grandkids?

1 here now that's seven and 1 any day

I wanted to call the oldest my revenge, but can't as she's too damned sweet, maybe this next one will be as headstrong, hot tempered and as tough as her mom?

But I doubt it


This will likely be the last child for the daughter

But two boys to provide more hopefully some day


The oldest boy recently gave us a lecture on how abortion should be illegal that you're killing a human being no ifs ands or buts about it

I hope to God he's wearing a raincoat till he finds a worthy dam for his offspring

Believe he'll make a great dad when the time comes, at least a damn site better than the one he has

I had 2 daughters and married a women with 2 daughters and a son and he's the only one who isn't breeding for babies yet. Christmas and birthdays are cutting into my gun money big time but I'm already passing on some guns to my oldest granddaughter who's 17 and loves to hunt and fish.

From 18 down to that, with only small spaces between.
I need even more guns to pass down.

Dad should have went as he hasn't had the chance to meet them yet but work gets in the way.

2: girl 10, boy 6.

An altogether different kind of love than your own. Better than even chance they are going to live a life similar to what currently goes on in Israel.

My wife's working on a 'Christmas in July' get together for this summer with all the grandkids. It's miserable trying to travel in the winter. This year we went to Albuquerque for Christmas and barely slipped in and out between storms. We also have kids in Seattle and getting over the passes in the winter isn't fun at all.

Yep! - and his momma is giving him fits!
They asked the other day if he could come build fence for me this spring - get him away from computers, into the outdoors, and earn some money to attend a Boy Scout camp at Philmont.
He'll probably figure out that grandpa is an A-hole - just as his parents and uncle have! smile

Our first grandchild is coming this spring, and Cathy and I are very excited. I'm all ready looking at Muddy Girl stocked .243's for the little lass. Just as my son was totally equipped by the time he was old enough to shoot, this little girl will have a full battery of guns, from a pellet gun up to a deer rifle before she hits kindergarten.

H3ll no-I wouldn't think of spoiling her rotten!

Kids wouldn't be so bad if they didn't come with sound effects (affects). We are expecting our first grandchild in June.
Posted By: Timberlake Re: Grandchildren? - 02/24/17
I have six; three boys and three girls. Staggered and aged between two of my own children.

The boys are shooters and really enjoy making projectiles fly; sling shots, arrows and bullets of all sorts.

Whereas my daughter is a shooter the rest of the girls in the families are not.

Cousins seem to get along just fine. Families seem to be quite normal, I think.
