Thought of the day


That's right, Mr. Garvey.
I did just mess up. 
I now have two teenagers living with me.
"Don't mess with me K-Y-Ellie or Hay-Hay-Den!!!"
For the love of the fattest bassets, what am I going to do?
Of course, I am just kidding.
I love my teenagers and I am going to enjoy the ride.
Happy birthday, Hayden. 
I love you and I really love being your dad.

  1. One of my granddaughters entered the kingdom of teens earlier this month. I know her mother is overjoyed. You and Mrs. Shife will survive.
    I was glad to see you at my blog today, but yesterday's post would have interested you more. It was about our sweet Sadie (pup) who recently died.

  8. My kids' teen years were way better than some of their 20s and even 30s. Parenting is never-ending albeit often rewarding and joyous. But it can be stressful! Happy Birthday to Hayden and I want part of that cookie!

  9. I don't think you want your daughter to come up with the nickname KY.
    PS... I stole a joke.

  11. The "perfect man" quote is spot on... and so is the Milli Vanilli meme!

  14. Congrats I guess...two teens. Hope you keep Advil on hand, there will times when you'll need it; but it is also fun so enjoy the ride. That's the biggest cookie I've ever seen in my life. Hope she didn't eat that all by herself. Happy Birthday Hayden. The garage meme is my favorite, sure has a ring of truth to it.
