    aaaaahhhhh, that precious! Don't blink, they be all grown up too soon!

    My youngest just turned 20 on Sunday. Seems like yesterday he was having birthdays like that I'd love some Grand kids someday, but I'm not holding my breath!

    Good luck to the little guy.

        Andy,

        >>You look like "firebird".

        You gotta tell me what that means. Firebird would not be my chosen name to use here if I had to do it all over again. Kinda sounds a little rednecky, smokey and the banditish, if you know what I mean.

        I used to have a thing for Pontiacs, had couple here and there, started using various models names for passwords and such, picked that to get in the BT door and just kinda stuck with it.

        It could be spiritual to a degree, like a Phoenix risen from the ashes........

        Are you done with that roof yet?

        Be well,

          Fire Bird<---look at it that way.

          A bird soaring through the sky lighting it up...Thats how I see it.

          You sorta look intensly energetic, healthy and rarin' to go...

          Like a Fire bird....

          VEry cool name.

          Spose one can see different things from different perspectives and thats mine.

          Am I done with the roof yet?

          I dont think in my entire life time we'll be done with it....lol.

          That 5 1/2" expose is a bidch.I think we're up to 45 sq this week.

          Actually I think the entire additions are done....rear of existing house whould be done hopefully middle of next week which included the rip off.

          Then the front gets ripped and that should take about two more weeks or better...or better or better or...

          Its all the valleys, crickets etc etc that takes so much time, but its sure lookin' awesome so its well worth it.

          Can't imagine ever doing any other kind of roof from here on out.

          Its such a warm, crafty, thoughtful look.

          Be up top

          Namaste'

    Do you have enough relatives close by that he gets truckloads of toys every Christmas and birthday? My kids sure did...

            and your leash apperantly!

            get that kid a go cart or better yet a little dirtbike!

            even if he's to young for it... while it sits waiting for him, it will need constant tuning, and for that, you need test drives

      Thanks Jeff. He's in the 98th percentile for height and has looked like a miniature adult since he was about 9 months old. I've had more than a few people refuse to believe his age - they always give me "that look" at the movie theatre and the "three and under eat free" restaurants especially.

      I hope he still looks up to his old man when he's looking down on me in a few years.Kevin Halliburton

    Like Jeff, theres no way that kid is 3! I thought the one with the pacifier was the 3 year old.

    I have a three year old and FYI this is how one looks.

      That's a great lookin kid Doug!!

      Is there some asian influence in him or is he just squinting?

        Sorry Kevin, not trying to hijack your son's birthday celebration, I feel bad I didnt get him something, tell him I'll get him double next year. :)

        1. CAGIV | Jul 02, 2004 02:44am | #19

          get him a go-cart to piss off his parents...

          1. DougU | Jul 02, 2004 03:01am | #20

            Hey, I'm his parents!

            I have three older boys, they have already got him a little mini bike, told him he can ride it when he can ride a bike. He doesnt have a bike yet.

            I know that the 3 older boys did it to piss off the parents!

            Don't worry my man - he will get the radical wheels and I'll probably help him build it rather than pick one off the shelf. Just give me a couple more years to work on Momma.Kevin Halliburton

            good deal, but I'll be checking on that, I want that kid motorized by age  6....

            and not one of those battery things... something with some power...

            can't wait till I have a boy

          One thing no one around here has to worry about is getting me upset by interupting me braggin on my child to brag about theirs.

          I didn't realise you had a 3 year old. We really need to get together one of these days.Kevin Halliburton
