JJ, Hannah and Abby just rock because they are 3 and 4 years old, they only like to play and have fun.

Ian rocks because we can argue like adults and come to a compromise and then we apologize and then it's all better.

One kidlet is a Marine. 'nuff said.
Kid no. 2 will be 15 in Dec. and will probably be bigger than me by this time next year. His whole life revolves around ATV's, dirt bikes and 4x4's although girls have begun to enter into the picture. He's also my no. 1 fishing and camping buddy. No idea what his baseball team will amount to this year but he's steady as a rock. His teammates look up to him despite his desire to remain out of the spotlight.

My kid rocks because he's 19 years old and wants to see Troy with his mom and dad tomorrow night (a year ago this would have been a fate worse than death to him). He also rocks because he's taking it on his own to paint his room this summer (we'll see if he succeeds). Plus, he's funny.

coachette--rocks because she has been Dad's helper with Mom away. And she is just a sweetie.
coach jr.--rocks because he finally figured out how to tie his shoes about a week ago. and when he talks on the phone, he sounds like an adult. "How you doing Mom?" "Did you have a good day?" "Would you like to speak with Dad?"
little coach--rocks because he's one, and really silly. Has the best laugh ever. (I won't mention how he's into everything all the time)
baby coach--rocks because he is such a good baby. And I swear he grows so much, I hardly recognize him when the weekend comes.

Don't forget the tattoo and the three earrings.

Paige, 13, my oldest is on the honor roll in jr. high, plays volley ball, basketball and runs the mile in track. Awesome helper around the house and has a great attitude.
Ben 10 is on the honor roll at school, plays tight end for his football team, "Offensive player of the year" and is a great young man all around.
Big Will my youngest and most aggressive is also on the honor roll and an incredible soccer player, he is the leading scorer for his team.
All of our kids are very strong Christians and love to help others at the drop of a hat. They are very active in school and out. Incredible teachers to their parents about life even at this young age. We love them dearly
Of course I could go on but it surely is someone elses turn.
Robert

Something along the lines of a slate blue.

A large (I want to say at least six inches long) cross at the top of his arm.

He still expects us to do this before the summer ends. Of course I could be misled in the streets of downtown Portland again.

Stormie (16) is #1 in her class and will be auditioning to be Field Conductor tomorrow morning.
Sterling (15) is just as smart and we should know his class rank in a few weeks. He literally "rocks" on his guitar. He has an Ibanez and a Fender Stratocaster, and he's saving for a 3rd.
Sawyer (5) holds conversations like an adult, rides a bike, loves being with his grandparents.
All 3 of them rock to me for very personal reasons, some of you know why.
