Cool = We got one in the oven again and that will be # 4 and kind of hoping for a boy this time but we sure will take what we get and spoil the hell out of it. lmao

Isn't that the nice part with grandkids. Spoil them and then send them home. Kinda like getting even. LOL

I have 2 grandkids and don't get to see enough of them. I was talking to the 18 year old boy about the gun I bought for him just after he was born. His 5 year old little sister pipes up, "Grandpa when do I get my gun?

I guess I had better start looking for a gun for little sister. She is nothing but a tomboy.

I'm up to seven grandchildren now. I kind of wish my children would slow it down a bit. I do love spoiling them though. I guess it's a grandparent's revenge on his children! Yessir, get those kids riled up, wrangy, bouncing off the walls, then well, well, well, it's time to go home. Maybe there is some justice to parenting after all. Best wishes to all.

Well I certainly don't qualify as a senior hunter yet(although my body would argue otherwise) but approaching the ripe young age of 48,but already the (granpa)"Pappa" of 8!..My daughter has 3 girls 7,5,2 and a set of twin boys that are 8 months.My oldest son has two, a girl that is 3 and a boy that is almost 2 and my stepson has a boy that is almost one(he was born on the same day as my heart attack) only 200' down the hall from my ICU bed. I love them all to pieces.If I woulda known that grandbabies were this much fun.....I woulda had them FIRST!!! hahahaha....have a great day all.

Have only 4, all grandsons. Problem is they are all hunters and shooters. Grandpa's gun supply goes down yearly as they adopt some of my firearms. But that is a great problem to have.

I've only recently understood the close bond between grandparents and their grandchildren. It seems we often have a common enemy (word used lightly). I agree with an earlier post. We should have the grandchildren first then the children. Best wishes.
