Flint McCloud 3103L Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 OK... So I posted here a few weeks ago that the lovely Ms. Maggie and I became Grandparents for the first time... When Ethan was less than 24 hours old he was an NRA Life Member... I have already gotten him his first Red Ryder BB Gun setup (you'll shoot your eye out, Kid...) and yesterday at the match, I bought him a used Remington 870 Wingmaster 12 gauge... OK... he was 6 weeks old last friday, and grandpa will have to hang onto some of this stuff for awhile... but I'm still looking for toys for him... Oh, yeah... he already has his first rod and reel as well... Is it obvious that I'm liking this...??? Vaya con Dios Quote
LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Now is good, but it only gets better. Quote
Anvil Al #59168 Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Yep. Know what ya mean. When my Grandson was born. I went out and got him a Golden Boy .22 and a Red Ryder also. Got the .22 checkered and had his name put in it also. He has a couple of knives and getting him a Ruger Bearcat pretty soon. Going to have to slow down some. As got another Grandson on the way. Going to have to get him all the same stuff. Seems like everything I get him is for when he gets a little bigger. But atleast he has it. Quote

Blackwater 53393 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 The Bopper was only five minutes old and he was wearin' my cowboy hat. Y'all know, the one with all the cartridge tracks on it! Flint, wait 'til you get to the Friday trips to, (I hate this place but he loves it) McDonald's on the way to daycare, and the occasional "hooky at the park" mornings. Quote

Complicated Lady Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Being Nana is the best thing in the world! My grand daughter, Laramie Belle, is 2 1/2 years old. She loves to wear her red cowgirl boots that are just like Nana's red boots. She put them on and off 5 times yesterday. Quote

Curley Cole, SASS #56849 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 It gets better. I only have 11 grandkids. I "unwisely", started the tradition of getting the grandkid a American Silver Eagle, when they were born, and the new date every year...not realizing how much silver/gold waz gonna go up and how many I had to buy...So I waz even so dumb that when they turn 10 I get them the 1/10oz Gold Eagle. crap I am gonna go broke here. of course the first few years they don't even know what it is. But as they get older they like to see them and stack them up.... they ain't gonna get rich of them, but it is some thing to remember their "gramps" for.. enjoy aand start a little tradition now.... curley Quote
Krazy Kajun Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Here's what happens when you put PawPaw's cowboy had on his 2 year old grandson's head during Christmas time.. Edited December 20, 2011 by Krazy Kajun Quote

Finagler 6853 Life Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 My wife keeps wondering why I keep buying more guns. I tell her it is because our kids are having kids. I want to make sure they have one. Now that the grandkids are getting older we are discovering that we love to see them when they come and visit and we are glad to see them go home. You will start to feel the "old" in your bones about a half hour after they are gone. Keep up the good work gramps. Quote
Marshal Phil DeGrave SASS #55202 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) If my Baby Girl (19) ever says she wants piercings other than in her ears, I'm gonna hafta ask, "What caliber holes do you want?" I also can't wait till she becomes a mother, so's I can be a grandpa. But alas, I need to wait till she's done with school and gets her career going.

Noz Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 My first grandbaby is 23 and still loves her grandpa. There are 4 others. All the boys got Buck Stockman knives at birth, the girls got silver cups. Quote
BONNIE BULLET, SASS 53118 Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 This is a great time for both of you. But Flint, pace yourself, Lefty and I have 8 grandchildren. Trust me on this Quote
