Author Topic: My Granddaughter, sort of.... (Read 2752 times)

Kiana is the daughter of my ex daughter-in-Law. We are lucky, she married a good man and our relationship is good. My son and his GF go to Grandson's ballgames with the parents.
They even go to the San Diego Charger games together as well. Sure beats having a strained relationship! Her half brother, Jake, below, IS MY biological GRANDSON.
He is an all star.!

Now who could look at Kiana and not smile back? What a beautiful little girl. That picture of the All Star is cool too. My camera could never catch a person in action like that.

Thanks Esther, his dad took the photo, so no credit for me there.
I showed Kiana's photo to an agency I did some work for, they flipped for her.
Her mom is working on an audition for them BOTH! Print work only.
Get a load of this shot, he does slam it!

Oh Jerry, they are both beautiful kids. Don't ya just love grandkids? We can love them and spoil the heck out of them and then give them back.

Beautiful girl Jerry and that boy has legs like a grasshopper. We are going paddling the creek with our grandkids today so might have just started another "post pictures of the Grandkids " thread.

Jake looks like he was born to play baseball and Kiana is just as cute as a bug.

Sounds like you raise a special boy yourself to have such a relationship with his EX and her family.

Jerry · « **Reply #7 on:** August 12, 2007, 10:34:03 AM »

thank you all.
Jake seems to be a natural. My son took him golfing with some clients. He did so well the clients were annoyed.
I played pool with him, I scolded my son for not showing Jake how to make a bridge. Larry said, "Take it easy with your criticism, this is his first time playing pool."
The kid made his shots doing it all wrong!
This is a 2 yr old pic. he is close to my height and will be a lot taller...I think.

Nice environment for the kids all around. Great job Grandpa!

Anette, they live in San Clemente, closer to you! Yes, it is a nice place. We should have moved there years ago!
My Parents loved fishing there as well as eating at Victor McLaughlin's restaurant. (long gone) I bet most here don't remember Victor Mclaughlin.
This shot was my folks in San Clemente in 1950.

That little girl is precious. So dainty looking, and pretty. Your grandson's action shots are stunning. Great pics, and should be on the front pages of magazines. You sound like the perfect Grandpa.

The great photos of the kids were NOT taken by me.
thanks

I understand you didn't take them, but the person who did, did a great job.

Great picture of your parents in San Clemente with big catch.

Victor??? I've only lived in the OC for almost 27 years

Victor Mcloughlin (SP) was a great star remember "Quite Man" with John Wayne & Maureen O'hara, he was her dad and had that rollicking fight with J Wayne

Jerry, that's a great treasure you have there! I love the old BW pix. Funny how your dad is making mom hold that huge fish. She's my kind of gal!

Jerry · « **Reply #16 on:** August 16, 2007, 10:38:14 AM »

Thanks Happy. For the record, when that was taken I had only met my father a month earlier.
Now I look like him!

Esther · « **Reply #17 on:** August 17, 2007, 05:30:27 PM »

Of course I'm puzzled by what you said on that last post but am too polite to ask. LOL

By the way, you can be Grandpa to just about anybody. We have as 4 step grandkids. Pete has one bio grandkid and I have 3 bio grandkids. But my grandkids don't have much of an idea that he is a step Grandpa. A couple of them don't remember what their real gpa looks like and Braeden hasn't even seen Kevin's dad. I think it's been at least 5 years since my kids have seen or heard from their father. I figure if you're doing the job and they call you Grandpa, then you deserve the title.

Jerry · « **Reply #18 on:** August 17, 2007, 06:32:58 PM »

Thanks Esther. No puzzle, it is as I said. I never met him until I was 20, unless being an infant counts.

happyoutsidegirl · « **Reply #19 on:** August 20, 2007, 04:47:18 AM »

Thanks Esther for (not) asking

I was a bit confused too. And thanks Jerry for the clearing it up. I kind of thought thats what ya ment.

Victor McGlaughlin!!! HELLO! Big Star wayback when.

Jerry · « **Reply #21 on:** August 22, 2007, 05:17:01 PM »

Remember him in 4 Feathers? Cary Grant and maybe Gary Cooper co starred.
here is an old poster, the best one i could Google

Well now I see why fishing is in your blood... I'll bet your folks didn't have to go out very far to catch that long fin....

Jerry · « **Reply #23 on:** August 22, 2007, 09:43:25 PM »

You are right Mike. In those days it was a day trip. To you folks not local, they now go for 2 days and more. The cost now is 300 to 500.00 bucks. I will pass, unless the fish get within 4 hours out.
