I know this isn't a kife picture but I can't help myself..Heather my oldest Daughter was in her first beauty review tonight.And she was Beautiful.Like Mother like Daughter...Am not looking forward to see what happens in a few years from now with this one or her little sister,which will start the Beauty pagents next year..
She didn't win but she did have fun and that was what she told her friends (great attitude)
I think she looks like a little angel ..What do you guys think..
I can't help being a proud Dad..
Just had to show these to my buddies..
Bruce
 
I have it all figured out for when she starts dating..
I will come out of the shop to meet the young man while sharpening my biggest Bowie ever,And working late in the shop so I know when they come home and stand at the door with that big Bowie,polishing it some:D
Aint I mean...?
Bruce
 
No,bruce,do the "slingblade" thing and just keep honing a lawnmower blade,MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmHHHHHHmmmmmmmmmmm....................

You ain't mean, just practical.
She's so pretty she'll probably get accepted to Ole Miss on looks alone:D
I know you're proud of your girls, and rightfully so.
Thanks for sharing the photos.
 
bruce i would be worst than that! when her date shows for the first time, i would say young man! i know you have a full tank of gas and there won't be any problem having her home by 10:00 pm or sooner if she asks, RIGHT! and by the way, let me show you this bowie i am working on that will go thru rope like butter. do we understand each other son? LOL LOL :D
 
Lovely young lady Bruce.

You need to get you one of those foam sword practice dumies and when her date showes up be practicing on it with one of your Dragon Slayers. Might give him a tour of your shop and some cutting dimonstrations. Bet he'll get the point!:D
 
She is very pretty! She takes after her mother Thank God. Thats a good idea to keep making big bowies especially on prom night. I hope you get lucky and she will attract a nice young man that is interested in knives.
 
Bruce,

Great looking kid. If I were you I would take a look at VG elaborate daughter dating application process. Once you see it you will realize why some would be dates have run away screaming into the night.

If that doesn't work for you, try my old man's routine. Just gather a few choice samples of mounted wildlife and set them up around the house. Then take the kid around and tell him about the running shot at 300 yards, make sure he understands how the bullet entered and where the guts were blown out and sprayed over the landscape, and by all means, let him see the leathal knife wound you inflicted on that sneaky brown bear. Even share a few nice pictures and demonstrate how to properly gut and clean a deer (Extra credit if you trace the lines over the boy's anatomy). Well anyway it worked for us; I don't think my sister every had a problem with a date (although some of them drove away pretty fast). :)

Beautiful girl you should be proud.
Just mention, while nonchalantly shaving the neighbors rotweiler with your latest dragon slayer, "My daughter is leaving this house a lady, she will return to this house a lady, or...you will leave this house,... a lady."
 
Bruce, she sure is pretty and poised, takes after her mother for sure. Donna will probably have her own recommendations for the boys when the time comes...they have a way of making us look pretty ineffectual.

What a cutie! Bruce, I hate to say it but they are angels at 10. The next few years though......YIKES! And you have two of them?? :eek: :eek: It'd be a good idea to make your living arrangements out in the shop for a couple of years until they're grown up otherwise it's continuous door slamming followed by crying, etc. And forget ever using the telephone or the computer again. It's probably your only hope of getting any peace and quiet! :D
 
Thanks everybody...
Lots of great ideas about how to keep boyfriends behaving here:D
Guess I need to create The "Boyfriend Slayer Bowie";)
Heck Peter,Heather has already started with the phone,But when the grades are to low and Mom grounds her from the phone I don't have the problems with that for a little while.Brandy is only 5 now and so I have a couple more years at least untill she starts the fighting for the phone (I hope) And I have already said that I would be spending most of my time in the shop,as I can't handle three hormone crazed woman at one time,if you know what I mean:eek: :D
Bruce
 
The Boyfriend Slayer???? :D:D Sounds like you've already got the right idea about the shop. Who would have ever thought that the pounding of a power hammer could be so restful?
 
Bruce: You are one talented dude. You make nice looking knives and KidS too. How the JS Kinves going???
 
Two half-Donna daughters?? Oh you poor, poor bastard.
Wait a minute, you're serious? You are actually going to LET them date? Ever? Oh wow. Ever considered becoming a class III weapons dealer? LOL.
Needless to say your family is beautiful. And as with all fathers of pretty daughters, you have my sympathies. Maybe you should make up some pretty nasty throwing hawks? Then they'll know you can hit em runnin away, and they'll still be alive when ya catch up to em.:D
 
Congratulations! That's one fine lookin young lady. You are a very lucky man. It's also great that you let your kids know that you're proud of them. I do have to add my warning though, my daughter is 17 now and those teen years are difficult to say the least. As a father, it's really hard to let those young hairy legged boys take your daughter out without threatening em in some way before they leave. I just can't pass up any opportunity to be ole yeller:D
 
Might as well just get some heavy duty chains and keep her locked up in the basement. The boys are going to be knocking down your door in a little while. Oh, and I like the idea of the Boyfriend Slayer Bowie too.
 
All of the boys are scared off by the bowie-sharpening act, then one day when you least expect it...... one of them will will light up with delight and awe, and want to spend the night talking knives instead of going on the date.

That's when you'll know you found one that is acceptable, (Not "Good Enough" to date your daughter of course, there is no such man and never will be, but "acceptable".... the best a mere mortal can aspire to.)

Of course, you'll have to pretend NOT to get along with him so your daughter will still date him. (You know, no kid will date someone their parents actually LIKE!)

Just make sure he knows your daughter will be carrying one of those ultra-sharp knives of yours as well, so if you aren't around and he gets handsy he will be losing the very hands that caused the offense. ;)

A very lovely daughter, Bruce. My sympathies through the dating years, in advance.
 
Thanks Guys,Donna read these and was laughing her Butt off..
She hopes Heather will get into Ole Miss as that is her favorite collage-College--Oh Heck Big School:D
She has been saying that she will be keeping here locked up till she was thirty for years:D :eek: :D But I doubt it,She lets Heather have a boyfriend now...
At least Brandy is only 5 at this time...
