Jacob, Joshua & Scotty

Jacob, Joshua and Scotty.

These aren't the only children in my life, but these are the ones I'm talking about now.

Like a few other stories here, this was originally a Facebook Timeline Entry, so if anything doesn't make sense, chalk it up to that.

Ok, so they weren't born in 2003 [I placed this in 2003 on my Timeline], but when Lisa and I met, they became brothers.

Period.

That's the way my Dad taught me and that's the way me and all of my brothers &
sisters are whether we have another Mother or Father or not. Actually we all do
:)

It's hard to tell sometimes now that they're all teenagers but, they've always
been close and have for the most part been good to eachother and for
eachother.

As parents, Lisa and I sometimes found ourselves shocked when teachers and coaches and other people would tell us what great kids we have. We don't see much of that around here :) But, they really are and I look forward to continuing to watch them grow and become the fine young men I know they will be.

Well, if they ever get past the Three Stooges Stage. That's been going on for
almost ten years now, so I guess we'll have to wait & see :)

I'm very proud of all of them and who they are, and I like to think that Lisa and I
have been good parents and influences on them so far. I'm sure we could find a
regret or two along the road, but for the most part, I'm pretty proud of us too
when I look at them. When it comes to parenting, Lisa and I think are pretty
good teammates!

I could tell so many stories about these guys. However they're all on Facebook now and I think just this picture is going to get me ambushed, not to mention you probably don't want to read about them for the next ten years.

So rather than tell stories that'll tick them off, I'll just mention a couple of my favorites, without details, to make you wonder!
 
Jake got "shot" and has a big scar on his chest/belly area. Josh used to
talk to God and Angels and he "grew" a pumpkin. Scotty... well... Scotty once
saw Chucky. Oh and he also farted a hole in a camping chair. :)

Have fun figuring those out!

Since this is my website instead of Facebook, I will tell you those stories and more at some point.

Stay tuned.
