Just some braggin....these sons of mine just finished another symphonic concert. Garrett plays first chair french horn and Elliott p[lays first chair clarinet. They play competitive basketball, tennis, cook well, hunt, fish, camp, A's in AP classes, one has maintained straight A's for over 4 years and the other A's and B's, scouts, in missions and the list goes on. All on their watch, never pushed. Just a little proud...I am a blessed man.

I guess the apple doesnt fall far from the tree.


Notice to public: Having a dad around makes a big difference.

and they are 15 years old (16 in May).....amazing. They have passed me by when I was that age for sure.

Good job Mr.

Ok. What was on this evening concert???? Enquiring minds!!!!! You know!!!!

Nice job!

Kent

Hard work on your part has them on a great path.
Nice pic.

Well done, Sir.

great job on the boys

You have some nice looking young men there. What type of missions are they doing? My niece did one of her mission trips in Brazil.

outstanding Boots


happy and proud for you, the missus and your boys of course.

bout the only mark most of us will leave on this planet is what kind of progeny we leave behind.

it appears your seed will be mighty upon this earth

Brag on brother man, you have the right to. I would be a crime not to brag on good kids, especially these days when its hard to find kids to brag on. I am blessed as well.

Couple of good boys you have there Boots, fine job indeed.

Better be nice to 'em they he bigger than you.

Great looking, accomplished young men you have there. You have every right to be proud of sons like that. I am blessed with two daughters who are confident young women, both were scholar athletes and have gone on to successful careers. One as an accountant and the other a physical therapist.

Congratulations on a fine pair of young men! It sounds like they have been blessed and in turn, you are blessed as well.

May they continue to excel in all they do, and may you be blessed to get to watch them for many years to come.

Don't meet a lot of horn players. I think you should be VERY proud of them. First Chair horn does not come easy.
I played French Horn during High school and College, and did some Symphony work after. Never did play First Chair though.

Very nice!

Made me immediately remember some great accomplishments that my 3 boys had/did when growing up, involving music and singing. One, my youngest still sings, plays several instruments and leads worship at one of our local churches.

Good job!

Beautiful family sir. May God continue to bless you in abundance.

They have both been to the mountains of Jamaica, one twice, and Garrett will be going on his second trip to Dominican Republic this spring break.

Certainly something to be proud of!
