I am a singer who tends to hit random pitches. I Love my wife Rachel and my five children. Sierra (11), Aleya (8) Jayden (7) Jackson (7) Kaiden 3. Four of our five children are adopted so I am very interested in adoptions and the stories that go with them. I am a dairy farmer which I enjoy most of the time. Most importantly I love the Lord.

Post Script
How did your grandparents enhance your development spiritually and emotionally. How did they make you feel special, or didn't they?
Your two boys are the cutest. Rachel must be swamped with the ages and number of your children.
I think the role of grandparents is to cultivate a friendship with their grandchildren that grows and changes as the grandchildren grow and change so that they can speak into the spiritual lives of their grandchildren in their teens rather than just being the obligatory elderly folks that the grandchildren dutifully visit.
It is interesting, when I was younger I hated going to certain family gatherings and loved going to others. Specifically one side versus the other side. I think it had a lot to do with the grand parents and there view of life. I enjoy going to both sides now, maybe I grew up a little in the last 15 years.
