Ok, so at our church we have a teen group. Me and Mrs. Jo help with this group of teenagers. They have become like a second family to us. Especially my three little sisters! They are LB, Curly, and Diva. These three have gained a special place in my heart, why not really sure! The 3 could not be any different.
Diva is the oldest and true sister to LB. She has just graduated high school and in that stage, where she is trying to figure out life outside high school. Curly is the next oldest and is a senior in high school. She also is best friends with LB. She is a true BLOND. That's why I love her. Then there is LB, she is junior in high school and is a mini-Mrs. Jo. Me and her are probably the closest because she is so much like my wife. They both tell it like it is and hold no punches, my shoulder still hurts from her last one! She is always good for laugh and to keep the mood lite-hearted.
There is a bunch of characters in this group. Even our Youth Pastor Greg is one. This man could light up the darkest of rooms. He lights so many fires under these teens that it is beautiful thing to watch! He says he really is shy, which you can tell once you get him away from the pulpit. Until he really gets to know you then he is his own hyper self.
Some of the other teens in the group include my brother-in-law, Jolly Giant. He is really a kind hearted soul. He is taller than me at his 6'-3"and he is only a sophomore!! He is like that big teddy bear you want to hug unless your his sister.... Then there is SteveO and DanO, they are the resident bad boys of the group. They both are drummers and they both like to have a good time. Well I probably could go on and on about all of them, but I digress.
They all have made a major Impact on my life whether or not they know it! This group of teens has shown me repeatedly that they will be there for me. And I hope that I have shown them the same thing. I don't know how many nights I have stayed up with one of them or another. Either talking to them on MySpace, msn, or on my cell. But what ever it is I think we have helped each other. Either it be my years of experience or their youthful energy, but we all have things to give each other! And I think this is something we can all keep in mind. Everyone should learn that they could learn something from anyone!!

Go to Sleep
So if you read my wife's blog http://www.highonlifelowoncoffee.blogspot.com/ then you already have been introduced to my demons...I mean children. Rose, the oldest, Robert, my middle boy, and AnneMarie, the baby, are all the greatest things to happen to me. Well along with Mrs. Jo ;)! They all have the ability to make me laugh at anytime.
Rose will be a stand up comedian when she grows up because she just LOVES to make people laugh. One of her favorite sayings is, "It's fun being crazy!" That is her in a nutshell, CRAZY! She loves to dance, play dress up, and fishing. She likes to tell knock knock jokes, they may be cheesy but still coming from her they are hilarious. She has this laugh that is so contagious that you can't but help laugh at her. Oh and her smile has gotten her out of some butt spankings. I will be explaining what she did was wrong and then she smiles at me. In true Daddy's girl style she knows she has me and then follows the smile with a hug. "Alright go play. Damn she got me again!" Some might say she has me wrapped around her finger and some might be right!
Robert, aka Bubby, is another one that has a smile that could melt a million hearts. He will be my little playa with the girls. He will either be a wrestler or a MMA fighter.... I don't know where he gets but he is a little aggressive! Like one time while our church had a fun day for the kids with a bunch of inflatables. Such as the moon walk and bungee run. Well Bubby was playing in the moon walk with a bunch of other kids ,most bigger than him. I was talking to someone and then turned to look for Robert and found him on his back with another older child laying on top of him. You may think Robert was in trouble but just the opposite he actually had the kid in a choke hold, a rear naked choke as know in the MMA world. The childs mother started to apologizes until I pointed this out and then she was in just in awww. Her poor son had fallen to the clutches of Bubbyzilla as his cousin likes to call him!
And last but certainly not least, we have AnneMarie. This little girl is just learning to smile and laugh and already she making Daddy melt. Ok yes I am a big softy when it comes to my daughters. She is the only one to projectile her poop at me as I was changing her. I swear she did on purpose!!
They all are great kids until its time to go to bed!! Rose is starting to be good about going to bed. Its the staying in here bed at night that she needs to work on! I will be sleeping and next thing I know there she is in my bed. She sneaks in are room all ninja style. Then there is Robert who just hates going to bed at all. We put him in his room and put a baby gate up. He will sit there and scream for like a half hour before finally going to bed! Oh he to likes to come get up in the middle of the night. Then there is sweet AnneMarie she is the only one who goes to sleep and usually will stay asleep! Yes the 5 month old sleeps better than the other 2!! I need her to talk to them and tell them her secret, but maybe her secret is she can't walk yet....hhhmmm! I really need to figure this all out soon because me and Mrs. Jo need more sleep or at least better sleep!!
Well until next time here is hoping your pipe dreams don't go down the drain!!

Intoducing MR. JO
Alright so everyone around me has been doing this blogging thing so I said, "What the heck why not?!" I also have been being begged by some to do a blog....you know who you are! You have heard my wife's side of the story for last couple of months in her http://www.highonlifelowoncoffee.blogspot.com/, but now here is the true side of the stories.... Ok well at least here is my side of it! I love sports, wrastling, fishing, American Idol, and dancing shows.
I can watch ESPN channels 24 hours a day. I like to watch wrestling because its my version of soap operas and yes I do know its fake! Fishing is my alone time, well except now Rose, my daughter, is wanting to go along with which really isn't that bad. Rose loves to try to make her daddy laugh all the time, but that's for a later day. American Idol at first I just watched the oh so hilarious audition shows, you know the ones I belong on since I can sing so great. But now I have been sucked into the whole thing. Speaking of being sucked into, I have started to love to watch the dancing shows like "SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE", I think I am just amazed by the skill level these people hold or is I think I can dance. Another one of my guilty pleasures is almost everyone of those stupid ,and I know they are but that's what I like about them, MTV shows. Real World/ Road Rules love 'em, all the dating shows love 'em, and now Room 401 looks really good. But my favorite of them all and no its not Jackass or any of those, its Rob and Big. They are HILARIOUS and I love Rob's truck!
Ok so now you know my tv habits but that's just a small part of my life you will get to hear the rest in upcoming blogs.....
