Jesse is 3-years-old today! We celebrated last night because there is a retreat here at the Ranch today and tomorrow. Jesse “helped” me make the cake.

He truly is an amazing guitarist. As you can see in the [...]

Here’s some blackmail material.
Jesse and Troy really do get along most of the time. Both boys are quick to show their affection for Mommy and me with big hugs and kisses. We encourage the same toward each other. Here, Jesse is lovin’ on his little brother. Hopefully this “Kodak Moment” won’t be used against him.
