Proverbs 22:6

We are fortunate enough to be blessed with 3 wonderful little boys: Jay, Cody, and Riley. We always say that we're not just raising boys, but we are raising husbands. This blog is for them.


Proverbs 22:6 "Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it."

All Pro Dad Day at UGA







Boys, today we had us a boys day out. We went down to UGA to the Father and Kids Experience sponsored by All Pro Dad. APD is an organization that was founded by Tony Dungy, who was a Super Bowl winning coach in the NFL (He coached in Tampa Bay and in Indianapolis). He is a very strong Christian man and has very high moral values. He is a role model type man. He has always spoken highly of the father's role as the leader of his family, but after a tragedy in his own family, he is even more outspoken about it. He started All Pro Dad as a tool for fathers to become more involved in their childrens' lives. His website, http://www.allprodad.com/ , has a daily message that it emails out, and I have been getting it for a little over a month now. It has really impacted the way that I look at things as a father. All Pro Dad has now started sponsoring / hosting these Father and Kid Experiences throughout the country. Up until now, they had only been held at professional sports teams complexes. Today was the first one to be held at a college. Tony Dungy picked Mark Richt (another role model type man) and UGA to be the first college to host his event. The purpose of the event is to get dads and their kids out of the house and spending time together. They brought in football coaches from a local high school to conduct drills with us. They had inflatable jumpy things to play on, and we got us a lot of free stuff, too....balls, cups, coupons, etc. But, the main thing was us just getting together as men and doing "guy stuff". I am so looking forward to the day where you boys and me can just get up in the morning and do our "guy stuff" all day long. I love to just hang out with ya'll. But, I am a real fan of Tony Dungy, Mark Richt, and the whole All Pro Dad concept. Dads are the backbone of the family, and I pray that I can be the very best dad to you boys that I can be. I love you!
