This is embarrassing to admit but I was that guy. Spent 3 hours a day in the gym, meal prepped everything, would get mad if I missed a workout. My kids basically grew up with me being physically present but mentally somewhere else. Blew out my shoulder last year and couldn't work out for months. For...

Caught myself saying 'is it hot in here or is it just me' while sitting directly under the AC unit I set to freezing. My kids looked at me like I lost my mind. That's when I knew the dad transformation was complete. We're all doomed to become our fathers and I'm okay with it.

So my son goes 'Dad why did the cookie go to the doctor?' and I'm like 'why buddy?' He says 'because it felt crumbly!' Then he just loses it giggling at his own joke. I mean it wasn't funny but watching him be so proud of himself made it the funniest thing I've ever heard. These are the moments man.

Just seeing what everyone's rooting for this season. I've been a die hard Cowboys fan my whole life but man it's been rough lately. My dad raised me on America's Team but I'm about ready to file for emancipation from the franchise. What keeps you loyal to your team?

Because it felt crumbly. I told this one at my son's soccer practice and got some looks but one other dad laughed so that counts as a win in my book.

Been working with him for like 3 months and today he just took off down the driveway. I let go and he made it a good 50 feet before he wobbly stopped himself. He turned around with the biggest grin on his face. Worth every skinned knee getting here. Proud dad moment for sure.

I told him it's because I'm a dad. He didn't laugh. I guess you could say my joke... didn't have a son.

Started this thing back in March thinking I'd knock it out in 2 weekends. Rain, wrong materials showing up, me realizing I don't know what I'm doing halfway through. But we grilled on it yesterday and the kids played cornhole on it today so it was worth every blister and curse word. Already planning...

I told her it's because laughter is the best medicine. She said 'Dad that's not true, medicine is the best medicine.' I guess I walked right into that one. She's definitely my daughter though because she has my terrible sense of humor.

Been thinking a lot about what real leadership looks like. It's not about being the loudest voice in the room. It's about making the hard decision that's right even when it costs you something. It's about taking care of the people under you. It's about leading by example not by orders. My dad taught...

One of the things my grandfather taught me was that your reputation is everything. If you say you're gonna do something you do it. Period. No excuses, no rescheduling, no wishy washy maybe later. I've lost friends over this because I actually hold people accountable to their word and myself to an ev...

Finally got around to starting The Bear and wow that show is intense. Not usually my thing but I'm hooked. My wife is watching some dating show and keeps trying to get me interested but I can't do reality TV. What are you guys watching? Need some recommendations that aren't cartoons since that's all...

I've been thinking about how to actually teach my kids what giving means instead of just telling them. We're doing a family service project at church next month where we pack meals for homeless folks and I'm bringing all three kids. Hoping this shows them what it means to live out our faith instead ...

My twins are 6 and they want to grow tomatoes. I'm building three 4x4 raised beds in the backyard this weekend. Never done this before so I'm going with simple cedar and landscape fabric. Has anyone done this with young kids? Any tips for keeping them interested in maintaining it through the summer?

Packed up Sunday morning to leave for a camping trip and got halfway there before my wife realized I forgot the tent stakes AND the cooler with all the food. We managed but it was a disaster. Now I've made a physical packing list that I actually check before we leave. Lesson learned the hard way.
