I would like to announce the latest addition to the boating community! On March 10th of 2003 my wife gave birth to twin boys. Luke and Levi both weighted in at 6 lbs 1 oz and were 19 1/2" long. Everyone is just perfect. Our other children include Abbie, Andrew and Venessa. God has truly blessed us!

Children are a gift from the lord; they are a reward from him.

Psalm 127: 3

Here are the boys at 9 weeks (May 13th) ready for spring training.  How are they going to wash boats for me if they are playing baseball in the spring?????

Do they look like boat salesman? 5-24-03

Look how they dressed on 6-11-03. This is the day they asked dad to get them a boat. How can I refuse?

July 21, 2003. Here the boys are ready to head to the doctors office. Little did they know it but the later that day they received 4 shots a piece. "OUCH". Luke 13lbs 8oz and Levi 12lbs 11oz.

Oct 25, 2003. Here the boys are with their sister Venessa. As you can see they are starting to crawl all over everything. They will be walking soon.

Oct 31, 2003: Here is my wife Cecelia and the twins (with their first boat) on their first vacation. We were in Myrtle Beach SC for the week. Every one had a great time!

Dec 10th, 2003 - 9 months old. I can't believe how fast they grow. The teeth are coming in and both of them are thinking about walking. The both say Da Da and Ma Ma. I am working on them saying "boat ride" and "Jesus".

This is me with Venessa, Luke and Levi on Christmas Eve 2003. I am so blessed to have such wonderful children. They are truely a gift from God!

Here is my favorite Step-daughter, Abbie. This photo is at her high school graduation in June of 2002. She had personalized plates with "Abbie 02". I am trying to get a more recent photo, but she will not let me.

My dad is the motorcycle rider in the family. Here are the twins with there first motorcylces that Grandpa and Grandma got for them, Christmas 2003. Now they need helmets!

Here are the boys in May of 2004 riding behind me in the wagon.

Like their dad, the boys love the water. This was taken June 2004. I could not get them in the house. I think that is awesome!

You can not here him but Luke just said "dad lets hook up this 1962 14' Sea King and go fishing". That is what it sounded like to me anyway!

Here is my wife Cecelia with the boys in the pool at Lakefront Marina, Port Clinton. Some time around the 4th of July 2004.

Here we are on vacation in Atlantic Beach Florida (Jacksonville). If it looks a little windy, it is because we were there while Florida was being hit by hurricane Francis. Our prayers go out to all that were affected by the hurricanes.

October 2004 - This time we were in Daytona Beach Florida for the biketoberfest. I know, I am a boater, what am I doing at bike week? I was doing a little marketing for the other business, "Haul My Toys" www.haulmytoys.com
If you need ANYTHING hauled give us a try!

March 10, 2005.
This is there 2nd birthday with mom overlooking the whole thing.

It is already August 1st, 2005. The boys are grow fast and learning to say all kinds of stuff. They love trucks, boats, and the water. (I wonder where they get that from?)
The also love to "hook it up", that is way they have there John Deere bikes/trailers.

11-10-05 You are never to young to learn. Here Luke and Levi are helping winterize the Pontoon boat in our back yard. They really love boating and anything helping dad.

Here we are pulling our dock up the river in late June of 2006. Dad and Luke are on the dock while me and Levi are driving the boat. The boat is a 1962 14' Sea King. Nice boat but she was all she could do pulling the dock up stream.

Here is my wife - Cecelia - as we are getting ready to go for a bike ride in Fort Meyers Beach Florida. A little R & R for the family. Spring of 2006

The 4th of July 2006. Luke on the left and Levi on the right. They turned 3 back in March and they have a lot of energy!!!!

Here is my wife with Luke and Levi at the 2006 fall Cedar Point Boat show. The weather was great. 9-16-06

Here fishy fishy. Here are the boys in Melborne Beach Florida late in November 2006. I need to move to Florida!!!

March 10th 2007 - The twins are now four years old. Here they are on their new Spider Man bikes. Get your kids off the sidewalks, here come the boys!

Memorial Day 2007!

OH YEAH! Here is the family at Kelly's Island, OH (With out Venessa) for Memorial Day relaxation.

We all had a great time on the "Oh Yeah boat" 1967 27' Chris Craft Commander Sport Express.

The girl wants to be a gator! This is Venessa as she is preparing for her Junior year in HIGH SCHOOL. She is doing everything she can to be considered as a student for the Florida Gators. She has been very active this summer will all sorts of activities and should be driving by mid Sept. Good luck Venessa, we love you!! Dad

In Nov 2007, Cecelia and I took the boys to Disney to see the Power Rangers and the "real buzz". We all had a great time and we can't wait to go back.

I have been slacking as the family photographer. Here is Luke and Levi just after a hair cut in the back seat of the Mustang! Sit down, shut up and hang on! 6-18-08

If you ever find yourself with nothing to do, stop by my dad's house. He has a lot of fun toys to play with. Toys for kids of all ages! This is our friend - Steve Desko's - D4 Cat Dozer that just happend to be there on this day.

Still 6-18-08 - after pushing some dirt around with the dozer the boys wanted to go see the horse. I don't recommend wearing flip flops when walking through the horse area. YUCK, who is going to wash their feet?

Here is one of the newest photos I have of Venessa - my she is beutiful! Boys, leave here alone!
