Kelli and i are expecting our 2nd child early next summer. the due date is the middle of june. kelli is through the 1st trimester and all looks good. another piece of great news is that my brother robbie and his wife marci are due at the same time. our folks are ecstatic!!! i can hardly wait to hold a little baby again. dustys' 22 months tomorrow and when you ask him if he's ready to be a big brother he always says no. he's the coolest little dude on the planet.

my dad has had some health issues of late. he had surgery two days before thanksgiving and the prognosis looks good. i would still appreciate any thoughts and prayers you offer.

bud light and i have started a new relationship and i'm extremely excited to be associated with this strong organization. i have always been a bud light guy. look for new bud light brandon rhyder posters, banners, neons, etc. at a venue near you.

what a year!!!!!!! the band and i are taking some time off this month. we have a few dates, but for the most part i'm going to be hunting and hanging with the family. i thank each of you from the bottom of my heart for the grass roots effort you are each a part of. our growth this year has been amazing. you are the reason.

happy holidays to you all. be safe and please come see us again soon.
