BOOTS ARE MADE FOR WALKIN'
To stoke a fierce fund-raising battle between Texas and California District Managers for Farmers Insurance Group, we were invited to share our story and put on a little show at a gathering held Feb. 6 at an airport hotel.
Playing off the word "march" in the
March for Babies campaign, we came up with having Jake sing and Josh dance to the tune of "Boots Are Made For Walkin,'" with Zac helping tell our story.
The song went over so well that Jake didn't even get to do the chorus for a second time, as planned. He was interrupted by an extended standing ovation -- or, as he later described it, "One person stood up, then another, then everyone." The diva also later said, "I told you they would do that." Then he proceeded to sign autographs for everyone who was interested and for those he convinced to become interested. (A few days later, we received the following note from his teacher: "Jake enjoyed singing for the class during Show & Tell! He then told the children that famous singers like to give their fans autographs and so he did!")
Below are a few pictures, all of which are also part of the online photo album connected to

Even after the show, Jake was still performing.
Here's Zac with some of the loot he gathered
at the trade show that was part of the Farmers gathering.
Josh found a toy he wanted to take home
from the trade show - a $13,000 Ducati motorcycle.
