Brad Paisley's Kids Like Life On The Farm

Brad Paisley opens up to TheBoot.com about his family life and how he and wife, Kimberly, deal with raising thier young boys, Huck and Jasper, in the spotlight.  Brad says one key to their upbringing is having their family home on a secluded farm and in a safe environment.   "When we keep them away from the outside influences, it means that little bubble is filling them with my personal values, the things that are important to me," Brad says.

Brad continues, "We're kind of in a bubble, and within that bubble we've built we're able to do what we do in terms of how we raise them," the singer explains. "They don't know anyone has seen them in a magazine, even though we just did a shoot for People. I know you have to do a little bit of that but it's an area of discussion. Do you let people see your kids, or do you keep them totally isolated?" The couple agrees that it is best to do a little of both.
In Brad's music video for his current single, "Welcome to the Future," he says he wanted it to be about kids and what they dream to become.  "Kids' lives are all about now, but they also look ahead," Brad says. "It's a tough world but it's up to the parents to teach those personal values to their kids. These kids in the video, they're gung-ho to be whatever they can be, they are so ready. Don't tell them they can't be their dream. They're ready to achieve whatever it is they think they can do."
Right not, Brad's boys and just busy being boys, Brad says, "Right now they're excited about the heavy equipment that's digging out an area of our farm. They love to go down and see the excavator and the bulldozer and watch all the different things that are going on at the site."
