Some serious blow by for sure Darrell, I think that you have a piston ,cylinder or rings severely damaged.

If you have to drive it get some thick oil or add a can of STP treatment. It's a good way to keep the smoke down and reduce the blow by out of the breather. Used car salesmen would do this to hide a smoker.
