Welcome back!!!!

So for all of the people that have been following my blog since it's inception (yes Michelle I am talking about you). I have decided to once again start blogging. Please keep in mind that I work two jobs have two wonderful boys and a beautiful wife that occupy the majority of my time!! So post might be few and far between but I promise to try :) So without further ado here is my post:

Weight Loss 2012!!!

So on February 1st of this year I finally quit smoking!!! A big thanks to all my friends and family that gave me support while I was trying to quit. I would also like to thank (and promote) the Leslie-Cam Stop Smoking Center (www.lesliecamstopsmoking.com). Well after two weeks of being smoke free I noticed that I had already started to pack on the extra pounds (10 pounds in two weeks to be specific). I decided right then and there to make a change in my life, my beautiful wife had already taken the initiative to lead a healthy lifestyle so with her help I started making changes to my diet and exercise habits!! As of today I have lost over 60 pounds and look and feel like a completely new person. I have more energy, less back pain and an overall better outlook on life. Thanks again to everyone who has supported me these last 5 months I hope to continue in my endeavor to become a healthier person.

Nathaniel Eascoat

Hey sorry for such the long lapse in posts, things have been really busy lately :)
My buddy Mike has really gotten me interested in contemporary acrylic artwork. I have found an artist that I really like, his name is Nathaniel Eascoat and he seems to be a fairly new artist but I really like his work. Check out his blog at www.nathanieleascoat.blogspot.com Here is a sample of some of his paintings. Enjoy!!

4 things I love

Complete randomness just like I promised. This post just outlines four things that I love very much and couldn't live my life without.

1. My Dremel (okay I just bought it tonight, but I can already tell it's going to be my favorite tool ever)
2. Rolling Rock beer; there's nothing better than a cold Rolling Rock after a hard day at work (or having one at work, lol)
3. My loving wife Stephy; without her I wouldn't have clean clothes or any food. I would also have a hard time paying the bills and remembering the feed the cat :)
4. My baby boy Brody; he is literally the sunshine of my life, I cannot imagine my life without him now. He amazes me everyday with something new that he says or does

I am incredibly thankful for these things as well as everything else God has blessed me with.

Christmas Wilson Style

A little cousin love or head butting

The Christmas Mohawk

New train set that was too big for the train table we bought for it, oops

Taking the Christmas gifts on a shopping trip

Brody's Christmas program debut. Not ringing bells and singing but looking at us instead.

Holy Christmas Weekend, Batman! Four Christmases later and Brody is exhausted, not to mention his mother and father are too. I honestly can say, I think we all made out like bandits. Plus, we got to spend some much needed time with all of the family. This is my favorite time of year. Family, cookies, gifts, cookies, and time off of work. Did I mention cookies? Brody was really into the present opening this year. In fact, he had a hard time waiting his turn a few times. Just the mention of present made his eyes open into big, brown saucers and cause his head to go into a furious "yes" nod.

A couple of weekends ago, Brody made his first stage debut. If you have never seen 10 two year olds get up on a stage to "sing" a song, you should, it is highly entertaining. We have it recorded if you care to experience it. Needless to say, Brody is not an entertainer, he is a stage diver. He did it twice. I don't think he meant to dive but he didn't see the stairs the two times he ran to see us in the audience. He will make a great crowd surfer for concerts to come. Totally fearless.

Sorry ladies, the Christmas Mohawk is gone. It was a two day special only. Maybe next Christmas.

In case your not feeling the Holiday Spirit

Sorry for such a short post, but I know with the current economic situation and all the problems with the world today, it's easy to forget the real meaning of Christmas. Please use the following link to help bolster the warmth and cheer that is Christmas. Enjoy!!!

Sucks being sick

So on Thursday morning I noticed that my throat was starting to hurt a little. No big deal I thought, boy was I wrong. By 3:00pm I felt like death warmed over. I left early from work and slept from 4:00pm until 6:00am the next day. Whatever is going around can hit you like a ton of bricks. Thank God for orange juice and Coldeze. Well I hope everyone stays healthy and has a Merry Christmas.

Welcome to the Mac Family

Well thanks to my buddy Mike, I have become a Mac addict. I've only been playing around with the mac powerbook for a few days but I already love it. I always swore that I would never switch from PC but after using the Mac I've realized they are way more efficient. It will definitely take some time to figure out all the programs and options, but I've got a good teacher (Thanks Mike!).
I know make it my solemn duty to convert all PCers to Mac users :)
