Hey Dad, Glad you stopped by. We’ve created this site to help you be the best husband and father in town. Now, don't look for any high-falutin advice from some fathering expert. I'm just an ordinary dad who wants to…
The Eagle Has Landed – It’s a BOY!!!
Well, he’s here. Weighing in at 9 lbs. 8 oz. and a full 22inches long, Jedidiah King Wilson popped into this world on Tuesday morning at 6:33 AM.
It was a long, exhausting delivery, and it was only with her last bit of strength that my beloved bride pushed the baby out. When interviewed, Debbie said, and I quote, “Ouch.”
Everyone is doing fine, and although a bit weary and saddle sore, my wife is beginning to get her sparkle back.
The Great RV Make-Over – Back at it!
Although we’re sitting around waiting for Baby Wilson #8 to show up, I’ve been struck by the fact that we have to hit the road in a couple months. There’s still a bunch of stuff to do on the RV before we cast off.
Just to bring you up to speed, here are a few pictures of the reupholstered couches, the dinette, and some cabinets that I built myself (don’t look too closely).
Top 10 Things Not to Say to Your Wife in the Last Week of Pregnancy
- Honey, I don’t mean to alarm you, but have you ever read about anyone actually popping from being so big?
- Hey Babe, is it OK that I invited some of the guys from work over to see how big you are? They won’t believe me.
- Honey, come in here and see this horse giving birth on TV. Oh, man that looks like that’s gotta hurt.

Big Bucks, Does, and a Huge Squirrel
Last week I asked you to send in your stories and pictures of your deer hunting trophies. This year’s winner of the Familyman Big Buck Contest is Greg Pekham. As winner he will receive $40 in Familyman Products. So take a look at Greg’s mighty big buck as well as some other big bucks, a few does, and one huge squirrel.
Our first contestant entitled “Suicide Deer” sent in by George. Appearently it ran into, and through, a plate glass window of a local store…ouch. Sorry, George, its a good story and plenty bloody, but you didn’t pull the trigger.
Dressing Down Thankfulness by Brendan Bruce
As turkey day approaches and we’re reminded to count our blessings and be thankful for anything and everything, it’s important to remember why we’re thankful. First of all, I’m biased a bit in that I believe we should be thankful towards someone (i.e. God… you know, he invented turkey and all the trimmings in the first place) instead of just roaming around in a tryptophan-induced haze of general thankfulness towards all.
My Memory Tree
Hey Dad,
It’s been a red-letter week here at the Wilson home. Not only did we celebrate my birthday, but we also celebrated the first snowfall of the year. As is tradition, we ate dinner at Long John Silvers (don’t ask me how that one started), and we gave each of our children a new pair of gloves, or a new hat, or something ‘snowy.’
As hard as it is to make time for celebrations, the important thing about them is that they create memories, and those memories bring strength, love and comfort years later.

"Think happy thoughts...think happy thoughts!!!!" ""Uh, Mom...don't you think this is going a little far to save a few bucks on electricity?" "I could use a diaper change here!" "Tastes like chicken." "I've been framed I tell you...I'm innocent." You…

The Great RV Makeover – Week 6
Progress…I love it. Well, Merle the Amish RV carpet layer, spent a day and half cutting, stretching, and laying the vinyl and carpet in our “new” RV. Man, it looks great and lightens up the interior a ton. I would have included a photo of Merle working on the steps but he wouldn’t let me take his photo (it’s an Amish thing).
