Badger Cowboy

I am happy to be a Badger fan!

Look at all the cool Badger stuff. I am in heaven!

Move over, there is a new sheriff in town.

Howdy, maam.

Need to rustle me up some chow.

Hey, who turned out the lights?

The next few pictures are just some misc. pictures from Margo's camera. Wow, what a face in this one. He looks like he is getting ready to spit on the camera.Gotcha, you go clean that off while I talk with my bear friends.

I got the bug eyes.

Invasion of Tyler's Birthday by the Flippy Eye Doll

It was my brother Tyler's 29th Birthday on Feb 8th. We celebrated with a barbque. At some point in the night the discussion turned to Tyler's fear of flippy eye dolls. A flippy eye doll is a doll which opens it eyes when its in the vertical postion and closes its eye when you lay it hortizontal. They remind him of the movie "Child's Play." Tyler always decreed that his girls would never get any of these dolls. His wife Heather overruled his decision and bought Aubrey one of the most realistic flippy eye dolls on the market. Tyler now makes Aubrey keep it in a toy chest, and it is not allowed to be left out for the night. Being the understanding group of individuals that we are, we decided to bring the doll out and attempt to increase Tyler's level of fear of the doll. It started out relatively harmless, but as the night progressed we kept adding props to the doll.

It started out with a cigarette. I will also admit that the doll is a little creepy without any props.

Then she needed a beer.

Then we added the icing on the cake with a steak knife.
The elevated pigtails was a last minute addition. So after a couple of hours of tormenting Tyler, the party disbanded. But when Tyler wasn't looking Matt put the doll in Tyler's spot of the bed. I haven't asked what he thought when he went to bed later that night.

Taste Test

Ummmm, what should I eat today?
Lets try this pillow, it looks good.
Isaac with his bear gang.
Note...About two weeks ago Isaac found his voice. Translation: He babbles, shrieks, and makes all sorts of weird (and cute) noises almost constantly. Which makes it harder to get pictures of him smiling or at least pictures where he doesn't look upset.
Back to the test taste. How about this white bear, how does he taste you ask.....
Yummy!!!!
This bear is smaller, he must be dessert. Just a cute picture of Isaac laying on the couch.

Isaac and Grace

Isaac with his second cousing Grace. Grace is about 4 months older than Isaac. Notice the matching outfits. P.S. You can't imagine how many pictures we took to get just one picture where they were both looking at the same camera.

Isaac mid-sneeze with Grace looking on.

Grace teaching Isaac how to cover his mouth when he sneezes. That or she is teaching him how to pick his nose and suck on his figures at the same time. Either way I am sure it will be useful for him in the near future.

Feet

Since most people do the "Hands" picture we decided to go in a different direction and do a "Feet" picture. Heather was smart to put my foot in the back. I don't think anyone in the right mind would ever call my feet cute, or any nice word for that matter.

Isaac with Scary Pooh

I think a little background is in order for this set of pictures. Heather and I decided that we would decorate Isaac's room in "Classic Winnie the Pooh". Little did we realize that the creater A. A. Milne must have been a little tipsy when he first drew Winnie the Pooh as he accidently place Pooh's eyes below his nose. So we call this stuff animal, Scary Pooh, as it looks a little disturbing.Isaac giving Scary Pooh some love.

Rubbing my eyes is a great sign that I am tired, and will be asleep soon.

Yep, I am out like a light.
