The End Of An Era

It has finally happened. Brett Farve announced his retirement today. I know plenty of Bears, Vikings, and Lions fans who couldn't be happier today. They believe that their losing ways against the Packers are over now that we don't have #4 slinging the ball around the field. They are sadly mistaken. Not that Aaron Rogers is a franchise quarterback but he is good enough to use the weapons around him and win plenty of games. Just look at what Eli Manning accomplished and all he had to do is not make a mistake. It is with a heavy heart we say goodbye to Brett. Thanks for all the great memories. I am sure it will be many generations, if ever, before we have a quarterback of that talent and humility playing for us. It was a great ride. Who knows what the future will hold for the Packers in the ex-Farve era.....

Go Badger Basketball

Isaac happy that Ohio St just beat Purdue to give his Badgers a chance to win the Big Ten Title in Men's Basketball.

Not one of Isaac's more intelligent looking pictures, but cute none the less.

Isaac and Dad

We went to visit Helene, a co worker of mine from college, who was my puesdo mom. She always knew when I was hung over from the night before.
What is that????!!!!

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.

Heather and Isaac sleeping thought Tyler's tormenting session.

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.
