The Many Looks of Oscar--Part 7: Vizzini (from "The Princess Bride")

INCONCEIVABLE!

"Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha..."

Krunk!

When did Oscar learn how to Krunk? Must be practicing for his TV debut in 16 years...

Cankles

The cute lil' chub...



Cankles = calf + ankle

The Many Looks of Oscar--Part 6: Mr. Roper

Come and knock on our door...
We've been waiting for you...

HE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!

He went to bed around 9:30 PM...when I awoke to tend to his squaking, I happened to looke over at the clock (expecting 1 AM...3 AM...) and it was 5:15 AM!!!!! He basically slept eight hours. Booyah. Don't I just look bright-eyed and bushy-(piggy)tailed?! Let's hope this is a new habit!

Oscar's inner dialogue: "Why is she so excited? My minions don't usually look this rested. Hmmm... I'd better be extra cranky today to make up for it so they don't get soft."

11 Weeks Old

"Wait...how old did you say I was? Not 9 weeks, I hope..."


"Eleven weeks, you say? Now, THAT'S more like it!!!"

Monkey Love

Literally. A little kiss on the one thing Oscar has found that's HIS size...

Apple Orchard!...Part Two

Oscar, in the true Schlomer tradition, takes to his farming roots.

Oscar Deer....

This one was worthy of a close-up...

We tried to weigh Oscar on the pumpkin scale, which didn't work terribly well. But, we think he'd have cost about $5.50.

Apples, sunny weather, my two guys, and bluegrass music...who could ask for anything more?!?!

Apple Orchard!...Part One

Oscar experienced his first apple-pickin' day with ma and pa...an annual autumn tradition in our family. He decided he liked Honey Crisp the best!

A gorgeous fall day.


He basically slept through the entire exprience.


And an Oscar makes three...


Who doesn't like a good hay bale?!


Went with friends Patty, Joe, Mary, and Joe-Joe.

Happy "Talk Like a Pirate Day"!

Coo

Wow, I am so blessed to be able to witness this day after day. This was in response to me sticking out my tongue at OD...he apparantely thinks it's hilarious!

(And, don't worry...that was just a little cough at the end because of all the excitement.)

There Comes a Time...

Well, folks, it's finally happened...Mommy's gone cookoo for cocopuffs....

Roly-Poly

And so it begins....I checked on the little man during one of his naps and saw he had decided to snuggle on his side.

Bjorn-It!

While taking a walk to look at house colors for inspiration for our next house project (redoing our siding due to hail damage), Dave and Oscar got to try out the baby bjorn for the first time. Ozzie loved it...fell asleep immediately---his stamp of approval.

This is the coloring we're thinking of for the house....on a much smaller scale, of course.

10 Weeks Old

This is a MUCH better age, in Oscar's estimation. :)

More Smiles

Getting more and more each day. I think he's finally decided to keep us.

Drop and Give Me Twenty

The O-Train has been workin' out his biceps lately with a few reps of pushups...


"Five-hundred and ninety-two....."

Finally...The Jail-cell Has Arrived!

Oscar finally got his crib...with plenty o' room to spread out....

Fabi-Oscar

Well, Oscar is one fashionable little guy...partly in thanks to the great outfits made for him by his older cousins in Oconomowoc! In one day, he went thru them all (spit up, leaks on the other end, etc.).

Vivi's puppy creation

The Many Looks of Oscar--Part 5: Moses

I don't know if they had such bright fabric back in Moses' day, but if they did, gaurenteed he'd have used it. Moses was a fashionable guy...

9 Weeks Old

9 weeks old...and apparently not too happy about it!

First Roadtrip! Part 5: The Long Ride Home

Well, the ride home was a bit more eventful than the ride TO Wisconsin. All was well untill we past Eau Claire and I heard Dave say "Uh Oh"...and pull over on the shoulder of I-94. The car wouldn't get out of first gear, so here we were, going about 20 mph and wondering what to do. Luckily, we were able to coast down the Colfax/Elk Moun exit and almost made it to the gas station parking lot before the car stopped. God is good, though, because it could have been SO worse. We ended up joining AAA, and unpacking our "essentials" from the car before it got picked up for a tow to the Cities...and we hung outside the gas station for about 4 hours until our knight in shining armor, Dave Dover, was able to come and pick us up. (PS--the car's converter belt shattered and basically the car's engine needs to be replaced, so DAve and I are going to live off of one car for awhile.)


Hanging out outside the gas station...Oscar did SO well!


Lucky for us, this store was right next door. Ha ha ha.


Oscar snuggling with daddy after we moved inside the gas station due to chilly weather.


Our friend, Dover, rescuing us. It really wasn't that bad, but the most tragic thing was the gas station didn't have one of those automatic hot chocolate machines! :)

First Roadtrip! Part 4: Iron Man!

Go, Emily, Go! The main purpose of this road trip was to cheer on my dear friend, Emily, as she did her first Iron Man triatholon. After 2.4 miles of swimming, 112 miles of biking, and then 26.2 miles (a full marathon) of running, Emily ended up being in the top 15% of the 2,200 athletes and took SIXTH PLACE in her age division! So glad that she acheived so much from all her hard work--and had a blast doing it! We had a blast cheering her on...and she gave Oscar an Iron Man outfit to prove he'd been there.

Waiting

Here she comes!

There she is...

there she goes...
