Joshua's 1st Haircut -- EVER!

The cape, or giant bib, is on... time to cut the hair!


Getting down to business.

A few keepsake locks in the baggie... lookin' good so far huh?

I didn't even mind the electric razor/trimmer thing.
I passed on using the vacuum to get the hair off me though.

All done! That wasn't so bad.

December - before Christmas

I went to wake Joshua up Sunday morning and he just looked so comfortable.
"Do I have to get up, mom?"


He's getting so big.

We held a Christmas Open House for our congregation. This was our table of food before being eaten. I even remembered the table cloth from my aunt Claudia that goes with this table!

The our very 1st real Christmas tree we picked out.

Adam got Joshua all bundled up to go pick out our Christmas tree. I'm not sure he could move if he wanted to.

Sitting so nicely on his chair having a cereal snack.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas !!!
I do have December pictures to put up yet, you're all lucky the computer decided to give you the rest of the November pictures! Although, it's kinda sad... we didn't get a nice Christmas family picture taken in front of the tree with us all dressed up because when we finally figured out the right lighting for the room and height to set the camera the batteries exhausted and well of course the 12 extra batteries we have are CHEAP-Os and decided they were exhausted like 5 seconds after putting them in. Ughh! That also means we don't have any pictures of us (Joshua) opening presents either. : ( He really enjoyed opening presents this year, he'd take a piece of paper off and hand it to me and continue on like that. Adam surprised me with my present this year. I didn't have anything under the tree and then this morning right away he thought we needed to see if Santa came. There under the tree was a glider chair with an ottoman! That was one of the last things I was wanting to get for upstairs in a bedroom before the baby comes (we're 35 wks now) and he did very well picking out one I like without me even browsing stores first! He had it over at the church hiding up in the balcony I believe. He did this little stunt of his around 3 am this morning, pulled it off well too.
We had a real nice Christmas snow, especially if you didn't need to travel anywhere!

The rest of November

One day he was having a blast sitting on this rubbermaid cover.

Believe it or not he did not like this ball when it was first given to him.

He finally decided it's okay to play with afterall.

Some girls got it from a crane machine at Dar's Pizza. That night he was giving dirty looks to anyone who tried giving him the green ball.

There must have been a spot on the floor that needed cleaning.


Almost ready!
He must have an oven mitt when we're in the kitchen. He knows right where they are kept and now he can even open that drawer to help himself.

Here is our future Pastor Harvala... most common are belts draped over his shoulders.

We've joined a group that meets at Dar's Pizza, local pizza joint, sunday nights for yep, you guessed it... pizza! Joshua loves playing pool in their game room, these pictures are a little dark but the 1st one he's bending down waiting for the ball to come out (the white cue ball).

Then he throws it up onto the table and sometimes he does make it into the back left pocket!


Cousin Mallory needed a couple kitties, Daniel striped tiger kitty was fun to play with.
