Joshua liked sitting next to Great Grandma -- he got lots of dessert that way :)

This was a real treat -- hearing Grandma play.

Yep . . . I'm 12 months old and I have 7 teeth!

Mr. GQ himself!

Yep . . .this is Joshua in his "grunting" pose!

Joshua was SOOO happy to see his new rocking horse. It was a gift from John and Lucy Snow on his first birthday. John made the horse, and Lucy helped with the "hair!" It is absolutely beautiful.

"This is so much better than playing "horsey" with Daddy!"

Joshua gets his own private quarters at G/G Nelson's -- the walk-in closet!!!

Giddy-up Horsey!

Joshua was fascinated with climbing up onto the TV.

Our traditional phone call to Uncle Mark and Aunt Ayuna in Russia

"Mr. Big Blue Eyes!"

Goin' for a ride!

Looks like an intense game!

Joshua and Grandpa

Looks like Joshua's helping Grandma in the kitchen!

Many a naps were taken in the van.

Yum, yum . . .I love blueberry pancakes!

These are the blocks Joshua got from Grandma and Grandpa -- although by this time, I think he was pretty tuckered out!

Joshua opening his one-year gift from Grandma and Grandpa.

We celebrated Joshua's one-year birthday (a little early!) at Kent and Carol's. He wasn't sure what to think! And he definetely needed help blowing out the candle.

Joshua and Aunt Carol

The meal-time show!

Joshua loved "petting" the sheep!

Joshua loved looking at the floor-length mirrors at Grandma and Grandpas -- we don't have any at home!

Guess who taught Joshua to go up the steps??? HInt . . . it wasn't mommy! He was 11 months in this picture.

There he goes!

Joshua is really getting the hang of walking with this thing -- a wonderful 50 cent garage sale purchase!

I think I can, I think I can!
