The Katz Family: November 2007

Before and After

We finally paid the money, put him in the race car (in front of a cartoon) and had Simon's locks trimmed. My little hippie still has his curls, but he's a little less shaggy.

Before: hair sticking out of cap, cute as hell.

After: hair will probably still stick out of a cap, cute as hell, but a little straighter bang. The stylest complimented Simon on his highlights.

Thanksgiving

Alas, Simon's cuteness did not bring the Horns any luck. Actually it's their own damn fault they lost, has nothing to do with Simon's lack of cuteness.

I love this one

This is Simon's Pecan tree, planted 11/06.

A Date

an adult night at the Austin Community Foundation dinner.

Go Browns!

the Browns are winning! the Browns are winning!

presents!

Simon was not too interested in opening all those presents, he really just wanted Joan to read the Tooth Book, again and again.

cake!

Happy Birthday Simon Dietrich

that's right ladies, this man bakes a hell of a banana cake and ices a monkey on it by hand. Eat your heart out.

tasted as good as it looks

Simon's first bday poem, a Doerfler family tradition.

another shot of "gorilla face". BTW: that little jacket is another of Gpa David's, it's atleast 56 years old.

Gpa David also letting Simon get dangerously close to a candle he does not know how to blow out. he does however know how to say "hot" now. Everything is "hot", damn Paris Hilton.

Simon continues to reveal his genius

Almost 12 months pics

You really have to see this in person. Simon loves the book "Goodnight Gorilla". When we get to the part where the lights come back on and the zoo keepers wife is sitting up bed with her eyes all big b/c she realizes the animals are in her room Simon makes this gorilla/shocked and surpised face. This is one of the extreme versions.
