Josh's Haircut

Josh has been needing a haircut for a while and decided this time he was going to get it cut differently than usual - so he went with a mohawk. It allows him to style his hair in a presentable manner for school things if needed, but he is able to wear it in a mohawk whenever he wants.

New TV

Josh and I have been thinking about getting a new TV for a while now, so when Josh found this 42" LCD television online in the classifieds for half price we knew we couldn't pass up the great deal! It's nice having a big TV to watch movies and television on and it fits perfectly in our living room.

New Gun

Josh has been looking around for a new gun, and finally found one he really liked that was in his price range. It's a Mosin Nagant M 91/30 - the standard issue Russian infantry WWII riffle. Josh can't wait to get out and shoot it.
