Start 'em young

Today when we were planning our Saturday activities Mike said he was going to mow the lawn. Thomas responded, "no, Thomas do it." We tried to explain that it's a Daddy job but he wouldn't budge. We laughed and agreed that he'll just run away when he hears the motor, as usual. Oh no, he still insisted that he was mowing the lawn today. He'll still want to do this when he's a teenager, right?

Our New Pet

Well, you have seen our friendly neighborhood BEAR. We now have some pictures of our NOT SO FRIENDLY Rattlesnake. It is an "Arizona Black" Rattlesnake. Or it WAS an Arizona Black.

This is our Headless Snake

Here is Logan, Spencer (neighbor) and Mason holding Fred. (the snake)

He made the mistake of showing himself while I was working around the house. He seemed to think that the retaining wall I made of rock was a good place to move into. Boy was he wrong.

You were not the
interruption of my life
You were the purpose
of my life. They are not the interruption of your life
They are the purpose of your life.

What was that again?

You have probably all seen this, but if you ever put you foot in your mouth or have a bad day, watch this!
I doesn't get worse than that.
LOL

And...

It's a boy!! They gave me a due date of December 30th, I'm a little farther along than I thought.

The Passage of Time

I remember when the 3 boys were teenagers/young adults and we would move the coffee table in the family room so they could wrestle and tackle each other. I suppose it stems from some instinctual need men (especially brothers) have to prove their brawny manliness. But now, in the decline of muscle-tone and hair, that rugged, jungle-like display has turned into "really hard" yoga poses.

Pictures

Isn't anyone else going to upload pictures of Melanie's wedding to Brent's gallery? (Russell) Here's the link once again...
