Fall Day

We drove up to the south hills today. The leaves up at the top are starting to turn and it feels like fall is in the air. The kids had a blast running around looking for bears, crocodiles, and flying chickens. Though we didn't see any of them. Joe was the self declared leader. But if you are ever really lost, my suggestion is not to follow her. She likes to find the most difficult and steepest route to go up. It was entertaining to watch them run around having fun. It was wonderful getting away for a few hours and spending time with the family. I've decided a cabin would be awesome to have.

Along came a Spider...

This afternoon I went outside with Joe and she wanted to show me something "Cool" She told me look at the web and I could see a spider. Just a side note. I am terrified of spiders, but since it was Joe wanting to show me I was willing to put my fears aside and be strong. When I knelt down though and saw the spider I flipped. Not only was it a big spider, but a black widow. I don't know how long its been there. But long enough that Joe knew exactly where it was before we even went outside. Holy macarooni. I called Brad so he would come home and kill it. Until then, I am leaving and not coming back until its done. Though I had to take a picture of it. Thank heavens I have a great zoom on my camera.

Boots for walking

Brody was pretending to sleep in my closet. He ended up trying on different shoes and presenting himself to everyone. I had to take a keep this one forever. He even walked the catwalk for me as I took pictures of him.

Pink or Green

I always wanted another little girl. Maybe Stryder can play the role of both boy and girl. He really couldn't decide which pair he liked best. So what do you think--Pink?? Green??
