my little man

is it just me or is this little guy growing up too fast??

here he is helping his daddy put the trampoline together.

and wearing his towel like a big boy after the shower.

be still my heart!

holding penalty

we need to work with jack some more on how to appropriately hold baxter, but these two pics show his best attempts.

the snake hunter

there have been two snake sightings in our neighborhood in the last 10 days. to protect us from these animals that scare the poo out of me, we got this guy...

isn't he ferocious??

buster is not so sure about him

the kitty is not so sure about jack

the girls love him! no name yet...sorry.

visitors for the weekend

the weekend started off with a bang! reese's teacher called me to see if we would host the class pets (hairless rats) for labor day weekend. who was i to refuse?

then the walkers came for the morning to go fishing and explore the state park.

the rothenbergers came on saturday afternoon so they could hear colin's first sermon

as pastor of fbc. (sorry to jack for being behind my ginormous head).

later in the weekend, we decided to feed the spiders in the backyard and catch it on film...so fun.

our special visitor before church on sunday

and here are some of the fish we caught at the park...

hmmm...whose is the biggest?? (i'm just sayin!)

not pictured was the snake that colin found when we were searching our yard for catfish bait!

thanks to all creatures great and small who made our labor day weekend special. the only one not invited back is the snake!!
