yikes!

Can you guess what he's shooting at? :)

A Rattlesnake!!!
Then dad got home from riding his bike, and cut the head off with the shovel!


It had 9 buttons!
This is the third rattlesnake we've found this year! We really really dislike these things, but somehow they feel welcome! Kolton and Joy were out playing in the yard by the house and Joy almost stepped on it. Kolton saw what it was and made her run to the shop! So thankful for wonderful big brothers! :]

family vacation '09!!!

This is where we traveled to first..

As I was buckling the girls into their carseats I heard Sadie tell Joy "Joy, you're my best friend and we'll always be best friends!" Joy agreed. ;]
