The snake hunting at our house is never ending. Once again (and you can probably be the same one) these two snake hunters were at it again. But this time, Clara joined in. She was so proud of her catch. This was Clara's first snake. Now Jacob on the other hand, he's the pro. This red racer was almost half as long as he is tall. Unfortunately, he needs to learn that if you step on him to stop him, you have to let up when you pick him up. That snake now has a booboo. Despite that he was a VERY big snake and he was so proud. This has become a new evening hobby!

Memorial Weekend008

Despite the wet ending to a family camp out weekend, Memorial Day 2008, started off great. It was a beautiful day and nature was beaming. Living in Washington is a wonderful thing. The weekend started off with 3 elk viewed in a clear cut near our camp spot and many different creapy crawlys. Dad found 4 legged friends, and Jacob found slithery and crawling critters. Life in the great outdoors, what could have been better.

Sibling affection

Not wanting to leave brother out, we threw him into a few pictures. These pictures will truely haunt them when they are older. I can show, that yes, they truely did love each other once in their life!

Clara's 4th Pictures

Each year we head into Sears and have the annual picutres taken. This year we decided to not only do the typical pretty girl in her dress, but this year we decided to capture what Clara is into. In September, Clara started ballet lessons and is now, after 8 months, is actually showing what she is learning. We are excited everytime she show us her moves. Her first recital will be in December. I actally get to see her for the first time on the 28th, I am really excited. How fast they grow up!
