Not for the faint hearted

So the typical person when opening a door and seeing a huge spider would go and knock it down and get rid of it. Me on the other hand I ran and grabbed my camera. This is a Cat Face spider because of the 2 bumps on its back end that look like cat ears. The sun was just coming up and made all those hairs just glow. The spider web it made was big. It covered the top third of my doorway.

Oops...forgot one!

I shouldn't have forgotten this one! It's one of my favorites. We went to a pond down the road from us and the boys can't resist throwing rocks in water.

All in the same picture?!!

Out of who knows how many pictures I took of the boys together I was lucky to get one decent shot! Boys will definitely be boys in front of a camera, and even more so if their mom is using it to take the pictures! I could look at their beautiful smiles all day!

My sweet Joshua

Joshua usually is a happy go with the flow kind of kid, but when it comes to taking pictures all the brakes come out. I love to take his picture....but he does not like me taking his picture. Somehow I managed to get a couple smiles out of him playing in the grass and talking about star wars video games. I'm so lucky to have this sweet boy!

My handsome Caleb

I can't believe Caleb can look me straight in the eye now! Pretty soon I'm going to be the one looking up! Caleb was so cooperative for these pictures. I really appreciated it! (Maybe it was the ice cream at the end of the shoot that was motivating him. :)

I love his hazel eyes!

Gotta love the grass in the mouth...you'd think we live in Idaho or something.

That sign behind behind Caleb has meaning! :)

My Sweet Smiley Andrew

I can't ever get enough of Andrew's smile! It melts me...I think he knows it too!

A short lived experience

This year Caleb tried football. He came home from practice wiped out and soaking wet from sweat. The practices were tough. Caleb wasn't lovin' football like he thought he would. He wanted to quit but Jon and I encouraged him to try and make it to the first game and see if he liked the game. So he did and he really enjoyed the game. But then practice came around again the next week and Caleb was done. We always thought Caleb would love football because he loves to be rough and tough and he's a big boy, but looks like football is not meant for him. He would like to go back to soccer. So here are some pictures of the small window of football for Caleb.

He got to be a captain for the game. He's #29

Caleb's right up there in the front of the line!
