Todd's 6th Birthday

Todd had his bday party a few weeks ago and it was an army theme. He loves camouflage stuff right now! Here is a picture of his awesome cake!

This is SCARY!

Corey was leaving for work the other day and found this.... A rattlesnake in our driveway! EEEK! He came in and got me and I told him to wake up the kids. We showed them the snake because I am always telling them if they go out back and play to not reach under their toys and to watch for snakes. I guess I should take my own advice and stop reaching into my garden when I cannot see what is under the plants. :) Well now I am completely grossed out and paranoid so I am checking everywhere now for snakes because our house is right next to a desert area and then a big field of corn. And to make matters even more interesting my Meme told me "where there is one snake there are others!" SO I am considering moving now! LOL!

Sorry to any snake lover out there but this is the snakes last breath or slither or whatever it is they do.

Oh and here is my snake rangling husband!
