Do You See What I See?

A snake, a snake wrapped around the pipe
It's just a skin but it gives me the creeps
It's just a skin but it gives me the creeps!
Greg found this skin in the basement of our house where the hot water heater is.  The scary thing is that this is the second snake skin we've found in a couple of weeks.  We've got the skins, but where are the snakes???

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my 39th birthday!!  One more year before the big 4-0!  Greg and the kids got me a cake and cards, and then we went to church for a dinner and scavenger hunt.  I think our new small group is going to be lots of fun and have great fellowship.  We won the scavenger hunt tonight!

Bubbles and Bikes

We spent a little time outside this afternoon, enjoying the weather and the flat driveway!!!
Cooper found the bubbles in the garage
 he even shared them with Reagan
 Reagan brought out the scooter
 she had so much fun
 the last picture of Cooper on his bike with TRAINING WHEELS
 No more training wheels for this boy.  He insisted that I take them off today so he could be a big boy bike rider.  We practiced for about an hour, hopefully, he will get the hang of it before too long!
