Spider Traps Catch More Than Spiders!

So last night when Shawn got home from work I went and opended the garage door so he could pull the bike in. When the door was going up, I noticed something in the corner of my eye, but didn't think anything about it. That is, until Shawn started staring at it!! IT WAS A SNAKE!!! we couldn't believe it. At first we both thought that we were playing a joke on eachother, I thought that he put a fake snake on the spider trap and visa versa. Well, to our surprise it somehow made it's way into the garage and got stuck on the trap! As it fell from the door I SCREAMED!!! snakes don't scare me, I just didn't think that it was going to fall.



We thought for a little bit about what to do, and we thought that the best thing to do was to kill it. If we tried to pull it off the trap we would have ripped it in half, it was already stretched pretty far. So, sad as it was Shawn severed its head with a snow shovel. I didn't want it to die slow.

And YES, Shawn is still making fun of me for screaming!

Family Picnic and a Chuckars Game

Well over the weekend, my mom's side of the family had our annual family picnic with her two sisters and all their kids. It's so nice to get together and see everyone that we only see about twice year. There was good food and the kids all had alot of fun playing together. I was very bummed that I totally forgot my camera, oh well, maybe next year!
Later that night, it was Blackfoot night at the Idaho Falls Chuckars, and Shawn had gotten free tickets, so we went. The game was so good, The Chuckars had a few bad calls (Like the other team hit a home run that went over the foul side of the pole, and the umps gave it to them). But the Chuckars rallied in the bottom of the 8th and came back and won it 8-6. I wish that I had a job had all I had to do was watch Baseball or Softball. I would do even if I didn't get paid. Its my favorite past time.

I just couldn't Help Myself!!

I decided to post a few pics of our boys. I think that they deserve a post every once in awhile!

This is Willis, he loves playing in the dirt and causing trouble!





This is Daunte, he is my little sweetheart.






And finally, this is my BIG Boy Cooper, we got him from our friend's Tommy & Lorraine.

Back Blogs

I have been slacking off really bad on my blogs. I will be posting one of our camping trip to Twin Lakes last weekend, and also, the Fourth Of July, and some other ones of what we have been up to these past few months. I really need to get back into the habit of this!

Our Trip To Twin Lakes

Over the summer us and my parents went in together and bought a camp trailer from one of Shawn's co-workers. Its in pretty nice condition considering its 38 yrs. old. The outside color is a little ghetto, but hey, it has a shower and a working bathroom. We were the first to test it out and it was awesome to get away. We were excited to head to Twin Lakes, which is just outside of Preston, Id. I had never been there, and it had been almost 10 years since Shawn was there last. It took us awhile to find it cause they don't post signs of where to go. After we finally found it we set up camp.





It was so funny, cause Shawn put a 2 gallon water container on our fire paper, and on the way down, the water leaked all over the paper, so we had to let in air out before we could have you fire. What a silly boy!

So after we got all settled in Shawn couldn't wait to get his fishing pole out. I was a little bummed, cause I didn't have a fishing lisence, so I just got to sit back and watch.



So, after about an hour of bad fishing, the water was really low, we decided to start the fire so we could cook dinner.



As we were waiting for the coles in the fire to get just right for our foil dinners, we were hit by a really bad rain storm, killed our fire, it was so bad that we had to wait in the camper for about 20 minutes, but when I opened the door and saw this, I couldn't complain!



The next day, Ryan, Shawn's brother came down and spent the day fishing with Shawn, and again they didn't catch much. Shawn was the only that caught something, but they were just little fish, not worth keeping.





We can't wait to go again, and hopefully next time have a group with us!
