Mommy's taking us to the Zoo tomorrow......

Not really tomorrow, but yesterday! We went to Hogle Zoo with my parents and 3 of my siblings and their children. Since Caleb was attached to me, I got to be in all of the pictures with the kids.

Labor Day Fishing

I'm finally getting around to posting these. We took the boys fishing on Labor Day. We didn't catch any fish, but we still had a good time.

This is what I found yesterday.....

in my garage!! A black widow!!!!! I know they are pretty common in this area, but they are not very fun to find in your own home, especially with young children and a baby. This isn't the actual spider (obviously) but I did capture the thing in a jar for James to see when he came home from school. After I did that, I immediately called the exterminator to come spray our house for spiders. Luckily they came that afternoon! We still have the little devil in a jar in our kitchen. It's either going to suffocate or starve to death one of these days. It still gives me the heebie jeebies just thinking about it. Ugh.....I hate spiders!!!

Bone Marrow Donation

Anyone interested in registering to donate bone marrow click here.
Usually registering as a bone marrow donor costs $56 (the cost is from the extensive research of matching up the donor with the recipient). Well, NASCAR is sponsoring a drive for bone marrow donors which means Sept.7-Sept 22 this process will be absolutely FREE!!
There is a list of reasons why one can't donate on marrow.org, but really there isn't ANY reason why everyone of us can't do this (especially since it is FREE!!). I'm going to do it! I hope others will too!
