Sweet cheeks!

Aww, Jacob posing.

A serious pose, from a not-so-serious boy. My son, Jacob.

Cheese!

Cute cousins!!

Katherine loves to hug and kiss!

Here is Katherine trying to "ride" this cat that just showed up at our house a couple of weeks ago. We call him Sylvester.

GRACIOUS SNAKES ALIVE!!

Here is a picture of a "Mud Snake" that we found slithering across our backyard. It was really nice and gentle (as far as snakes go). The kid's had so much fun playing with it.

Here is a close-up shot of the snake. What a neat pattern!

Katherine just wanted to kiss it!

Travis told Stephen he would be a "Stud" if he picked up that snake. He loved every minute of it and wanted to keep it. Yikes!

Just before we released the snake, Jacob mustered up the courage to hold it. As soon as it began to slither up his sleeve he chucked it down to the ground.

Squirt!!
