Look what my mom found out in the courtyard at their house the other day! A nice lovely rat snake just over five feet long. It was making it's way across the courtyard and toward the porch when she saw it. Now, my mom is deathly afraid of snakes...so you can imagine her reaction. I was on the phone with her at the time, and she just about when into a full blown panic attack. She started yelling 'Oh my God...' over and over, and at first I had no idea what she was on about. I though that either some was breaking into the house or she was having a heart attack. Then the screaming and F bombs started flying. Only a snake can get to her like that.

Memory Mondays 5/23
Today, I'm taking part of the Momory Mondays Blog Hop. This week it's hosted by Modern Mom Redifined and Karen's Healthy Lifestlye. Basicly, you write a blog post about a special memory. Well, here goes:This past Christmas was Hannah's first. We had our first round of presents on Christmas Eve with my in-laws. The second round was super early Christmas morning since Jason actully had to be in at work by 8 a.m. Stupid Wal-Mart. Our third and final round, which was when this picture was taken, was with my parents.Hannah had been eager to open presents until she discovered the teething biscuts.

We got the biscut aways from her, but once she started crying we gave it back.If your interested in joining the hop, visit the hop page. ...
