We've had 33 scorpions since moving here back in May, 9 of those were outside. We've had an influx of them this past week. I was hoping with the weather cooling down there'd be less. We finally met and talked to our neighbors about a week ago. They say they've been killing them every day. Their parents live just down the highway from us in virtually the same type of area and they don't get them...weird. Our neighbors seem very nice by the way, they have 3 kids...a girl just younger than Cam, another girl the same age as Emery, and a boy the same age as Joelle. The husband teaches and coaches at the high school and the wife owns The Grain Bin, a restaurant down the street from us. It's hard to meet people out here because we are so spread apart...people always wave as they drive by, but this was the first time we actually got to speak with them. It turns out they just bought the rest of the property behind and around us, so they were clearing some trees, etc.
Love this scrunched up silly face that she makes :)
This was how Emery originally dressed herself for the day until I found the shirt that goes with the shorts.
This is Joelle's favorite way to fall asleep. When she gets grumpy or tired she likes to bounce. She's been known to come and ask us to bounce. She holds her blanky and lays across your legs while you bounce her up and down. I thought she'd outgrow this, but she still likes to do it and is getting heavier and bigger and taking up more of my lap to the point I have to hang on to her sometimes so she won't fall off, especially if she's squirmy. She also talks giberish, makes sing song voices, and loud noises while she's bouncing...I have no idea why, she's a weird kid. I guess we should video tape it some time.
I love this pic of Joelle, as if she can't believe she actually gets to eat something so yummy and messy.

Love this one too! My messy little monkey :0)
