Comments

I was just informed by my sister that my comments were turned off for all of my new posts. So sorry! I don't know how i did that. If you were to trying to leave a comment on any of my posts before, but couldn't it is now fixed to where you can leave a comment on any new posts, but still not on the ones you couldn't before.
So you can comment on this post for any of the others if you want.

(I was wondering why no one loved me and weren't leaving comments!)

Ready for the Lights!?!

Another tradition Jake and I do is doing up our house with a lot of lights! Just take a look for yourself and if you can drive by!

We also do the inside with a ton of decorations too!

Christmas Cookies!!

Every year (since living in Hemet) Jake and I have made it a tradition to make treats the first weekend in December and hand them out. At first it started out being just our neighbors, family and home teacher, but now we keep expanding it every year and include some friends we have made as well. It's starting out to be a fun tradition that i hope to keep up and do with our children. We always do sugar cookies and peanut butter kiss cookies, but for the third item we keep switching it up. This year it was pumpkin bread! We like to do it early so that people aren't already tired of holiday cookies.

What is it??

On Thanksgiving I was at my mom's house in San Diego and it was around dusk when i finally went to get my stuff out of the truck to stay the night. When my sister and i were coming back in we saw this big spider. We thought at first it was a small tarantula, but when we caught it and brought it up to show my mom she shinned the light on it and told us it wasn't a tarantula because as we could clearly see in the light it wasn't hairy like a tarantula. So we took some pictures of it and let it go far away from the house. Well since i love looking at spiders and knowing what I'm looking at i went on a search online to find out exactly what we were dealing with. It took me a while but i finally found a picture that matched our spider exactly. Our mystery spider ended up being a male California trapdoor spider. Which makes since for us never really seeing one before because they rarely leave there underground burrows. The males only come out in the fall to find a mate.
