We had a cookout at the lake today. My sister Marlette's birthday is today and we were celebrating Logan's birthday(my sister Dejah's son). The first picture is my daughter going into the water AFTER a snake had been spotted. I saw it with my own eyes. The nasty viper slithered in the water next to the rock I was standing on. As everyone knows, I am not one to panic. What should you do when you see a poisonous water mocassin slithering around in the water? Did I mention it was right next to where I was standing? You must remain calm. DO NOT panic. Remember that the snake is more scared of you, than you are of it. Stand very still and then SCREAM like a girl. Just stand there and scream and do nothing. If you are lucky, as I was, your eight year old nephew will bash it in the head with his fishing pole. (Thank God for eight year old nephews I might add.)

This is my brother Warren's daughter, Breigha.
This is Marlette with Dejah's baby Taylor. I have dubbed him "Piglet".

Looks like a beautiful day! I would have screamed too!
Happy Birthday to your sister!
Sounds like you handled the snake exactly as you should have...
I spent the day lying around with a migraine; but my sweet husband grilled steaks he had bought at the organic farm - and he even cooked potatoes and corn on the cob. And cleaned up.
You have a beautiful family.
awhh nothing like a picnic with cute chubby babies. I would have just had a heart attack and died if I saw a water moccasin near my kids, or me. They give me the terrors I saw Lonesome Dove. Those are aggressive snakes.
They are agressive. I was surprised that this snake seemed not to be afraid of so many people around.
We just saw a rattler today. YIKES. Snakes (ew). And an aggressive one to boot.
But your photos are precious.
All those kids are so cute, but the baby eating the watermelon is TOO cute.
Love the pics sis! Tell Marlette I said happy b-day!
