This snapping turtle lays eggs in our back yard every year but we have never seen it. It is probably not the same one from last year, but it might be. Or it might be one of the baby's from last year.
It is very cool looking, but I wouldn't want to hold it.
Here's some more picture of the turtle at different angles.

My birthday was great and I had lots of fun.
I got a new camera for my birthday and lot's of new clothes! I don't have very many picture's of the day so here's an over view on how the day went.
Hannah was very excited to use her new toy.
This was after she had finished her first picture she was very proud of herself.
Here it is.
Then she wanted to do another picture.
She was very happy that she got to paint another picture.
She used all the colors in the rainbow.
Almost done.
Here is Hannah's two beautiful pictures.
Carter loves to ride his ATV when ever he can, he's a pro.
Hannah loves to swing. She's a big girl now and wants to swing in a big girl swing.
Here's Hannah's beautiful bouquet of wild flowers
She picked lots more flowers to.
Sitting in the sun.
Our cat Oreo was trying to get out of the sun. So he found a shady place to sit.
Bradley was swinging most of the day.
Hannah and Carter like to play in the sand box a lot...
and slide down the slide.
"She so cute"
Carter flipped his ATV up on two wheels. Hannah was very interested in it.
Then Hannah to ride on the ATV to.
We all had lots of fun in the sun.
My brothers Bradley and Carter found a big pipe and decided to make a tunnel out of it with a road top. Carter shoveled most of it, I think it was probably because Carter likes to dig and work outside more than Bradley does. 
It's starting to get covered.
Bradley made the road all flat.
Hannah liked to play with the tunnel.
They all had lots of fun outside.
Hannah is always so happy when she gets to go outside to play. She is such a summer baby.
One of her favorite thing to do is swing on the big girl swing (as she calls it).
She got a little worried that Oreo (our cat) might get her toes I told her that he wouldn't but she still wasn't so sure about that.
Oreo loves climbing in trees.
Next Hannah and I got a watering can and watered the tomato plants. We hope that they will grow. :)
Obviously I didn't know what I was getting myself into because she went back and fourth about 20 times watering every plant in sight.
Hannah was very happy to water the tomato plants. She loves doing jobs. 
More and more plants, she loves to water plants. :)
That evening Carter was practicing his batting
