Mary's caterpillar "spike"

My mom found us a caterpillar egg. We have watched the caterpillar grow from the size of a pin head into this full grown caterpillar and then into a butterfly. Mary named him spike and loved watching him grow so fast. It has been so neat to watch!!!! Thanks MOM!
This is spike spinning into his cocoon, we were lucky enough to catch it. It only takes a couple of minutes.



10 days later..... Spike arrived in his new form. It was so neat!!!

Mary wasn't so sure about spike climbing up her arm. She started to panic when it got to close to her neck.
Sage with the butterfly, I love this picture!!!

Stetson and I (Justin) have just been checking out your blog cami. And we are just singing along with the music and laughing at Will's expresions. What a little crack up. Since Jenny is a none blogger, if you haven't yet you need to frame that pitcure of sage and spike for her.
Send us some more awesome pictures of the Fam.
Love you guys, and miss you
