Help IDing a spider?
These spiders are very common around our home. We've always called them "brown bush spiders". However, I can't find a reference for them on the Net. The closet I've found is a wolf spider. The pictures have a much larger rear section than the example we caught and photographed.
Any help identifying the spider would be greatly appreciated -- especially by my five year old son.
Here are two pictures attached:

Rabid Wolf Spider? ... Sounded like one of BW's " funny" answers.  THANKS for the answers, Reptscue & John_White. I appreciate it.
Well, at least the pictures turned out pretty good... even if the spider isn't rare.
