Default Anyone out there with spider knowledge

As I was vacuuming my sliding glass door glides I noticed this spider with babes. She appears to be a Widow but not the brown or black type. She had very distinct red legs and head. Does anyone know if this is a Red Widow? I don't know if she had a marking on her underside.....thought it might be best if I didn't flip her over and risk making her angry.

I don't now anything about spiders but if I were you I would've vacuumed her in a second
Then ran out of the house screaming just in case the rest of the family was near by and wanted revenge.

Just awful! Spiders are the one thing that really scares the you-know-what outta me.

To me, that certainly looks like the Red Widow.
