Hey nice pics you've got Anna! But unfortunately, I can't help you here. Someone else will surely see that and answer you quite soon. By the way, they would surely need info about where you live to decrease the number of possibilities.

There are a number of jumping spiders (Salticidae). I used to know a guy who had one as a pet. It loved to chase the cursor around his monitor <G>
