I was at my inlaws this week and came upon this spider on a web between the house and a bush.

I have never seen one like this, it look a little like it is imitating a Black Widow, but it's not the same color.

Can someone help me identify it?

Nice photo! This is an orchard spider (Leucauge venusta), a long-jawed orb weaver (family Tetragnathidae) - see http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/go/553/
