Misson: Rescue Bunny

This morning, Q and I were living our own "Special Agent Oso" episode. ...It went a little something like this...

When I opened the door to let the puppies out , we heard the most horrible squealing noise. I got nervous, thinking that Kia had gotten something (even though I have NEVER known her to do anything like that) and ran outside. Immediately, I saw Kia, standing near Quinn's soccer goal...

...and then, I saw it...the sweetest little bunny stuck inside the net...

...it was so precious and so scared and squealing so loud! ...Q was worried and, despite the rain, we had to act fast!!! ...

Step One: Try to untangle the bunny from the net...only to discover that, no matter how sweetly you are speaking to it, being so close only makes it FREAK out!

Step Two: Go inside and quickly grab a pair of scissors.

Step Three: While soaking wet from the rain, cut the net off of the soccer goal, lift the net off of the bunny, and watch it run away!

Q was so proud that "he was ok" and talked about our Mission all morning! ... I think we deserve a "digi medal" FOR SURE!

Keep on Scrollin' ...

...Cuz the new posts keep comin'...Hope they make you smile! :)

Those rain boots that we bought for our sweet family pictures in April got put to good use last night. Quinn loves watching the rain, and since there was no lightning, I found it the perfect time to have some fun with my sweet little man. So, we grabbed the boots and ran out into our driveway. But, the puddles weren’t big enough! So, we danced and splashed and ran in the alley puddles for almost an hour! Quinn would belly laugh as I would chase him and as he would chase me. “Again, again,” he would say! And, we did it again and Again and AGAIN! We were soaked and didn’t care! It was a blast and a precious memory that I will never EVER forget! It taught me that I should be spontaneous more often! The going in part was not fun! He would have stayed out there for lots longer! I had to promise that we’d splash again soon! Our rainboots are waiting for us! …

The Perfect Storm

On Sunday, we were invited to spend the evening with lots of fun church families to hop on board a Catamaran. So, we traveled a mere 20 miles down the road and ended up at the coolest marina. It was shocking that I felt that I was on vacay and we were so close to home! …And, needless to say, Q was SUPER excited! He couldn’t wait to ride the big boat….and it would be his first time in a boat and on a lake! … We were greeted by TONS of ducks…a perfect welcome for my little man… And, then we boarded the boat…the Chamonix II. SUPER COOL!!!…   We sailed for a short while before we anchored and swam in the lake. Q strapped on his life jacket and got in the water with Daddy. Bless Daddy’s heart…it’s a lot of work swimming in a lake AND holding up a semi-freaked out toddler. …But, Q did good! It wasn’t as fun as a pool to him, but, as soon as he got out, he couldn’t wait to get back in. He slid off the boat’s slide and into Daddy’s arms. They were cute to watch! …And, I stayed on dock to be ready fro him when he had had enough…and it was a good excuse to not get in the icky lake water! :)…

Look at my precious BIG boy in his life jacket…don’t mind the yucky lake mold on it…ick!…

After all of that swimming, it was time for snacks and sailing fun! We danced to the MOST fun party mix, drank fun drinks, and hung out with friends…

  …but after a short while, the storm HIT! And, it was CRAZY!!!! We were soaked (until we realized there was plenty of room to stand under the covered areas) and hoped that it would pass that we could enjoy the rest of the evening…

…and, thankfully, it did pass! And, then it was time for more food, more dancing, and more fun!!!…

Even though we were on the boat until well after 10, and even though Q did request to go “nigh-night in my bed” a few times, he was such a little love. He would snuggle and kiss me 1,000 times…my neck, cheeks, shoulders, arms, nose, lips…it was darling! And I loved EVERY moment! …

The night ended with more sailing and some yummy ice cream that came in real fruit skins…Q and I shared a pineapple one and a mango one…and Matt had a coconut one in a real coconut shell. YUM! …

What a fun night!… Full of great times and fun memories! We are so thankful that the York family allowed us to be a part of such a unique evening! And, I’m sure we’ll laugh at Q’s future expectations of a boat ride! I don’t know if this boat experience can be beat! …
