Big Wheels, Trikes & Kayaks





We always manage to have so much fun on our driveway.

Jett has taken to cruising down the steep driveway on all his modes of transport: Big Wheels, Cars Trike & yesterday on his Tonka Bike with training wheels.

My mom & I were able to catch him at the curb or else we would have had a pretty serious tumble on his big boy bike. Luckily my little dare devil finally got a new helmet & was wearing it ~ thanks to Grandma Towns.

A Tale of Two Bunnies




As I've written many times, we are so lucky to live next to a nature preserve & in a truly beautiful area.

Monday evening we took our usual walk & our dog, Bogey, chased a rabbit. Thankfully, he did not catch the bunny, because that would have seriously traumatized both me & Jett. It was very exciting to watch, though, only because the rabbit got away.

When we got home, Mike started to do some work in the front yard while Jett was playing & suddenly he told me to put the dog inside & to come back out.

I can't believe Mike saw him because he was really hard to see (even after he was pointed out to me) but we have a juvenile bunny living in a bush in our front yard. He's gone in the evening but he stays there all day. Jett & I have left lettuce & celery for him but have otherwise left him alone.

It's pretty amazing to see him each day. I'll be so sad when he's no longer there. I seriously want to snatch him & keep him but I don't think Jack Rabbits make good pets.


Update: This morning he was gone.
