I just have to boast for a minute here (I figure that I can since it is my blog after all)...I think that I am married to one of the World's Most Amazing Dads! I love to watch Jed with our kids and feel that I am the luckiest girl on earth. On Sunday Jed and the boys built this amazing fort out of blankets and sheets in the boy's room. They have had loads of spy adventures already and have informed me that it is NEVER coming down.
Then yesterday Jed wasn't seeing any patients so we took the kids hiking. Just after we got on the trail the boys told Jed that they wanted to see a lizard. A few feet later Owen says, "Stop Guys. I think I heard something" (this is a classic imitation of Jed). Lo and behold, he had in fact heard a lizard moving in the brush and Jed caught him. He was HUGE! What a find. Then Davis says, "Dad, I want to find a frog". No kidding two minutes later Jed was holding a frog. Owen kept saying, "This is such a fun day!" Unfortunately Davis was very disappointed that his Dad never could find the bunny he was asking for, but the 6 lizards, the fire ants and the frog helped to ease his pain.
Side Note: Check out Owen's outfit. Jed kept laughing about it, saying that he looks like he is going on a major fishing expedition. I thought it was cute.

Are you sure you didn't plant the lizard and frog along the path just to make it a little easier? It looks like such a pretty place to hike! Jed, you are a great dad! This is something they will always remember!! You Rock!!!!!!
What a Hero! Those boys are going to remember this forever!

PS. Next time show them how to skewer the little suckers on stick branches... ;)
How much fun! Can't say that I would love the lizard catching, but still fun!
It looks like you guys are having so much fun. I'm surprised Jed never found a bunny!! We love daddy days, it's fun to see how excited the kids get when dad starts to really play.
They are lucky to have such a great dad (and mom!) Emma is the only one that is willing to hold little critters in our house. I love how the boys made wishes and they came true. I have a few wishes I'd like them to make on my behalf...
oh my heck, no bunny, Jed? You are so disappointing! :)
Nothing is better than watching your husband be a daddy!
