How about that time last Friday I couldn’t wait for Jon to get home to show him Jack’s new Llama costume + he couldn’t wait to get home to show Rigg his new 4 wheeler!!
\nHe surprised all of us.
\nI would have blown the cover for sure, so it’s best he didn’t tell ANY of us. HA!
\nWe weren’t planning on going camping, but we couldn’t help it.
\nThe mountains were calling. NATURALLY.<\/p>\n

Here’s the deal.
\nWe rode together all morning, no one got hurt.
\nNot even a minute after Jon let Rigg take the reigns,
\nJonah came back down on his motorcycle in panic.
\n“Rigg CRASHED. RIGG FELL OFF THE CLIFF.”<\/p>\n

Those are words you don’t want to hear. He was scared. We were\u00a0scared. He was brave. Then there’s Jack.

\nEVER.<\/strong><\/em>
\nI’ll never forget that feeling of my heart falling out of my chest in sheer panic as Jon hopped on his motorcycle to go help!
\nI’ll keep a long story short — luckily all ended well.
\nAnother blaring reminder for me this week not to take my loved ones for granted.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/untitled-1-3-4.jpg\")

\nWe didn’t think to take a photo of him in the river,
\nit was intense up until we could come to grips with the fact that he was okay.
\nBig GRATEFUL prayers.
\nLife sure is fragile!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/untitled-4-2.jpg\")

\nHe’s still kinda a lightweight.
\nHe super obsessed with the boys’s toys,
\nbut falls asleep almost instantly when he finally gets his turn to ride.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_9071.jpg\")
\nJonah pledged to no screen time at school this week.
\nThe boys are using their imaginations like I’ve never seen.
\nWHO KNEW!? I’ve read the statistics,
\nbut seeing it stopped cold turkey has been the world of difference.
\nI try hard to limit TV time in our home,
\nbut seeing this much\u00a0a difference — in their relationship especially,
\nreally makes me want to get rid of it foreverrrrr.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
