5 hours roundtrip

Yep that’s what we drove to go surprise Rhino’s girlfriend that we are going to call Sassie.  I wish we would of videotaped Christian surprising Sassie because I know we would of won the $100,000.00 grand prize.  She was speechless, about hyperventilating, and then just threw herself in his arms.  It was GREAT!  Awww young love…. I don’t want to post a pic of Sassie until I talk to her mom, but yep here is Rhino with Sassie.

Teary eyed

This baby right here is starting his Junior year of high school tomorrow!!!  Where the heck did the time go?  And why can’t I just have my Rescue Hero lovin’, Tonka truck playing, “nake” disliking, dirt playing boy back?!?

*sniff, sniff* I’m just going to wallow a little in the passenger seat as my little boy drives himself to work then maybe I’ll get ice cream to help me deal with Rhino being a JUNIOR!!

Busy growing up

What has Rhino been up to these days:

working crazy hours, soccer practice, Civil War re-enactment, driving lessons, hanging with friends, bonfires, going to a baseball game with great-grandpa, word working with PD, scoping out girls, looking into colleges and SATs, going to the zoo with his momma, Aunt Mischie, DT, and Nick, AND trying to get some sleep in That’s what our growing boy has been doing!!!

A little play time

Rhino has recovered nicely from his wisdom teeth surgery and has been working up a storm.  We decided to head to town on Monday night down to the Cruise in at the Bay for some down/fun time.

It was great to get out and spend some time together, my dad {or better known as P.D.} came along too!

All 3 of us had a great time, looking, awing, drooling, and fantasying about all the wonderful vehicles there!

 

As you can tell there was a whole variety of vehicles.  And of course there was quite a few of mine and Rhino’s favorites…….MUSTANGS!!

Chipmunk Phase

Rhino was going thru a chipmunk phase last week.  Really, Rhino just had all 4 of his wisdom teeth extracted last Monday!  I promised I wouldn’t take any pictures of him at all, but what kind of mother would I have been to keep that promise……. ssshhhhh….Christian has NO clue that I got this one and only picture of him.  Doesn’t he look all cute with those puffed up cheeks and the bunny ear ice packs? 

And can I say, our oral surgeon Dr. Basile was astounding!!  Not only did he keep apologizing to me when he was going over the instructions for the aftercare “because it is so much to handle all at once” and kept stating everything was written down and to feel free to call with any questions, but he personally called to check up on Christian the same night!!  You just don’t get that kind of service anymore.  Cudos to Dr. Basile, his entire office, and to Village Surgery Center too!
