Mom to the Resque!

Okay, I decided I will write more often, even if I don't have the pictures to show right away. I will post those later, when I get them :)
Last Sunday we went up the canyon and roasted marshmellows with Adam and Joann, and their kids. (Brent's Brother) Brayden was scared at first, because there was a shooting range close by. He didn't like the loud noises of the guns. Once that was over he started to play. He and his cousin Dylan liked throwing rocks in the river. The babies played in the play pen.
The river kind of scared me, because the kids would get pretty close. Brayden was being very cautious. He bent over to pick up a rock, and Dylan pushed him in! Dylan is younger, about 8 months younger than Brayden. We were all standing pretty close, I was the closest, and I was holding Tyson at the time. I could see it happen before it happened! I got to him as soon as I could, and as he was going in I grabbed his free arm before he went all the way under! That was a close one! I can't beleive I grabbed him with one arm, as I was holding Tyson! I still don't know how I did that, I just did it. When your child's safety is at risk it just happens. I guess I have good reflexes :) We got him into dry clothes and we sat by the fire. He was freezing, but warmed up quickly. That was a crazy experience!

WOW! That is way scary! No more rock throwing in the river for Braydon. Good job saving him Kara.

Scary! Wow, that gave me chills just reading it. I'm so glad he's ok and that your adrenaline kicked in along with your motherly instincts. Whew! Way to go Mommy!
