Perfect Grandma!

The other day at work I was shower aid. It was one of my last showers on my shift. My partner and I was washing her down then I started washing her hair. She told me to scrub really really hard, I thought I was going to hurt her I was scrubbing so hard. Then I asked "Aren't I making your head tender?" She said "Oh no dear, The only place that's tender is my heart." Isn't that the cutest thing EVER?! I declare that patient the cutest rockin' grandma of all time!

Just our luck

Dave and I have discovered that when we have a "big day" something tragic happens. For example our wedding day, Michael Jackson died (but Dave says that's not all that tragic). Well yesterday, the day Dave graduated, one of our baby bunnies died. I was so sad, I just cant help to think past the point of If I cant keep a baby bunny alive, how will I be able to keep my kids alive?! We think that the mamma sat on the baby :( Im pretty sure we wont sit on our babies, but still I'm so paranoid now. On a good note, the whole Elizabeth Smart thing was wonderful news.

Today will be a better day for Hannah. The baby bunny's death kind made her really sad. We've got fun stuff planned for today, though. Due to conflicting events, we had to schedule my "hooray you graduated" dinner for this afternoon. We'll be eating at the famous Bucca di Beppo in Salt Lake.
We also decided to get a Kinect system for our X-Box. We played a demo model at the store the yesterday and Hannah thought it was fun. I did, too. It's much better than the Wii, I think. Hannah's excited to get some dancing games. Merry Christmas to us!
We'll post graduation pics as soon as we can get them uploaded.

Dennis = Denise

So...
Dennis is a Denise. Who knew?
Way back when, Hannah decided she needed a little critter to love and take care of when I was at work. We got a little black dwarf bunny and named her Harley. Then Hannah decided that Harley was lonely and needed a friend. We got Dennis and Harley proceeded to beat six different kinds of snot out of poor Dennis. We sold Harley and got Dennis' brother to be a friend.
Everything was going swimmingly. The bunnies were getting along great. A little too great as at times as we'd catch the other bunny, who we named Carl, engaging in what could only be described as bunny prison rape. We didn't think too much of it because we thought they were both males, and one of them was gay.
We were wrong.
This morning, I noticed that the bunnies had thrown a bunch of their bedding out of the cage and bent down to clean it up. I heard squeaking and much to my surprise, I was in time to see the last of four little baby bunnies enter the world.
Well, crap.
Hannah was taking a friend home from visiting our place when she got my call. She immediately turned around and raced home at 85 MPH.
The second thing I did was to separate Carl from Denise and the babies, as he apparently decided that the best way to celebrate fatherhood was to try and make more babies.
After some frantic Googling and texts and calls to people who know about baby bunnies, we got the babies and the mother set up in a warm, cozy box.
Long story short- anyone want a little baby bunny? Please?



Two months, and they're yours. For a small, reasonable fee. Get your orders in now.




Aww... Look how cute. Its like he's saying, "Buy me! I'm cuddly!"

Winter is here

It offically feels like winter with Christmas on its way! My house is mostly decorated with the appropriate decor and Christmas music playing. I love how its snowy and cold outside and warm and homey on the inside, mostly with comforting aromas like bread, or cookies, or hot chocolate. Mmmm

awesome surprize

So yesterday I was also at my parents house making dinner. My mom came home from the DI and said she had the coolest thing ever. I was not imagining anything close to a cupcake tin, but it really is the coolest thing ever, and I cant wait to make cup cakes with it. THANKS MA!



P.S. If you ever need super cool cupcakes for anything, I can make you some. Ill only charge you the cost of the ingredients and a small fee. :)

My Good Excuse

So I really want to put up my Christmas decorations early (as usual), but Dave won't let me for a few more weeks. So I decided to run my brain and come up with a really good excuse yesterday, and this is what I came up with: "Honey, I need to talk to you. I've been thinking about something. Its Thanksgiving time, and you know we show our gratitude for everyone and everything, Right? Well, I am feeling inspired to put up our Christmas decorations up before thanksgiving to show Heavenly Father and Jesus how grateful we are for them." You think it worked, right?! Nope. It didnt. Dave just laughed hard like a bowl full of jelly and told me how cute I am. LAME!

Be Grateful!

Right now we have one car that works. All though its been quite a burden and a puzzle trying to get Dave and I to where we need to be on time. Its kind of nice just using one car. Less money for gas, more car rides together, and "helping the environment". It has made me stop to think about my life and how blessed I really am. I guess its one of those things that you start to get frustrated over, then realizing that your lucky and blessed to even have a car.
If it wasnt for my friend who has helped me lately about being positive and having a good attitude and about my spirit, I would be so miserable and a grouch monster! :) So thank you friend, for making me a stronger person today, then I would have been by myself. Cheers!
