The pirate and the princess

He is still not over the pirate thing! It's going on three years straight people.... I guess it could be worse if he wanted to dress up like winnie the pooh everyday! There's always a bright side to everything!!!!!!!!!!!
Ivy loves her BaBa's like crazy

This is my girl au natural


Jaxon is now in charge of shop vac-ing all the rabbit pellets every morning.. ( He loves it)!

Cinderella

This is our cute new home........

It's really coming along and getting cozier by the minute. Wait till I post pictures of the enormous mountain lion that digs in our garbage... Stay tuned!
I promise this is where our rabbit lives! (don't judge)
if you look close you will see her litter box right behind her. She used to use it for it's purpose. She now uses it only to snuggle in..........Dammit!!




Do you have a bunny that lives on the rock that surrounds your fireplace? well, we do... So strange, creepy and cute all at the same time. Little miss Cinderella is not so little anymore. The lady at the pet store promised she was full grown and would always look like the sweet little supposedly litter box trained bunny she sold us for $24.99. She is getting bigger by the minute and is refusing to deposit her little pellets in her litter box. Now I'm not even sure that she's a she. I promise we have a cage less rabbit in our house that eats (I'm not kidding), one cup of rabbit food, 2 huge carrots, 1 celery stalk and whatever fruit scraps drop from the high chair a day. Thank goodness for the shop vac that I have plugged in ready to go every morning. I am starting to think that catching 15 grasshoppers a day for Fred the frog(R.I.P) wasn't nearly as painful as I thought. Sidenote: What the heck do people breed rabbits for? fur, meat, pets... Is this seriously a lucrative business? I can't for the life of me figure it out! I don't know anyone that eats rabbit besides my moms childhood friend (long story). $24.99 per rabbit isn't anything to write home about and I can't remember the last time I saw a tourist walking around the square in Jackson wearing a rabbit fur... please help me figure this one out!!!!!

Long time no blog...

What have we been up to? I am pleased to announce we are no longer homeless. We moved to a great new house in the woods. I have been decorating like a madwoman and making my nest cozy for my little chicks. I love it here! We have been busy doing the fall stuff that I love. We have made Carmel apples, carved pumpkins, haunted gingerbread houses, had some backyard bonfires, and had the annual, "Dinner in a Pumpkin"...... Good friends post pictures on their blog of their friends when they look good even if you don't..
Make that pictures of their sisters too.


Yaya and Jax made a pirate face pumpkin..........

Ryan brought his main squeeze home for the activities.....



I am afraid this mountain living is turning us into people who really look like mountain people.





One priceless night away from the kids at the Knotty pine. Enjoy the peep show!




Dinner in a Pumpkin



1 small sugar pumpkin

2 onions, chopped
2 cups diced celery
