Day 6

I would like to introduce you all to Flip, Skip and Dip. Flip is the speckled one, Skip is the white one and Dip is the tan one. This morning I think I startled them but they quickly cuddled back up and went back to sleep. Therefore, I only got one picture. The others were too blurry from them popping around so much. I can't imagine cuddling in all that fur that surrounds them in this weather....my family is lucky they can hug me in this humidity!! (I'm kidding...I love my family)

Day 5

What a lovely muggy day!! Can you imagine laying in a bed of fur all day in this humidity??? SO glad I'm not a rabbit. Well, we have been trying to think of names for these three precious babies. Tim says Flip, Skip & Dip. Deb said Snap, Crackle and Pop. If any of you have suggestions, please feel free to let me know. No, we have not yet sexed them. Probably in another week I will handle them. They are doing great. I caught some cute pics of them sleeping this morning. I hope you enjoy

Day 4

What a beautiful morning!!! The sun is shining and the humidity isn't too bad yet. I remembered this morning that I have yet to share pictures of the Mom & Pop of this bunny operation. The first picture is Diesel, he is the proud Poppa! The second is Momma (that's her name) and as you can see she has some bald spots where she has been pulling out her hair to provide a nest for her babies. The next three photos are that of the babies. They are still popping around like popcorn when they hear their Momma. She really is doing a great job. I can't get over how much bigger they are than just 3 days ago. Well, I'm off to workout....see you all tomorrow!!

Day 3

This morning I went out and they were covered up with fur again so maybe Momma is trying to tell me something like, "leave my children alone!" Of course I didn't touch them I just stuck the camera in the box and snapped three (3) consecutive pictures. They are not the best, but you can get an idea of how in 2 days their hair is already starting to come in! We thought we would have a spotted one for sure, a white one for sure and then we thought the third would be gray, but it appears it will be tan. I have not sexed them as of yet since I still do not want to handle them. I will keep you posted!!

Day 2

I went to check on the babies this morning and they were poppin around like popcorn looking for their momma. She was at her water dish filling her tank up for another long night of feeding. For those of you who don't know, rabbits only feed their babies once a day which is usually between midnight and 5 a.m. The mothers also feed while standing. They are not like dogs and cats who lay down to nurse. I can say I'm glad I'm not a rabbit!! Here are three more pics of the babies that were taken this morning....

WOWSERS!!!!

I can't believe it has been that long since I have posted. I guess with all the Facebook and Myspace out there no one really reads these blogs anymore. Well I'm going to use this blog spot as a diary of the newest additions to our family.....our 3 beautiful bunnies!! This is Momma's second batch but the first batch didn't make it. She was bread again 2 weeks later and now we have 3 healthy babies. I will try to document their lives daily.

Back to the other family though....it was a rough 2009 but it 2010 is bound to be GREAT!!! Brooklyn was in a terrible four wheeler accident on May 21, 2009. She has healed up beautifully and is still as crazy as ever! She tried out again for the Junior High Cheer Squad and made both the football and basketball squads for 8th grade!!! We couldn't be more proud of her!! She has overcome so many obstacles and still comes out smellin like a rose!!! That's my girl! She's a fighter and those of you who know her well know that she fights for what she wants.

Happiest Girl Alive!!

So last night Brooklyn, Tim and I got to meet Bill Jordan and Martin Truex, Jr. live and upclose!! For those of you who don't know Bill Jordan, he was the man who designed Realtree Camo. And for those of you who don't know Marting Truex, Jr., he is the NASCAR driver for Bass Pro Shop. Now, I will have to admit, I felt a little corny walking into a room of men all dressed in camo just sitting around watching football, but let me tell you, these boys will make you feel right at home. I know they are human just like us, but man are they really some great guys!! Bill signed the picture we have with her and her first buck. He then showed it to Martin and said "this is our new guide right here....maybe we should be hunting with her!" She really got a kick out of that!! Above is a picture of Brooklyn with Martin on the left and Bill on the right.
