3 Bunnies a Day!!!!

OUR BUNNY ADVENTURE!!!


These are pictures from our adventure with the 3 baby bunnies!!

My cutie pie city boy calls me one day no more than a couple of minutes after he left the apartment and says that there is a itty bitty baby bunny that needs help. So I run down to him and he managed to get the one picked up in an old towel he had in his car, and as we are standing there trying to decide what to do, one of the grounds keeper walks up and hands us another baby bunny that he had in his POCKET!!! So now we have two baby bunnies, then we saw the third and picked him up as well. So we were standing there with this now what look and the only thing I can think of is DADDY WILL KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!! He know everything!!! I can't remember exactly the conversation but we ended up putting the baby bunnies in the kitten carrier ( no the kittens were not in it ) and took them over to my dads house were we could take care of them till they were strong enough to be let go. These are just some of the pictures I have more on my dad's camera. Oh and these pics are in total random order, I try to download them in order but when they post they end up all screwed up, sorry.

This is Cracker and Peanut,
Peanut was the runt and we had the hardest time getting him to eat with the eye dropper,
and baby bottle, then we couldn't get him to eat grass or bunny food, we though for sure he
wasn't going to make it, but in the end he was the only one that did.
Poor Cracker and Jack passed away for unknown reasons, they were the strongest!!

This is before Jack passed away he is the little guy in the corner,
Peanut and Cracker are hiding in the blankets

Jack and Cracker

Frosty ( my dad's cat ) liked to watch them, he never tried anything but he was curious

Little Jack - he was such a good bunny, the first to eat with the baby bottle, the first to eat grass and bunny food. He was such a good little guy, he like to jump and would tease the cats. Poor little guy. I hope he is in bunny heaven having a grand old time :O)

Me holding baby Peanut while Lt. Mary feeds him. Peanut was such a scared little guy,
he only liked me :O)

This was the first day, we set up the light to keep them warm,
they were sooo tiny

All three of them, in their nest, the first day

After we had them a couple day we took them out side so they could "play" in the
grass. This is Jack - he loved the grass!!

Cracker and Jack -
they were absolutely terrified to be in the sun light and all they did was hide

Kitten milk, baby bottle, and eye dropper we used to feed them

Well that was our adventure. Only one made it, Peanut, and was released at my uncles house. The other two were the strongest of the 3 and why they passed away is beyond me. It was almost like they were fine one minute and gone the next. Cracker and Jack Rest in Bunny Peace. I have to get a hold of my dad's camera but I will post the release.

The Cutest Darm Thing I've Ever Seen

HEHEHEEH This morning I just saw the cutest darn thing ever. I was sitting on my balcony drinking my coffee and taking to my dad on the phone and watching the ducks on the "lake" and there was this little baby duck all by him self just a zippin around the middle, it looked like he was just havin the time of his life, then all of a sudden his mom darts out from the shore where she and all of her other babies were eating and goes and gets him and I swear she scolded him. She actually made him follow her back and I'm pretty sure he got a "time out". It was just soooo darn funny to see this. It almost gave you this feeling like I shouldn't be staring at them, you know the way you feel when you are in a store and a mom is scolding her kid, you don't want to stair, well at least I don't cuz I feel rude. But of course I did cuz you never see an animal being scolded. You never actually think of a duck as a "good mommy" but she sure was. And in a way I almost felt bad for the little duck. Just about every body knows I LOVE ANIMALS so this totally made my day. Then as if that wasn't cute enough the mommy and all her babies were swimming by the shore eating and she has an albino baby! It was all white with a bright orange beak, soooooo cute. I love ducks. Oh and I saw some baby bunnies eating they were cute too. I just wanted to run down there and play with them all.


Oh and I don't think I told anybody, WE HAVE BABY BIRDIES!!!! Well we don't but we do..... anyways a few months back we put up a bird house for some morning doves well they were scared off but these other birds and they made a nest and now there are babies!!! I haven't seen them cuz they are hidden pretty well by the nest, I must say those birds sure do know how to build a nest, but I can hear them. If you are kind of quite you can hear them with their cute little peeps, and you can watch (from inside) as the mom or dad or both bring them worms. Good little baby bird parents. I love nature!!!

Oh and now some bad news - THOSE BASTARDS CUT DOWN A TON OF TREES!!!!!!
O.K now that I have that out of my system. Yesterday the apartment complex cut down quite a few trees, and they were trees that had bird nests in them. It really makes me sad cuz one of the trees was a pine just off my balcony and Tinky and Nizzy would watch the birds sitting in it and squirrels would climb it and jump to the roof and down onto the balconies and look for food and well it now what are the little critters going to do. If I would have know that they were going to do this I would have protested. Chained myself to the tree or something but now its just gone, along with others. This really makes me MAD!!!! And if I wasn't so small I would go kick their butts!!! I can't wait till I get a house, then I can protect the animals more and they will have a safe place. Poor little critters. People are sooo rude to them. Just cuz we are bigger doesn't mean that we can just take every thing over. GRRRRRRRRR!!!! Screw this it's just making me mad I'm going to watch the ducks so more. Have a good day as long as you don't cut anything down!!!!

Pictures From Our Trip To The Childrens Museum In Indy

These pics are totally random - I couldn't get them to stay in order, but that's o.k. - Ryan and I were lucky enough to be able to take a short 3 day vacation to Muncie to see Mary and Erik back in May. We had soooo much fun. These are some of the pics from our trip to the museum, I took a ton of pics but I hope this at least shows the FUN we had. Oh and in case you aren't sure No - neither Ryan and I nor Mary and Erik have any children, and Yes we are all adults Mary and Erik are 22, I'm 24 and Ryan's 30 - so I guess this proves your never too old.

Ryan getting his hair did -
this was part of one of the "sets" - It was really cool they took books and
made a "set" of one of the important parts, only problem is I can't remember what
book this was from :O(

Mary and I having tea with the three bears :O)

I love this Clock

Couch Potato??

Driving back to Muncie - we got bored

Taking a ride

Ryan found a car

Erik took it for a spin too!

Now I know how he gets his curls :O)

We did this spy mission - the boys got a little too into it so
Mary and I went on with out them the best part was they actually
thought it was real and they were really solving a case - silly boys :O)

Erik cracking a safe - Mary did it first though, I just didn't get a picture

My hubby :O)

Ryan and I

Mary and Erik

Hello Mr. Bear

This was the spy mission

HEHEHEHE!!!

Oh you are soooo sly :O)

Enough Said!!!!

Thanks for the awesome weekend guys :O) We Love you!!!

I've missed a whole month!!

Holy Cow!!! I can't believe that I haven't posted anything for a whole month, but I have been soooo busy.
I ( and my dad ) threw my little sister a graduation party last weekend so that took a lot of time to plan. Well, the party it self wasn't hard to plan, it was the getting my dad's house ready for the party that was hard. Like the true Hektor's we are we decided about 2 weeks before the party that we should paint the house ( the inside ), so I have spent every waking moment at my dad's house painting, and cleaning, and.... and .... and... I can't even wrap my head around everything I have done at that house. I managed to get the foyer, Family Room, Kitchen, Laundry Room, and Bathroom painted, we didn't get a chance to get the the living room or dinning room, but I glad we did it. The party was fun, water balloon fight and all. We are sooo proud of our little Mary, oh and she has already gotten a job. She is the Kindergarten teacher at St. Jude's in South Bend, Yeah Yeah Yeah we are soooo excited for her. She reached her goal!!!! What an awesome baby sister :O)

Oh and while all this was going on my hubby rescued 3 baby bunnies. Yep my city boy saved 3 baby bunnies - I guess I'm rubbing off on him :O) They were soooo little we had to feed them with an eye dropper for about the fist week, then we were able to move to a tiny baby bottle. I'll post more of their story with their pictures. They were sooo cute.

In the next couple of days I'll post more including pics from our trip to the zoo and museum from last month, pics from Marys party and my bunny pics.

Its been 10 days??!!

Wow, I can't believe its been 10 days since I last posted??!! This may take a while!!

Lets see what has happened....

Ryan ( and I ) have been on vacation for the past two weeks. Things have been busy. I quit my part time job ( actually on April 30th ) so now I can volunteer full time. I am working on volunteering at the hospital reading to children, along with helping out at Pet refuge, and catholic charities. I don't have everything scheduled out yet but I'm working on it.
Ryan and I have been looking for houses. We actually found one that we really like but we don't like the price. So we are just going to keep looking. Plus it is only the 2nd house we saw so there maybe something better out there for us. My feeling is that if we are meant to have this house then it will be there when we are ready and they will take less for it :O)
Ryan has been working on his car. He's so cute. He acts like a little boy who has a really cool toy. He'll ask me first thing in the morning "if it would be alright with me if he went and worked on it for a while", he promises not to be spend the whole day working on it and not to be home late. I just think its cute. Then he proceeds to tell me all the things he's doing to it. Its funny he thinks that I would be upset or something that he wants to work on the car but I don't mind, he enjoys it. The way he lights up when he talks about the car and his new parts. He really does remind me of a kid with a new toy. Or the other thing he does that is really cute is he'll call me if he finds something thats wrong or broken and tell me all about it. Then ask me if he can get the parts to fix it. Of course he can fix it. It just always makes me smile. He'll tell me how much it will cost and how long it should take to fix it. He's such a cutie pie.
We were also able to go down to Muncie and see Lt. Mary and Erik last weekend (May 4th,5th, and 6th). We had so much fun we stayed at their apartment and went to the Children's Museum in Indy on Saturday (I know we don't have any kids and we are all adults - heck Ryan's 30 but it was fun, I liked the dinosaurs the best) and then the Zoo on Sunday. I'll post pictures in another post. Its sooo fun how my husband and Mary's boyfriend can get along so well. We couldn't have plan it better if we tried.

I don't know hat else - I feel so weird today. Ryan went back to work today and that threw me way off. Well I guess today will be a cleaning day, I haven't had one of those in about 2 weeks and boy do we have a ton of laundry. Maybe I'll find an excuse to go outside too, it's soooo nice :O)

What Else Can I Say??

If You Are Down.....

If you are ever down, feeling sorry for yourself just remember Helen Keller. She went from a wild child who could not see or hear to inspiring those who thought they need no inspiration. Helen Keller is truly an awesome woman and deserves props for all she has done. One of my all time favorite quotes is from her - "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt within the heart. "

This is what else she had to say......

"Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it."

"Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all - the apathy of human beings."

"One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar."

"We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world."

"Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything good in the world."

"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved."

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature.... Life is either a daring adventure or nothing."

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us."

"No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars or sailed an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit."

"There is no king who has not had a slave among his ancestors, and no slave who has not had a king among his."

"I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace."

"Never bend your head. Hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye."

"Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow."


Helen Keller (1880 - 1968)



Have An AWESOME Day All :O)

Some Prayers I found

Prayer for Peace, Love, and Happiness

Let me be loved, let me be happy, let me be peaceful.
Let my friends be happy, loved, and peaceful.
Let my perceived enemies be happy, loved, and peaceful.
Let all beings be happy, loved, and peaceful.
Let the whole world experience these things.

- Deepak Chopra


Prayer for Those Who Mourn

Bless those who mourn, eternal God,
with the comfort of your love
that they may face each new day with hope
and the certainty that nothing can destroy
the good that has been given. May their memories become joyful,
their days enriched with friendship,
and their lives encircled by your love.
Amen.

- Vienna Cobb Anderson


Spouses' Prayer

O Lord, omnipotent and eternal God, we give you thanks and we bless your holy name. You created man and woman in your image and blessed their union, so that each would be for the other a help and support. Remember us today. Protect us and grant that our love may be in the image of the devotion and love of Christ for his Church. Grant us a long and fruitful life together, in joy and in peace, so that, through your Son and in the Holy Spirit, our hearts may always rise to you in praise and goods works.

Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith,
Where there is despair, hope,
Where there is darkness, light,
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console,
not so much to be understood as to understand,
not so much to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
it is in dying that we awake to eternal life.

- St. Francis of Assisi

Enlighten the Darkness of My Heart Most High, glorious God, enlighten the darkness of my heart, and give me right faith, certain hope, and perfect charity, wisdom and understanding, Lord, that I may carry out your holy and true command. Amen. St. Francis of Assisi

Hail, Holy Queen

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To you do we cry poor banished children of Eve. To you do we send up our sighs, mourning, and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, O most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus. O clement! O loving! O sweet Virgin Mary! Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.


Save the afflicted

We beseech thee, Master, to be our helper and protector.
Save the afflicted among us; have mercy on the lowly;
raise up the fallen; appear to the needy; heal the ungodly;
restore the wanderers of thy people;
feed the hungry; ransom our prisoners;
raise up the sick; comfort the faint-hearted.

Clement of Rome (1st Century)



Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy.
Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy.
Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy.
Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy.
Amen.

St. Augustine



Teach Me to Pray

Lord, I know not what I ought to ask of Thee; Thou only knowest what I need; Thou lovest me better than I know how to love myself. O Father! Give to Thy child that which he himself knows not how to ask. I dare not ask either for crosses or consolations; I simply present myself before Thee, I open my heart to Thee. Behold my needs which I know not myself; see and do according to Thy tender mercy. Smite, or heal; depress me, or raise me up; I adore all Thy purposes without knowing them; I am silent; I offer myself in sacrifice; I yield myself to Thee; I would have no other desire than to accomplish Thy will. Teach me to pray. Pray Thyself in me.

Francois de Salignac de la Mothe-Fénelon


Grant Us Grace

O Lord our God, grant us grace to desire thee with our whole heart, that so desiring, we may seek and find thee; and so finding thee we may love thee; and loving thee we may hate those sins from which thou hast redeemed us; for the sake of Jesus Christ.

St. Anselm
