monday’s…

 After a long weekend of soccer, I’m trying to get back in the groove for the week, but really all I want to do is hang with this one… 

I know the cleaning and the meal

planning and grocery shopping and yard work will get done but for now, I’m

going to start my Monday here.

In case you need me…

 …I’ll be snuggling my bunny. She’s how I handle looking ahead to this busy season that will take us to the end of the year…

Fluffy Homework Support

 Eden was finishing up her math and I came into this scene:

So so sweet…

therapy animals

 I love having these bunnies. They really bring me so much joy (and therapy…)

We just naturally gravitate towards spending time with these two every day…

I’m telling you, they are therapy. 

snuggly carpool buddy…

 I brought one of our bunnies to get Eden from school. It was a highlight of carpool for the week!

We love them…

 These two bunnies bring us so much joy…

Floofie snuggles...

 We really love having rabbits, but I think Eden and I love it most of all...

The floofiest snuggles there ever was...

in protest...

This girl is the sweetest snuggler, but will only take photos under protest...  

We call it resting bunny face...😏

We have had our bunnies since 2020 and we are still smitten with them...❤︎

Carpool buddy

 Recently I took one of our bunnies to get Ryder from school... She insisted on looking out the window.

I love having bunnies...

I won't quit my day job...

 I LOVE having our bunnies, but I will tell you, my LEAST favorite thing about having them as a pet is trimming their nails.  They hate it and I hate it. This is the face of a rabbit needing her nails done and she (and I) are not happy about it...

If I ever lose my wits and tell you I want to become any type of animal groomer, please stop me... 😂

Lunar new year...

 Eden and one of our bunnies is here to remind you that Lunar New Year, on January 22, marked this as the year of the rabbit...🐰😉🐰

We hope you have a wonderful weekend!

We are still those bunny people

I find photos on my phone that have taken and I can't help but smile at how much we love these bunnies of ours. 

We would 10/10 recommend bunny snuggles (followed by a lint roller...❤︎) 

Snuggles

I love having rabbits.  

These bunnies are the best snuggle buddies ever...

{up close and personal} bunny snuggles

 Our littlest bunny, Jelly Belly, has this funny thing that she likes so do when we hold her: she wants to be directly on your chest and she wants to back her fluffy toosh right into your neck, then she makes herself comfortable while whoever is holding her has to look around her furry little self.  The other day I tried to captured it on photo:

If you try to move her, she just backs right back to where she was...

I never knew that we would be pet people, but these two have us loving it!

We are just smitten with these little bunnies!

Most improved, tiny referees, home haircuts, fluffy outdoor time and quick turn arounds...

 The day we got home from Oxnard, we had a chance to celebrate our favorite swimmer as she was awarded most improved for her age group in swimming...  She is brave and courageous and we are so incredibly proud of her!

Over the weekend, Ryder took the classes and test to be a referee with AYSO:

He is SO excited!

Eden requested to have her hair cut before school.  Her hair is nice and straight and is pretty easy to cut, so it was fun to be able to give her the cut that she wanted:

I love this girl so much!  I can't believe that she is going to be a fifth grader!

We took the bunnies outside and for the first time, they enjoyed exploring:

We got back from Oxnard on Thursday, I worked on Saturday, we had a full day on Sunday, Monday was full of errands, and I am working today, and tomorrow we are heading out to Shaver Lake for time with our Biola family... Life is full but so good, and I want to remember all the little things that make is so outstanding!

Odds and ends with our oldest...

 Getting all the time that I can with this big kid of mine while his sister had adventures with her best buddies rollersking, playdates at other's houses, birthday parties, and time at Irvine regional park and OC Zoo.

We also interspersed time with our favorite therapy animal:

Also, Ryder had his first experience of cutting Kit's hair/shaving Kit's head while we waited for Eden to get home: 

We do all that we can to capitalize on one on one time when we get it... It was a sweet week!

Houseguest

 Last weekend, we had had our friend's pit bull mix named Ali stay with us so that their house could be used to host guests that are allergic to dogs.  We did lots of snuggling:

He helped Eden get ready:

We went for walks:

not pictured, we picked up poop:

I am the first to say that I am not a dog person, but this dog was the absolute sweetest dog ever and he would be welcome at our house anytime...  The only thing was that we had to move our bunnies to the garage and I could only hold them outside when the dog was not around. We made due...

Also, our hydrangeas are in full bloom, so naturally I had to photograph the bunnies, because I am that person now...

P.S. Jelly belly was not about it...
