Where Are The Bunnies!?

Today, I came home from being gone all day at work, greeted my dogs and went to check on the bunnies. I went into the room we were keeping them in lifted the blanket on the top of the kennel and peered into their small box where I had left them this morning. I expected to see them all curled up and looking up at me, instead I saw an empty box inside of a large locked dog kennel. I stood there and just stared at the box for a moment or two as my brain thought back to this morning when I put them back into their box after feeding them. I definitely put them back in the box this morning so the only explanation was that they had escaped their box and the kennel and where somewhere in the room. I began to scan the room....didn't see them. Now, thankfully I had the sense to close the door to that room today or their would be no more bunnies.  I knew they had to be in there somewhere. At the corner of my eye I saw a small movement, there they were all three of them huddled up as happy as can be by the heater vent that was blowing warm air right onto their little bodies. When they saw me they started to come hoping over and all wanted on my lap at once. I am just SO glad I had that rooms door closed today!!

The White Rabbit 1-30-14

Behind you Alice, look behind you!!

I LOVE this picture!!

I am a big fan of Alice in Wonderland the book and the movies.
I got to bunny-sit our friend's bunnies tonight and had a fantastic time!
There were three of them hopping around but this one really seemed to like hanging around this book, which made for some perfect shots! Loved my time tonight with the little sweethearts!

PLEASE MOM!!?? 1-28-14

It was too cold by the time we go home from work to take the dogs for a walk around the neighborhood so we took them to the farm supply store, Orshlen's. We walked around the whole store and then wound up in the the pet aisle. Both the dogs loved "shopping" around. They were such good girls that yes, they did get a treat.

Mouse Guts 1-27-14

So I am not necessarily proud of this picture, but somedays the only thing life gives you is mouse guts.
This was actually Blue's cat toy, that I caught Gracie viciously mangling...

She's 5! 1-26-14

This beautiful girl was born 5 years ago the night before a big storm here in the Twin Lakes area. Today though was a gorgeous day of sunshine and smiles! She had a frog and turtle birthday party complete with a really cute turtle cake made by her mommy.

Yahtzee! 1-25-14

I love Saturdays with my best friend! After we got some things done today, we played games in the evening. I got him this Dr. Who Yahtzee for Christmas this past year and he loves it!

Snuggles 1-24-14

The dogs aren't allowed on the bed. Sometimes though it's just better to break the rules. I had a root canal done yesterday and it didn't start hurting until just before I went to bed last night and it has hurt since. I spent most of my day under the covers and some good pain killers. This furry snuggler was more than willing to break the rules to help her mommy.

P.S. she was snoring when I took this picture.

DoTerra 1-23-14

Tonight my sister gave a class about using DoTerra essential oils to aid in taking care of our own health. She did great! We had a good turn out and enjoyed ourselves!

Laundry Night 1-22-14

Wednesday nights at our home are veggie pizza and laundry night.  Blue likes to help out by keeping the laundry basket in line. He loves to play in it whenever it's empty. This is his super frisky kitty mode, notice his eyes...they are all pupil....that means danger. I took my life into my own hands by being in the center of his attentions with this look in his eyes....all for the cause.

My Furry Heart 1-21-14

This is my furry heart. She is a heaping spoon full of sugar. This is my Gracie Love Johnson. Watch out she might just love you to death, very dangerous. She reminded me of why I adore her so much today. I have had some very very painful toothaches for the past couple days, so severe there were tears involved today. Well gracie feels it is her job to comfort mommy until she stops crying. She won't leave my side while I am crying and practicly makes me pet her so she can make it all better. Tonight she even got her face up to my face and was sniffin the tears and trying to lick them away. Once I stop crying she will lay down close to me, but not until she has made it better. She is seriously the sweetest heart I have ever known.

Drawing 1-19-14

We went over to my sister's home today to watch the playoff game which the Broncos won, YAAAAAAAYYYY! I looked back to the area where the children where doing their thing and saw my oldest niece Natalie in this pose of concentration.  She was drawing, and she is quite good! That doesn't surprise me though, she does so well at many things!

Look What We Made! 1-18-14

Today was a full day! My favorite thing today was making this little bin with my mom. We had a great time getting our creativity on today! After this picture was taken mom said that I even look like a sewer because I had little strings on me!

Just A Day At The Office 1-17-14

My cork board right next to my desk. Let's see we've got a dove wrapper from my mom, a sweet note from my oldest niece Natalie, a quote I found out the other day written on a note from a sticky pad my best friend got me,  the new THAT Print Shop card that I made, and a tiny piece of paper from May 1901.

Sophie & Patrick 1-16-13

Meet Sophie Salt and Patrick Pepper. These have been our seasoning shakers since we got married. They were bought back before we got married though. I saw them and just knew. We named them on the spot. It is not "pass the salt" in our home, it is "pass Sophie and Patrick". They had an accident a month ago, thanks to the great white beast in our house. I was very sad, but my sweet husband played doctor and patched them up again.

My Red High Heels 1-15-14

These are by far my favorite thing in my wardrobe.  They are perfection.  They are also magic. When I put them on I turn into a bright and cheery socialite who can take on just about anything. I don't wear them too often, because I might wear out the magic, but just when I need that extra super charge of life that no other shoe could ever give me.

Waterfalls & Sunshine 1-12-14

After a cold and gloomy past couple days, I was so excited to go on an outdoor adventure with my hubby, our fantastic friend and our pups! We enjoyed the warm(er) day by venturing around the Ponca, AR area. We hiked down to Glory Hole waterfall. It was so pretty down there! This picture is of the main attraction but the valley was full of smaller falls and cascades. We all had such a great time!

Mom Goes Shopping 1-11-14

It was an eventful Saturday! Health fair then a wonderful lunch at Dusit Thai thanks to my beautiful sister, Corinthia. After lunch we got to take our mom shopping. Our mom has always thought of others above herself, but sometimes we just have to intervene and help her remember she needs new things too. We hit up Jeans Good as New, Tj Maxx and Wal-Mart. We had a grand time and got mom a much needed update to her wardrobe! Which while we were in line to checkout she says should last her "another 20 years." Oh mother....I love you.

Icy Morning 1-9-14

It was quite icy out this morning. Since we went to work late I went outside to see how our street was. The street just looked wet but it was a nice blanket of black ice making it very slick. We all made it to work though but I am looking forward to some sunshine this weekend!!

Nightly Treats 1-8-14

Zipper and Gracie both get a treat when they have come in from outside for the last time right before bed. They must sit and wait till I say "ok" before they take it. Such good girls!!

Birdy Feet 1-6-14

The birds were definitely out today all fluffed up and looking for food. It was a VERY cold day in the Ozarks today. Ice on the roads, a small amount of snow on the ground and a chill that could cut through your thickest coat.

Soft Kitty, WARM Kitty 1-5-14

Soft kitty, WARM kitty.....
The fire was roaring all day inside, in the fireplace and on my poor sick husbands forehead. Outside however the temps were very cold indeed. My biggest accompliments today were getting this fire going, keeping it going, and making my sweet man atleast semi comfortable.

Birthday Pup 1-4-14

Happy 7th birthday Zipper!! We took Zipper to All Pet, the local pet store in Mountain Home, AR, to get a birthday treat. I picked two things, held them down for her, she smelled both of them (through the plastic) and then licked this one once. So we brought it home (plus a small party favor for her sister grace) and this is her happily chomping on her birthday present.

Relax, It's Friday 1-3-14

Yay Friday! We set up the inflatable bed in the living room with plenty of blankets and pillows, ordered pizza and snuggled down to watch the Doctor Who Christmas special tonight! Thought we would give the Christmas tree one last hoorah before we take it down tomorrow.

Doggie Puzzles 1-2-14

Our pups got doggie puzzles for Christmas. They love the challenge! Zipper must either have her puzzle filled up to play with or her Kong filled with peanut butter, after dinner every night. No worries if you forget though, she'll remind you!!

Hiking Buddy 1/1/14

Went on a hike with my dad +Michael Yarborough  and dogs today. He really is one of my best hiking buddies. I thought it was appropiate to start my new 365 pic adventure with a photo of someone else taking a picture!

Let's Try This Again....

Some years ago I tried to do a daily picture. Then my hard drive crashed, and I lost the first two months worth of pictures. 
VERY SAD DAY.
So after that I lost all motivation for it. 
Now, with my awesome Galaxy s4 ZOOM I got for Christmas from my loving husband, I am itching to try this again! I hope you will find the pictures interesting and keep checking back for the daily picture!
