Easter Fun!

Easter Fun at the Meyer House!!!

These are the bunnies I made for my primary class. They are washcloths rolled and folded and then they hold a plastic easter egg full of treats.  I may be biased but I think they turned out pretty cute.  I have to give credit where credit is due though.....this was my mom's project that I just copied!

 So this has a funny story!  Sunday morning I was feeling kinda stupid cause we hadn't really made any plans for celebrating Easter.  I had got a small basket with a few treats and movies but not much.  Well I got this crazy idea to try and make a easter bunny while Dustin was still in bed.  So I started searching for anything and everything I could find.  This is what I came up with.  A corn muffin mix for the base.  Marshmellow cream to frost the ears. M&Ms for the eyes and nose. Chocolate chips for the whiskers, butterscotch chips for the mouth and a marshmellow cut up for the two bucked teeth.  It looks totally ridiculous I know!  When Dustin came out and saw it he asked "What is it suppose to be a moose?"  So this is my failed attempt at a bunny rabbit that has know been dubbed the "MOOSTER BUNNY" in our house.  We may just have to make one every year now! :-)

 I decided that you are never to old to color easter eggs.  I have a girl I work with that just moved here from Kenya.  She asked me at work what all the fuss was about eggs.  She had never heard of dying easter eggs.  So I invited her over to the house and we colored eggs.  Below is so of what we colored. 

 We used rubber bands to make the striped ones.  It's harded then it looks to make a thin rubber band stay on an oval shaped egg.

 This was our special belated celebration with the easter bunny!!!  When I got hom from work Friday Dustin told me to go look in my shoe that had been sitting on the front porch for a few days.  To say the least I was nervous that it was going to be a snake or a mouse, neither of which I am very fond of!!!  Much to my surprise it was something fluffy and cute!!  Dustin had caught him on the side of the house when he was mowing and saved him so I could see.  We have two big bunnies that frequent our backyard, but this little guy is probably only a few weeks old! 

 What a cutie on the right!!!!!!!  Yeah Yeah I know the bunny is cute too. ;-)



Spring Break

So I sent Dustin home......again........and I had to stay in Missouri by myself........again!  But oh well he had a blast and after a year of vet school I guess he deserves a break now and then. :-)  If I could attach all the pictures he took while he was home, they would be 95% cows 2% other animals 3% family. J/K!!!  But the boy definitely does love his cows so I'll include a few pictures!

Dustin and Missy!!!! 

Some of the babies! 

When you go to Cortez for the auction you MUST EAT CHINESE!!!! Especially when it's this good!!!!  This is one of our all time favorite places to eat! 

You never know what your going to see at the Cortez Auction Barn.......that's what makes it so fun!! 

Coolest calf ever. Mom is a what we call maroon balley. No idea where this little guy came from. 

Abby our yearling holstein heifer that we paid $20 for. :-)  Looking pretty tall and pot bellied. 

Aubrey and her favorite Uncle Dust!  The comment here........"No Uncle Dust you can't go out to the farm until I get my shoes on!!!! I'm going to hold you here until I'm ready." 

Two biggest milk drinkers in the family!!!  They could probably go through a couple gallons a week by themselves.....if we would let them. :-) 

How can you not love these two faces???? 

Aubrey LOVES Missy. Missy didn't know if she loved Aubrey riding here, but Aubrey sure thought it was a lot of fun! 

 This is Kelli's new hobby. Sorting through 5,000 pennies. I know it sounds crazy but I got over $23 of old Lincoln wheat pennies out of the deal including two 1909 pennies which are the first ever minted Linocln pennies!  I probably have over 200 pennies from 1909-1920. I know it's weird but I think its fun.  Oh by the way I just brought another bag of 5,000 pennies home to sort through! :-)

Out of order but just a few more pictures from Dustin's trip home.

Branding calves.....How many men does it take to brand one calf???? J/K! 

Dustin doing what he loves!  Just wish I would've been there cause I love it too! Someday we'll make it back!
