Sadly we heard from the Willowbrook Wildlife Center that one of the three bunnies we saved had to be euthenized. They said that the damage from the dog was too bad to help the ppo bunny and didn't want it to suffer any longer. But we don't know about the other two bunnies. We assume they only put one down, but we don't know.
This weekend we are taking a 4 and 1/2 hour drive down to Alton Illinois to visit my parents:) We will only be there for the weekend but I'm glad I get to see my dad again, since they can not afford to take off work to come up and visit us. Allison just needs to spend time with her other grandparents as well. She is lucky to be able to have two sets of grandparents and two sets of great grandparents still alive.
Jason, cassidy and I have all decided to start exercisinf again. Jason and I exercised 4 days a week a few months ago and then stopped. And once you stop it's hard to start up again. Well, we're starting up again. So far Jason has been jogging/walking for the last 3 days one mile at a time. I went yesterday and I am going to go again today. We want to loose weight and eat healthier so we can be in good shape for the Cruise that we are hoping to take in March of next year!

Poor Peter Cottontail:(
Ok First off, this is the third post I have posted tonight. I wanted to get everything on while I had time to. So the two other posts are pictures from the wedding cake I made and from my cake class.
This is Peter, or as Cassidy calls him Petey. A few days ago Sammy (our dog) found a cottontail bunny nest and decided to bring a few bunnies into the house. He killed four of the seven bunnies. Not intentionally we think, when you disturb baby bunnies they go into shock easily and die. Well we thought Petey was dead. My father in law went out to gather the poor bunnies and Petey screamed and if you have never heard a newborn bunny scream they are loud and high pitched squeelers. Scared the poo out of us! But we took the poor little guy in and got him into a box on top of a heating pad.
The next morning Sammy brought another baby bunny to the back door. This one was also alive. So we put him with his brother and then Cassidy and I took them to the Willowbrooke Wildlife Center. We're hoping they made it. Well, little did we know that at three in the morning (after we brought Petey and his brother in) Sammy had managed to bring in another bunny. Sammy had been by our bedroom door all day and I finally asked Sammy what he was doing. Mind you this was after we brought the other bunnies to the center. Well, we moved the shelf and low and behold there was another baby bunny!!!! This one had it's eyes open but was the same size. So we figure Sammy brought this one upstairs and dropped it at 3am and the baby bunny ran and hid under and behind our shelf. So we got him and put him in another box and brought him to the Wildlife Center after lunch. I really wished we could have kept them but it's against the law and I didn't know how to take care of newborn bunnies. We couldn't put them back outside since the nest was destroyed and some of them had been hurt. That was our Tuesday and Wednesday adventures. We're just hoping another bunny doesn't have their babies in the yard and Sammy does not bring them into the house!

Cake from my last cake class
Ok here's another cake that I just made from my final cake class. I had fun making all the flowers for this cake. The flowers on this cake is edible. All of it, well except for the stamins. It took me three hours to make all those flowers, but it only took my two hours to completely decorate this small little cake! I had soo much fun with these classes and I believe I have found my calling. So anyone who would like a cake made (you pay for cost of ingredients and how long it would take me to make the cake hourly-which I haven't decided on how much an hour I should charge) call me. I make all kinds of cakes, not just wedding cakes:)
As Promised!
Well it took long enough but I am now posting the wedding cake pictures from the cake I made from Heather Haskins (now Caufield-wrong spelling) wedding. I enjoyed making this cake and I'm more then willing to make any type of cake for anyone. Whether it be a birthday cake, annivarsary cake, or an event cake. If any of you have a facebook I have tons and tons of cake pictures from the different cakes I've made. Check them out on my facebook!
And this is what the cake looked like from the inside! It was a deliciuos fluffy yellow cake (i made it from scratch no box) with a raspberry filling (also from scratch) and a buttercream icing (from scratch) with fondant covering the outside of the cake. The flowers were made my Addraine McCowan (she did all the flowers for Heathers wedding)
