Buster the lionhead bunny!

Iowa, we are known for corn We have some of the best sweet corn in the country!

Yes, Des Moines is French but we say it Duh Moin (not pronouncing the s). We do have lots of rolling fields and farms. We are very flat, no mountains at all.

I like Iowa to raise a family. We don't have very many tourist attractions, but when you compare Iowa to the rest of the country we have excellent schools, low crime, low traffic, nice people, small town feel in a progressive way as we aren't as "redneck" as people sometimes think Iowa is. I'm happy here

And yes corn and funnel cake at the Iowa State Fair. And if you want a good steak, Iowa cows are the best for that! I've tasted steak all over the USA and we have the best here.

I want to come to Iowa. I would live in the mid-west but the winters are too cold. I would die. I would just be a popcicle out there trying to feed my chickens. I would be frozen with my hand in a bucket, LOL. I do love corn though! I bet the corn is really good.

Katie, I had to look up the Justin chukka's. They look super comfortable! I'm just a classic cowboy boot wearer though.

lol I'm stuck in lalaland! The first thing I think of when I think of Iowa is the band Slipknot... Luke and I are huge fans. But besides the point, it's always cool to see where people live and the views they have because in my opinion no matter where you are (assuming its a suburb) it looks almost the same. We should start a "where you live" photo thread

Yay today is my birthday, we are headed to San Antonio! I'm excited to ride all the roller coasters! I hope it's not terribly busy and crowded.

That's interesting how y'all pronounce Des Moines, when we learned it in school they didnt teach us HOW to say it just what and where it is. I think we are all rednecks here in Texas lol. Especially my family from East Tx haha, they talk real slow and love to hug everyone lol!!!

I remember hearin that Iowa has the best steak! I remember now!!!

I too love the west, well I love snow. But I would turn into a Popsicle too. Teehee. They are extremely comfortable. I wear them everyday! I like classic boots as well but mine are getting old so I wear them less to preserve them until I buy a new pair of brown boots

 

[Katielovesleo3]

Good idea Michelle! Lets do it!

There was this kid in 6th grade and he wore a slipknot shirt at least once a week and the people on them used to scare me and I had a nightmare one night I'm such a weenie!

Haha yes slipknot! We know Jim from slipknot and have partied with him a few times back in the day. He's good friends with our good friend. Iowa is like that, everyone knows everyone somehow.

OMG... thats so cool.... envious :bunnysuit:

Yeah, he's from Slipknot, but that's bragging rights

 

[holtzchick]

BTW, How was your birthday? did you have a good time?

 

[Katielovesleo3]

I am back! Thank y'all for the birthday wishes. Well on Satursay we got up bright and early and went to fiesta Texas. My dads wife, Nettie, has lesions on her brain but she got those last year about November she is doing a lot better now. The doctors don't know what they are but she's supposed to be living stress free, so I was so surprised when she rode three roller coasters with us. And she brought three kids with her her two twin (two dang sticks in the mud, geeky as all get out...i mean they will spend every waking hour on the computer) boys 14, and my new sister Evelyn 15 years old. Once Nettie sat out the most weeniest boy sat out. A couple rides later Evelyn started feeling sick to her stomach and sat out too. After a while she started to feel up for one more ride so I convinced her to ride two more and then Poppy David and I rode the rest of the rides together. It was a blast! I can't wait to go back!!!! And we all shared funnel cakes. Poppy and I had funnel cake topped with powdered sugar and chocolate drizzled on it. It was SOOOOO goooood! Then we went back to the hotel about 630 and everyone felt bad except Poppy and I. I don't think that they were made for such high thrill lol! Poppy and I live for thrill haha. So everyone took naps and I was starving again and Poppy and I went walking around the river walk to find something to eat that didnt have a 20+ minute wait! When I got back to my hotel room they were all passed out, it was dark as hell and it was only 9pm by that time. Evelyn, poor thing, woke up and was scared because the room was spinning and her tummy felt bad so I called poppy and told him she needed medicine so he got her pepto bismol, and then decided he needed to get some Dramamine so then we went on a search for a pharmacy. What was supposed to be a quick half mile walk, turned out to take an hour and a half! It was quite an adventure. I was shocked that my right hip hasn't started hurting (usually it does, and im only 22, never had an accident, and I don't think that I walk wrong lol). So we finally get back to the room and she takes her medicine and falls back asleep. Then I'm all pumped up from having a great day and a rigorous walk that I can't sleep so I start drawing on my iPad. At 3am Evelyn wakes up and runs to the bathroom and pukes her guts out. but when she walked out she said, "I feel SO much better!" So I finished up my drawing and went to sleep. It was a good trip. Buster was not fed properly i come to find out, I left Leo a very easy to follow list with only four instructions. He read (yeah right, ok he skimmed over it), and all he got out of it was that Buster eats vegetables, the pellets, and hay. Well I specifically wrote what vegetables he got but NOOOOO he can't follow a simple list. i had some baby carrots in the fridge and I guess that all Leo saw so he gave him the WHOLE ENTIRE bag!!!!! >:0 he did feed him some hay, not as much as I prefer, and his pellets but holy crap! I beat him up and watched Buster very closely that night and the next day and his poops were just fine Thank Heavens!!!! But I beat Leo with the remote, with a pillow, and my hand and feet of course! I was so outraged. Simple task!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!!

Then last night I had a small get together with my moms side of the family (they're the proper side). They wanted to throw me a birthday party but I said "Naw y'all can come on over to my house and I will cook burgers and boudin" so I cleaned my house real good and we had a nice time and they all wanted to see Buster and Rosco's "tricks" lol. Then they called them a circus rabbit and circus dog. They said "well I didn't know rabbits had any sense enough to learn stuff like that". People can be so uneducated. But it was nice to have everyone over. I didnt have to go anywhere at least. Now today Leo's family from Oklahoma are coming to visit. There will be some I never met before. I hope they speak English. Leo says he doesn't know if they do or not. *sigh*

And I have allergies like crazy. I hate oak trees. And our neighbors who won't cut their dumb oaks down! '''

 

[Chrisdoc]

Sounds like you had a whale of a time, what a shame for Evelyn but sometimes when you have mega bad indigestion, throwing up is the best thing for it. You had quite a few adventures.

Poor Buster, well I say poor Buster but I bet he loved all those carrots, probably thought it was his birthday again lol. What are men like, only read half of what you write...glad to see he´s Ok and it didn´t effect him too much.

Imagine them calling him a circus rabbit and poor Rosco, circus dog. Well, people don´t realise how smart bunnies are so it wouldn´t probably take much to impress them. and Buster is a real smart bunny and so cute as well.

I´m a bit puzzled as to why they wouldn´t speak English if they´re from Oklahoma...am I missing something :confused2: Hope you have a great time with them...you have had a busy few weeks.

 

[Katielovesleo3]

Right?! Haha Buster didnt complain about being fed carrots haha. Leo has selective hearing and selective sight as well.

They're originally from Mexico. Sorry guess I should have included that. Lol!

 

[agnesthelion]

Wow Kai tie quite the trip and weekend, glad you had a good time.

Speaking of your hip....do you have mild scoliosis? I have a slight curvature of my spine and my hip has hurt my whole life, especially if I walk a lot. A doctor finally told me it's the unequal pressure on my hips from the curve of my spine that makes my hip hurt.....it's harmless, just a nuisance. Just a thought for what yours could be!

 

[Katielovesleo3]

Nope, no English. Their kids speak English so I have been playing with them hahahahaha! We played hide and seek and now this little girl, probably 4yrs old, is stuck up my butt but it's okay she's such a little sweetheart! I really wish I could speak Spanish. Fooey!

Lisa! Hmmm! I have never been to the doctor for it but they checked us for scoliosis in school. But I do have strange quirks like, I prefer to sleep a certain way cock my head to the left and I can turn my head further to my right. I have no idea if that is any way related but I will have to ask next time I go to my doctor. And it ALWAYS happens after I been walking for more than a mile or so. But it only started last year. Strange......

 

[Chrisdoc]

Katie, pity I wasn´t there, I could have helped you out lol. I should have remembered his family were spanish speaking. My age and my terrible memory haha.

 

[whitelop]

Katie, I'm so glad you had fun at the amusement park! It sounded like a blast! You seem like such a high energy human being, I doubt I could keep up with you! And I'm only a year older than you. I also have joint issues! haha. I have tendentious in my ankle from falling off a horse and landing on my ankle and hurting the things inside there. I had to have a cast when I was 12 to help "relax" my tendons in there, too bad I cut that sucker off so I could still ride horses. haha.
My knee cap goes off to one side and grinds against another bone and it hurts, but only if I stand, sit, walk for too long. I kind of just grin and bear it with that one. haha.

Anyway. You sound like me with the "come to my house for some food!" My house might not be much, but we have an awesome charcoal grill that we LOVE to use! I also have a nice yard that we LOVE to sit in and I like to keep everything casual. You know, paper plates and solo cups and keeping the beer IN the bottles(if there ARE bottles) haha. Thats how we like to get down too! I met this girl yesterday at TSC who reminded me of me and a little of you, haha. (the redneck on the inside of both of us that comes out occasionally, you know its in there. I can admit it too, its okay. We have a support group) Anyway, I asked her if they had any sand(for my chickens) and she said no. Then asked me what I needed it for, I told her. She said "oh, my dad got a truck load of it, to make...*short pause* a beach around our pond, redneck, I know!" I thought about MY pond and I was like "OMG! Thats the best idea I've ever heard! I have a pond and I want to do that!" She laughed and looked a little relieved that I didn't think she was a freak! Now to talk my husband into a literal ton of sand to make the beach around the pond. lmao.

Poor Buster, got just carrots! haha. I know he got more than that, but I bet he was THRILLED to have Leo watching him! Ellie would be so happy with my husband if he only gave her craisins because she doesn't eat carrots. At least his poop is okay! But you always have to expect with men, that they don't read anything. They think they know what to do! haha. They never know what to do.

 

[Chrisdoc]

And I thought it was just me...you get to a certain age when everything starts going...luckily for you Katie and Morgan, you ´ve got a long way to go lol.

Love the idea of a beach round your pond...why not, they put a beach along the Seine in Paris and it was a real hit. And if you´ve got good weather, even better.

I´m still laughing at Buster eating all those carrots....and Leo no reading every instruction you wrote....they always know better haha.

 

[holtzchick]

Glad to hear your bday went well. Funnel cake is delicious isn't it?!

I love coasters and could ride them all day long

Lucky Buster eh?! If Luke were to take care of the bunnies in that sense I probably would've given him a mouthful... Actually come to think of it, he gives me a mouthful every morning when he stands in the kitchen and yells upstairs... "HONEY" (me:" WHAT?!") "The bunnies want pellets!!!! They're going nuts over here!!"

hahah... he always feeds them, and then they outsmart him... it's really sad, one of them always ends up going upstairs even though there should be a gate there to block them!!

That would be awesome to have a beach around a pond... my parents wanted to do that years ago when they were still together... I think it'd be a lot of maintenance though. Just my two cents..

 

[Katielovesleo3]

Lol, then they started video chatting with mama Carmela (Leo's grandma from Mexico) and his other relatives and they made me sit in there like a dumba$$ just smiling the whole time, trying to keep nice posture and also trying to act cool. I tried to escape but mama Carmela said, in Spanish, for me to just stay, because it's nice just to see me lol. I thought tht was sweet yes I needed you there Chris! I needed a translator! But I did tell her Feliz Cumpleaños since her birthday was the day before



So I find out that sadly, my mother in laws, sons rabbit that we talked about earlier, has escaped one day and ran free around a huge neighborhood. Poor thing. I'm sure it's dead now. :'(

I love riding horses. If I had the land, and the money, I would be "the crazy horse lady".

I Agree with keeping it simple! Solo cups, paper plates, plastic utensils, keeping the soda, beer etc in its original can/bottle lol!!!!

Yes I'm very open about my redneckedism lol...of course. Holy crap that's a genius redneck right there! A beach around your pond! Bingo-name-o! That sounds awesome. You just HAVE to convince your husband you need a beach around y'all's pond!
