Who Needs Rubber Duckies?

Most people would say 11 pets are enough...but we Scrivers say pshah! Thats right, our farm is growing ever more. Just last week our little chloe gave birth to 11 bunnies. Unfortunately two didn't make it, but the 9 others are alive and kick'n. They're pretty cute, even the ugly ones you just can't help but love. We have this white one, it has a tiny head, huge tummy, long legs, big feet and ears twice the size of its head! It makes for quite the picture. We call her little haylie.

But thats not all...Pew Pew, our female duck successfully hatched 12 eggs yesterday! Watch yourself though, she's a real beast! Just this morning me (Crystal) and mom got chased by the overly protective mama and mom was forced to hose her. OH! and just for the record, dad is the biggest softy ever! Just last night dad dug a hole to put the water dish in, that way the babies could get in and swim and not have a problem getting out, and then there are multiple duck ramps. Dad's pretty cute when it comes to his own personal nursery. He's spent many hours bottle feeding the bunny runts...which we're not entirely sure are bunnies. One looks like a kitten and the other looks like a chipmonk.

So to say the least we've had a very busy week here at the Scriver farm, and we can't wait to show off the new arrivals to any nieces/grandkids that might wander our way...hint hint Brittney, hint hint

See? Tyler's not above begging...

alright you have me, Tyler's face did me in. I'll bring emma by to see the babies. FYI i think the baby bunnies are funny looking, but the ducks are a-dor-able!
