Moti Mofiki

I have come to terms with Lola's death and have decided to introduce:

MOTI MOFIKI

into the world. So, here he is. And I must say, he is a MUCH better picture taker than Lola was. He is a very calm male blue beta fish and he likes to swim around and loves to eat. Too bad for him he can only eat sparingly. I think me and Moti have finally bonded. Keep your fingers crossed that he stays around longer than Lola... If he can make it past saturday, he will have her beat.

Disastrous News.

Lola died.

I got the bad news Saturday morning in the middle of our pageant. Words cannot describe the sadness I feel. Lola was a very good friend and pal. And now, she's dead. I have gotten a new fish but we are having a hard time bonding and naming him... It's a beta. Eventually I will post a picture but right now my heart is mourning for Lola. Words of comfort and support would be appreciated. This is the end of my disastrous news.

Meet Lola

Lola is the newest member of our little family! I had been wanting a fish since we moved in, not real sure why but I really wanted one. So last Tuesday I went and got me one! I first had wanted a Beta, but the walmart I went to did not have Beta's, so I settled for Lola. She is a super pretty goldfish, with a white body and an orange head. She is supposedly a mellow fish. But the first few days I had her she swam like CRAZY and NON STOP. Plus, she also makes loud noises when she is up at the top of the fishbowl. She has calmed down now, I think it was just the whole shock of being in a new place. But she is super fun! Her fishbowl has also been upgraded with some more decoractions (ie rocks and plants) and I am considering giving her some window clings for halloween on her fish bowl! I love Lola and I know that Kristen secretly does too!

An Eventful Saturday

Not only was Saturday Mark and Melanie's Daddy Daughter Date, but it was also Jeffrey's First Date AND First Dance! So, much to his dismay I am sure, I decided to post this super cute picture of him getting ready to go pick up his date! The Crosage was way Cool, it has a detachable sparkly bracelet that she can wear once she take the daisies off, and he got her some chocolates! Points to him for dating! They had a very fun date! Jeffrey is just growing up right before our eyes! Now everybody say it with me so that we can embarass him more... Aww aw aw!

A Fiesta, A Fiesta!

I had to do a post just so that you could all appreciate their Sombreros.

Melanie and Mark went to the daddy daughter activity for Activity Days on Saturday and the theme was Fiesta! I think they are very much into the spirit and super duper cute! I bet they probably even won best costume... Haven't heard any other details on how the day went but I am sure they had a great time!

"Our house, in the middle of our Street"

Our Kitchen
Our Living room, keep in mind it's quite old school

Part 1 of our bedroom, kristens is the nicely made bed, mine is the one under all the pictures.

Part 2 of the room: The desk by the big window that over looks our living room.

Part 3- The TV, sliding door to the deck, and the walk in closet

The Closet (And before anyone mentions it, its SHORTS lying in the middle of the floor, not underwear, nor a bra)

Part 1 of the Bathroom

Part 2 of the Bathroom :)

And that's the grand tour of the places in our house that we visit :) It goes on longer, but I figured the girls wouldn't appreciate me taking pictures of their own rooms and bathrooms when some were throwing fits about just their faces. So this is what you get :) The complaints from the first post about being moved in have diminished slightly for the most part. We are interacting more with the girls, it's not TOTALLY akward to be around them, and the place is staying decently clean... So I think for the most part things are good right about this moment in time. Have a lovely day!

Swinging Time!

Along with our trip to the river, we went over to the park to swing. Oh how I used to love to swing at parks. I was thrilled that we had one so close by, sadly though, I haven't swung is who knows how many years, and so I could only swing for like 6 minutes before I felt sick and had to stop :( So instead I took some fun pictures of Kristen!

*One thing I never expected from provo was the potty mouths off of these little kids you see in the picture on the playground! You wouldn't believe the words coming out of their mouths!
Kissy Swingin....

Some of you I know are nature freaks, so here is a decent "naturey" picture of the woods in the back of our house

Still swinging ever so high.... She swung for a long time actually Lol
