Bubbles

I've had in my mind now, several events that I wanted to blog about and share with you all.  First, it was going to be about having my sister-in-law, Shiara, come visit us with her little guy Owen.  Owen and Benjamin are the same age and had a great time playing together and fighting too (Ben's fault, not Owen's).


Aren't they cute?

Then I thought about posting pictures of Clara's little gingerbread house making party (actually they were made out of graham crackers and Annica called them Christmas port-a-potties).  Clara and her friends had a great time though.  They were all so cute.  Clara is lucky to have a really good group of friends here.



mmm...yum.  they ate more than they built.


When Scott and I got invited to the Lakers @ Jazz game yesterday, I knew I wanted to blog about that.  We sat ON THE COURT!  It was so awesome!  I could've reached out my hand and touched the players if I'd wanted to.  And best of all, the Jazz beat the Lakers...it was awesome.  Charlie and Laura (Scott's sister) were with us.  During the second quarter of the game, the ball when out of bounds and right into Charlie's hands.  It was the Laker's ball and they were all just looking at him like, are you gonna throw the ball back or just sit there in shock?!








A little too close


Yes, I wanted to write about all those things above, but then today, Bubbles died.  So this is really about Bubbles...


Bubbles was our Beta fish who out-lived most betas by three times the average life span.  It survived a near-death experience in the disposal (sorry about that buddy), and a four day trip in the car across the United States (it moved from Michigan with us).  There were lots of tears today (even by me, I admit).  We'll miss you Bubbles!  Have fun and be happy in fish heaven.
