Happy Birthday, Abby

Abby turned 4 last Saturday (August 11). I had been gone the whole week (Aug. 5 - 11) and returned home around noon on her birthday. We had a fun day of gifts, food, and fun. Abby decided a few weeks ago that she wanted goldfish for her birthday. Hey, I'm fine with that...those things cost $0.26/each! We all went over to Wal-Mart, bought a fish bowl and food, and then went to PetSmart to buy the fish.

Abby got a gold goldfish (named her "Dorothy") and we let Leah pick out one, too (named it "Fishie"). She picked out a bigger, more colorful fish. We took them both home, filled the fishbowl, and put the fish inside. Two days later, Abby's goldfish was dead. Hmmm...

Abby and I went back to PetSmart last night and purchased a new fish. We brought it home and put it in the bowl with Leah's fish. Within hours, Abby's fish was dead. Not sure if Leah's fish is some bully or what, but Abby's fish aren't doing well while Leah's is fine! At that point, Jen decided we'd go get Abby a barbie today. If Leah's fish survives, great. Otherwise, there went that experiment.

Jess, I forgot Abby & Tyrel were born a day apart too! So should we have an arranged marriage? haha j/k Your girls are beautiful! Can't believe you guys have 3 already. I'll be sure to check your blog often. By the way, your wife is very beautiful too!

We had goldfish that ate each other. We also had some goldfish that ate our Beta.

Happy Birthday Abby. We are excited to see you next week.
