Last weekend Aspen had a major allergic reaction to something. The poor thing was miserable. Turned out she had a double ear infection in her left ear that exacerbated the allergic reaction. We spent the day Monday at the doctor and then spending $100 on new detergent, soap, lotion, cream, and antibiotics. Whoa! Hopefully we can figure out what it was before she looks like this again:
The day after my exciting ski excursion, I tripped in the garage on Shaylee's scooter. I've always been a lovely bruiser--ouch! (For reference, this picture is just below my knee, and was taken almost two weeks after the accident).
We decided to take a trip to the pet store rather than paying to freeze our toes off at the zoo. We came home with a cute new fish, El Negro, but he didn't last the month. Poor guy!
Shaylee had a birthday! This was one of the highlights of the month (oh, except that she's now 15 and eligible to get a driving permit--yikes!). I think she had a fun week. The Sunday before her birthday we had a fun dinner with Grandma Pearson. On her birthday the family had some yummy fondue. Then the Sunday after her birthday Dennis' family came over for our monthly FHE and we celebrated again. She got clothes, duh, some yummy candy, and a new digital camera from mom and dad. She's almost finished with her Young Womanhood Recognition award so she can get that driving permit--one skirt left to finish (we're so close!!!).
For President's Day, I took the kids up to Mrs. Cavanaugh's Chocolate Factory in North Salt Lake. They give factory tours, but neglected to tell us that no one was working that day, so we got to watch some fun videos about how the chocolate is made, sample some yummy chocolate, and enjoy some quality time together.
Devin has been playing basketball and really enjoying it, but I think he's ready for soccer to start again.
Shaylee whacked off her hair, and it looks darling, of course.
Connor just likes the bleachers.
Our neighbor made Aspen some new hair bows--aren't they darling?

Such Cute pics. That's one busy month.
Aspen's allergic reaction looks so sad.
We tried those black fish before and they died on us too. I don't think they are a very hardy small fish bowl pet. Don't get the 10 cent goldfish either. Thay are feeder fish, which means they are meant to be eaten by something as soon as you take them home. Bettas work great though.
We actually had some 25-cent goldfish live for a whole year (I figured if they died I wasn't out much). I'm not a huge beta fan, but maybe we'll try it next. We did like the black goldfish while it lasted (maybe it was the eyes that bugged out of its face).
