Spartacus and Marino



Welcome the two newest members of the Queen family. The kids ahve been wanting pets for the longest time. I've always said no for numerous reasons. But today, that all changed.

A friend of mine has Beta's and they're so pretty. She told me a bunch about them and I figured the kids would love some. So early Christmas present, we went to Petsmart and Sean and Asia both picked their Beta, Chinese Fighting Fish.

We found some pretty glass vases at Marshalls, and brought the fish home.

The entire way home, the kids went back and forth on what to name them. Jack, Nosean, Jackson, Flash, Superman, to name a few.




Anyway, Spartacus, the blue one, Sean's fish, and Marino, the red figher, Asia's fish are all settled and happy I think.




What's interesting is that while watching, I noticed that the fish "see" each other and want to fight. So Marino, will bump the glass trying to get to Spartacus. Spartacus is a bit more laid back while Marino is definitely a hot head.



The fish go at it for a bit through the glass and then take a break. I may have to move the vases to different locations if they're working themselves up to much.
Cheer Party

The season came to end for Asia. I think she had a good time. She got bored with the whole thing mostly because "You can't do anything and nobody wins" she said. But she did have a great time with her new friends on the squad.

Today, they all got together for the end of season party. "Glitterbugs", a salon in the area, came and did makeovers on the girls. Asia was so excited. She loves playing with makeup and all things girly when she's not wrestling and playing ball with the boys outside.

She got her hair done.



She had glittery makeup put on and her nails painted.



Played with her friends.



And recieved her trophy from her coach which she loves.







She had a good time. But is now looking forward to playing upward basketball.
