Welcome the newest member of our family!

No, I did not have the baby. We bought a fish for Brynn! A couple months ago we talked about getting Brynn some fish, but quickly dismissed the idea. I like to keep life simple and I figured we could wait for pets until Brynn was begging us for one. But she gets SO excited everytime she sees a fish anywhere (especially those big tanks at Walmart), that we finally gave in. So, here is Fishy! That's what Brynn calls it for now anyway, we haven't worked on a name yet. And feeding Fishy is Brynn's new favorite part of the day.



We actually started out with three Fishies. And by the way Corey, I totally don't want to hear it! My big brother worked at a New Mexico refugium saving an endangered species of fish, so I'm sure he is wondering how hard it can be to keep three pond fish alive. I......have no answer. :) But killing 2 fish in 2 days kinda made me wonder if it's too late to re-think this baby thing......?

We tried the whole fish thing, and they all just die, so we gave up on it. Good Luck!!

Okay, in case this fish dies too, you have GOT to try betta fish instead of goldfish. We killed 3 goldfish in less than 12 hours. But then we got a betta and he lasted over 6 months. We're getting a new one for Keara's birthday in a few weeks. They are so much less messy than goldfish and their food is way easier to deal with and cleaning their tank is easy and they are SO SO SO pretty!! They cost more but only about $4. It's worth it!

So, our first fish experience was very similar...bought three, only one survived past 2 days. Emma named it "Hub" because she was like 18 months and we asked what to name it and she said hub.
