Bijou Market

So, I've been severely lacking on my blogging.  But back in November I was a vendor at the lovely Bijou Market.  I sold more than I was expecting and traded as much as we wanted!  Trading is pretty much more fun! 

Also, if you are in Provo, you should try this place.  It was amazing.  It was extremely unhealthy and absolutely delicious.  

Ugly Sweater Christmas Party!

Sometimes, I write funny things, but it's been a while.

But mostly, it's my sister Hannah who is funny.  We were laughing so much we couldn't breath.  (As much as semi and full asian women can while wheezing quietly. That's how we laugh hard.)  You will want to read and watch all of this.  Hannah and her co-workers purchased Siamese Fish, which also included the contest of which department will live the longest.  (They even wrote up rules about sabotage others fish.  No foul play was allowed.)  Her department's fish died.  

LOGAN, UT - It is with great sorrow, that we announce the death of the Textbook fish Perseus, who entered his watery grave somewhere between the hours of 5pm Monday and 8am Tuesday morning. It was not our wish that he go alone, but it was on his terms and we find comfort in that. Perseus was a fun loving fish, who had a special relationship with his plant, Plant. He loved to swim and frolic among the leaves that Plant so willingly offered.

Some months ago, Perseus developed a condition called swim bladder, which essentially means that he could not poop and was constantly constipated. This resulted in bloatedness which caused him to float unwillingly to the top of his tank. Try as he might, he could not propel his enlarged body to the bottom of the tank to visit Plant.

Perseus endured, however, once we found that he thrived on a diet of thawed frozen, mashed peas. The peas expedited the digestion and allowed him to swim gleefully among Plant’s leaves once more. It was never enough, though, the peas sustained him only temporarily. Still, he survived…perhaps to teach us some lesson or pass on some valuable knowledge. Either way, he was well loved and shall be missed.

Perseus is survived by his Campus Store fish family, Juan Pablo of Operations, Pita of General Merchandise, Larry of the Regionals, and Pepper of Marketing and Admin. He is preceded in death by Plant.

Services for Perseus will be held Wednesday morning at 8:25 in the Financial Aid Women’s Restroom. In leiu of flowers, the textbook family asks that delicious treats be donated in Perseus’ name. Please enjoy this video tribute to Persues, the Textbooky Fish.

 A Later Memo that she sent out for work. 

Textbooks had a moving service for Perseus this morning. And since most of you were unable to make it, here is a photo…and for your viewing pleasure, a video is attached, as well.

Thankfulness

He's really quite happy being at a shooting range and all.  

Cousin Nixon and Aiko cheering their dads on.

Later, we took a drive up the canyon.

We played with cousins all day long. 

Thankful for all our fun!

It was good.

Spent our Thanksgiving in Cedar City.  We played some bingo, stole some gifts, ate lots of good food, lit off some Chinese lanterns, and sat by the Christmas tree.  

It was good. 

#thriftedthursday

we almost bought it.  we should have bought it.  but it was ten dollars less than a new one.  i would have tried to bargain but it had just been put on the floor...it usually has to be there a couple of days.   but now i wish i would have at least tried.  

Buddies

Aiko, Aiko.  This kid is the only reason my family shows up anymore.  It used to be for the Kona, but now, it's that baby. 

Aiko has even been making friends.  Little Jade is quite a bit younger, but just Aiko's size.  Don't worry, Aiko's wearing 6 month clothing quite well now. 

Sunday fun.

What do you guys do for Sunday Afternoons?

Guns have been a large topic of our lives for a while. 

Jan and YouTube were teaching Hannah and the Husband how to take a part and clean guns.  

Riveting. 

Aiko gave us a little number.

Oh, the family fun.
