guinea pigs!

grandma garrett visited last week for halle's ballet recital. while here i mentioned wanting to get the girls guinea pigs and she said we could go to the store and she would get them one!!! it was so exciting. me and tom had decided a long time ago that we would never have a pet, which was fine, we are not animal lovers.....but after having the turtle,i realized that the benefits of having a pet could out way the disadvantages. the advantages being that the girls can spend hours just sitting there petting something. the disadvantage being that i have to clean a cage. i had to think of the one, and only animal that i can stand (literallly, i am disgusted by almost every animal) but i had guinea pigs when i was little and i think they are cute. so far, i am happy with the guinea pigs. the girls spend hours playing with them, i have found the time to read the entire conference ensign, something that usually takes me a year....

i had to sit very close to kiera while she held them for the first week, now,i just need to be in the same room. she knows most of the rules now and is very sweet with them! halle picked one and kiki picked one, then they switched. halle's is named apples and kiki's is named guinea nibbles. but they mostly share them.

When Kiki brings home her fiance, you should compare smiles. She looks like she is in heaven. She gives me the update every Sunday and it is too cute to hear.
