The newest addition to my family

Hello my butterflies!

Today, my family and I added another member. We got a chinchilla! His name is Rascal and he is SOOOO CUTE!! It's a crazy story actually. My dad wanted to get a chinchilla so we called some pet stores. One store had a chinchilla (Rascal) for adoption! Once we heard that, we had to get him. So we did! We adopted a chinchilla! I'm so excited and I look forward to many years of caring for our newest little pet. If you want to see pictures of him, follow me on Twitter at twitter.com/AriaCortes. He's so cute that I can't resist taking pictures of him!

2012 Summer Olympics!

Hello my butterflies!

Yesterday started one of my favorite events... the Olympics! I'm so excited! I absolutely love the Olympics, both winter and summer. I love watching the amazing athletes represent for their countries and inspire us all. It's so cool!

The Opening Ceremony last night was really cool! I always love watching the countries come out. I think that's my favorite part of the Opening Ceremony.

Now we get to watch the events for two weeks. My favorite events are the gymnastics and swimming, but I look forward to watching as much of it as I possibly can! What are your favorite Olympic sports?

Raw's 1000th episode!

Hello my butterflies

Last night made WWE and television history. Last night was the 1000th episode of Monday Night Raw! From January 11, 1993 to July 23, 2012, they've had 1000 episodes. That's 19 years! I've been watching for 15 of those years and I can't wait to see the next 1000 episodes! It was a really good show! They also announced that from now on, Raw will be 3 hours! That's another hour of crazy story lines and great fights!

Live Butterfly Garden Update!

Hello my butterflies!

As I told you all earlier in June, me and my family own actual butterflies that we got from the Live Butterfly Garden. Well, yesterday was the day that we had to let them all go. You're only supposed to keep them for about two weeks, since their life span is only about a month. You have to let them go so that they can create more butterflies! It was sad but I was excited. The first 8 came out relatively fast, then another 2 came out. We were left with one, and this one refused to come out! I swear, we spent about 4 minutes trying to get it out without hurting it! It loved us! Eventually, it decided to be free with the rest of its brothers and sisters. We watched them fly around, then went home. It was a great experience owning, caring for and releasing the butterflies! I hope to get more soon!
