What would you tell Alex Trebek?

The last couple of weeks my husband has let me watch wheel of fortune and Jeopardy. It never ceases to amaze home and Jordan how many answers I get right. They always shake their heads in amazement when that happens. A couple of weeks ago we caught the final Jeopardy answer and I answered Jackson Pollock on a whim. Don't you know I for it right.
I keep telling Casey that if I got on the show I would probably embarrass myself. Then I thought, there isn't anything interesting about me. What would my fact be? I finally came up with one. Here is how the conversation would go.
Alex,"It says here that you play hide and seek every day. Tell me about it."
To which I would reply, "I work at home in my office downstairs. When I go upstairs throughout the day my dogs like to follow me. If I notice Charlie slowly following me, I will hurry up and hide from him. Never fails I give up before he finds me. my other dog, Boo, knows where I am every time but he never gives me away."
There is my interesting fact. What would be yours?

Now I have typed this out, maybe I can fall asleep. Good night everyone.

Today's laugh

Have you ever been lazing around at home in an outfit that you would not be caught dead in outside of the house? Then someone you kind of know shows up. That happened to me today. To make matters worse they didn't even knock on the door, they just walked in. It's a good thing I can laugh at it.

Funny things kids say

I know it has been a few months. We have been busy with Zach and Braxton playing Soccer. Now get to add Jr Jazz to Braxton's schedule
This weekend we have had quite a few funny comments from the kids. Yesterday, one of Braxton's soccer buddies, Jaron, spend the afternoon with us. They were talking about this gray haired old person at the Hockey game the night before. I guess that means I am old. I would probably be 80% or more gray if I did not dye my hair.
Then this morning we were at Casey's parents to visit. And we were talking about a couple that were dating one was 19 and the other person was late twenties. Zach said, "That is gross." I replied, "You can't help who you fall in love with. There is 7 years between your dad and me." To which Braxton said, "You are older than dad?"
I do love the laughter that the kids bring to Casey and my life.

Springtime/Summertime

A couple of weeks ago, I finally got the hummingbird feeders out. I caught this bird feed from one of them.



This year we decided to try growing flowers out front. We pulled out the 2 bushes that were blocking the front windows. I am happy to say that the wildflower seeds that we planted were a success. Hopefully, the pumpkin plants work out as well as the flowers did.

Mother's Day

This year for Mother's Day Casey and I had my siblings and mom come over for lunch. It was a nice day to enjoy each others company on the deck. We did miss Nate and Krystal and their families. Right before we started the main dish, we had a plumbing issue. I am so glad I have a husband that is handy with house repairs. Once that was fixed, we got busy making dutch oven sloppy joes. We had perfect timing because everyone showed up just as it was getting done cooking. After eating, Braxton and Eric's girls were racing from the deck to the back of the yard and back. It was fun watching them.

CF walk

In May, we had the opportunity to do the CF walk for Jordan. The goal for our team was to raise $1,000. We missed the mark but were happy that we made $900. There were about 15 of us that were walking for Jordan. This was the first year we have participated. It was amazing to see how many people were there. One "team" even raised $23,000. We started walking from the MTC park in Ogden and went along the Ogden River Parkway. It was a pretty walk in the trees. We even got to see part of the Dinosaur park. My sister in law and I both wish we lived closer so we could walk it more often.
On our walk, Casey saw the weirdest shoes. There was a girl that had shoes that had individual spaces for each of her toes. She claims that they are really comfortable. I had seen toe socks but never shoes. Very interesting. This was a very worthwhile event that I am sure we will be doing again next year.
