Cassin's Finch - Inquisitive

Now I am cool like Aunt D...Hummingbirds are Omnivores...

I finally captured a hummingbird eating gnats...I first saw this when Aunt D sent me some pics from California...

Wedding Bells..

The last bachelor from the Class of 1991 (as far as I know) has finally gotten married. Here is a photo that shows the proof...

I don't get it...

Today when I went to Bed Bath and Beyond to buy a friend a wedding gift certificate, I saw a U of U doormat. I don't get the idea of having a doormat with a college team logo on it...I mean, isn't a doormat something that society frowns on? They call abused women doormats, people always refer to a person as a doormat if they let others walk all over him or her, etc... So, is the U of U doormat for BYU fans? or for Utes? It seems like many BYU fans would like nothing more than to wipe their mud, grass, dirt, and dog mess all over a U of U doormat....and then watch their football team do the same thing next Fall... :)

Greatest Snow in the Solar System...

Scientists say they are not sure if this white material on Mars is salt or ice crystals. I think it might be cocaine....

New Colt...

I am not sure the difference between a colt a foal and a filly, but this is one of those... :)

Drain the Lakers...

I used to want the Lakers to win it all this year. Then the Jazz would have been beat by the best team in the NBA and what is the shame in that? However, I have changed my mind. I detest Kobe and his arrogance and ashamedly take great joy in seeing him come up short in games. I loved that the Celtics fought back from 24 down and won Game 4. I want them to win it all in 5 games. I hate Kobe that bad...

Newfound Motivation...

I have a newfound motivation to exercise...So I can actually play basketball at at-least half-speed on Tuesdays. I went running tonight and might just start running nightly.

Ward Basketball

Finally, I live in a ward that has organized a night for the Elder's Quorum to play basketball. I have lived in 4 wards since being married and this is the first ward that has done it. It took them two years to organize it, but it has been fun. I actually have learned the names of more than a handful of quorum members too. I wish we had started earlier. Then maybe I wouldn't be in such lousy shape. I can't believe how out-of-shape I have become...

Tanager and Cicada

NativeMinnow...I saw the cicada on the tree branch in front of the bird...It got me Jonesing to go to the Green...It is that time of year when the cicadas hatch...We should make a trip.

Necessities...

I went to Walmart with my two little girls...I called their mom to see what we needed.

Me: "I got the milk and the liquid Drano...do we need anything else? What else do we need?"

My 4-year old dragged over a huge container of Jello Pudding and asked, "Do we need this Dad?"
