______________________________________________________________________

can your life be best described as a ballard, rock or film score? 
rock! i’m married to a total rockstar.

what would you do if you had an elephant in your back yard? 
instagram it immediately, then call jon.
we don’t really have a backyard.
but i’d guess that we would turn it in to a competition of some kind.
something like whoever gets 10 peanuts from the guest bedroom window
into the elephant’s trunk first, wins a 5 minute back tickle.
we are weird, i know.

what is your favorite TV show, past or present? 
REVENGE was the last craze we went through.
it’s slightly embarrassing how many shows we have whizzed through on netflix in a week.

what is your favorite beverage. any + all included?
i love a good raspberry lemonade with frozen raspberry chunks + an extra lemon on top.
pizza factory lemonade is the best in the west.
you will always find bottled water, kroger crystal light {smith’s version}
grape gatorade + dr pepper in our white fridge.
i enjoy anything with ‘poop’ ice in it. ya know that little pebble ice stuff? heaven sent.
a poop ice machine is number one on our want list. dear santa?

who would play you in the hollywood version of your life?
kelly rippa.
jonboy told me i looked like her on our second date!
it obviously went straight to my head.

if you could take 3 other people along with you on a tropical vacation, who would you take?
jon, jonah + my mom.

what is the first concert you ever attended? 
i want to say copeland. i could be wrong – – it feels like 100 years have passed since then.

you have 1 hour in a mall with no kids. what store do you go to? 
crate + barrel.
e v e r y single time we go in there jonah throws an over the moon tantrum.
i can’t imagine what it would be like without him.

what is a quirk of your’s that we might not know about? 
i have a treat dish in every room of our home.
i am addicted to candy. i hate chocolate, but i love candy.
i prefer to call it a treat > candy.
i know i could beat any + all of you in a treat eating contest, any day of the week.
i’ll make it easier with one hand tied behind my back + blindfolded.
sour patch kids are the bees knees.

when do you start your christmas shopping?
yesterday.
i hit up the peek kids sale + blamed it on christmas.
heaven knows i won’t be able to keep it in the closet that long, but i will try my darndest.

if you could wish for one frivolous trait for yourself, what would it be? 
to laugh loud.
when i am laughing r e a l l y hard the ground shakes, but it’s dead silent.
i hiccup louder than i laugh.
hiccups are the giveaway that i am laughing and not having a seizure.
my sisters are the same way so you can imagine all of us laughing together.
e a r t h q u a k e
we get it from our mama.
