Friday FIVE

Today's five are my favorite things to do in my spare time - what, spare time? - yeah I don't even know what that is anymore. Anyway, here's my wish list of things I would do if I had a moment to myself!

1. Reading. I am almost done with Breaking Dawn and next on my list is Uglies and then Pretties. I'd also like to FINALLY read the Harry Potter series since we have them ALL and I have never picked them up.


2. Scrap booking/Card making. I am SO far behind, but I sincerely love sitting down and losing myself in this activity. I did get all of my pictures in complete order so all I have to do is get going, but it's a little overwhelming when you are five years behind. Still, I have so many cute ideas, so maybe this weekend I'll get on it. I at least need to finish Hallie's baby book and get STARTED on Audrey's book. Plus I need to make a memory book about my dad (one for me and one for my mom). And I owe Dallin a book of his first 8 years (he was baptised in March). See, overwhelmed!


3. Cooking. I love to cook and bake. I love to try new recipes. I even cleaned out most of my pantry cupboards yesterday and threw out things that have expired or I have never used. My little girls love to cook with me, so we have a good time. Night before last, we made fondue with the new fondue maker they gave me for my birthday. It was so yummy.


4. Taking naps. I love naps. I wish we had them mandatory every day. When I am chosen to be queen, it will be my first ruling. Seriously though, there is nothing like taking a time out and laying down in a soft comfy bed (or couch), pulling a blanket over yourself and closing your tired little eyes. Oh, love that. Until the little ones wake up and tiny sticky fingers are trying to pry your eyes open, "Mom, are you awake? Audrey's poopy."


5. "Working" on the Computer. Obviously. I always love to check 5 things when I sit down to the computer - you'll have to check back next Friday to see what they are...

Friday FIVE

1. These new little snacks are wonderful: Pringles Stix. They come in vanilla, pizza or wheat. And best part - they are only 100 calories. They are crunchy and flavorful. Funny thing is - I love them, but my kids don't care for them. At least I don't have to worry about them trying to steal my "diet" food!

2. I have so much fun watching Dallin's baseball games. He is finally really getting it this year and he hardly ever strikes out. In fact this week he hit a home run. I was so proud! I love sitting at the park watching the games. The atmosphere is just fun!!!

3. I love daisies. They are so cheerful, you can't help but smile at them. I love all sorts of colors of them, but something about the white shasta daises with their sunny centers just makes me happy. I have transplanted some from my mom's yard to my own and I hope I picked a good spot and they will bloom this summer.

4. Maybe it's the scrapbooker in me, but I love stickers. I love to make cards with them, scrapbook with them, stick them on notes and letters, they are just fun and they come in SO MANY styles. I have hundreds of them just waiting for the perfect project or occasion. My favorite site to order them or just browse: stickersgalore.com (where else?)

5. Love going out to lunch. Weather it's picking a new place or visiting an old favorite. It's so much fun to go out. And it's especially nice to go with good friends. I work with some great people and I love to go out with them. My favorite places to go to lunch right now?

• Thai Siam or Sawadee (I LOVE Thai food)
• Paradise Bakery
• Little World (Chinese)
• Orbitz Cafe
• Caputos

Can you tell it's getting close to lunchtime????
