My Favorites....

My top priority is teaching my sweeties to follow God's plan, choose the right, and to love one another as Jesus would. My heart melts as I see them adore, care and serve each other and Dad.

I was reflecting how having my kids read this blog post now and in the future will teach them more about some of my aka Mom's favorite things. Oh aside from my exceptionally adorable favorite Hubby, favorite Tanner, favorite Brooklyn, favorite Kaden and favorite Colby.

My favorite color has always been Blue.

Red would be the runner up.

My favorite food has been Mexican as far back as I can remember. My Mom used to get us Del Taco burritos after a day at the beach. Then the Miguel's addiction started sometime in the pre-teen years. My top three Mexican food restaurants are Chipotle, Cafe Rio and of course Miguels's. Dad has said that you kids might think you are Mexican because we eat it at home and out to eat at least twice a week.

Can't forget my favorite desserts...I LOVE dessert! I often go out to eat with Dad and purposely save room for dessert and leave my food for leftovers. Claim Jumper desserts would be my ultimate favorite dessert place, second would be BJ's Pizza pazookies.

Cookies are yummy, I'll eat nearly any kind. Oatmeal chocolate chip with walnuts, Oatmeal- chocolate chip-coconut-and toffee, Peanut Butter (Grandma Hundley's cookies with the criss cross tops!) Brownies with nuts are great. Ice cream- Rocky Road like my hubby, Pecan Pralines, CC cookie dough and Strawberry Shortcake ice cream bars from the ice cream man. I've liked those for over 30 yrs.

My favorite restaurant dessert is chocolate chip calzone from Claim Jumper.

My favorite song is by far my wedding song, "You say it best when you say nothing at all", by Allison Krauss. Dad and I danced to it on our first date.

Favorite Non-Church Music- love-love-love Sarah McClachlan and Norah Jones voice. Any mushy love song that has a happy ending. Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley are my favorite country singers.

The rest of these songs have significant meaning to me:

Enrique Iglesies- Hero
Mana- Vivir Sin Aire
Carrie Underwood- I’ll stand by you
Brad Paisley- Then
Great Day to be Alive Travis Tritt
Norah Jones- Come away with me
Kenny Chesney- Don’t blink
Sara  Evans- I Could Not Ask for More
Tim McGraw- It’s Your Love
Phil Vasser- Just Another Day in Paradise
Diamond Rio- One More Day
Brad Paisley- We danced
 

My Favorite Church songs are:

A Child's Prayer (The song I sing to Tanner since he was a baby)

I Feel My Saviors Love (The song I sing to Brooklyn since she was a baby)

I Love to see the Temple and I am a Child of God (The songs I sing to Kaden since he was a baby)

I'm Trying to Be Like Jesus (The song I sing to Colby )

When I Am Baptized "Rainbow Song".

Have I done any Good in the World Today (One of my Dad's favorite songs)
I know that My Redeemer Lives
Teach me to Walk in the Light
Families Can be Together Forever

I have always liked to dance so, I love music with lots of bass.

I thoroughly love giving and receiving kisses. I cherish every hug, snuggle, squeeze, wink and smile and
 I love hearing my angels sweet voices say, "I Love You Mama! "

Of course I have many many more favorites left to share, until next time.
