Well, we are nearing the end of our Top Ten Lists. Are you sad? Today brings us to one of my favorite lists, my Top Ten Activities.
- Cooking – If you have read any of my old blog posts you will be able to tell that I love cooking. I love any and all cooking, but especially baking. I am somewhat of an experimenter when I cook. I like to start with a basic recipe and adapt it to my taste buds. However, I hate to taste food until it is completely done. A good chef tastes throughout, but I don’t like to taste really until the end. This presents problems sometimes. If you are interested in past recipes read here and here.
- Painting (I am a novice) – I started this a few years ago. I haven’t painted much in the last year, but I find it somewhat relaxing. I also like to do other art projects like mosaics. Here are a few of my favorite projects:
- Being a mommy – This is a recent development (as of April 28), but I am loving it. I start back to work full time on August 3 and am not looking forward to it. However, Mikayla will be in good hands with my loving husband. I love everything about being a mommy for Mikayla – playing with her, talking to her, changing her, bathing her…the list goes on. I mean how could you not love being a mommy to this cutey?
- Playing disc golf – In this post I mentioned that the disc golf course was one of my favorite places to be. So naturally, playing disc golf is one of my favorite activities. I love taking Shiloh out and playing by ourselves, or playing with a large group of people. I even like walking while everyone else plays! It is a relaxing atmosphere.
- Playing with my nephews – In this post I mentioned that I have two nephews: Tyson (2) and Tanner (almost one). They are the sons of my older sister. I think they are the cutest and sweetest boys in the world. Judge for yourself:
- Goofing off with my husband – If you know Ben at all you know he is one goofy guy. I love to wrestle with him, sit around and exchange jokes, play games, run into town, and many more. He can make almost any situation a fun one. Here are some funny pictures of him goofing off:
- Going for a walk with Mikayla and Shiloh – I haven’t done this very often because lets be honest, I am lazy! However, this is one activity that I thoroughly enjoy!
- Reading – Again, this is not one I have gotten to do very often, but I do enjoy it.
- Playing Settler’s of Catan – Cody and Amanda Chapman introduced us to this fantastic game. In my opinion, it is a cross between Monopoly and Risk. I loved it so much after we first played it that I downloaded an online version and would play myself. I am ridiculous I know! Just recently, the Pavey’s introduced me to Catan the card game. It is the same concept, but only a two player game and much quicker than its counterpart. There are many other variations of Catan games.
- Being married to Ben – This isn’t really an activity, but I really enjoy being with my husband. I love him very much!
That’s it, all of my favorite activities in the world. Well, not really all of them, but at least the Top Ten. I think I will go and enjoy one of those activities right now!
