a new idea

This little kid of mine certainly does keep me busy. Adam is now scooting every where and getting into everything! some of his favorite activities are "running" singing and dancing, trying to get any book I'm reading, and playing peek-a-boo.  He also enjoys frustrating me by not wanting to eat any solid foods (unless it is not what he should be eating) He is now right around 16 pounds and learning new ways to explore everyday.  This week Nathaniel and I have registered for the Top of Utah Marathon.  It will be my first, Nathaniel's second.  I've already been running a couple times, and aside from dying the first time, I am feeling pretty good! Adam enjoys the ride and getting out side almost as much as I do :)
My cousin gave me an idea about blogging that I am going to take and run with.  There is a list of thirty things to write about...I most likely wont post every day but at least it has given me a new idea.
I often ask my husband what song he has in his head at a given moment.  More often than not he says "slippery fish" because that is the first song that pops into his head.  He would also say that one of his favorite songs is "unwritten". its one of mine too.  We both like the idea of starting each day with a blank page and choosing what we wright on it as we go along.
If you asked Adam what his favorite song is he would probably say patty-cake (I'm not even sure that is a legit song) he sure seems to like it though.
As for me, my favorite song changes along with the weather, and what plays it'self most frequently through my mind. Today 'Your the Inspiration'  by Chicago strikes my fancy. Not only is this song filled with nostalgia, but it is incredibly well done.  Not to mention a killer music video. Classic.I grew up on Chicago, love that group.  Just because, I got onto Youtube and watched this song as a music video...have you ever done that? wow. it made my day.
What is your favorite song and why? Also, what is the first song that comes to mind when someone asks or what song are you thinking about right now? Do share :)

  1. My favorite songs for the moment are Breathe by Anna Nalick, and also Unwritten. (Did you see the wedding gift I made for kim? It has a line from that song.) The song that is in my mind the most often is Nearer My God To Thee. Weird, I know, but a girl needs all the help she can get when she's a mom.

  2. The song that is stuck in my head right now is "Beaches" by the Avett Brothers. I have no idea why, but it's been running though my head for the past couple of days. My favorite song is probably "Ballad of Love and Hate" by Avett Brothers. I just love the story in the song - sad, but interesting how "love" finally breaks through the crusty exterior of "hate". I also LOVE the song "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing". I cry every time I hear it!
