Friday Five

Happy Friday, all!


Here are some of my top 5 favorites of this week:


1. Spending time with these two (and Mama Bell) on Wednesday...Never a dull moment with little Boo Bell and watch out for Miciah- future NBA player! :)


This past summer...Lookin' fly!

2. Starbucks Soy Latte... Delicious!

3. Getting UU Yogurt with Kendra. Adam thought I would get 17 ounces worth of wonderful goodness. I proved him wrong by getting only 11.4 ounces (so much less, I know)
4. Sunny weather almost ALL week in the Portland area. Give me cold weather and sunshine any day!!
FridayPartly CDay: 47°
5. The arrival of my new Kindle... I need suggestions for some great reads. I am currently reading 'The Help' (better late than never) and am really enjoying it!
