Curiosity...
Do you ever wonder when you are stuck in traffic, or driving on the freeway "Where is everyone going?" I am a naturally curious person, and I always wonder things like this. When I see someone buying flowers at the store, I yearn to know who or what they are for? Present? Funeral? Just Because? Apology? I see my neighbors light on at 4:00 am almost every morning (when up feeding the baby) and wonder who in their right mind would be up at this hour, and WHAT are they doing over there?
My street has a plethora of elderly people and three who live close are chain smokers. I see them everyday smoking up a storm on their porches, in their cars AND while doing yard work. One of them has lung cancer and has spent weeks in the hospital. The days she gets back from the hospital she is right back out smoking her life away. If that doesn't make me wonder....why does she do it?
Now curiosity can be a tricky thing. Not to be confused with being nosy, or even judgmental. There is a fine line. I try to just keep it to lighthearted situations.
Sometimes I like to make up scenarios about someone I see in a store or restaurant, (see movie trailer below) all positive and in good fun of course. To sum up, I am a wonderer and people watcher, who likes to know a bit about the curious things in life. I know we are all a bit curious. Now I am curious, what makes you curious!?
p.s.I am not recommending this movie, I just like this scene.

Great to be 8!
Syd turned 8 last week and we have been partying! She wanted to go to Red Robin for her B-day dinner. YUM! For her presents on her day she got a whole bunch of clothes; such a fashionista!
The Saturday after her Birthday we went with some friends to get mom/daughter pedicures and manicures. It was a surprise for the girls, so that made it even more fun!
The panda's were there to "prop" them up. We thought it was so cute, and of course they love it!
The finished products...
After the pedis, we headed to Olive Garden for soup, salad and breadsticks! DELICIOUSO! (I have been watch Dora lately). Well, I am so glad I have one girl to do "girlie" things with. We had SO much fun and she felt so grown up, because we did things that "adults do!" She will be baptized April 9th. My goodness, is she really THAT old!?
On another note...Lando is Mr. Creative. He uses this stool as a tunnel for his cars. He plays with his cars for HOURS on end. Wesley never did this, so this is new to me.
Also, look what Mr. Colton can do. He is ALL over the house and pulling himself up on everything. His favorite thing to do is unplug all the cords that are plugged in. Safe, I know. Never fear Wes. The next post will be about you! He is counting down until his 6th B-day! 11 days!!

Little Miss Syd
Since Sydnie is the oldest and the only girl, she is extremely special to her mom! I could not raise four kids and be sane without her because she helps me so much (especially during tax season when Aaron is MIA). She is extremely creative and REALLY good at coming up with games or activities for all those brothers of hers to play (see pics below).
I LOVE the fact that she has such a good attitude about life and I love that she is SO easily excitable! I told her we were going to the store to get her some new socks and she was so excited to go and pick them out! And that is just a little thing. Imagine how she acts when I tell her we are doing something that is REALLY fun! She makes chains, and charts and counts down the days until the event, reminding EVERYONE in the process of how much longer we have etc. Her genuine cheerfulness and happiness over simple pleasures make me so happy and keeps me young at heart!
I also love the fact that she is already making great choices. If she feels uncomfortable in a situation, she will avoid it (or she will tell me about it, hopefully this will be the case for years to come. One can only hope). My only daughter is getting so old and mature. She turns eight March 2, and will be getting baptized April 9th! My goodness, we love her so much!!
This was a game she thought of, whoever can put the money all the way up to the the armpit without laughing, wins!
She keeps Landon entertained for hours. This was one of those times.
She loves to organize. She organized the rubber bands from Wes's rubber band gun and labeled "how well they shoot." If you can't quite read it: Pink=hardest Blue=fastest, Yellow=Stretchiest, Green=fun/easy, Orange=highest
She helps me so much with Colton. He loves her a ton!!
