Happy Birthday-

My soon-to-be nephew has a birthday!!

THIS YEAR:

He learned how to crawl- even though he already knew how to walk

He got in a fight with the cement- and won

He took his love of horses to a new level

He thought about learning to fly- but decided he'd better not

While his mom tried to pour him a drink- he said to himself- "No, I think I'll just drink it like this, thanks"

And at the end of it all he enjoyed some relaxation time- in his little brothers car seat

This little guy is a incredible bundle of fun. He has such a wonderful little personality. He is always trying out new things and exploring his options.  He is super creative, can make a game out of anything, and has the best giggle (if you can say giggle when referring to a boy). 

We love him so much!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CODY!!

Driving:

So I have been trying to be more consistant in all aspects of my life lately and today it paid off, that's right, while driving. Two times I was driving in my lane diligently, during traffic. Both times the lane next to me I saw car after car pass me, the drivers with smug smiles on their faces. But I stuck in my lane, hoping it would pay off. And it did. Both times my lane then passed by the other lane, so far that I passed all those smug people and even people who had been in front of me to begin with. I did not have a smug smile on my face, no, it was in my heart. Normally I am a fickle driver, changing lanes here and there, (this is not the same as when you are on a small highway and you switch from the slow lane to the fast lane to pass and then back to the slow lane, which Chad would attribute to my fickleness, and I would attribute to good drivers ed classes, that is what you are supposed to do after all)

But in other driving thoughts, I just want to vent about things I do not understand. More than once I have been driving in the fast lane minding my own business, no one is around... not for miles, all the sudden a car enters the freeway, there is noone in the slow lane, not behind them or in front of them, no big deal right? But for some reason, unknown to the entire world, this car decides not to stay in the slow lane, no, they decide to come into the fast lane, where I was happily driving. They come in front of me and then BAM we're going 60 mph on I-80 (It's 75 mph here). What is up with that?? I do NOT understand.
