5 Sharp Lives: Time for D

Time for D

Our anniversary was great. A lot better than last year where we got a day away from the kids and were headed out the door to spend the night at a historic hotel close to us but noticed at the last second that our basement was flooded. We spent the next few hours bailing it out and by the time we were finished we were way too tired to do any celebrating, but we forced it anyway. We ended up having a pretty good time after all. That was our anniversary I am remembering, right?

The room wasn't that great and I wanted a massage, but he didn't. Then I wanted to go to the pool, but he didn't. So we stayed in our room and then got something to eat AND THEN were able to enjoy some fireworks (the real kind for all of you with your mind in the gutter.) It was pretty cool and we enjoyed our time together with just the 2 of us.

This year there were no historic hotel plans. I woke up on Saturday and asked him what he wanted to do. Our plans - go eat. Sounds great to me. I may or may not have thrown a little fit about not having any clothes to wear. We took the boys to my parents around 7. Did a little shopping for some stinkin clothes and didn't eat until around 9. I WAS STARVING! And it was GOOD!

Then we went to pick the boys back up and they begged to stay the night, ok Wyatt begged. Waylon whined. So they did, we went back home and decided to start watching a movie around 1:30AM. Smart, I know. So much for sleeping in and taking advantage of no kids. I stayed awake through the whole thing. SHOCKER! It was pretty good. Then off to dream land for the next 6 hours.

I say all of that to say after 14 years together, 7 official, nights like that are perfect for me. We don't need no fancy celebrating or even a card! We just need each other, being us and enjoying ourselves. The only thing I would trade it for is a vacation to Hawaii. Maybe year 10??!!

Thanks for the great night and for all of your help lately, babe! It makes the world of difference to me even if I don't act like it.

Glad your anniversary was flood free this year. I think sometime the least planned things are the best. I love just relaxing with one another. Congrats on the anniversary! Hawaii on year 10 would be so great!!

Dale

This is Dale. My Dale. The one I have spent pretty close to half of my life with. I love him. He loves God, he is strong, he provides for us, he treats me well, he makes me laugh. He's tall, dark, of course handsome, has got nice broad shoulders and a really cute butt. He is quiet and it takes quite awhile to get him to warm up, but once he does he is the best friend anyone could have. He is a great dad and his boys are his soft spot. I love spending my life with him. He makes everything ok when things are hard and he is my calm in the midst of a storm ... most of the time. I.LOVE.HIM!

Wyatt

This is our hilarious, sweet, cuddly, 5 year old boy, Wy Wy. He likes things his way and on his time. He is the best big brother around these parts. He is known to say "I love you, Mommy" out of the clear blue sky at home and in public. It's the best and usually gets quite a few "awe's" in public. He has got an amazing talent for sports already and has an arm that will surprise you. We love him to death and he brings us so much joy. He can also tell a story with the best of them and repeat almost any line from Sandlot, I know not all of them need to be repeated. He will start acting out scenes to movies at the oddest of times, but is always good for a laugh. (Click on the picture for Wyatt's birth story.)

Waylon

This is our 3 year old Waylonator or Wayners as his daddy calls him or Nayners as I like to call him now. He is the chubby little guy that has completely stolen our hearts. He loves to run naked around the house. He learns a ton from his brother. He can repeat anything you say to him, and understand most of it. He loves to dance, slide, play outside, wrestle, and bite his big brother. We don't have to worry about him sticking up for himself. He's got that covered. He sleeps like a champ and always has. His cuddle side is coming out, but he teases you 1st. He makes my heart swell. He finally calls me mommy now and momma on occasion. I might even get some "mom's" in there. He is so different from his brother it is amazing. Watching these two form such a tight brotherly bond brings us such joy. They truly love and enjoy each other. Nothing makes us happier! (Click on the picture for Waylon's birth story.)

Weston

This little guy is Weston. He was born on 1/25/11, 6lbs 15oz 21in. He is tall. He is already getting close to outgrowing the bassinet because of his length. He eats a ton and keeps me stressed out about my milk supply. He LOVES his brothers! You won't hear a peep out of him if one of them is holding him. They love him too! He's starting to smile and be more awake. There's nothing better than new smiles on a new face. He sleeps well at night and doesn't take too many naps during the day. He's starting to like baths. One thing you can always find him doing is squirming! He's been like this since the first time I felt him in my belly. We love what he brings to our family.
