5 Sharp Lives: Perfection

Perfection

I rushed home from work, made a bunch of PB&J, bagged up some Doritos, filled the damn Sonic cups with water, threw in a blanket, and rushed the boys to the car.

This was our destination.

This was my view.

These are the moments in my life as a mom I live for.

Jelly faces.

Silly smiles.

Peacefully playing together.

My three boys, whom I've dreamed of raising. They are right here with me right now making my dream come true and showing me what matters in life. A quiet simple squat at a state park with no one else around. We were free to be ourselves and love each other in the simplest way. We didn't need toys, or music, or balls, or playground equipment. Just each other (and some pb&j)! Picnic day was an unanimous HIT! They are still talking about it, BOTH of them! They loved it!

Top it all off, a perfect sunset. This is what my dream of being a mommy looked like. Not the stress, not the rush, just simple moments like this.

You are so right!
Perfect life doesn't come from winning the lottery, wearing designer clothes or going away once a year on an exotic holiday.
It is the everyday simple pleasures that make our memories.
Well done for making the best of a beautiful day.

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.
