5 Sharp Lives: I'm Thankful!

I'm Thankful!

I have a list for you because honestly I have been extremely busy and can't even think or see straight. Being busy is good, but damn, sometimes you need a break. So, I give you a list of things I am so completely thankful for. I'm only going to give you 15. I don't want to bore you to death, but this is nowhere near a complete list.

Weston and his big genuine smile when he is proud of himself
Sharing the best belly laughs with Wyatt
Wyatt's new found love with seeing how tall he is using me as the reference
Waylon telling me he is going to be a good boy for the day out of the blue (we've been working on this)

Helpers around the house
Dale and I talking about our day
Stretching my legs in bed and finding a child at my toes
Morning drop offs that go so well and everyone is peaceful
Slobbery kisses
When the boys share
When the boys have an actual conversation that doesn't end in "you're an asshole"
A clean house even when I can hardly keep up
A date night with Dale and the foot and shoulder massage he gave me later
The backup camera in my car - I love that thing!
A job promotion!!!

When I took this picture Wyatt actually asked if I was going to back over them. Aw, silly, silly boys!

My life seems like a whirlwind lately. But, oddly I find myself at peace most of the time. Is this a new normal? I'm not sure I have the energy to keep up. I thought it was the exercise draining me, but I have come to the conclusion it is life and I'm ok with that!

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.
