Walking up my drive way in the warm spring air with nothing but my house, my life in front of me and the world behind me and thinking that I love my life.
The different shades of green behind our house
The swing set and all the laughter it holds
The days that patience runs freely through my veins
The way Will looks up to Wyatt
When I smile they smile
Wyatt's spontaneous displays of affection
The love Wyatt shows for Connor
Waylon's issue with smelling my feet
Dale's smile
How Weston loves for us to chase him when he's doing something bad and how he turns with that smile on his face and that giggle that is the same every time
Watching the boys with their daddy
How you can tell how well Waylon likes something by his rating of good or goood oood
Flip flops
The smell of fresh cut grass and the stripes Dale puts in our lawn
The crazy resemblance Weston has in his personality of his late Grandpa Bill
How he stares at his old truck, walks around and examines it
Waylon singing Bad Boys, his favorite song, Ghost Busters or Twinkle Twinkle little star to distract his little brother or just making up songs in general
The conversations the boys have together sitting at the table
How they play dad & kid
When Waylon says actually
Feeling comfortable and challenged
Waking up with one of them beside me
Their imaginary play world with Jacob, their girlfriend Gracely, and sometimes Mary.
Their other imaginary world full of grabboids sometimes Jacob is in that world too
How they pray for things new and old
Wyatt's love for fishing
Watching them sleep
Looking forward
Toddler feet
How they show us how fast they run
The way Dale inappropriately makes me laugh
Movie nights
Wyatt's tball games and what a great hitter he is and his horrible form when he runs
Waylon's perfectly plump little body
The way Weston can't wait to get down the hall to point out every single picture that has daddy in it as he tries to climb out of my arms with his finger pointing in the air, a huge smile on his face, and sparkles in his eyes
Their cute little butts in cartoon underwear or boxer briefs
Weston's bowlegged walk
Reaching for new things
Holding their hands
The way Weston says Daddy, cracker, please, signs more, his surprisingly southern accent when he says bye and how he waves his arms
The little things that Dale does, which is actually "women's work" but he isn't afraid to do them anyway
How asking Weston if he wants to go see daddy gets him out of the car excitedly every single time
Sink baths
Weston's cheese face
Waylon's head - hair or little hair
The sunsets out the kitchen window or from the deck
The boys sleeping next to each other and sharing the DVD player
The way Wyatt still (at 6) says "skaplodded" for exploded
Waylon's love for tomatoes and fruit
The love they have for their grandparents
Kissing their smooth plump cheeks
How I feel right now - happy, blessed, full
Their teeth. I love their perfectly spaced tiny teeth
The laughs in the bath even though the mess stresses me out
Their desire to have our attention
oh gosh I love this post T! Love it!! Made me so happy. My fav: feeling comfortable but challenged. What a great place to be. And the imaginary world of kids. E used to have an imaginary friend named Sasha. I totally forgot about that until now. And Sam doesn't say actually but the girls did. So cute. S says "oh, by the way....." and then he'll say something like I love you.
