5 Sharp Lives: About Me

I’m a 30 something mom of 3 boys. I married my high school sweetheart after 7 years of dating and we are still happily married. I choose to write this blog to help me process my feelings. Some days you get the bottom of my heart, other times you get off the top of my head. I blog about everything from what life is like in a house full of boys, to how much I love my friends, to the grief of a miscarriage and the passing of my father-in-law. There will be many more things that come up in my life that you will find here. Recently running has made its reappearance in my life and something that I push through to make sure I'm healthy and being the best me in my adventure of living my best life.

Sometimes I like to be funny, other times I like to stretch my writing ability, sometimes I just like to tell you what I’m feeling and not care about what everyone else thinks. I try to love the small moments as my boys grow no matter how stressful they are. This blog helps me keep things in perspective.

I’m open. I’m honest. I’m a Christian.

I work full time, I cook dinner usually five nights a week and no, not just frozen stuff. My husband is a teacher and a coach. He’s good at what he does, but he has dreams of being a truck driver and already has the mouth of one. You will surely hear about that here.

Everyone has a story, a past that they have lived. Sometimes it is good, sometimes bad. All of it got me to where I am today, in a happy, content place with myself and my family.

When I’m not here you can find me on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Google +, in my livingroom, sleeping, cleaning, or in the bleepin kitchen.

I’d love for you to follow along and leave me your thoughts as we go.

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!

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.
