Before you can understand who I am, you first have to meet the three people who drive me the craziest, make me laugh the hardest, and love me the fiercest (is fiercest a word?).
This is my husband, Tyler.
Pastor, football coach, new (choosen by default) soccer coach, master chef, podcast obsessor, vision seeker, father, husband.
He has SO many roles. Each of them make our family go 'round.
Two years ago, we went through the toughest time in our marriage. So tough, we were doubtful that we would come out on top. But we did. We not only survived, but now, we thrive (at least most days).
More on what its like and what it means to be his wife in other posts.
But real quick, I can't imagine doing life with anyone except him.
Next, my first born - Landon Shae.
If you are new to this blog or new to my life. There is a little fun fact about our family that you may not know. If you are curious, you can read about his entrance into the world here!
Landon is in preschool and will be going to kindergarten next year. Unless I decide to just lock him in our house and never let him grow up so he can stay with me forever....if only that were an option.
He has the biggest heart and I'm convinced its made of gold. He loves so deeply and passionately. His witty, intelligent personality is usually too much for me to handle and he is wise beyond his years.
I'm sure he is going to change the world.
My second (and hopefully last) born - Toren Asher
He is easily the funniest, most free spirited, curious child I've ever encountered. Seriously, he is hilarious and he has been the most perfect addition to our family.
He is a recovered pacifier addict and he loves his big brother more than anyone else. He also really loves ducks, and music...specifically drums.
Not to mention, this child is freaking adorable. His mysterious blonde hair and blue eyes are one of the reasons he didn't sleep until he was 18 months old. I can't stand to not rock him and just stare at him.
Above everything else, he is so sweet, full of love, and super cuddly.
If you want to read about his entrance into the world, you can read it here!
My children have a way of having ridiculous, crazy, surprising, entrances into the world.
(Why do you think we don't want any more children of our own?
Seriously terrifying. Who knows what could happen!)
And...Me! Vanessa.
I'm a mama, wife, photographer, dance coach, cheer coach....I just get to do a lot of random things that I LOVE doing because my husband is willing to support our family.
In the last two years, I've finally found value in myself as a stay at home mom and if you are currently struggling with this, you are not alone. Its hard! Way more on this topic later.
Random facts about me - I love sushi, bad reality TV (mostly the bachelor saga), and I have a new obsession of playing the ukulele.
We have two cats - Ella and Mico, and our children adore them.
We just recently added a new fish to our family.
He was purchased on Solar Eclipse day so naturally, Landon named him, Eclipse.
Speaking of that, have you watched the show This Is Us? If you haven't, you should! My husband cries almost every episode!
