Its almost time for Kindergarten. That's right, my sweet baby boy is getting ready to go to Kindergarten this fall and his momma is in disbelief. I dont have any regret about doing more with him, or spending more time with him, but I am scared out of my mind if he is ready. Who will be there if no one is there to play with him? Will he be brave and courageous in all he does? Will he be willing

I was super excited to kick of 2012 this year. A fresh new start and see what God has in store for our little family. We celebrated with our life group and had a murder mystery. It was super fun. Eric was a golfer and I was a chef. Neither of us were the murders but we had a good time trying to solve the mystery. Actually eric was REALLY into it. And he solved it correctly. Here are a few

Let's be honest what little girl does not want to grow up and be Miss America. I have fond memories of always watching the show and even pretending I was Miss America. I have no desire to push Lynley to be Miss America but she can do whatever she wants and her dad and I will support her 100% however I can totally see him being a little hesitant on the pageant circle.Anywhoooo.... today I woke up

This is the second time we have gone to Minnesota and volunteered at Feed My Starving Children. It is a ministry that packs food for the less fortunate all across the world. I love this ministry because the WHOLE family can get involved. John Hunter is still talking about packing food for the people in Haiti. Eric and I love it too because as a family we were able to serve and teach our children

So I know I'm a little behind in the blogging world so while were away for Christmas in gonna try and catch up. But for now I've been thinking a lot about Christmas. It truly us one of my most favorite times of the year. And being the mom of two adorable babes has made it even more magical. So why am I constantly stressing out over every small detail of Christmas. I am confident jh is not

Each year our church does a breakfast call Breakfast in Bethlehem. It is a time where you go eat a pancake dinner, watch the christmas story come to life and sing carols with the family. It is super fun, and I love to see the kids watch the Christmas story come to life. We had a great time at it this year, but if there is one take away from this event it is a funny John Hunter story.As you might

Along with Thanksgiving we got to celebrate Gigi's 60th Birthday, and I cannot think of a better person to celebrate. We went to dinner on Friday night to a great place that sits on the water, and then came home and had cake!Saturday Morning (her actual bday) we woke up and did presents. Now what do you get an amazing Gigi who has everything. Well I started thinking, and dad and I put together a

We sure do have a lot to be thankful for this year as we celebrate Thanksgiving! We had a great dinner and ate way too much. My parents came up and some friends from our life group joined us. It was a great time had by all.These are chocolate bar place cards that I had at everyones table... they were super cute and YUMMY!Mom and I along with Lynley went out on Black Friday and got some fun stuff

Sweet Lynley girl you turned 2 months old on November 21 and what a 2 months it has been. We love you so much and we have lots of fun nicknames for you. Your brother calls you sweetie pie, mom likes to call you Lulu and Princess, and Daddy calls you baby girl! We love all your smiles and we all just gawk at you each time you small. You are starting to talk a LOT. I guess it is just par for the

Eric sister Anna and her husband Ben and daughter Kyah came for a visit in November. We had a great time and it was wonderful to see the cousins interact. It was a glimpse of all the things yet to come. We just hung out on Friday night and Saturday we braved the preholiday traffic and hit the mall.We wanted to take the kiddos pictures and that was always interesting. When you take a 5 year old, a

We had a wonderful weekend with our family. Aunt Sarah and Uncle Greg flew in from Cali to meet Lynley and hang out with the rest of us. We had a great time and were truly sad when they left. It had been a YEAR since we have seen them and that is just NOT ok!I am so impressed with the way the love on our kiddos and how patient they are with them. From going out to dinner, playdates at the park,

All fall long JH has asked to play in the leaves. He thinks it looks like so much fun and honestly it is. But the truth of the matter is we live in a new neighborhood and we don't have a whole lot of leaves. There are lots of leaves at Mrs. Stewart's house (his teacher) and he is always talking about playing in the leaves there.The other day it was the perfect fall day. High 60's, blue skies,

Each year in MOPS we have had the opportunity to participate with Operation Christmas Child. It is something I love to do and it always gets me in the Christmas spirit. This year was one of the first years JH was old enough to understand the concept and get into it. I tried explaining that we were getting gifts for a kid who otherwise would not have any for Christmas and pretty much all they were

We kicked off the Trick or Treat season by carving pumpkins. Well we only carved one, but it was intense. We invited our neighbors over for dinner and pumpkin carving and he brought his drimmel tool so we were set! Here are some of the pumpkin pics.... Katie and Tim have a little girl Clara who is 6 weeks older than Lynley and we saw this picture on pintrest so we decided we would give it a try.

On Sunday we took the children to StoneyCreek farms. I had been wanting to go all "fall" but with a newborn I found it difficult to find time. We were gonna go on Friday but John Hunter came down with some food poisoning. So we went on Sunday! And my exact quote was, it was the BEST day ever. We had so much fun. John Hunter was thrilled with the activities and Lynley loved her first hay ride..

This is one of my life's core values. Life does happen best in community. When we moved here to Indy I feared we would never have any friends and always be alone. God had something bigger planned. We joined a church, met some friends, and started doing life. I don't mean we went out to dinner once a month, or sent a few how ya doing text messages. I mean these people know my ugliness and love me

So all day long I have seen people post the 30 day thanksgiving challenge. I think it's a really great idea but I wanted to take it one step further. I want my sweet little to know what I am thankful for more than my "followers" on Facebook. So after a quick trip to the dollar tree and some rummaging around in my art closet I've come up with the following idea.A grateful poster. Sounds simple

This past weekend we went to Lexington to spend time with friends and family. What was even more fun was that we took our neighbors Katie and Tim with us. They have 2 girls Macie Mae (2) and Clara (3months). The kiddos were so great and we had such a good time. We went out to eat fun places, went and saw the horses run at Keeneland, and then spent some good time with friends and family. I was so

Lynley was one month on Friday the 21st and what a month it has been. This sweet little girl has forever changed our lives. We have her one month appt on Thursday so we will know her stats then. Until then here are some highlights. She seems to be super laid back She is very vocal. Loves to talk She sleeps pretty good She loves her big brother She loves all music She does good on the go She

We had our last soccer game this weekend, and although it has been a blast, I am thankful to not have to be up and out the door so early on a Saturday morning. John Hunter loved it and his team went undefeated. Thanks to Coach "Uncle Brent" and Coach Dad. He did improve a lot and we were able to teach him some valuable lessons on sportsmanships (which he needs some work on). Yesterday they won 13

Today I woke up with a feeling of being a little overwhelmed. I am thinking that the change to 2 kiddos can do that to you. We had a house full of new toys, a 5 year old who was dying to play with them and a momma and sister who didn't get much sleep.Gigi and grandad left this morning for their big trip, and after breakfast we went to the peds office for a weight check for Lynley.

Today we celebrated John Hunter in John Hunter style. It was all about spiderman and chuck e cheese. To be honest I cannot believe I did a chuck e cheese party, but with a 3 week old it was about all I could pull off! John Hunter loved EVERY moment and that is really all that matter.The day started off with cupcakes at school. He was so excited to take them in. After school we went to lunch with

Dear John Hunter, Five years ago you forever changed our world. Never did I think we would have a Friday the 13th baby, but in normal JH style, you did things on your own accord. You have forever changed your dad and I's world and we love you so much it hurts sometime.Over the past year we have watched you learn, grow, become independent, make buddies, crave stories from the Bible, sing songs,

At the encouragement of several friends I am gonna give this blogging thing a try again. It will be a good way to keep up with our family and a good outlet for my writing! So where to begin. I thought about trying to catch up on the last NINE months of my life, but the highlights would include being deathly sick, summer fun, and being deathly sick. So we are gonna start here.

So it is 3:43 AM and I have to be up for work in 3 hours. It has been a long night. John Hunter had a hard time going to bed because of terrible pain in his ears. He screamed for several hours and finally I think the new meds kicked it. Poor baby is having such a hard time. Please remember him in your prayers. We have found that when Eric and I pray over him together even in the midst of his

So with all our sickness and tiredness it would be an understatement to say that our laundry has gotten out of control. Today WHEN I GET CAUGHT UP..... I have decided to do a load everyday and stay on top of things. We can never let it get to this situation again. And to think we are about to add another persons laundry into the mix... YIKES!And how about the ironing. Yesterday while my sweet

So I know it has been over a COUPLE of months since the last time I posted, but our lives have been crazy. Here is a quick list of some things we have going on1. We remodeled our entire downstairs. Ripped up carpets and vinyl, and installed ceramic tile and hardwood. When I say we I mean my mom and dad did most of it. It looks beautiful and when it is all back together I will take lots of pics2.

I think it is always good to look back and see where God has brought me in my life. Funny to think that one of those milestones is MLK day. It was 2 years ago this weekend that Eric moved into the rental house here in Indy and JH and I came up for a visit. I remember this day so well because we went to the Indy Zoo in the freezing cold for the FIRST time! It was a great memory that I love to

So some days I feel like we are never gonna leave this house. I have felt like this for several days (although we have had a low key weekend and left the house several times). But after so many hours I feel like we need a change of pace or scenery. Or maybe it's just mommy that does. Well this afternoon we were home and I was struggling to come up with some "new" things to do. We have played,

We are so blessed with some the test results that we have gotten so far. His heart is normal and we could not be more thrilled. We heard from the ENT and his sinus are COMPLETELY blocked and we are on meds and hoping we dont have to do sinus surgery! We go next week for his sweat study to rule out CF, and we are already praying over that, would you join us?We know that God has a plan and we are

Long before this day was spoken into existence, the Creator of this day knew we needed Him. As JH and I drove to the Hospital this morning (Eric left early for work and met us there) we sang songs. It only seemed fitting to sing a childhood favortie:This is the day, this is the day, that the LORD has made, That the LORD has madeI will rejoice, I will rejoice and be glad in it, and be glad in it!

So I said before 2010 was not great, and 2011 is proving to be a little harder. But this morning I was reminded that God is bigger than all the worry I can muster, so I am placing all my worry in his hands.As many of you know we have had SOOO much trouble with JH's ears. We had tubes put in last March and still have had lots of infections. Well I took him to the ENT before Christmas we did 3

In a nut shell I am gonna say that 2010 was bad year. There are SEVERAL reasons that come to mind, some worth sharing some not. The year started off my turning 30 which is a milestone that I don’t want to relive. I had big plans for 30, but confident I can still succeed. 30 was a hard year, it was hard for me, my marriage, my family, and those that know me. Throw in debt, deception, miscarriage,

Let it be said that Christmas 2010 has to be one of the best ones in a VERY LONG TIME.... it is just what our family needed. I will post more on this later but I cannot wait for 2010 to be OVER! Anywhooo we had a great Christmas. My parents came up on Thursday and we had a great time with them. Mom and I took JH to see Santa Claus at the Santa House which was JUST ADORABLE.

Last night I had planned to make chicken stirfry with veggies and steamed rice. When I ran this idea by Eric he was not feeling it. I already had chicken thawing so we decided to give homemade chicken strips a try! And I have to say they were YUMMO! I used the following recipe!I cut THREE large chicken breast in to stripsMarinated them in buttermilk for 15-20 min. (However I did not have any

I so wish I could send everyone in the world a Christmas card, but that would take entirely way too long, but I would love the addressing, stamping, stuffing, etc. I love running to the mailbox each day to see the new cards we have gotten. It brings a smile to my face. So since I cannot send everyone a card here is a copy of our Christmas Card this year...Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

So John Hunter had his first school play at school on Thursday. It was cute and the kiddos did so good. They have been working on it for a while, but something about putting 75 3-4 year olds together makes the songs a little more comical. Anyway they did great and I was so proud of my boy!

I have no idea why this picture is so small but this soup is so yummy. This is what was served at the White House tonight, and I am looking forward to leftovers for lunch tomorrow. It was super east and tasty, great to serve with salad or toast! Give it I whirl.

Well the first snow fall has happened and we enjoyed it to the fullest. Along with Gigi and Grandad coming, they brought an EXCELLENT book. Frosty the Snowman. Which was perfect for the first snow fall. You can buy it at Hallmark, but the coolest part is you can record your own voice reading it your children (or grandchildren in this matter) John Hunter loves it, and Eric and i do too! Dad does

Last night Eric and I were supposed to go to Columbus, OH for the night for his Christmas party and it had to be rescheduled due to a death. Well my parents were coming anyway to take John Hunter to the symphony and then to Breakfast in Bethlehem this morning. So we planned a date night!I thought we would just go to dinner and maybe walk around shopping or look at Christmas, and we did that. But

So we love Christmas time and we LOVE our neighborhood. A couple months ago we got "boo"ed, Maybe you did to. Someone would put a ghost in a treat on your front door and you should spread the idea hoping the spirits don't catch you. Well we LOVED the idea of a fun sneak attack on your neighbors, but we did not participate because we did not want to dabble in the world of evil spirits with ghost

Today as we celebrate Thanksgiving I thought I would make a list of the 30 things I am thankful for since this is my 30th Thanksgiving :)1) My faith in Jesus Christ. Some days I am not sure I could make it through the day, but I am reminded that Because He Lives, I can face tomorrow!2) My husband, we have had a REALLY hard year, as in one I don't ever want to relive, but he has stood by me, loved

So as many of you know Focus on the Family holds a special place in the hearts of Eric and I. We have so many fond memories of the friends, places, and things we learn. I was VERY sentimental to go back and take our son with us. It was a really big deal for me. Once we got there, Eric, realized how much that place shaped who we are and what we believe.We were also able to take John Hunter to

So we ventured to Colorado last week to celebrate the marriage of Sarah (my sister in law) and Greg (my now brother in law). We had a great time and it was WONDERFUL to see family and friends. Eric, John Hunter, and I drove out there and although I was dreading EVERY minute, it was wonderful!. Everyone did gret, no one slept, and the company was excellent! We arrived on Wednesday Morning and hung

So on Tuesday we are headed to Colorado for the wedding of my amazing Sister in law. I could not be more excited to share in her special day, and we are thrilled to welcome Greg into the White family. I love when a new "in law" joins....Colorado as many of you know holds a special place in my heart. First and foremost I can truly say I encountered God there. Those mountains and their majesty

I have been reading a lot on Exodus. There are many reason for my visit to the Old Testament, so rich with history, and so relevant to my life today. One reoccurring theme that i keep seeing is the line "and an altar was built and it was called" I am not sure how much reading in Exodus you've been doing but just take a glance I am confident you will see it!I love the story in Exodus 17 where the

I am gonna post in bullet points:* The BIG surprise was that we went home and surprised my mom by picking her up from the airport after being in Flordia for a week.

Yesterday we celebrated John Hunter's 4th birthday. We have a few of his friends over to bounce around. It was so much fun. The highlight of the party was we had the MetLife blimp hover over our house for the party. They were so generous for doing us and it THRILLED one little four year old boy. I cannot believe my baby is almost four and can't even express how grateful for him and what he has

So long before I had a child I knew this day would come. And yesterday it happened. And i am so proud of myself for the way I handled it I deemed it "blog-worthy"This summer I had some pants made for JH. They are more than adorable and I personally love them. I picked out the fabric, monogramed shirts to go with them, and it even had shoes to match. They were beyond adorable in my head and laid

Yall, words cannot express how much your words of encouragement, acts of kindness, and prayers covering our family has meant. We are blown away by the family of God. It has not only blessed me it has challenged me to bless others in a totally new way.We still have waves of sadness, but we are GRATEFUL for a God who bottles our tears and brings us joy. Please hear me when I say, we are blessed by

Today as a family we grieve the loss of a little one. A few weeks ago we found out we were pregnant and although we were thrilled there quickly arose some things that we were not "normal" after several blood test, an ultrasound, and doctors appointment, our little blessing has gone home to be with Jesus.This morning we went in for a D & C and although we have been through a gamete of emotions

So today I started to panic that both John Hunter and I needed a family photo. The last "real" staged family photo we took was in the summer of 2009. That was just way too long. So with the help of my neighbor friend. We were able to get a couple of shots that are worth the carry to the classroom tomorrow :) Thought I would share:)JUNE: 2009SEPTEMBER: 2010

And since we were all going together, I decided to make everyone shirts.

And to say I am tired is an UNDERSTATEMENT!I am excited to be with all my students and their parents are precious, but I will be resting up this weekend. So today I had my 5 min of fame.

Football. I don't know if you know this about our family but we are die hard football fans. It seems funny for me to write that seeing that I got a book as a wedding gift called "football for dummies" but I have grown to love the sport only out of surrender! And every August we get a little giddy about the pigskin!Well this summer was a little different because John Hunter is playing football. He

So for some time now I have been itching to get some pics of JH taken. There are SOOOOO many talented photographers that we know and could use, but when I started weighing price of photos to all the other "needs" in our life, I used BIG GIRL JUDGEMENT and decided to do it myself.Last night I read all I could about taking photos, editing, clothing options, etc. And this morning I geared JH up for

Welcome to the Neighborhood! We had some new neighbors moved in this weekend so we wanted to welcome them to the neighborhood! So what better way to welcome someone than food.

So today I felt like we moved into the world of "real parents". John Hunter is in organized sports league which means practice and schedules. However today we played a HOUR of football in the rain. And for some reason, I did not seem to mind. We was so glad to play, He did excellent. He scored and ran for about 40 yards. When he got the run he looked back at Eric, pointed and said, "now thats

So John Hunter has been a little under the weather. His ears of course, but it can make life REALLY difficult. I started thinking about how trying it is when your child is sick. It's not the sickness that gets me, its the complaining, whining, attitude, and pure misery that accompany the sickness. I know once the meds kick in we'll be better, but this time it has been so hard and difficult on me!

This weekend I went home to Lexington, and it was SOOOO amazing! Dad bought mom and I tickets to see Beth Moore in Rupp. It was so wonderful (thank you dad)! She was amazing! I brought home so many wonderful thoughts but one thing that really hit to the heart is that I have so much to be thankful for. She talked about keeping a gratitude journal and I have started to do the same thing. Daily I

So with John Hunter being gone last week one of the things that Eric and I talked about and worked on was how much responsibility a 3 year old can take. I have always been a big cheerleader of children helping out around the family. When we found out we were prego WITH JOHN HUNTER some wise friends introduced us to the concept of "our child is an addition to our family, not the CENTER of our

My little man is almost home... I am giddy with excitement. Eric has been gone and is now home. In case you live under a rock, EA Sport Madden 11 came out today! Me being wife of the year went and picked up my husbands pre-ordered copy:) Then finished the WHOLE house cleaning, baseboards, fans, carpets, etc. :) Some people spring clean! I end of summer cleaned! And i have to say it felt good!

Almost two years ago is when Chris Tomlin's God of this city came out. I remember sitting in southland singing it as they displayed local places that were my "home". At this point we had begun talk of moving to Indy and each time I heard that song visions of Lexington ran through my head. This was my home... these were my people, this is all I have known. I love it (and still do).We moved to

So we are half way through our week of just the two of us. Although I have gotten a LOT of stuff down around the house, it has been fun to hang out with just Eric. DON'T GET ME WRONG.... WE ARE MISSING MAGOO! However we have had several date nights, walks, conversations that are uninterrupted by "mommy or daddy". Today we did yardwork then headed to the pool, the a long afternoon nap. Eric just

This morning I got up and ran a ton of errands that needed to be done, and are sometimes difficult to do with a toddler in tow. I am also having a White Lilly Show this Saturday so I am working hard on that.I started working on John Hunter's closet and am purging along with making a list of the things he "needs" before school starts.I found myself in the middle of a pile of books and I would not

So today we packed up JH and sent him to MN for a week with his Nana and Big Daddy. To say this is HUGE is an understatement. This was a total last minute thing, but he was excited! We are excited for him and I know he will have a great time but we are missing him SOOOO bad right now.Here is a list of things I have accomplished today:1) Decorated Eric's MetLife office2) Walked around Hobby Lobby3

Here are some random thought that keep flowing in my head...1) I have to have a root canal tomorrow and I am NOT looking forward to it. I hate pain, I hate the dentist (however we are friends with our dentist so I don't hate him.... just his profession) and i would rather do ANYTHING else besides be in the dentist chair at 8:30 AM2) I have been knee deep in redecorating Eric's offices.

Growing up and even to this day one of my favorite memories has to be when company came into town. I vividly remember a time when my Gran and Granddad were coming into town, I had to be around 9 years old, and I paced and watched the front door waiting for them to drive in from Flordia. My PARENTS... both my mom and dad are great host and hostess. IF you have ever stayed at their house, been to

So this past Christmas was just a blur for us. We moved in our home on the 23rd and we continued unpacking well into the new year... well John Hunter was given a Zhu Zhu pet for Christmas. He didn't seem to so much interest in it at the time, so I put it away for another day. Well today was that day!We got it out this after noon and to say he is in LOVE would be an understatement!

So I have been MIA, I am not really sure why, but I have. I realized I have not blogged in almost 3 weeks, the only thing I can chalk it up too is summer! We have been at the Pool, VBS, and Minnesota... here are 5 of my favorite pics... from that point on I will be posting regularly :)

As if there was ever any question that my son was NOT all boy it was proven today by his love for all things explosive! My husband loves when things explode. To light the fire pit he pours gas on the fire then launches a match. Well the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.The 4th of July brings a lot of things to my mind. BBQ's, checkered table cloths, watermelon, etc, but when you say the 4th I

So it is officially summer. Our days have consisted of the park, the pool, lots of friends, and popsicles. And I would not have ad it ANY other way! However I am lacking in ONE area... I have not taken care of myself. I cannot think of the last time I put on make up or flat ironed my hair. And although I am confident NO ONE CARES, I think I am starting too. I had THREE separate conversations

We had a wonderful weekend full of water, fun, sun, and friends. It started of Saturday morning with a trip to the Indy 500 parade. We went with our friends the Jahn's and this is our 2nd year going. It was so much fun and Nolan and John Hunter enjoyed it SOOO much!Following the parade we headed to the pool, which is where we spent MUCH of our weekend. Twice a day for 3 days straight... hey, it's

Our last night in Boca was an adventure. We had a blast. They do this big off campus ordeal and let me just say they know how to do it right! We went by tour bus to the amphitheater in Mitzer Park to hear the dueling pianos.When we arrived there was a huge tent and a large wait staff ready to hand out carnival type foods, pop corn, pretzel, etc. The food was great the atmosphere was excellent and

I'm sitting on the pool deck right next the the ocean this morning. There is supposed to be a strong chance of rain this afternoon so I took morning to soak up some sun. Truth be told, I probably don't need too much more sun, but I am drawn too it!I love to people watch while here... I have seen a LOT of funny things.

I know it is just Saturday evening, but I feel the need to express just how wonderful this weekend has been! We have done NOTHING! Yesterday JH and I were home ALLLLL day with the exception of going to the park! And not only did we stay home we turned the TV off ( well when daddy got home we watched the draft) But it was a GOOOOOD day!Last night I went out by myself and did a little shopping for

When I was a child I remember my parents getting their kitchen table. It has always been a place of food, family, and fellowship. We ate dinner at the table most nights of my childhood.
