Happy Birthday Parker

So I am a day late posting this, but Yesterday my baby boy turned 3. Boy do they grow up way to fast. It really does seem like yesterday that we were coming home from the hospital with our brand new baby boy. Now he is 3, talks like a champ and is very smart!!!! This year we went to Disneyland for his birthday (more post to come on that). He had a blast and was such a good kid. He had a good birthday and made a haul. Here are some pictures of his big day.

Saying goodbye, but not forever!!!

A week ago today Bryan's Grandpa passed away. It was very sad, but it was also very peaceful knowing that he is no longer in pain. He had pretty much every sickness from cancer to having a heart attack and Diabetes. He was a fighter and was loved by us all. We will miss him and his sense of humor greatly. It was hard to say goodbye, but we know it isn't forever. I am greatful for the knowledge I have that we will be with him again. We Love you and we will miss you Grandpa Clair.

Happy Halloween

We has a really good Halloween. It was a fun filled day. We first headed to Bryan's work to trick-or-treat. I can't believe how much candy they got from their. Bryan dressed up as a witch this year and thought it would be funny to scare Parker when we got to his work. When we walked in he jumped out of a cubical and Parker did not like his costume. We asked Parker if he knew who it was and he said no. We said it was daddy and he said take off those glasses so i can see your eyes. Then all day he kept telling me I don't like daddy's witch nose, he needs to take it off. It was pretty funny. Here are some pictures from Bryan's Work.

As you can see Parker was Buzz light year and Maelie was a little Flower. The other two are the little boys I babysit little Yoda and Darth Vader.

After we left Bryan's work we went to see Bryan's Grandma and Grandpa. Here is the most precious picture of Maelie and Bryan's Grandpa. I LOVE that she is softly touching his cheek.

Later that afternoon we headed to My sisters to go trick-or-treating. We first stopped by my grandma's to show her the kids and she loved that.We then headed over to my sisters, It was so much fun.They have a neighborhood dinner before we all go trick-or-treating, it is so nice. Parker loves being with his cousins. The older kids ended up going with there friends so Janan, Brielle, Bryan, Parker and I went together, while my mom and dad handed out candy. We has such a fun time and the two kids loved getting candy. We actually went for and hour and a half. That is how much fun they were having. Here are some pictures of that night.

After that we headed over to Bryan's parents to show them the kiddies and the dog. They gave Parker the cutest Halloween Mr. Potato head and Maelie the cutest bunny blanket toy. They love their grandparents. Here is Zoiee in her Halloween costume.

It was a fun filled day and boy was I exhausted when I got home!!!! Until next year!!!

Jazz Game and a bitter sweet feeling!!!

Thanks to Bryan's Co-worker Carter, we got the wonderful opportunity to go the Jazz game opener. It was such a blast. It was so loud in the arena. There was fireworks, streamers, glow stick and a lot of screaming people. I was really impressed!!! It was such a fun game too!!! Thanks again for the tickets!!! It was a fun to get to spend some much needed time with my husband doing something that we both love. Here is Bryan and I at the game.

Also a few weeks ago I was released as the Young Women's president in my ward. It was such a bitter sweet feeling. I was in this calling for 3 1/2 years so it was time, but leaving those girls was very hard for me. I don't miss the meeting, planning etc... But I do miss those girls a ton. They taught me a lot and were a very good group of girls. They will always have a special place in my heart. But for the time being I am calling less and it feels pretty nice!!!

Awesome Husband and Awesome Birthday

Sorry is has been a while since I have posted last. We have had computer issues. But I am back and ready to roll. I just had my birthday on Oct 20th. And let me tell you, I have the best Husband ever. He had a big surprise for me. On Friday Morning I hear my garage door open and I am thinking oh no someone is breaking in my house. Bryan was supposed to be at work. I run out to the kitchen half a sleep and there is my Awesome Husband standing with a bunch of balloons and a video camera. He wrote me a poem and made me pop the balloons to see where we were going. He surprised me with a little trip to St. George to see Les Mis and Big River at the Tuachan. Can I tell you it was so awesome. I loved it. Tuachan was so neat I recommend it to everyone!!!!! Bryan is so great. He had all of our stuff packed. He also arranged for his mom to come down with us to watch the kids ( Thank you so much Jeri, we couldn't have had so much fun without you). And thanks to his aunt Linda and Uncle Gordy for letting us stay in their St. George home. It was the best birthday ever. You are the BEST husband ever and I love you very very much.

GO COUGARS!!!!!!

All my life I have been a BYU cougar fan. I grew up going to games, watching games etc... Then I married a Man who loves BYU just as much or more than I do. In fact he graduated from University of Utah and to his graduation he wore his BYU Tie. I told him he was crazy, but it was a hit. What can we say we are blue all the way through. So naturally my kids are being exposed to BYU. We couldn't resist having them have matching shirts for all the game days. Here is a photo shoot if my BYU Kids.

Picture Tag

I got this tag from a few different people, so I decided I better do it. Here are the rules: you have to take 10 pictures of the following items RIGHT NOW. NO STRAIGHTENING, NO CLEANING, NO WIPING YOUR KIDS FACES, NOTHING, BE HONEST. I got this tag right before I went to bed so all the pictures were taken last night. It's a good thing because if you saw what I looked like right now you would die. Anyway here we go. Don't judge me to harshly.

This is what my kids were doing. Parker was just following me around, watching me take pictures

Here is a self portrait of me!!! Boy do I look tired!!!!

Here is my lovely laundry room. Don't mind the mess

Here is my favorite room!!!

Here is my messy messy closet.

I was supposed to post a picture of my favorite shoes, Well I have a ton of shoes and I have a ton of favorites. But the shoes I wear the most right now are these

Here is my messy sink. I guess I better do the dishes today.

And last but not least I wish I was on vacation here.

Family Reunion and our Labor Day outing!!

This past Saturday we had our White Family reunion. Every year, the Saturday before Labor day we get together with my dad's side of the family. We go to the stake park and have treasure hunts, pinatas, horse shoe contest, Volley ball , softball and then to my parents neighbors to swim. We have fun eating and hanging out. This is the one time each year I see all of my cousins and aunts and uncles. It is such a great time. Here are a few pictures of our reunion.

On Labor day we decided to take Parker bowling, but when we got to the bowling alley it was and hour and a half wait. We then decided to try miniature golfing. We had such a good time. Parker loved it and he did really good for only being 2. Here are a few pictures of our day.
