It's almost time...

Jason and I pre-registered at the hospital where our little boy will be born. Walking through all the hallways reminded us of both of the girls births and how much they have grown from the day they entered the world. The time we have had with our girls has been the best days of our lives and we are so excited to experience once more. 3 more weeks and we will get to meet our little man! His room is ready, his adorable clothes are washed and hung up in his closet, lots of tiny newborn diapers are packed under the changing table, and our hospital bag is ready to go. We are ready to be a family of 5 and love him the moment he enters into our lives. I am cherishing the moments of being pregnant for a few more days with our little Holton Peter White.

Easter 2015

He is Risen and we are forever grateful! Laylie and Rael woke up early Easter morning, snuggling Jason and I in our big bed. I handed them their first plastic egg which started their annual Easter scavenger hunt to find their Easter baskets. The girls ran around the whole house from clue to clue and at the end of the scavenger hunt screams of joy and happiness came from their little bodies when they saw that they had reached the prize.

 Later, we sat together and read from the Bible about Jesus' resurrection and opened up each resurrection egg that the girls knew by heart. We sat there thanking Him for giving us this day to remember His great and mighty love for us. 

We had a full day in store with tons of Easter fun including a birthday celebration for cousin Dugan and an engagement party for Tim and Lindsay. We gathered at our family's houses where we ate delicious food, spent time with family, and hid eggs for the kids to find. To end the day in a wonderful way - we surprised Tim and Lindsay with an engagement party! Our whole family is thrilled to have Lindsay be officially a part of our crazy big family and we can't wait to watch their lives unfold together. It was a fully packed delightful Easter we must say. We are excited to be thinking about what next year will bring with even more fun because we will have a little boy to run around with on Easter 2016.

HAPPY EASTER!!!

Holton's Baby Shower

This past Saturday I was extremely blessed and loved on by all my close friends and family as they showered our little boy with so much love and thoughtfulness. My sister Lisa and two of my very special friends Kelly and Sierra threw me the most amazing baby shower with the cutest detailed decorations, beautiful flowers all around the home, and fun baby games. We all had tasty food, yummy drinks, and fancy party favors. Our baby boy was showered with so many gifts that I could not wait to open. It was a perfect day - I will always remember this moment forever. I always feel so over-joyed when the people I love so dearly celebrate a brand new baby that is coming into my life. It means the world to me and I am so grateful for times like these. After the shower, I got home and had fun unwrapping each gift again and placing all of the wonderful things in Holton's nursery. I enjoyed looking at all of the tiny things that had colors that a baby boy would like and daydreaming about this little man coming into our lives so soon. What a Joy!  

 

   

Thank you Lisa, Sierra and Kelly for making this day so special for our baby boy! 

It was such a wonderful shower and Jason and I can't thank you enough for your love.

Spring is Coming...

We have been enjoying the last few weeks hanging out together as a family, going on adventures, learning new things, and having fun.

Jason has been enjoying taking the girls to Home Depot on Saturday mornings where the girls make awesome wood crafts all by themselves. They hammer, paint, glue, and sticker their cool projects with a little help from daddy. It has been one of their highlights that they look forward to at the end of each week. It is always so great to see them so happy with their accomplished work and showing me all that they have created.

Laylie is growing up fast and with that she is losing her teeth. She now has the cutest toothless smile and doesn’t even mind eating a whole apple without them. Her cousin Samuel is right along with her, losing the same teeth at the same time. Too cute!

As always, our two girls are inseparable and can’t live without each other. They continue to have long conversations about life, play for hours together, and always look out for one another. It really is such a joy to see their special tight sisterly bond.

We are looking forward to this beautiful Spring and Summer that is coming our way!
