Happy Thanksgiving from the White Family!!

Our family is headed to Seaside Florida near Destin... can't wait! We are having a "White Family" Beach Thanksgiving.

We hope you all have a BLESSED Thanksgiving spent with loved ones.

I love surfing the web for great and fun ideas for the holidays!
Here are some I thought were beautiful. Have fun decorating and getting ready for your special Thanksgiving.

Happy Birthday Haley

Haley's little bro's brought her some flowers. Then Hunter needed to use the bathroom so we went to the funeral home and as i'm sitting there I couldn't help but start laughing because Hunter was in the bathroom singing "loudly" the FSU Seminole war chant.. Nice huh! Good thing there wasn't anyone there other than the workers. Really, even a funeral home can be happy with laughter and singing of children, leave it to Hunter... ;)
Thankyou everyone for your thoughts, beautiful flowers and chocolate ;). We had a good day thinking of our birthday girl~.




Why did she have to go
So young I just don't know why
Things happen half the time
Without reason without rhyme
Lovely, sweet young woman
Daughter, wife and mother
Makes no sense to me
I just have to believe

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me

Loved ones she left behind
Just trying to survive
And understand the why
Feeling so lost inside
Anger shot straight at God
Then asking for His love
Empty with disbelief
Just hoping that maybe

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me

It's hard to say goodbye
Her picture in my mind
They'll always be of times I'll cherish
And I won't cry 'cause

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
Don't worry 'bout me
Don't worry 'bout me

(Alan Jackson - sissy's song)

Hunter's first time bowling/Veterans Day

Veterans day out with the mom's and kids. We sure our greatful to live in this free country and are greatful to the service men and woman and their families that serve this country.

Monkey See
Monkey Do...
Hunter and Gordon found other entertainment once the bowling game was over...
I love watching these two grow up together.


Snack time! Who gets the last fry...
Henry's 2nd mom! They even coordinated dressing for Veterans Day. Henry loves Mrs. Lauren and I think she adores him almost as much as I do...




Hunter's got the Bowling pose Hunter and Joseph got so excited .. even if the pins didn't get knocked down.. they were SOOO happy. Ahhhh to be a kid and have so much joy!

Kids say the funniest things..

O.k. So Grace Hunter's cousin came up to Uncle Steve and said " Do you know that Hunter lost his middle tooth"... because Hunter has a GAP she thought he lost his tooth... Steve said he tried so hard not to laugh,,,,


















Hunter and Grace are best buddies and when ever they get together they have so much fun... Hunter has no problem finding his sensitive side,,, pink is a good color on him!!

6 yrs old....

Saturday I went to the park with my boys, and as I was sitting there a lady with 2 kids about the same age of my boys sat beside me in the shade, the park was packed yet we seemed to just carry on a conversation like it was us. Laughing and talking about each others lives and what are kids do. We talked about deliveries and after I said "having 3 c-sections". It is just so natural for me to say 3 so a few minutes later she asked me if I had another child. At that moment I shared with a perfect stranger about my sweet baby girl! I got a little chocked up as I said... She would turn 6yrs old on November 20th. Six yrs old on Friday.. this Friday... I just realized I should be getting ready for a big princess party.. would that be what she would like? Instead I guess we will just wake up and say Happy Birthday Haley and celebrate the fact that our Heavenly Father has created a plan for us to have her again one day.

I can remember the day she was born so clearly, and I just cry... I miss her so much. I remember kissing her little nose, and seeing her feet... boy did she have big feet for a small 6pd 6oz 20 in. baby, those sweet baby feet gave me lots of big kicks! When I look at my boys as babies they remind me of her and her beautiful face. Her beautiful brown hair and perfect fingers and toes.

Someone told me the other day "it's o.k.", but is it really. Some days I have to say no it isn't, and I get a little mad, frustated and sad. I miss her so dearly! I miss the unknown, I miss not being able to laugh with her, hold her, put her in time out, take beautiful pictures of her with her brothers. I want her with me, BUT I know it will be o.k.! We as a family are o.k. and we know that one day it will be a great reunion. I heard the song "when I get where i'm going" and it made me think about her.

But when I get where I'm going,
and I see my Maker's face.
I'll stand forever in the light,
of His amazing grace.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
I will love and have no fear.
When I get where I'm going.
Yeah when I get where I'm going.

I'm gonna walk with my grandaddy,
and he'll match me step for step,
and I'll tell him how I missed him,
every minute since he left.
Then I'll hug his neck.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
Don't cry for me down here.

This song just made me think about all those that have passed to the other side with our heavenly Father, they are good, they are with family and friends. It doesn't make the "human heart" hurt go away but it sure gives us peace that they are not alone.

I remember one song that I loved by Alan Jackson.. it was a christmas song that I listened to the whole month of November when I was prego, I would dance and sing and she would move ... I use to listen to this song all day.. It is called "Let it be christmas". I don't know why I just loved that song, It is just special and now it is that time again for christmas and I pulled out that cd cried a little, then just smiled with peace that I have a 6yr old wow, I have a PERFECT 6 yr old, who is with her Heavenly Father and Papa Robert and many others that love her just about as much as we do.

So today, we will remember the special memory that we DID have in the hospital with her, sweet kisses on her nose and wish our beautiful angel baby Haley "Happy Birthday".
