I have had the itch to change up the guest bathroom from Sunflowers to something more for a boy & a guest- so here is the transformation! I love it!

I did all the painting myself while Steve watched Hunter.... man it was hard work tapeing, painting, cleaning up ... getting the high cracks... but it was worth it. Steve likes the bathroom (YEAH) and I love it also. Merry Christmas to me... This was my early christmas present from Steve.

Thanksgiving Fun with Family

North Carolina Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving... we spent it in beautiful North Carolina.

Papa Tom, Steve, Hunter and I drove leaving Gainesville at 6:30 in the morning.... The traffic wasn't bad at all it was a beautiful drive, the leaves changing, sunny skies and good company.. we hit a couple places to eat (DairyQueen seemed to be the dessert place of choice, Steve and My dad had a ongoing joke about it.)
The best was Hunter did amazing, he enjoyed having papa Tom in the back seat with him 9 hours is a long time for a 2 yr old.
We spent Tuesday till Friday there and loved it... visited with my sister Bethany's family (blackwelders) there inlaws and family. We stayed with my mom and Ron which was nice we got to visit and catch up on things. Hunter enjoyed our visit to see his great-grandparents Maxwell.. Hunter laughed a ton at the toys that they had. We went on a mini hike and saw some water falls and I also went shopping on BLACK FRIDAY!!! I must have been crazy I have never seen so many people and cars in one place. IT WAS WILD!! Bethany, her mother-in-law, baby Logan and me all went.. we got up at 4 oh yeah 4am! Out the door at 5AM... craziness I tell ya!!! But it was worth it we got some great deals.

The greatest deal ever was to hold my precious nephew. Logan was 5 weeks old and so adorable and what a gift he is. I just loved holding him, smelling his sweet head, the way he cuddled up close to my heart and slept so sound in my arms. That was my highlight of the trip. I felt so close to the lord when I held him in my arms. Neil was able to bless him while some of the men family members where there for Thanksgiving what a neat experience.

We all have so much to be thankful for it was a great and special thanksgiving for our family. The company was great, food was yummy and we left with a full tummy. Thanks Grandma Heather & Papa Ron for Hosting it at your home.

Hunter also loved to see his Papa's in the same room... he kept saying 2 Papa's it was so sweet. Hunter is a blessed little boy to have so many papa's 2 on earth and 1 watching him from heaven!

We truly are a blessed family! We hope you all had just as much of a blessed Thanksgiving as us.

Celebrating my 33rd birthday

A true FRIEND
WARMS you with her presence..
TRUSTS you with her secets..
and REMEMBERS you in her prayers..

Alicia's Girlfriends! They are my strength, Inspiration,roadmap to motherhood, and gift from god!

We shared so much laughter
And bear each others tears

God put us together
to be sister by heart

Our Daughter Haley went to heaven the day she was born. We love her so much & miss her greatly yet know she is watching over her family... especially her little brother Hunter. Happy Birthday Haley, 4 yrs old and absolutly perfect.

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
Wear the pain like a heavy coat
I feel you everywhere I go
I see your smile, I see your face
I hear your laugh' in the rain
I still can't believe you're gone

Would you see the world
Would you chase your dreams
Settle down with a family
I wonder what would you name your babies
Somedays the sky's so blue
I feel like I can talk to you
And I know it might sound crazy

It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I've been through
Just knowing, no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder, who you'd be today

Today, Today, Today...
Today, Today, Today...

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
The only thing that gives me hope
Is I know, I'll see you again someday

Someday, Someday...

(Kenny Chesney) what a great song!

Gator Homecoming!!! Go Gators!

Me and Hunter went to the Parade on Friday with some of our friends. I took pics of Hunter's favorite floats... I bet you can guess what they would be... TRACTORS! ONES WITH BALLOONS! FIRETRUCKS!!! Oh yeah! Hunter had a great time with all the firetrucks came by and the HUGE LIMO! Hunter was so excited when he saw the "COW" he gave him a thumbs up and five.

My amazing family

I would have to say I feel so blessed. I'm a mother, friend, sister, daughter and I have such an amazing husband. He is my best friend, support, lover and a great father for our child. He makes me laugh and makes me feel so complete in life. My family lives in Archer Florida. We have lived her for 4-1/2 years. We love living in the country, having friends and family over and lots of space to enjoy our fun family times. The lord has blessed me with so much and as I do this blog I just smile at all of my great blessings. ENJOY!!!!

My husband Steve is a independent car dealer and loves his job. He is a very hard worker and also loves to play hard. Steve enjoys spending time with his family, FSU Football, Hunting, Fishing & 4-wheeling.

My other great joy in my life is my adorable son Hunter. He is 2 and gives me a run for my money. Hunter loves to be outside, playing with his mommy and daddy. Reading books, playing with our dogs, riding the 4-wheeler. Hunter is a gift from God and is being watched over from heaven by his big sister, Haley. Hunter is such a happy child full of energy and laughter.

Our newest addition to our family has been 2 redbone coonhounds. They were born in July and it has been fun watching them grow, explore the yard (and get out of the gate, eat my plants and shoes) Really we love them!!!

I'm excited to do this site to keep all of family and families updated and joining in our fun times. Welcome! Love the Whites!
