Alicia's T.V. Fav's ...

Here come the Newlyweds- i'm voting for the mormon couple to win. It is funny watching the couple do different things. Steve and I laughed alot last week. Do you remember when you were a newlywed? SEE ABOVE..http://abc.go.com/video/

I miss my "Grey's" and the new shows on "House".

NCIS - I have a secret t.v. crush on "Tony" one of the NCIS agents. I watched this show for 2 weeks straight with my mom and Ron, while I was home resting after having Henry. They even had a NCIS marathon... oh la la. :) I love my honey Steve but this NCIS agent could protect me any day. ;)ha ha

O.k. So I also just started watching:

What are your favorite shows???? Give me some good ones to watch!

1 month old -

Hunter giving baby brother the low down on all the toys on this swing.. as you can see Henry isn't to excited about it... he fell asleep on him. Hunter just loves his baby brother.


Steve and I can't belive that Henry is already 1 month old. Now weighing 11pd and 5 oun. Where has the time gone. I feel like it was just yesterday that I was going to the hospital. During the month mommy and daddy have loved and adored our sweet baby boy. We were talking about the sweet things he does. When he wakes up he grunts alot... doesn't really cry when he is hungry just grunts.. like O.K. mommy i'm ready. He is a big snuggler, loves to sleep and rest on your chest. When he yawns his whole face turns red and then he yells right the end like he is telling us man that hurt. He puckers up his lips when he is looking at you like he is thinking really hard and say ohhh. Henry is really an easy baby. when he is awake he is mover... is always moving it is funny. He is a very busy baby. He only fusses when he has gas... but them who wouldn't right? Hunter just adores him, hugs, kisses and always wants to comfort him if he does cry. What a blessing this sweet baby is to our family. He is so beautiful. We also noticed that he sleeps with one or both arms up JUST LIKE DADDY AND HUNTER.

Mommy and Hunter Morning Out

Hunter and Mommy had a fun day out playing putt putt golf. This is the first time Hunter has ever played and he LOVED it. On one of the holes he got a hole in one, I think mommy was more excited then him. Hunter would hit the ball like he was play shuffle board it was so cute. We had a great morning out together.

Kicked Out

This is mommy and daddy's KING bed and you see who took over it.... :) Talk about a BUSY night in the white house. Steve got kicked out of the bed by the boys and mommy slept at the end of the bed sideways. I just had to smile as I took this picture. Henry would only fall asleep beside me in bed, and it is all about survival some nights so how ever he fell asleep is great. Then Hunter came in at 2:30and said he needed mommy. He doesn't come in very often so up he went into the bed. Finally as I started to go back to sleep the only comfortable place was at the end of the bed.. I felt like the family puppy dog. Steve came back in at 5:30 and was just laughing. I just have to say... I love being with my family. It makes me so happy to look at them. Especially when i'm sideways at the END of the bed. LOL

Congrats Emily and Eli on a new baby boy!

We are so excited for Emily and Eli. They welcomed a beautiful baby boy "Braxton Josue Nunez" weighing in at 8lb 14 oz and 21 inches long to there family on Thursday. They are all doing great.

Hunter and Henry's Hightlights....

This is Alicia's doctor.. he was awesome the whole pregnancy, such a wonderful doctor and man. It was a great experience and neat for him to finally meet Henry. All 9pd 2 oun of him... what a big boy.




Steve and Alicia have mastered sleeping anywhere but our bed, standing, sitting in a chair... wow, our little Henry has his nights and days mixed up. This was a 3am pajamma party.... :). Henry thinks it is funny to pee on mommy and daddy each changing. So we go thru lots of PJ's some nights.


Hunter was so sweet one afternoon he came in and told mommy that he had a surprise for him... of course Alicia closed her eyes and then was presented with "ta-da flowers" the roots and all. This is what makes being a mom the best. I loved it! Dirt, roots and a smile! I have the sweetest boy!
Henry holding up his head at....
2 weeks... crazy huh! He is ready to take on the world.. he is checking things out.
Ahhhh Asleep... in the middle of the DAY!! What a sweet boy.


Hunter found a turtle in our yard and was so curious. Good thing the turtle hid in its shell. Daddy taught him all about the turtle.
Alicia had the best mothers day EVER! Hunter brought her homemade ediable flowers from church and also made her a book all about himself at joyschool. It was the best gift ever!!! It was so special and it meant so much I just cried as I read it. Mothers day was 2 days after I came home from the hospital delivering a beautiful baby boy. Wow I have been so blessed. What an amazing mothers day!


Hunter had lots of fun with Mrs. Amanda and Mr. Lewis while mommy, daddy and Henry where int he hospital. Hunter loved to ride the neighbors horse. We are so blessed to have such great friends. Thanks Lewis and Amanda!!!
Wrestling with Uncle Mike is always fun.

Hanging with Henry

Henry has had lots of visitors this week, he is so loved by so many. Alicia's mom and her husband Ron came into town for 2 weeks and have helped out so much. Steve and Alicia are so appreciative of all the help they have been, driving Hunter to school, Henry to the doctor appts, cleaning, cooking, just doing about anything that needs to be done. It has been so great to have Alicia's mom especially, there is just something special about having a mom with you when you have a new baby. It has been a great experence and Hunter has loved having them around to play with him while mommy takes a nap. It has been wonderful having "Grandma and Papa" in our home and can't thank them eneough for all they have done, we love you!!


















Sunday the "Orlando" Whites came to meet little Henry. Hunter had lots of fun with his cousins Grace and Gavin. Hunter just adores Grace and they always have tons of laughs and fun when they get together. Gavin had fun dressing up like a construction man. Henry loved snuggling up to Aunt Ashlea and of course it is not a family get together with out the "famous" horse ride from Uncle Randy! We had a great time visiting.

HENRY STEPHEN WHITE

Our lives have been changed greatly with the blessing of our 2nd son Henry Stephen White. He was born Wednesday at 8:21 am. Henry weighed 9lbs 2 oun 20 in long. He was a big boy! The c-section went well and we could not be happier. Beverly Wonders was the on call nurse for Henry and she held my hand during preparations it was so wonderful and comforting to have a friend in delivery when Steve wasn't in the room yet...and then taking care of my precious son, thanks Beverly. It was so neat to have our special friends Regi and Dylan deliver there 2nd son also on the same day. We also had so many sweet friends come visit us. We got to see the Da Costa's lots and have visits from many special friends. We feel so loved and have so many wonderful people in our lives. Lauren kept Hunter for us for 2 nights and days and we are so appreciative of there family, he fit right in. Lacy was a life saver one night when I needed a huge back rub MAJOR & milkshake... thanks ladies for all you did. Hunter adores his baby brother, he goes around the house now looking for him. He keeps saying "ah he is so cute mommy". At first he was more excited about the monster truck his baby brother got him but now he is all about where is my baby. It has been a smooth transition and we are so happy with our new little family. Here are some pics of the delivery and so on. Thanks to all those that came and visited, brought us goodies and sweet comfort. We love you all and are excited to raise a new baby boy. (we were so shocked how much he looked like Hunter... he is the clone of him) We are so excited and just fell in love with him first sight. The lord has blessed our family greatly and were are so humbled to know that this precious child has been put into our care. We just love our little Henry so much.. enjoy the pictures.

Baby BELLY, Can it really stretch ANY more!!

Now this is a baby belly!!! I'm 38-1/2 weeks and my doctor said I was measuring at 41 weeks. NICE!! Then a lady in the lobby asked me if I was having 2 babies. I just had to laugh and told her no.. just one big guy. They estimate my little Henry Carter to be 8lbs 6 oun right now. Steve and I are eager to find out how big he is and meet this sweet guy. All I have to say is thank goodness for c-sections... wow! Soon.... we will keep you posted.

Hunter loves giving his baby brother "Henry" (that is the name he reminds me of ALL day long) kisses and sings twinkle twinkle little star to him.

Build a Bear for baby brother

We went as a family to Build a Bear and Hunter built his own special bear for his baby brother. He sang twinkle twinkle little star and told his baby brother he loved him. So everytime baby brother pushes the button there is it.. a sweet message from Hunter. It was really cute Hunter kissed the heart made a wish and put it in the bear then gave it bath and picked out his very own outfit. It was a cute bear(even if it was in a FSU shirt). :)

Hunter is excited to meet his little bro.

Having a blast in the box

Thanks to all my girlfriends for making it possible for us to get a new baby carseat. I used my money gifts for the carseat and stroller. We love it!! Thanks again you guys are wonderful!

Hunter was more interested in the box that the new babies car seat came in than the car seat.

We told him last night that we were going to bring baby brother home in the car seat and that he would be here with us in our family forever... and it was so funny to hear Hunter say FOREVER!! Hunter is getting use to the idea of a new baby around... Lets just see how he does when he is really here. I think we are going to go ahead and put the carseat in the car so he can see it and get use to it.

Hunter was having a blast in the box!

Are you kidding me!!!

I just have to laugh sometimes and think the Lord really has a sense of humor. Only 11 days till we deliver a new baby boy and the washing machine breaks. Things were going way to smoothly in the White house... LOL :)
Who has time or money for a new washing machine, Right!? Last night I was sitting in the living room and this loud noise was coming from the garage, when I went to see, it looked like the washing machine was going to walk right out of the garage.... needless to say... full of water and with Hunter's clothes in it.. it went straight to washing machine heaven... It served us for many many great years....So off to lowes we go to get a new one!!

Lessons learned one day at a time

I have been reading this book and I LOVE IT! I'm only half way thru it and I have practiced the concepts in my home with Steve, Hunter and me and they really work. Below is some info on the book. I'm not a huge book reader so when I find something I like I just had to pass it on. Hugs to all you special moms out there!

Synopsis
Dr. Sal Severe maintains that "children learn what they live -- your children do as you do." Based on Dr. Severe's more than twenty years of experience as a school psychologist and parenting workshop leader, How to Behave So Your Children Will, Too! shows why a child's behavior is often a reflection of the parents' behavior, and how, by making changes themselves, parents can achieve dramatic results in their children.

Instead of focusing on what children do wrong, this book teaches you what you can do right, by emphasizing the positive (reinforcing good behavior instead of criticizing your child), by being consistent (not giving in to misbehavior just to placate your child), and by being more patient, recognizing that children often operate on a different time schedule. It teaches you how to teach your children to behave, to listen -- the first time -- and to be more cooperative. It shows you how to manage your anger and how to prevent arguments and power struggles.

Dr. Severe also provides concrete strategies for dealing with common problems: solving homework hassles, ending tantrums (especially in public places), avoiding the temptation to give in to your child when you're exhausted, creating reasonable rules for every age, and making sure to take time for children even when you and your spouse are working full time. These methods are well tested, and are inspired by stories and ideas that Dr. Severe has gleaned from parents in his workshops over many years.

Originally self-published, this book has already helped hundreds of thousands of parents to make discipline simpler and their lives easier. It will help you, too. As a successful parent, you will teach your children important life skills -- and you will enjoy your children all the more.
