Hi all,

I forget most of the time that a lot of family and friends don’t have a FaceBook account and can’t see all my uploaded pictures there! For those of you that do – this is a repeat! We were fortunate enough to be able to buy a new van to fit our still growing family! Last week we purchased a 2010  Honda Odyssey EX and absolutely love it.  It came in very handy as my sister, my nephew and my niece were here to visit for a week and we had just sold our Hyundai Sonata – so we were down to one 5 passenger vehicle and a husband that had to work some days until 11pm and some days until 7 am!!

We also were blessed with a salesperson that attends our church and is a believer which made the business end a lot less scary! We got a great  deal too!  I spent months pouring over consumer reports, edmunds.com, and any information website on all different mini vans.  Ian and I were sold on the Honda from the time we got in it and are very glad to have a reliable van that will last a long time!  Here are some pictures!

Love
Whit

Hi all,

Sorry it’s been so long since I have written! It’s been a hectic and crazy summer with no time or energy to post! Blame FaceBook!  Here is a post of all the random photos from the beginning of June until the beginning of August! Miss and love you all

Whitney

First we start back at the beginning of summer with strawberry picking – I am forever sold on home grown strawberries..they even look cute!

IMG_5570IMG_5579

The next pic is of us strolling to the playground with all the kids squeezed into the stroller – in the 2nd picture Chloe is on a slide with Hannah (I think my little Mae-Mae looks scared) – don’t worry we didn’t actually let her slide down with Chloe!

IMG_5580IMG_5585

The next one is just a cute one of Hannah after I took the braids out of her hair!

IMG_5591

Here is Ian after he graduated! Yay!

IMG_5646

Here is Chloe eating her foot – she liked to do this for a long time (until she discovered the exer-saucer)!

IMG_5661

The next several pic.s are of our Ohio trip to see Ian’s family! The first one is of Hannah and Dale on Uncle AK’s Rhino! She loved it!!

IMG_5680

One of her favorite people of all time is her cousin, Bella, who went with us and the rest of the girls in the family to the Pittsburgh Zoo!  There’s a  couple of Hannah and Bell!  We had a great day! One of the best days we spent there! Here’s a picture of the group as well!

IMG_5688IMG_5698IMG_5707

While we were in Ohio we celebrated our 10 year anniversary! I can’t believe we have been together that long, although with now another one on the way I guess it should feel like 10 years! :) He’s the love of my life!

IMG_5708

During the summer Hannah also took part in her first ballet/tap class – She LOVED it and has decided to do dance this year instead of gymnastics! Here are a few pictures of her in the gear doing some “ballerina sings” (things)!

IMG_5711IMG_5712IMG_5717

Hannah also had to have surgery this summer on her tonsils and adnenoids – here is her wonderful nurse and Hannah the day after her surgery! Trust me, she may look happy and fine but man was that not a pleasant week!

IMG_5720

Here are some random pictures of the babies – notice how happy Jack is – it’s great when he is not mad he is always this happy! Poor guy is going to wind up like his mommy – sorry Jack-a-roni!

IMG_5732IMG_5742IMG_5747

This is how Chloe likes to swing – she has decided she doesn’t want to swing anymore and when you put her in the swing she tries to see how fast she can turn upside down! Thanks Mae-Mae that’s all your mommy needs – one less spot where she can plop you!

IMG_5760

Just a couple weeks ago we had our dear Colorado friends, Michelle and daughter Kailyn, in town!  We went a ton of places, most of which I didn’t have any free hands to take pictures (we went out with 4 under 4 most days) but I did manage to snap some and here they are:

IMG_5785IMG_5788IMG_5792IMG_5805IMG_5839IMG_5845IMG_5906

Here are the girls dressed up as princesses! 

IMG_5935

We took them to Skate City and by the pictures you would think Hannah had a good time, but she said the skates hurt her feet and was a pretty big party pooper while we  were there!  But of course, like any 3 year old she talks about it non stop and asks to go back often!

IMG_5940IMG_5952IMG_5954

Here is one of all the kids in the new triple stroller we got at our church’s garage sale!! :) Thanks Bob and Karen for thinking of us first!

IMG_5982

Also while Kailyn was visiting the girls took swimming lessons everyday at 6pm! Hannah was not at all enthused about doing actual lessons in water that was up to her chin but she did okay! We took swim lessons again, this time in the morning, and she is doing WONDERFUL! She’s like a different child in the water this time! She even begged to go down the big kid slide (purple – you can see how big it is in one of the pictures!)  She was the only one in class to do it and Ian got an awesome shot of her coming out of the slide! So the last few pictures are of Jack and Hannah at the pool – make sure to check out the last one!

Hope you enjoy!
Love,

Whitney

Hi all,

As most of you found out through phone calls or facebook – we are expecting again!   Baby #4 is due on Feb. 13th 2010 and we had an ultrasound done to confirm dates!!  As one of my friends said, all babies are planned – maybe not by me or Ian but God has given us a very unexpected and shocking miracle.  After all the years going through medical intervention to conceive each of our blessings to be given one without human help is wonderful and exciting!  

We wanted to make sure there was only one and that everything was where it should be – and everything looks great! Baby 4 already had a heartbeat and was looking funny and small as they all do!

 

Here is our proof as we were and continue to be in disbelief!!
Love  you all,

Whitney

Hi all,

Just a couple of pic.s of my new haircut….and some of the kids of course!!

 

IMG_5561IMG_5562IMG_5556IMG_5560

I had to post a few more pictures…I know I have done a lot in the last several days….

When one of my most dear friends, Michelle, came to visit at the end of April 2008 we went to the Children’s Museum – this week I went with my neighbor to the same place and managed to get a picture exactly where we got one in 08 with Michelle…Check out how much she has grown!!

IMG_2246IMG_5548

 

and of course, how could I not post one of each of my little bitty babies!

IMG_5543IMG_5552_2

Hi all,

Just another post full of pictures from the last month or so! We have a lot of funny pictures thanks to Dad, and some sweet pictures as well…I will explain as we go!

The next three photos are Jack – in one of my favorite outfits – trying to sit up by himself, I love that he is laughing as he falls over!! What a boy!

IMG_5322IMG_5323IMG_5324

Ian decided Chloe needed to wear her tights on her head instead of her leggies!

IMG_5328

Hannah is such a great big sister – she always loves the babies, kisses them, talks to them, and now likes to help feed them too (for about two minutes)!

IMG_5345

These next 5 pictures of the twins are on their 4 month birthday! (May 6, 2009) They love their Bumbo seats!  There’s one of Ian with both the babies and then a couple of Chloe – the first one is how she was looking at the TV and I thought it was a very funny face! :)

IMG_5348IMG_5349IMG_5367IMG_5372IMG_5376

Now, I know that I had one baby before and she never ran true to the sizes they put on tags – but this is just sad!! Chloe is almost 5 months old and these shorts in the next picture are tiny little 0-3 month Gap shorts – but sigh, she definitely couldn’t wear them!

IMG_5378

Here is my smiley happy Jack! He is SO STINKING CUTE!

IMG_5380

I love this picture because Chloe still looks at him like he is crazy when he rolls all over the place! :)

IMG_5388

They are trying to eat the picture of the monkey on the play mat!

IMG_5391

Just a couple more smiley baby pictures!

IMG_5403IMG_5405

I just love her funny faces!! I could just nibble her up! 

IMG_5406

Love this face….hmmm reminds of someone, oh yes – my dad – I don’t know why?? :)

IMG_5409

What a nerdy girl! :)

IMG_5410

I think this picture is so cute of my little Hannah Bean!

IMG_5413

Again, Daddy at work! This time a burp cloth is on her head – looks a little “nun”ish!

IMG_5441

I had to put this next series of shots up – I absolutely melt when he gives his frowny faces – they are so pitiful!! 

IMG_5445IMG_5446IMG_5447IMG_5449

He found his feet! Hooray! Chloe says she sees hers but thinks feet are stinky – she’s much to much of a lady to play with her feet!

IMG_5451

I think she is the most beautiful little baby girl – I love this picture – shows off her complexion and what she and her brother are doing most of the day (chewing on their hands)!

IMG_5454

Gotta love Gymboree!

IMG_5465

Helping me cook dinner!

IMG_5470

Her shy smiley face!! She is the most mellow and happy baby born ever!!!

IMG_5481

 

Gotta run for now – bottles to make, babies to feed, and dinner to cook!

Love,

Whitney

Hi all,

Just wanted to post some misc. pictures! Hannah had her open house night a couple weeks ago for  gymnastics and I wanted to post  the silly picture of her as she ran across the floor to pose, yell her name, and get her medal!  I also posted a couple pictures of the most fabulous and loving people we know with Hannah  - Betty and Irvin! They are beautiful always inside and out and I think I got two wonderful pictures of them with Hannah!

 

IMG_5495IMG_5498IMG_5499

Betty always knows the best gifts to give Hannah – we LOVE glitter (aka Sprinkles)!

 IMG_5500

Here are a couple baby pictures! I bought the greatest hat for Chloe – she has to be fashionable – her first couture accessory!

IMG_5521IMG_5528IMG_5529IMG_5531IMG_5532IMG_5536

Here is one of the twins together on the play yard!

IMG_5539

Here is one of my fav.s of Jack – aka Fuzzy Little Man Peach

IMG_5509

Me and my babies at bed time (it’s become a nightly ritual to all pile on Mom and read 3-4 books)!

IMG_5512

Blessings,
Whitney 

Hi all,

Just thought I would try and upload three videos of the babies! I  have one of Jack laughing and one of Chloe laughing several weeks ago and then one I took today of Jack being a crazy roly-poly – Now he rolls right off whatever mat he is on!

Enjoy,

Whitney

Here are lots of random “in house” pictures!  They are from the end of March until earlier this week – we’ve been stuck inside for a LONG time!

Princess Hannah with her “little Chloe Mae Mae”!

img_5091

Just playing on the floor before we got dressed for the day!

img_5104

I think these two pictures of Chloe are adorable – she has a “I’m gonna cry” face in the first one, and a very worried look in the second!

img_5106img_5108

Punk rocker Jack – need I say more?

img_5110

Hannah eating her first alphabet soup – we had more fun spelling with the letters than eating them! :) Food is learning!

img_51033

Here are some pictures of the letters “E e”, “P”, “F”, “L”, and a “Q” for good measure.  Also, her first heart and her favorite thing to draw these days – trees and forest!

img_51151img_5116img_5119

Dad and Chloe having a laugh

img_51522

What looks like a “What?” expression on Chloe’s face!

img_5155

The twins before they head off for a nap! Our little tadpoles (that’s what they look like when they are swaddled)!

img_5159

Chloe fresh and squeaky clean!

img_5293

These three think my bed should be their bed – I think not! :)

img_5298

 

I think that is all for today – scroll down quite a bit to get to all the posts I have put up today!!

Love y’all,
Whit

Here are a couple pictures of the babies before we left for church!!!  We all wore denim and it was pretty cute!! I just love Jacks vest!
