Going to Try again

I think I might try to blog again! Not sure if anyone out there is interested still or not but I was looking thru the old pictures of the kids and it made me sad to see them so little. Elias is 10, Jonah is 8, Anna will be 6 in just a few weeks, and Elizabeth is 4. Boy how time has gone by quickly!

Silly White kids

(this picture is from the fall I just love it!)

Sometimes what frustrates you most about your kids in the moment makes you love them the most when you are thinking back to what they do best! I think my kids silliness is one of those things. In the moment I think I am going crazy but when I reflect back or look at pictures of them, I fall in love with them because of their silliness. I have had people ask me alot recently about what it's like to have four kids, or if I woul recommend it to others. Some days I would say..."don't do it"...like on nights like tonight when we went out to celebrate Dan's birthday and noone would stay in their seat at the table or they were fighting over the ketchup bottle. But then when I come home and think about all of the things that we have and about our kids I feel blessed that the Lord thought we were capable enough to handle them. I love my kids more than I ever thought a person could love someone. My love for Dan grows as we parent together and my love for them grows as we see their personalities unfold with each passing day. So I love my silly kiddos, and am thankful for them even if they make me crazy!
These pictures are a few from the summer of us just being together! I will post pictures of the first day of school soon!

Keira & Auntie

This is my sweet neice, Keira Marie! This picture is from Easter, but I just love her sweet little face, so I had to share this picture.

So Happy Together

Dan & I celebrated our 10 year anniversary this summer! We went on a cruise with some wonderful friends. We had a great time! I love this man with all my heart and am so happy to be his wife. Thank you Lord for bringing us together!

Proudest Moment

So one of the proudest moments of us as parents is for our child to give their life to the Lord. Elias has been asking us and talking to us for several years about getting baptized. He has an amazing memory and knowledge of God's word. So as we have been talking these past few weeks about what it means that to be baptized and what it means to have sin in our lives and what the sacrifice of our Savior means, I was so proud of his responses. So this past Sunday, Feburary 14, 2010 our sweet oldest son Elias Edward White, gave his life to the Lord! I couldn't hae been more proud of his decision and confindence!

Here he is with Dan telling everyone that he was ready!

An extremely proud Dad! It was amazing to see these two men that I am so proud of to be doing this great thing.

Elias, I am so proud of you. You are a sweet boy with a love for your family, people and the Lord that shines so brightly. I pray that you grow up to lead many people to the Lord! I love you buddy!!
