THE WHITED FAMILY

Disney World

2010-09-04T06:10:00.001-05:00

Happy Birthday Little Girls! We are heading to Disney World today.

2010-04-20T20:50:00.002-05:00

Wow! I am not good at keeping up the blog... The kids are growing up too fast. We had a blast down at the beach this past weekend but it is back to work. I have to study, study, study. My next CPA exam is in 10 days... I will put some new pictures up soon.

Kate floats! Thanks Tim...

2009-06-04T03:37:00.003-05:00

Wow, We are getting so big!

2009-06-04T03:27:00.004-05:00

Snow!

2009-03-01T13:18:00.005-06:00

It is hard to believe that we went from this...

To this...

The Whited's go to the Circus!

2009-02-02T19:49:00.002-06:00

We decided to take Kate to the circus this year. First of all can we say "MONEY PIT!" $12 for cotton candy and a wizard hat made out of felt and fabric glue. Not to mention the $20 glorified flashlight! They just know that kids will throw a temper tantrum until their parents break down and buy one for them. You could tell though that everyone was ticked off about paying the $20+ for the tickets and didn't want to spend more money because there was maybe on light for every 50 people (normally everyone has one it seems). Luckily for us, Kate was scared when we first went in so she didn't even notice the lights. Anyway she loved the dogs and their tricks and was sad to say goodbye to the "elly-ants." Overall we had a great time. I would show pictures, but somehow I managed to be talked into taking the camera that had dead batteries!

Latest Happenings...

2009-01-15T22:46:00.003-06:00

Well, the last few nights I have been eyeball deep in ancestry.com. For those of you who don't know, on my dad's side we are missing the link for one generation to be able to tie back our family tree all the way to the boat ride over from Holland (although they were originally from Germany). Anyway, if you ever want to try to be a private investigator, working on your family tree is a good challenge. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to stumble upon something from roughly 1810 to tie everthing together.

In addition to that, I started the UAB EatRight program on Tuesday. I am super excited about the whole experience which will continue for the next 12 weeks. So more to come on that...

A Very Elmo Christmas!

2008-12-25T21:48:00.008-06:00

Wow! Have you ever seen so many Elmos when you weren't in Toys R Us? We have Farmer Elmo, Pizza Elmo, Elmo Live, Hokey Pokey Elmo, TMX Elmo and an Elmo pillow (not to mention the 8 Elmo DVDs...)

A big thanks to Santa, Mimi, PawPaw, Nana, Papa and all my aunts, uncles, and cousins who gave me such wonderful gifts this year.

Love,
Kate

Emma had a fussy, but good Christmas, too. Here she is trying out her new tummy time mat.

Our Talk with Santa

2008-11-07T09:47:00.005-06:00

We had our picture made with Santa at Christmas Village. Some of us were happier than others. Hopefully, Santa still got the message that Kate wants Elmo for Christmas.

Boo at the Zoo!

Kate's 2nd Birthday

2008-09-10T21:15:00.003-05:00

Kate's 2nd Birthday was a success!! Thanks to everyone that helped.. Especially thanks to Brandon,Rodney, Paul, and Chuck who helped with the swingset.

Kate goes to the zoo!

2008-08-12T21:20:00.003-05:00

There's a first time for everything. Some pictures from our trip to the zoo last weekend. Kate was a little scared to feed the giraffes.

Family Trip To Atlantis Resort!,Bahamas!! Thanks Mom and Dad!!

Alaska Cruise

2008-07-17T22:05:00.001-05:00

2008-07-17T20:14:00.004-05:00

Wow! We are way behind on the blog... Sorry. I will just tell you, you are much better off checking Gabe's myspace page for updates than getting them here. But I am working to do better.

As you can imagine we have had our own drama for the last several months. I am currently 30 weeks pregnant so finally on the downward slope. Of course I was thinking about when I was at this point with Kate, we already had a nursery that was painted and mostly decorated. Let's just say we do have something for the baby to sleep in and that's about it... Hopefully my better half will make great strides before he leaves me for paradise next week.

To sum things up: we have been to the beach a few times, up to Alaska, and Gabe and Kate will head to the Bahamas next week. She will be quite the world traveler before she is even 2.

We have also put in a pool and enrolled Kate in "aquatic survival lessons" with Infant Swim Resource. Just in case you haven't ever seen this program, I encourage you to check it out http://www.infantswim.com.

Some fairly recent photos...

2007-12-30T12:24:00.000-06:00

Wow this has been a whirlwind over the last few months! We have been through kidney stones, graduation, gallbladder removal and Christmas. Finally things are starting to slow down a little. Hopefully now we are all healthy and can move on with our lives. Christmas was more exciting this year, because Kate was really getting into it. Pictures to follow....

WELL IT ONLY TOOK A MONTH TO POST SOME BIRTHDAY PICS, WE FINALY FOUND SOME TIME TO POST SOME..

Kate's First Birthday

2007-09-11T22:46:00.000-05:00

Despite the chaos leading up to the party related directly to the printer disaster at Portrait Innovations and the near loss of $100 in fruit, Kate's party was a success. Unfortunately with my travelling I forgot some key details until the last minute, but thank goodness for friends! Jenn and my manicurist Kim help me pull off the cutest, yummiest center pieces ever in the history of infant birthdays. Thanks again to everyone that "took orders" from me, I really appreciate all the help. I would post pics from the party but I don't have them yet :( So you will have to go to Jenn and Brandon's blog for now.

In other news, if you are keeping up with my travels you would think I was on my way to Minnesota tomorrow... However, I will be staying in warm sunny Birmingham instead. Just between us, I have had enough airport living to last me a little while anyway.

2007-09-07T23:13:00.000-05:00

WELL SORRY FOR NOT POSTING ANY NEW PICS SOONER..SHARON HAS BEEN OUT OF TOWN THE LAST TWO WEEKS ON BUSINESS.. AS MANY OF YOU KNOW KATE WILL BE 1 YEARS OLD ON SEPTEMBER 8TH... THIS PAST YEAR HAS FLOWN BY.... WE POST PICS NEW PICS SOON...

Kate's First Plane Trip

2007-08-29T15:59:00.000-05:00

Kate had her first plane trip last week. On Wednesday we travelled to Richmond, Va to see our new cousin Braeden. Kate did well on the plane (thank goodness)! We will put some pics up soon.

2007-08-14T22:08:00.000-05:00

One thing my dearest failed to mention was that we do not have our roof up yet either... But I, as project foreman, must take responsibility for that because I have not ordered the remaining supplies. Hopefully we will wrap everything up this weekend, and if not Gabe can finish it up while Kate and I are in Virginia next week.

In other news, Kate started her first day of nursery school today. I was scrambling around trying to get "blue forms" and labeling everything with "Kate"... basically running around like a chicken with my head cut off. But she made it, with her school supplies, and with very few tears so I was glad.

2007-08-12T21:55:00.000-05:00

All we lack is the last 3 rail sections, few deck boards, and the hand rails...

New Deck!!!!!

2007-08-12T21:52:00.000-05:00

Here is our new deck which is almost complete.. I would like to thank everyone who helped build it this past weekend. It should be complete sometime this week.....

At the Beach

2007-07-29T16:59:00.000-05:00

We just spent a few days in Panama City Beach. The weather was great... well hot, but beautiful. Kate enjoyed playing in the sand (quite different than her first sand experience), floating in the ocean and the pool.

And yes that is Kate on Gabe's shoulders way out there.

The New Patio Furniture

Here is our blog, since we have to follow the crowd...

Hopefully this way everyone can keep up with what's going on in our hectic lives. So for now, a few pics.
