ATTENTION!!!! NEW BLOG!!

We want to let everyone know how sorry we are that this has taken so long. We have had so much going on. Between Dan losing his job, starting his own business working from home, and then adopting again, our new baby girl Sydney, then the holidays, needless to say, we have been super busy. Instead of trying to keep up 3 blogs, one for the family, one for Ian, and one for Sydney,...we decided to save time and make it easy, we would create a new blog to serve all purposes. So here is the new blog address and we will be updating the new one from now on. We hope you enjoy! Love to all our family and friends!

Ian and his big Sissy!

Whitley and Ian love to play chase around the house. Whitley is such a great big sissy! Ian is so lucky!

Prom 2009

Well, another Prom has come and gone. Whitley is growing up before our very eyes. While we are talking about Whitley, I just want to express our love and appreciation for her. We have been so blessed to have a daughter like her. She is helpful, kind, sweet, and just a genuinly good girl. We are truly dreading the day when she leaves for college. There will be a large void in our home that we all will feel, especially Ian who loves her so much and looks up to her. We love you so much monkee! That said, here are some beautiful pictures of a sweet little girl, who really isn't so little anymore.

This is her date Joe Packer. They have gone together the last 2 years.

This is the group they went with. From left to right, Whitley, Joe, Richard, Christina, Ashley B., Ashley S., Charlie.

The ice cream truck had just pulled up when we were taking pictures and wanted to see Whitley.

Whitley looks so beautiful!

Sissy plays with me all the time!

Whitley is always playing wih Ian. She can get him to laugh like noone else can. They are so fun to watch together.












This is "The Bee", as so demonstrated on Grampa Haws' children and Grand-children and Whitley is now passing it on to Ian.

Whitley turns 17!

I can't believe that she's 17! One more year and she's off to college. It's scary for us as parents! This is the family birthday party at our house, we had Dan's family over. She really didn't do anything with friends because she has been so busy.

Ian and Whitley playing...

Whitley loves to play with Ian and she is good with him. They have so much fun together. Here are some cute pictures....

Christmas Card picture!

The first picture is the one that I sent out with our Christmas cards this year! I thought it turned out really cute with Ian showing a bunch of his teeth and his cute little vest and tie! He is getting to be quite the "poser".

Time for the winter garb!

Here are some cute pictures of Whitley and Ian all dressed up to go outside in the cold. I love his hat, it used to be his cousin Brian's hat when he was a baby!

Halloween is here!

It was so warm for Halloween, it was about 65 degrees that night. We just wore our sweatshirts. Ian was a Monkey for Halloween. Whitley didn't dress up this year. You know,.....she's too old for that stuff. But she did want to carry Ian to trick-or-treat.

These pictures we were at Tom & Cory's in Ravenna for a Halloween party. The kids had a blast. All of Ian's cousins on Dan's side of the family were there.

Brian and Troy

Lizzy

And,....Sammy who of course didn't want his picture taken

Homecoming '08

Can you believe it? Whitley went to Homecoming with Joe. They went to his Homecoming because hers was on the night of the Priesthood session. They look very nice getting ready to leave. Joe's mom was their chaperone for most of the evening as they couldn't find anyone to double with. They had a good time even though they said the dance was lame!

Sissy being silly with her brother!

Whitley's Prom

She looked so pretty for her big night!

Whitley's Sweet 16!

The night that we had Whitley's party was Friday the 7th of March and wouldn't you know it we got so much snow that a lot of the people didn't show up, ....but those that did had a great time. Here are some pictures of her party and the snow we had the next morning!
