de Vere White Family

Henry wanted to take advantage of the 3 days off and head to Truckee with his folks and his brother’s family. This SOUNDED like a good idea in theory. We said, “Let’s leave around Alex’s bedtime so he can sleep on the way up and traffic should be light by that time.” So, we packed up, loaded the car, and… Read more →

Its called Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease and our doctor told me today that it was the 2nd worse case HE’S SEEN IN 10 YEARS!!! Hey Alex….we got 2nd place?? Way to settle bro. Anyways, its beyond ugly and gross looking and I feel… Read more →

Henry’s dear friend from Seattle, Christy, got married in Sonoma on Aug 14th. We stayed at the Sonoma Hotel in the little downtown square. As far as hotels go, it doesn’t get much cuter than this. Looked like something out of 1910. It was a nice 24 hour break for Mom and Dad and we had a great time catching… Read more →

What’s throwing one more party right?? At this point I was planning it in my sleep. I had started crafting a lot of things MONTHS in advance. I also have another great tip….I will always plan a party on a Sunday. I had such an easy time using all day Saturday to cook, clean, decorate etc. It was the best!… Read more →

We have a lot to celebrate these days and our calender shows it. From babies, to weddings, to birthdays, we have some kind of event for THE ENTIRE SUMMER. These are all wonderful milestones in our friend’s lives and each busy weekend creates wonderful memories with the people we love. Although, I’m going to admit….some days I want to park… Read more →

The bottom two appeared right around St. Patrick’s day (honestly) and a few weeks ago two of his top teeth broke through. It’s hard to get a giant smile big enough to snap a pic, but once again, my friend Nicole got one 🙂 Once you see the picture, you’ll know why we call him “fang”. The two middle ones… Read more →

This was a much-needed appointment. I was tired of tucking his LONG hair behind his ears and I found a really cute kid salon near by. He had just finally kicked his fever the day before, so I jumped at the chance to clean up his do’ to be ready for his birthday. He looks so handsome now!! He looks… Read more →

This year, we had a small BBQ at our house. I was excited to check out the festivities in the neighborhood this year since we were still in our old house for the holiday last year. Being on a cul-de-sac makes it perfect for firework viewing. And for the record, the street was poppin’ off. So much fun 🙂 The… Read more →

I think I’ve recovered mentally enough to speak of this event again. Phew! It was a whirlwind of a day, but Alex was a trooper considering. He hated the ceremony (shocker!), but got through the party without a meltdown. The guest list was pushing 100 people and out house was bursting at the seams, but I think we pulled it… Read more →
