I can not believe that our little boys is already 3 months old! He is 14lbs 24" and the cutest kid I know! He has dicovered his voice... he coos all day long and love singing along to music-especially when daddy plays his guitar. He also laughed for the first time last week! It was so precious and halarious at the same time! He is very aware of things around him which makes it very fun for us. He loves his toys, especially this cute little gator that Mamma Aje got him. He has a pretty bad addiction to sucking on his hands. He hasnt landed on any one favorite finger yet (knock on wood) but he definately prefers them to a binky. He has the biggest smile and a dimple that makes me weak! His hair is just about gone, but hopefully it will grow back soon! I am going to learn how to use another source to post pictures because this way is too slow, so for now here a few updated pix!</div></div></div></div>Whitney XOXOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13185470210840896703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886702641356911756.post-36747116704395661242010-01-14T12:04:00.000-08:002010-05-02T17:23:44.070-07:00Reef<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglNwtcS8JnjpyEf38JRxpDgZ2QF2ZT8ar1MMCKoGI_rBGty6-OjxlPjM9bFe-8jyD4DCytS9HCyWdm-JM3ANeW6316h0te5Axgc2uk5Crbn_18X94W-se7MLcKUbxfbIhchDE7o2oD2iU/s1600-h/IMG_0004.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426689764748505730" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglNwtcS8JnjpyEf38JRxpDgZ2QF2ZT8ar1MMCKoGI_rBGty6-OjxlPjM9bFe-8jyD4DCytS9HCyWdm-JM3ANeW6316h0te5Axgc2uk5Crbn_18X94W-se7MLcKUbxfbIhchDE7o2oD2iU/s200/IMG_0004.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhua-ryjei3xNzkyk2pjTSRFzyTxRXUO2EvDadLXaUOzRzsxymrvs7-Kd3gnYCD-E7dtK5swGhQ8o6gmlAX77HHAMA6bfTXI5MIjE8T2sSWtSmuGqT9zIkUj2QPBXGY0z3OhIav4pk6Hlo/s1600-h/20253_263711009072_658224072_4399793_6902395_n%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426689738612654338" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhua-ryjei3xNzkyk2pjTSRFzyTxRXUO2EvDadLXaUOzRzsxymrvs7-Kd3gnYCD-E7dtK5swGhQ8o6gmlAX77HHAMA6bfTXI5MIjE8T2sSWtSmuGqT9zIkUj2QPBXGY0z3OhIav4pk6Hlo/s200/20253_263711009072_658224072_4399793_6902395_n%5B1%5D.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcpYk41vMIaw5NSaiDz5SBWiMPQmTV0YUO-xPIhGnrpjsc37Bh0wyKSQb3q__gGjvHQ5zBkGHkW-jeyqPkYfH6-3BuEA7QUjQoni7juem0epixqrYgpYRPdsy7OTSoyps3S3Y9zLaGYBo/s1600-h/20253_263709019072_658224072_4399789_7133126_n%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426689723726031138" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcpYk41vMIaw5NSaiDz5SBWiMPQmTV0YUO-xPIhGnrpjsc37Bh0wyKSQb3q__gGjvHQ5zBkGHkW-jeyqPkYfH6-3BuEA7QUjQoni7juem0epixqrYgpYRPdsy7OTSoyps3S3Y9zLaGYBo/s200/20253_263709019072_658224072_4399789_7133126_n%5B1%5D.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLJ8cvTAiiLr1COLqOAWvf-ycTRuZNWeKrnDNM92R3BF8OI2F3hD3QcDR_DeWMVAwvCkfDwmLSt8SN0h4a37k6znTnVr7YbCAbseFB4XiHFCQBkqsRyMHQh7IdXy371plxUxSMiPTuWYc/s1600-h/20253_263704479072_658224072_4399776_4270417_n%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426689706888564018" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLJ8cvTAiiLr1COLqOAWvf-ycTRuZNWeKrnDNM92R3BF8OI2F3hD3QcDR_DeWMVAwvCkfDwmLSt8SN0h4a37k6znTnVr7YbCAbseFB4XiHFCQBkqsRyMHQh7IdXy371plxUxSMiPTuWYc/s200/20253_263704479072_658224072_4399776_4270417_n%5B1%5D.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdBA1x9HqdL-_rV8-p8D7Qz2un7HU9KJZOQgqXp0x6f6vJFeRZnrAkyhvb1hy-o_BL1ijcFNEBsMzzDdJmxt58zA2RRa03WrRNFn5vAuqB5QgsyPMbsEMISI6LU-uz6BqR8KLfbRKKdrg/s1600-h/17253_254769929072_658224072_4348743_1049761_n%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 152px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426689693659135842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdBA1x9HqdL-_rV8-p8D7Qz2un7HU9KJZOQgqXp0x6f6vJFeRZnrAkyhvb1hy-o_BL1ijcFNEBsMzzDdJmxt58zA2RRa03WrRNFn5vAuqB5QgsyPMbsEMISI6LU-uz6BqR8KLfbRKKdrg/s200/17253_254769929072_658224072_4348743_1049761_n%5B1%5D.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>We have already filled and had to empty the memory cards on both our camera because we are obsessed with Reef! These pictures are all from our very long stay in the hospital.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>So, here's the scoop on Reef's entrance into the world. After experiancing major pain in my lower back and hips for about 2 days straight, we finally decided to go to the hospital Monday Dec 21st around 11pm. We were taken to triage to be examed. At this point I was at about 3cm! I was thrilled to know that I had made some progress. We spent the next hour walking around and made it to a 4. We were of course excited because even though I was already having extreme back pain, we were making progress. We were then admitted and decided to try to get some sleep. Tuesday morning arrived and Mama Aje was on her way. She gave me strict instructions to keep the baby in until she got there...boy would I regret agreeing to this! With the routine check ups through the night, we were getting disappointed becasuse I was no longer progressing at a quick rate. In fact it was taking about 3-5hrs for each cm, and my pain was increasing serverly through my back and hips with every contraction... not fun! Around 4am, my Dr. ( Dr Kells... bless his soul!) decided to break my water. I had heard that this can be painful but with all the built up pressure I was having it was such a relief! </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Unfortunately, after many, many, MANY more hours of intense labor and back pain, I was still progressing very slowly and hadnt slept at all. So I decided to get an epidural= GOOD CHOICE! I was able to get some sleep through the rest of my struggle to dialate. And it really was a struggle. I cant even tell you how many nurses we went through! Thankfully they were all wonderful and encouraging. Around 1am on Wednesday...yes that's right... Wedesday, I finally got to a 10 and was given the go ahead to start pushing. I worked with the nurse for about half an hour until Dr. Kells arrived. After a brief examination, he quickly decided that it was time to get this little baby out.... C-Section. I am still suprised to even think this, but I was so relieved when he made the decision. And so was Alex. We both just looked at each other, and I could see on his face that he was as happy as I was just to know that very soon we our baby would be here. </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>We were both quickly prepped for surgery and taken to our delivery room. The surgery went so smoothly. On Wednesday December 23rd at 4:31am Reef was born and we were both just instantly overwhelmed with joy. He cried right away and I was able to watch as Alex stood by as the nurses cleaned him up. Alex cut his cord with a very proud daddy face. I was able to see Reef just briefly before I was taken to get finished up. We were exhausted afterward, but it was so worth it! Soon we were all together in our recovery room.... finally Reef had made us a little family. </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>My mom (Mamma Aje) was able to be there for most of my very long labor.... about 27 hours from the time we were admited. I am so thankful to have had her there for added support for me and for Alex. We were sad to see her go just one day after Reef was born, but it was Christmas Eve and she needed to be with our family. </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>We spent Christmas in the hospital and although we missed our families, it was so special to spend our first Christmas together just the 3 of us. Words cannot express how just being together and not caring about anything else in the world put into perspective how much we love this little baby boy. We couldnt have asked for a better Christmas present. </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>We are loving parenthood so far. Reef is such a sweet baby and he has made the transition so easy for us. I am so thankful to everyone for the support and love that you have given us. And I am especially grateful to have Alex. He is such a great dad and I would be undoubltbly pulling out my hair by now if I didnt have him by my side. </div></div></div></div></div>Whitney XOXOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13185470210840896703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886702641356911756.post-30915931152847176882009-12-26T14:10:00.001-08:002009-12-26T14:12:48.194-08:00Reef Is Here!!!Announcing the very exciting arrival of<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Reef Alexander</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br />Born December 23, 2009 @ 4:31am<br />8lbs 11oz, 22"<br /><br />PERFECT<br /><br />We love him so much and we are so excited to have him here!

The progress this semester has been really amazing. I am especially happy with the focus on memorization that has been put forth. As you all know, my baby boy is expected to come pretty much any time after Thanksgiving. This may cause me to miss a show or two depending on his timing. Please know that I feel confident in putting all my classes on stage, even in the event of my absense. I feel very blessed to have such amazing co-workers that have been willing to fill in for me if I cant be there. Thank you for your support durring my pregnancy... I have the best students/partents ever!!!

Someday!!!!I'm sure that many of you can relate to the absolute madness that comes with preparing for a baby! I am almost 35 weeks and really starting to feel the reality of starting a family... we are so excited!!!! But of course with baby boy on his way very soon and recital season in full swing, I am so busy. Then to top it all off, my computer crashed this week.... I know, that's the word that came to my mind too! I am in Thatcher for the weekend, so I'm going to try to update as much as possible before we leave. In the mean time, I have re-opened my facebook account and I can access it from my phone, so I post pictures on there more often than here. Please feel free to friend me and check out the full albums from these posts! Here's what's been going on lately:<br /><br />Had my baby shower in October at AZ Desert Dance where I teach. My mom and Shay were able to come up which was awesome. I got so much adorable and much needed baby stuff! I feel so blessed to have such great friends as co-workers, students, and parents at our studio.<br /><br />We had an ultra sound.... just for fun mostly... at 33 weeks. Alex was able to take me to my app that day and it was so great! I loved seeing his face light up when we were looking at our boy... he is going to be such a great dad and I feel very blessed about that. Baby is growing great. He is totally healthy, strong heartbeat, and almost ready to make his debut! We cannot wait to meet him!!!<br /><br />Sean had a football game in Chandler that Krysta and I were able to go to. My younger siblings, parents, and our other family the Bryces were all there. Sean scored a TD which was AWESEOME!!! Then we headed to Inn N Out for a post game dinner. Such a fun night!<br /><br />My niece Makynna turned 2! Krysta and I were able to come down for a couple days. We carved pumpkins and then celebrated Miss Maky's big day.<br /><br />Halloween was of course awesome as usual! I love Halloween... and Alex and Krysta really helped make it special this year. I came home from work to a totally decorated house and porch!! We carved Jack O Lanterns and even played spooky sounds at night! All my dancers dressed up for class and had a little trick or treat at the end of class. It is always so fun to see my students all dressed up!<br /><br /><br />Today I did a maternity photo session with Erin Householder. It was so much fun! She picked somer really great loctations. She is very talented and I cant wait to post some of the finished pictures!<br /><br />Tomorrow is my baby shower here, and I am so excited!!!! so many people have worked hard to make it great and I just know its going to be the best!<br /><br />Pictures to come of whatever I can get from my parents computer for now... and more to follow.Whitney XOXOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13185470210840896703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886702641356911756.post-27110630421774747452009-05-16T23:30:00.001-07:002009-05-16T23:35:25.224-07:00Dancing SistersSo this week was probably the craziest day of my life! (I say this knowing that next week will probably top it) Just to give you an idea I had Picture Week in all my Higher Ground morning ballet/tap, and baby classes.... yes that's right- all 3 classes together -17 to be exact. We had rehearsal on stage in Globe Tues and Thurs. Then Friday after not getting into my bed from the madness of Thurs til after 1am, it was get a house and then drive back to Globe day!!! (But I did get to drive the boss's Tahoe which is also a bonus!) Friday my Globe girls performed at the Relay for Life and did great... but it was SO SO SO HOT! You can check out the sunburn on my legs for proof. I spent the night in Globe then we had our 2 shows today which was followed by running to my car and hurrying back to the valley... or so I thought. There was some sorta acciedent which shut off power in like half the city and I couldn't get gas since the pumps are electronic. So I had to do some crazy fast (but safe Mom) driving to get the Chandler show. I pulled up at 5 til and just made the curtain call!<br /><br />Yes..... I am as tired as you think! lol<br /><br />So the brunt of all of this is that tonight my sister has their recital in Safford. And I had to miss it! I almost turned around after the first gas station... I thought "wow, this would be the perfect excuse to miss my show!" But then I thought of my little dancers and just coudn't do it.So to my beautiful sisters I'd like to say.... Sorry for missing your show. I know that you did great. You are both such amazing dancers and I am so proud of you! This is Krysta's last show, which made it even harder for me to miss. I've been there... I know that feeling sis, when the curtain closes and you realize that this is the last time you will be on that stage. Its strange. I so wanted to be there to give you the biggest hug ever. But then again, you're not really a baby about that kinda stuff like I am, so I hope you got a chance to stare out at the empty seats and feel great about what's to come! I hope your little dancers did great. I'm sure they did with a teacher like you!!! I hope you had a chance to give them all a big hug and take in that special love that they have for you!<br /><br />Shay- WOW! I hear such wonderful things about you. You are so talented and I just can't believe how grown up you are! I remember your first recital in company... you kept coming into the choir room to sit with me and Krysta. I used to think it was because you were nervous, but as you've gotten older I know that its just because that's where you belong! I know it sounds so corney but I can't imagine not having you around- especially when I think of dance! You are becoming a great dancer and teacher and I can't wait for the many shows ahead!<br /><br />I know that it probably sounds really lame or fake to those of you who dont know my sisters, but who know me well, but they are the best!!!! I think they are probably the opposite of me in all the best ways and I'm always trying to be more like them! They are caring and sweet and quiet in a way that's not even possible for me. They can dance with the best of em, and they are truly special to me and to their studio family. I wish I could've been there tonight, but I know that you girls will still love me! Thanks for being who you are!!!!Whitney XOXOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13185470210840896703noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886702641356911756.post-78164719989781429432008-10-31T20:06:00.001-07:002008-10-31T20:24:53.018-07:00Family Picture<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZmnyEP2RfMEZ3P_KpFjudeXdwAYyIkDq7u21mR5nJJ2F9hHSVhYqLLX_qEc0rF84P6iCMrldwhGPyOdbUMvh0ROWuD_2dZ4gvo5vyZG5NkwkTV5rQRafo2na4A8zY-6xoV3Uxb9PYQHU/s1600-h/Fam+Pics+2-08+(10).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263521667761483954" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 230px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZmnyEP2RfMEZ3P_KpFjudeXdwAYyIkDq7u21mR5nJJ2F9hHSVhYqLLX_qEc0rF84P6iCMrldwhGPyOdbUMvh0ROWuD_2dZ4gvo5vyZG5NkwkTV5rQRafo2na4A8zY-6xoV3Uxb9PYQHU/s320/Fam+Pics+2-08+(10).jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSds2aoEsktiXTwQ22xk7EMYk3pWkUGVgf_xW5HAhefGlJAAACxSTaBhH3vO1OtNLZ_ROC6wh7EnQfV6v__1B2OktHOiUz9CH5cHaWr7BR9xLpEPZ_lTxNium56pEW0nW1k_CsXXsnuIo/s1600-h/Fam+Pics+2-08+(24).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263521663178795234" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 230px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSds2aoEsktiXTwQ22xk7EMYk3pWkUGVgf_xW5HAhefGlJAAACxSTaBhH3vO1OtNLZ_ROC6wh7EnQfV6v__1B2OktHOiUz9CH5cHaWr7BR9xLpEPZ_lTxNium56pEW0nW1k_CsXXsnuIo/s320/Fam+Pics+2-08+(24).jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div align="left">I ended up finishing my last post in just enough time to drive straight to work... so here are the pictures that I ment to post along with my last entry :) These are a few of our most recent professional family photos which were taken by my sister in law's dad. (Who did a great job!) I think it was Feb of this year, but I could be wrong. This is just a few streets behind my parent's house in the good ol' Thatcher desert... but being the "bike" family that we are, it is fitting. Its funny, because of all the family pictures we have taken, I think these are the best... and seriously.... we changed, drove around the corner, set up the bikes, smiled, and went home. And they are SO GOOD!!!! Ok so from L-R we have Me, Krysta, Dad (Mike), Mom (Mandy), Sean, Dallon, Tyrell, Javan, Janae & Makynna, and Shay. Since Tyrell and Janae have been married Dad has become Pops and Mom is now Mamma Aje (Let's face it, she would never be called grandma... and I love her for that!!!!) but to me they are still just Mom and Daddy. So hopefully that clears up any future confusion:)</div>Whitney XOXOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13185470210840896703noreply@blogger.com0
