Big News!!

Garrett and I have been keeping a little secret from the world for a little while and let me tell ya...when it is a fun secret...it is VERY hard!!

 

 

Garrett and I are welcoming an amazing little blessing into the world on June 30, 2013 and we could not be more excited!! I have been very blessed and have felt wonderful. Little nauseous every now and again but usually nothing a cracker can't fix :)

 

After going to the doctor the week of Thanksgiving and seeing the heartbeat we were sure ready to share with our family and friends!!

 

 

This is what our families got to open for the announcement!! Barbara and Teddy's was disguised as an early Christmas gift they "needed" in December and we put the one to tell my family in the bottom of Rebecca's birthday bag! Everyone was so excited. We are very blessed to have two very supportive and loving families!!

 

I will you keep you updated on Baby G and pregnancy throughout the next 30 weeks!!

 

Love to all!

Whitney and Garrett

Babies Galore!!!!

Over the last 2 1/2 weeks we have had 5 babies born into our family. They are so fun and precious and I can't wait to meet the ones I haven't gotten to meet yet!! Here is a sneak peek of the cuties.

The first little blessing was Emmalee Dale Inmon born on October 12th to Ethan and Lindsey Inmon!!

 

The next little blessing that came into our lives was Bonnie Evelyn Houy on October 17th to Gencie and Scott Houy!

The next sweet little addition came the very next day on October 18th and her name is Lexi Ann Beam. She belongs to Seth and Michelle Beam!

 

After all these little sweet girls, Stephen Ross Carter entered the world on October 20th to Chase and Jo Carter!

Last but not least came our unexpected early surprise! Hensley Sue just knew she was being born into the coolest family ever and just couldn't wait to join the world. She was born on October 22 to Josh and Allison Hawthorne. Also, I am the very proud Aunt!! I might have a few pictures to share :)

 

 Gentry got to meet her little cousin!



 

God has blessed our family with sweet healthy babies!!

 

This is not the last of the little blessings coming to the family either. We have a little boy joining the family in December and 2 little girls joining the family in February!! Can't wait to meet and spoil them all!!
