Living in White Hall has been so much fun! I learned how to swim last summer at Crenshaw Springs and I’ve gotten to have loads of fun at Founders Day at the city park! Mom loves all the different shopping places in White Hall that she can explore and Grandpa said he loves going to the White Hall Museum. He says he likes to go back in time. I’m not sure how the museum works, but I didn’t think it could do that!

The past year at New Generations Preschool has been awesome!

I’ve made wonderful new friends like Dee-Dee and Colby.

My teachers are so amazing and helpful, and I’ve really learned a lot!

I’m so glad I get to go here!

Me and my family love to go to Hartz Honey Hole.

They have so many neat things and the ladies there are so nice. If I’m good while mom shops, she usually lets me pick a toy off the spinner rack.

We usually go there to buy a gift for someone that’s having a birthday or something. Mom always has to look at the clothes and jewelry, that’s her favorite part. Aunt Jessica really liked the gift we got her, it was a pretty blue and white vase and something mom called a Hobo bag. Next door to the Honey Hole is a place called The Hive Café. Dad eats there for lunch a lot, his favorite sandwich is called the papa bear roast beef. Isn’t that funny!

We always know when he or mom have been there because the house smells so good and we have yummy chicken spaghetti for dinner and a fancy cake to go with it. I love going to the Honey Hole!

Last year when we made White Hall our home, we found just the place to go when we are sick.

The happy folks at White Hall Family Medicine take such good care of us.

Dr. Doug Coleman, Dr. Mark Ramiro and of course Ms. Stacie Hipp, APRN rock.

Around the corner it will be time to get me ready for another school year with a wellness physical. I hope I see Dee-Dee there! Mommy said we have to always make sure that the family is up to date with our immunizations and that it is really important and helps all of us stay well.

We love our pharmacy and the friendly folks at Doctor’s Orders.

Mr. Aaron keeps us laughing even when we don’t feel well. He is very comical. Mr. Lelan Stice, the owner, keeps us updated on health issues plus educates us with wellness classes found on their web site.

Mommy said that Doctor’s Orders has good old-fashioned hometown customer service. They will even deliver your medicine free to your home. Now that’s service!

When we moved to White Hall last year, Daddy went to see his good friend Mr. Attwood at FBT Bank in White Hall to get the money for our truck and ski boat. Daddy really likes his new truck. We had tons of fun at the Lake.

I even learned how to ski.

Mommy just can’t get a grip on the water skiing thing but she likes to drive the boat.

Gigi and Grandpa just moved to White Hall and Mommy and Daddy helped them find Blue Ink Real Estate to get the perfect home!

I’m so excited to have them closer to us. They have visited plenty of times, but now they’re here to stay!

I can’t wait to have lots of sleepovers at their house!

After meeting with the realtor, we were hungry so we decided to go to Leon’s.

Mr. Don is the best fish cooker ever. Daddy said that Mr. Don’s steaks are the best you can get anywhere. For our family get- together, Gigi always picks Leon’s. They offer a banquet facility perfect for our big bunch.

Oh, deer! When Daddy was driving home last night, he had a close call with another forest friend. Now there’s a long scratch on the side of his truck. Luckily, Daddy knows that the people at Faulkner Collision can make his truck look like it never happened!

Daddy was really happy with how fast and good they were with making his truck better!

Mrs. Michelle and Mrs. Janice take care of us. It seems like critters really like Daddy’s truck.

Mommy said that Shelter takes care of all of our insurance needs with just one easy phone call and she said that makes her less stressed. Daddy just got a new motorcycle and called Mrs. Michelle for insurance. He said something about he likes his hair to blow and feel the wind whippin’ his face. I don’t really know all of what he was talking about.

Who wants a whippin’ in the face?!

Mommy and Gigi decided that Gigi’s house needed some new flooring.

Gigi suggested going to Showcase of Floors, a family business serving our community for almost 40 years. She also told Mommy they had recently been voted Best of the Best flooring store again.

I got to go with Mommy and Gigi to pick out the new flooring.

The sales people were so nice.

We looked at lots of different kinds of flooring. Gigi was so happy when she found exactly what she wanted and at the price she wanted to pay.

Mommy said she’s going to tell Daddy we need new flooring in our house too!

After leaving the flooring store, we went to the Fairfield Credit Union, Jefferson County’s only community credit union to see our lovely friends there. Mommy knows that we are members of the credit union after we signed up last year. I am a member of the free Kids’ Club where I learned how to save my money like a responsible person.

I like being ‘sponsible.

Today we went to the wonderful services at Family Church in White Hall.

Mommy, Daddy and I all dressed up in our best clothes and got to spend a great time with all the different people in the church!

There were so many kind people and I loved all the music!

After church, we loaded up

in the car and headed over to

El Parian for some lip smacking Mexican food. Mr. Lewis and

the rest of the staff always make

us feel right at home. We go there every Sunday after church. Mommy

always orders the same thing,

Chile Poblano, Taco, Beans and

Guacamole salad. As for me and Daddy, we like the Burritos El Parian and Tacos El Paisa. The cheese dip is the bomb!

In order to make sure the changes to our living room floor were taken care of, Mommy and Daddy got a loan from Mrs. Katherine at Pine Federal Credit Union. She was so helpful and got everything taken care of super fast!

Thank you, Mrs. Katherine!

You made our family happy!

She also reminded us of how easy it is to apply for a real estate loan and told us we could send Gigi and Grandpa her way.

I know she’ll help them out just like she did for us!

Mommy is planning for my birthday party at the park and said that we can have it with the help of Party Palooza! She said they have specialties like a large supply of party supplies for all events, balloons, gifts and even cakes! Mommy said Party Palooza makes party planning easy as pie and helps us to celebrate all of life’s milestones!

Not sure what a milestone is.

I wonder what they look like!

Today we got to go eat at Dairy Queen. I love their pretzels with zesty queso!

It’s one of my favorite treats!

My birthday is coming up and Mommy says that Dairy Queen has yummy ice cream cakes that I can choose from to have at my party!

I’m so excited!
