Elyana's White Hall Adventure

White Hall

Hello friends! It’s me Elayna and my brother River again.

I have had such a fun year watching River grow and learn. River and I love to go to the White Hall Museum to see Mrs. Brenda. She helps me to learn about the history of my hometown, White Hall. I like looking at the old newspapers and the funny pictures. There was one of Mom when she was a cheerleader in high school. Boy, has she changed!

I can’t wait until Memorial Day weekend when Crenshaw Springs Waterpark opens. It’s River’s and my favorite place to go. River loves the splash pad. My favorite thing is the big slide. River wants to go down the big slide, but he is way too small. I’m a big girl so I can. Maybe in a couple of years once River learns to swim and grows a lot, he can slide too. Mom always lets us get yummy snacks at the snack bar. Crenshaw Springs is a great place for my family to spend a fun filled day together.

Daddy had a big limb fall on his truck during last night’s storm. Daddy told Mom no worries, like a good neighbor, State Farm and Mr. Kevin Bonnette will be there. We met Mr. Kevin for the first time at the White Hall Chamber Easter Egg Hunt. He was dressed up like an Easter bunny. River and I thought he was so funny. That year, I won a bike at the fun Easter Egg Hunt. Daddy and Mr. Kevin became close friends. Now it’s off to see Mrs. TK at Faulkner Collison to get the truck repaired.

During last night’s big thunderstorm, a big limb fell on Daddy’s truck. Daddy said no problem.

Daddy knows Mr. Shane at Faulkner Collison. Daddy said that Mr. Shane has years of experience and will make Daddy’s truck look just like new in no time.

I’m so excited! GG & Poppa have found a new house in White Hall, yippee! Mommy said that there is only one moving company that they trust to get the job done, JR Browns Moving. Mommy said that Mr. JR and his team of helpers are true professionals and GG & Poppa can trust them with their belongings. River and I will only live two blocks from GG & Poppa and now we can see them anytime. Thanks, Mr. JR, for moving our grandparents so we can spend more time with them. They are so much fun.

Mom said that our house is busting at the seams. That is why Daddy went to Metal Mart where they gave us a great deal on a metal building to store the stuff we need to keep. The building will keep all our stuff safe and out of the bad weather. Daddy is also going to surprise Mom with a She Shed so that she can have her own space.

I’m so excited, I got to meet Mr. Mike Holcomb, our State Representative. He was so nice, he smiles a lot. Daddy said that he met Mr. Mike several years ago and they became friends. He said that State Representative Mike Holcomb, represents us in Arkansas making sure that the folks in White Hall are represented and he also helps to form state laws. I sure feel better knowing that Mr. Mike Holcomb is taking good care of my family and White Hall.

This is my second year to be enrolled for dance at Powerhouse. I have just started tumbling classes and it’s a blast. I have made a lot of new friends at Powerhouse, and I just love baby Kynslee, and the teaching staff. I get to hold Baby Kynslee before class starts, she is so cute, and I love her big smile. Dancing and tumbling are a great way to stay healthy and Mom said it helps burn off all the energy that I have, whatever that means.

River and I cheered Daddy, Mom and Uncle Billy on as they were playing baseball at the park. Running for home base, Uncle Billy twisted his ankle and sprained it. It made River and I sad because he got hurt. He went to Dr. Timm Reece at Family Medicine of White Hall. Dr Timm and his helpers fixed his boo-boo up in a jiffy. Uncle Billy must walk on crutches until his sprain heals. Uncle Billy was telling River and I that just last week, he went to Dr Timm’s walk in clinic for his tummy problems. He said that Dr Timm has three walk-in clinics, one in White Hall and one in Pine Bluff and even one in Star City.

Mom says using local businesses is a smart way to go. That’s why we are using Pine Federal Credit Union to finance our new cabin on the lake. I love going with mom and daddy to visit with my friends at Pine Federal Credit Union. They always have big smiles for me. They love to help. Thank you, my friends for financing our new place. I can’t wait to go fishing with Daddy. I always catch more fish.

Last year, Mom and I bought Daddy a new guitar for his birthday from Music Warehouse. Today, after I made a deposit in my Kid’ club account at Fairfield Credit Union, we headed to see Mr. Lucus at Music Warehouse to get my new set of drums. I can’t wait! I have been saving my birthday and Christmas money so I could get my drums. I love looking at the cool guitars and beautiful pianos that they have in the store. I hope that I can play my drums as well as Daddy can play his birthday guitar.

Dr. Mark Ramiro MD, PA offers full-service care for our family. This year, as always, I was excited to see Michelle Rawls APRN. She is so nice and helpful with my school physical. Dr. Mark and Michelle will take awesome care of you.

When it’s time to pick up medicine at Doctor’s Orders Pharmacy, River and I love to go with Mom and see Mr. Aaron. He always gives us suckers and a big smile and tells us how big we are getting. Mom makes sure that she picks up our vitamins so we can stay healthy.

Some guys came to my school and talked about how important keeping our personal information safe is. Razor Shred has on-site paper and document shredding services to help protect your personal and confidential information. They also have mobile document shredding.

Razor Shred can help you stay compliant with federal regulations regarding destroying sensitive information.

Oh No! On our way home from the library, mom had a flat tire and went to the folks at Dane’s for a repair. While she was there, she also had her oil changed. Daddy says you can count on Mr. Dane for of all your car care needs. Mr. Dane is so funny and such a nice man. It didn’t take long before we were back on the road.

It’s fun to see how much our Kids’ Club Accounts have grown in just a year. The friendly folks at Fairfield Community Credit Union always lets me know exactly how much money I have and brags on River and me about being great savers.

My mom and dad really think about the future a lot. They trust Michelle Herring at Shelter Insurance with their life insurance policies. Ms. Michelle makes sure that mom and dad have the right plans and policies that will take care of River and I. I like knowing I am taken care of.

We did some spring cleaning at our home. Johnson’s Metal Recyclers helped us make sure that we disposed of all the things we no longer needed the right way. It is important to do our part in recycling and the great people at Johnson’s make the process easy for anyone.

Dad tackled our debt with a little help from Mrs. Kathy at Stanley Havner Law Firm. Dad said that Stanley Havner Law is committed to our financial success. They have more than 25 years of experience and their skilled attorneys specialize in bankruptcy and debt relief. Mom said that will take our worries away so we can enjoy our life. I am all for loads of fun in life.

Oh no! Dad tripped over one of my toys and hurt his ankle! Mom had to take him to Jefferson Regional to make sure that he wasn’t hurt. She trusts them to make sure our family is well taken care of in an emergency. Luckily, they said his ankle is only sprained and not broken. I need to remember to keep my toys put up when I am not playing with them so no one gets hurt.

Sundays and Wednesdays are my favorite days of the week. On Sundays after breakfast, Mom, Daddy, River and I go to Family Church. On Sundays I get to see my friends in the big girl class while River goes to the nursery. On Wednesday nights we go to church to learn even more about Jesus. Family Church has a place for every age group. I go to kids’ ministry for ages K-5 while River goes to the preschool ministry. We get to spend time with our friends and enjoy a lot of fun activities.
