A New Baby Brother

We are so happy to finally welcome our new baby- Capps. Our family has definately been blessed with three healthy children- and we couldn't be more excited that we have a sweet baby boy. His sisters adore him! We can't wait to see the awesome things that God has planned for his life. Here are some pictures from his first days of life!

Busy October

The girls and I were in a friend's wedding this past weekend. I was a nine + month pregnant bridesmaid (FUN) and the girls were beautiful flower girls! We did have fun- and the girls both did a great job. Thankfully, Adlie had some petals left in her basket, so during the ceremony, Laney just sat down next to me on the floor and ripped them all in half!

I was on my feet for too long- and ended up going to the hospital later that night with false labor. I was sent home, but we now have an official induction date- October 18th. So we will get to meet our little brother/son very soon!

My "Baby" Starts Kindergarten!!

Last week was very sad for me as I watched my first born, baby girl begin Kindergarten. Where have the years gone already? She had a wonderful day, and acted like a big girl when I dropped her off. After school, she told me that I could just drop her off at the flagpole the next morning. What? They grow SO Fast!!

Summer Time

We have had such a busy summer. The months have been filled with dance and cheerleading camps, vacation bible schools, trips to Bug Bug and Big Daddy's and our most recent trip to the beach.

I can't believe that my first baby girl Adlie starts Kindergarden in a week. Although I am sure to have a rough week , she just can't wait and is so excited!! Especially about wearing a uniform!

Here are some of my favorite pictures from our fun summer.

We had a blast on

Baby Brother

This news is a little bit late, but at the beginning of June, we found out that the girls will soon have a baby BROTHER!! We are very excited. Adlie has said for a while that she wanted a brother, but Laney was disappointed at first. She said, "But I wanted a Sister!". Now they are both very anxious as we await his arrival in October. Not much longer!!

50th Anniversary Celebration

This past weekend, we traveled to North Alabama to celebrate my grandparents 50th Wedding Anniversary! It was great to catch up with family that we usually get to see once a year. The girls also had a blast playing at our family farm house and land. I hope they will always have these memories!

We love you Meme and Datdaddy!

Growing Up TOO Fast!!

Adlie turned 5 the day after the recital, so we had an extremely busy weekend! She wanted a "Girls Only" party and we had it on the river, at her Gigi's house.

Everyone had so much fun swimming, riding the boats, and making flip flops. I still just can't believe how fast she's grown!

Laney also had a blast, staying as far away from the river as possible!! Silly girl!

School's Out for Summer!!

We have had so many things going on since school got out a few weeks ago. We first had to prepare for the girl's Spring Dance Recital over Memorial Day weekend. Look at our beautiful ballerinas!

This last picture is of Laney telling another girl to leave her alone, and to get back on her spot. It was so funny!

Spring Time

I am going to catch up on a few fun events over the last couple of months.

Laney turned 3 in February. Besides a family party, she invited a few close girl friends to Pigtails and Crewcuts for a princess dress up day. They were all so beautiful!

We took a little trip down to Seagrove with GiGi during early March. Although it was a little chilly, we had a great time. Here are the girls playing at Seaside.

We had a fun Spring Break the week before Easter! The girls enjoyed their school Easter egg hunts, a friends birthday party, and a trip to Big Daddy and Bug Bug's.

Well, I am back. Soon after posting my last blog- We did find out that I am expecting a baby. We are due October 23rd and the entire Green family is very excited! Statistics have not changed- Adlie would like a brother, and Laney a sister.

I have been overwhelmingly sick with this pregnancy, as I am entering my 13th week. Besides being sick all day long for many weeks, we recently took a trip to the E.R. so that I could be treated for dehydration. Hopefully with the end of my first trimester in sight, all of these other symptoms will subside and I can enjoy a nice & hot summer!!

New Addition

Well, Tres and I have gone back and forth over the last couple of years on whether or not we would have a third child. We actually haven't even talked about it in a while, but Tres initiated the idea again, and it looks like we will be adding to the family sometime during the next year.

We made the mistake of even mentioning it to the girls, who are just so excited. Adlie says that she wants a brother and Laney insists that she would like a brother and a sister. I promise that will not be the case, or atleast I hope!! But Adlie has been telling everyone her mommy is having another baby. And although I am not pregnant yet, I have already had many confusing congratulatory remarks!

We were talking "baby talk" again today, and I asked Laney what she would like the baby to be.

This time she said, "A Sister!"

I said, "Oh, well what do you think we should name her?"

Laney sweetly says, "I want to name her Darling."

She sounded so cute, but was very serious. She then went and told everyone else that she was having a sister named Darling. I guess we will have to take a vote!

Butterfly Wishes

Adlie had her friend from school, Alana, over to play this afternoon. In the car, all three of the girls were just joking around and telling stories. Laney leaned over, and out of no where said, "I have butterflies in my ears!". The other girls of coarse said, "No you don't!". Laney replied, "Yes I do, the doctor told me that I have butterflies in my ears and they are red!".

A few months ago, Laney had a doctor's visit. She really can not stand for anyone to look, clean, or touch her ears! The doctor had to come up with something exciting so that she could sneak a peak, and did tell Laney that she had butterflies in her ears and she needed to see how many. Laney was amazed by this, and reluctantly let her look in. The doctor said, "I see five butterflies in here. Can you tell me what color they are?". Laney said, "Uh-huh, they are Red!". So I do think that it is safe to say that Laney truely believes that they are in her ears!

Last night was Tres' 34th Birthday! Happy Birthday Daddy!

Here is a cute picture of Laney, wanting to sleep with curlers in her hair!

School Proofs

Today we finally received the girls' fall picture proofs. At first I laughed when I glanced at them, some of Laney's faces are priceless. Then I became sad, because they both look like little ladies- and are growing up too fast!! But I think everyone will have to agree that they definitely look like me.

Every Two Year Old Must Do It...???

At about 12 o'clock today, I could not find Laney. I was in a hurry to leave and pick up Adlie from school- but finally found her in her bedroom closet. She had gotten into an old bottle of diaper rash cream and put it all over her face, hands, and hair. It shocked me at first, because Laney really hasn't done many things like this. I was in too much of a hurry to take a snapshot, but I now wish that I would have, because.....

Here is a picture of Adlie at the same age, doing the very same thing!! I wish that I could have definitely compared the two.

Something cute that Laney said tonight- Well first let me explain the tone of voice that she uses when speaking. My dad always calls her a little pirate because she sounds like "hayyyyrr" when saying "hey" in addition to all of her other words, with a southern draw. I was putting her pj's on her tonight, and she felt her hair brush against her bare back. She said "Noni", (which is what she thinks mommy sounds like) "My herrr (hair) is getting very, very long- all da way down to da flerrr (floor)." Adlie chimed in "Yeah- just like Rapunzel!". Laney-"Uh huh!" She was very proud!

Another cute thing that Laney said- We were waiting in the lobby for Adlie's speech session, and Laney always plays with this toy clock. She brought it over to me and I said, "What does the clock say?"-She replied, "Tic Tac Toe!". Close enough!

Pictures of the Past

Just to play "Catch Up", here are a few of my favorite pictures from the past.
