LIFE HAS BEEN BUSY!!!!

I began this blog with every intent on keeping it up weekly (or atleast monthly), but I haven't really done a great job in doing so. Thanks Kat for bringing it to my attention!!

Having three children isn't as hard as you may think, but unfortunately you hardly ever get a break and I am always on the go!! I will do my best to resume my blogging responsibilities: here is a recap of events since the birth of Capps.

We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas this year, celebrating the birth of baby Jesus, and the birth of our baby boy!!

A few days after Christmas, we were blessed to have a wonderful family vacation provided by GIGI back to Disney World for New Year's!! This was especially fun, now with 14 people in tow. Having the baby (10 wks old) there was not as hard as expected, except for a couple of days that turned brutally cold!! But good times were had by both the children, and adults! (especially our adult only dinner)

Capps has turned out to be the BEST baby ever! Some say it's because he's a boy, or that he is the 3rd child- because truely, he has to go where we go. I think we were just blessed!!! He is always happy, always smiling, and growing up before my eyes. He was between 3-4 months in this shot, eating cereal for the first time. Just love his cute face!!

Laney turned 4 and we had a Polka Dot Party at our church's indoor playground. Everyone needed to dress in dots, enjoyed pin the dot on the dalmation, make dot necklaces and ate the cutest polka dot cake ever! My baby girl is growing up and gets more prissy every day!

Happy 50th Birthday to my Dad! I always seemed to have the youngest & coolest dad around. With your birthday this year I not only realize that you're getting older, but so am I!!

To celebrate Dr Seuss's birthday, Adlie was to pick her favorite character and dress up for school. I let my creative juices run, and came up with this, using all the resources I had at home. This also included a sundae cup enclosed upside down in her hair! She was a hit!

A couple of cute pictures of little man....

Easter was busy for us! We had egg hunts, birthdays, and semi-cold weather. Look at my cute little bunnies!!

For Spring Break, we headed to Birmingham and Decatur to visit our Alabama families. We had a good time and took some great pictures!

Here are some other Spring Shots- including Adlie's first missing tooth...soon to be followed by the second the next week.

We made an early trip to the beach with GIGI for mother's day. It was nice to get away and not have any schedule! The kids had a blast, Capps enjoyed his first encounter with the pool, and slept in his tent on the beach for over 2 hours.



When we returned from the beach, we were back on a crazy schedule.We had only two weeks left of school, Adlie's birthday, and Capps baptism. Somewhere in the middle of this we also decided to put our house on the market, so some major projects have also been consuming our time.


Adlie celebrated turning 6 with an after school swim party including all 25 kindergardners. They enjoyed a special treat from the Ice Cream lady! But I am not sure that it all tasted as good as our homemade cake- yummy!!




We decided to do Capps infant baptism before the true dog days of summer began. We have a friend who let us use his beautiful property, which includes the sweetest little chapel. It was so wonderful to be with all of our family as we dedicated our precious son to the Lord.






Well, I am 3 hours into this "catch up" session. I will try my best to update weekly.

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

July 4th!

Enjoying Ice Cream at Seaside!

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!!
