McCoy Reed Green

On March 15, 2013, the most beautiful perfect little boy was brought into this world.  He was born to most incredibly brave, and strong sister and her husband.
Baby Reed, you are such an angel and we cannot wait to meet you.
Mackenzie and Nathan, I pray for you daily, and the joy ahead.
God is so good!

Oh this child....

My Mady.
God was such a trickster when he gave me AK.  She is so many good things all wrapped into one package.
After he gave me that angel, he gave me, me. 
Yup, you heard it right.
Every time I call my mom and tell her a "Mady story", I hear it in her voice.
She is such a precious, precious angel, but for sure keeps me on my toes.
Need I say more?

After all the pictures were uploaded onto my computer, I realized I should attach my phone to my body at all times.

Funny story, really it is.  Remember that really sad haircut she got?  Well, I wondered for a good 2 weeks why this stink had bangs, and thought maybe I just didn't remember them cutting them.  Until I found this, in a corner hidden away.

What do you think?  She did pretty fabulous, if you ask me.  Just in case, 4 pairs of scissors went in the trash that day.

Madelynn Paige, you are such an angel.  Thanks for keeping us entertained!

February

I'm doing my best to get all these pictures on the blog, whether they have significance or not.  February was a month full of adjustments, sickness, new things, and a sad mama at times.

I just love this picture of MP.  If you look closely, you can see that someone got "attacked" by a little sister.

Smiles right before HG threw up everywhere, and I mean everywhere.  Don't worry, I played it off so well.

Mr. Wonderful made it to his destination.  Can you tell I am excited to see him?

Sickness round, well, I don't remember.  I think, 1.

It is always my plan to get babies to sleep in their own bed when Mike deploys.  HG has been incredible, and I am asking myself, "why not sooner?".  Day 3, 31.4 seconds of crying, and the end result.


Somewhere along the way, we lost Baby Me.  She is MP's bitty baby that she got for her 2nd Christmas.  We turned everything upside down searching.  It took about 2 weeks, but she was finally found.  

Sickness round 2, respiratory.

One day, I was honestly just having a horrible day.  What better than Target to cheer me up!!  We didn't even buy anything, just got out of the house.

HG got to try her first Oreo.  I probably should have been supervising a little more.

This girl got so sick, again.  When she didn't get out of bed until 3:30 p.m. one day, I knew it was time for the dr.  Pretty much, I was given 24 hrs. to get her hydrated or she was going to be admitted.  Scary day, but we got it done.
February, oh February.
This mama had a little much on her plate, but we all survived.

Back tracking

Well, lets be honest.  The majority of you who read this blog already know everything that has been going on in our life.  But, guess what?!  I just uploaded over 200 pictures on my computer.
I left you hanging, lets see, ummm, over 2 months ago. OYY!!

I turned 30 in February, yes 30.  I still cannot believe it!  This has been one incredible year for me thus far.  Let's go back to the day this new year started.
I started the day with this so incredible post on IG from one of my very best friends!!
You have no idea how much this made my day!
I have so many memories with this sweet friend.


I got to open a package from my parents that had been sitting on my counter for a whole week, with strict instructions not to open until my birthday.  I'm in love!!  Isn't it beautiful?!

I got to have an incredible dinner with some of the greatest CHS friends.  In case you are wondering. CHS is Charleston, not Cooper High School.  I wouldn't dare.
The view is incredible and the food was out of this world!
If you are in the area, be sure and dine at California Dreaming, you won't be disappointed.

This is the only picture I got at dinner.  I'm o.k. with that.  Sweetest picture of this girl thus far!!

I really didn't want to post this picture.  Let's be real.  My forehead looks extra large and the circles under my eyes are a little out of control.  Never the less, my 30th bday.  
What a good day!
