Valentine's Dinner

Ok, I know these are a few weeks late, but I have been a little distracted lately! :) On Valentine's Day, Daddy and Tate took Emmy and I to Rockfish for dinner. We had a great time. My handsome Valentine!

Baby Update...

I had my doctor's appointment yesterday and everything looked great. We got to see the baby again and hear the heartbeat. The rate was 165 bpm. He gave us a due date of September 25th, but since it will be a c-section, we are thinking September 18th. I will try to get some sonogram pics posted soon. Thank you for all your prayers, we will keep everyone updated.

Yes, there is another Greene on the way...

Well, we are excited to announce there will be another little Greene coming in late September. I believe the official due date is September 29th, but I go to my first appointment with the doctor on Friday and I hope to get a better idea. We will be 9 weeks this Thursday. This is something we have prayed for since the kids were born. We knew we would love to have another precious baby, but were not sure if we would be able to on our own. Well, God is good and he has given us the opportunity to have another child. Please continue to pray for the baby. We saw the heartbeat 2 weeks ago and everything looked good. Also, pray this morning/noon/ evening/ all day sickness will subside soon!!! I know it is all worth it in the end. :)

More updates to come...

Valentine's Party...

Happy Birthday, Mimi!

Last Saturday, we celebrated Mimi's birthday with yummy hamburgers (thanks Papaw) and some strawberry cake. After dinner, we took the kids out and let them ride in the gator... "So, Tate, how fast did you say this thing goes??"

"Just hold on, Brody B.!"

Emmy was the cargo.

AHHHHHHHH!!!!! The blond is driving....abort, abort!!!

I do have to say she is about the worst driver I have seen. She is definately a blonde driver. She will be pushing the pedal and just look the other way and run into everything!

Fun At the Ranch...

A few weeks ago, Brad took the kids to Clifton while I was at a Women's Retreat at our church. The kids had a great time playing with everyone. Here are some pictures from the trip. Thank you for sending them, Aunt Laci! Boots, Tate, Emmy Quana and Hank on the way to the barn.

Here are some pictures of the kids enjoying some corn on the cob. :)

So good!

Thanks for sending all the pics Aunt Laci!

Happy Birthday, Banty!

This past weekend, we had the pleasure of spending Banty's birthday with her. The kids helped me make a strawberry cake for her and we took her out to dinner with Nana and Papa. Thank you for spending your special day with us, Banty!

The kids loved the beaters with icing on them!

Nana lighting the candles, which Emmy "helped" to blow out.

Tate added the candles to the cake, can you tell? :)

A few of our favorite things...

Here are a few of Tate and Emmy's favorite things this week...

Hanging out!

They are never very far away from each other. When you see one, the other is surly near.

Wrestling!

Here they are wrestling Papa. Every night, Tate has to get in his wrestling session with Daddy.

Anything sweet!

Last week, I made a strawberry cake for Banty's birthday and guess who got the beaters?

Singing on their "stage".

A crowd favorite is "Jesus Loves Me" (at the top of their lungs)

Playing "Mary and Joseph"

Here is Tate (Joseph) with Baby Jesus.

Climbing!

They never did much of this as babies, but they are making up for it now. They think anything is a step stool!

Riding their "Pop-Tops" around the house.

Here is Tate giving Pop Top a much deserved drink of Huckleberry's water!

And most of all...Each other!

A Horse Encounter and a Hula Girl...

On Saturday, Boots and Daddy woke Tate up from his nap with a surprise. Boots was riding Sandshoe. We brought Tate outside to see, he was not as brave as he wanted to be. :) He let Daddy hold him...he did pet his nose, but that was about as close as he would get. Yesterday, he was telling Papaw about it and he said the reason he did not ride was because "I was sick...no, I just wanted to ride Pop-Top." Excuses!! :) He did say he will ride next time. We will have to wait and see... Keeping a safe distance

Tate and Daddy

He did want to pet his nose.

Emmy stayed safe on the front porch with Banty

She said, "I don't like it!"

Tate's barber shop!

Last night, Emmy wanted to put on her hula skirt and lei that Boots and Banty brought from Hawaii. Here she is showing off her moves...

Silly girl!
This was the "ula" dance...

Getting down!

A Saturday at the Ranch

We decided to go south this weekend to the ranch to visit with Boots and Banty, and so Daddy can have one more chance at duck hunting. It is very chilly outside, so we have just hung around the house today. Here are the kids ready to go to the barn to feed the horses.

Here is Emmy modeling her new swimsuit, with the pink boots of coarse! As you can see, it has a "tur-tul" on the front, and as a bonus it is pink, so it will match about 99% of her wardrobe.

Tate is in there right now wiped out from all the walking and playing he did earlier. Aunt Courtney, you can see he still has on his apron from earlier!
