A trip to Dallas Aquarium

We traveled to Dallas the very last few days of this year to meet the 7th addition to the Hajovsky Family~ Caroline Elizabeth Kelly. While there the daddy's and I took the 4 older ones to the Aquarium. And boy let me tell you there is so much to look at and take in and see that we could have spent hours there. Even when she is with these 2 rough and rowdy boys she TRIES her hardest to be one of the group....This little lady is my animal lover... big, small, cute, cuddly, stinky, and even those we dont want around she LOVES.....I am telling you she says AWWW to any animal she sees ;) Can you feel the excitement on her face?These two have there moments but I love capturing the little moments where they are loving and kind to eachother..... and I love how they were looking for the lizard! Since we all know P has her lizard tongue down pat these days!

Madi and Paisley were inspecting the otters and would shout with excitement each time they would swim by....I do believe this was there favorite part of the experience.

As you can see these 4 had a blast....of course getting a picture of all 4 can prove to be challenging ;)

Caroline is here...

Yes the blog has been down for a few days but we have a sweet new niece that joined the Hajovsky Clan just before Christmas.

Sweet Caroline Elizabeth Kelly was born December 22nd at 12 :31 pm

I have to tell you I am beyond anxious to meet her and get to see her sweet eyes, her locks of hair, her tiny toes and her little hands. I am also exdcited to see her brother and her sister with her as those are the most tender moments in the world.

I promise pictures soon!

This blog....

feels like my lifer here lately always playing catch up. Of course I have set to try and make it a point to slow down, put the computer down and focus on the moment. So I am going to fly through the rest of December on the blog and hope that from now on I stay caught up and get back to capturing the moments I want to remember now and always.

I have about a 1000 christmas pictures but of course this by far tops the list. Because rarely is mommy in a picture in fact I cant tell you the last time (besides Miss Jen capturing our christmas card photos) that we had a picture of the 4 of us...lets just say it has been that LONG!SO rather then leaving you with pictures of the littles opening there Christmas Goodies I am going to leave you with our family of 4.

Christmas was wonderful it was busy it was fun it was chaotic and it was memorable and every year I say we are going to slow down savor the moment not scramble at the last moment and every year it passes and we have done it all again. So this year we are going to take the time to savor the monet, enjoy the seconds and capture the memories....and slow our lives down just a bit.

We hope you are your families had a blessed Christmas as we did....and we wish you a magical New year

Santa Sighting

Ok you can tell alot from these pictures... funny thing is this is the EXACT order each one sat in Santas lap at the party--- for the most party everyone was excited and did really well. There are a few kids that didnt get there picture taken however none had a melt down when he came to the door so that was a GOOD thing. Merry Christmas to all our little friends and families we hope you have a blessed 2012

School Christmas

Last week we celebrated with the kids school family there Christmas. Let me tell you Aunt Susi never disappoints. Not only was the party fabulous but oh my her home was INCREDIBLE!!!! I can tell you she is a perfectionist in everything she does and I see my littles striving there each and everyday. Chris and I are so thankful to be able to send them to such a wonderful school the learning experience is just something that is not comparable. It is hard to think that next week Callen will be bringing home his 1st reading book...but that is for a later post.

Like I said the party was perfection....from the cute little gifts each family brought for all the students to the exchange of gift to seeing what Aunt Susie gave the littles. Not only that but it was also a joyous occasion where they kids sent Braden home a gift basket and gifts. Unfortunately he has gone back to having to have chemo every week as he is not responding like they wanted. While I think at Christmas we get lost in the hustle and bustle and forget just what we are thankful for....

Such a sweet celebration with such sweet kiddos--- Thank you Aunt Susi for the blessing you share with our kids, the learning experience, the friendships and most of all the LOVE you give them!

Time for a visit

After the cookie party we had a few people stay late which gave the kids and Chris and I time to visit and snuggle with Mackenzie and Braxton. Lets just say I got lots of playtime in with Mackenzie as she is go go go and never seems to slow down much. Awww and sweet little Braxton thank heavens his momma is ok with my kids pawing him and loving him and talking to him right up in his sweet little face ;) lets just say they ahve alot of loveto give. We enjoyed the evening and look forward to spending time with all our family and friends over the holidays as that is the reason for the season!

Callen as you can tell had been eating cheetos but he didnt want to miss out on holding his newest little cousin--- FINALLY a boy as there have been 3 girls since Callen was born ;) Oh P loves to rub his little head and kiss him and tell him " I LUB YOU"
SHe also likes to get down to his level-- maybe she was sharing secrets with him or giving words of advice. I am telling you this girl cant get enough of babies

Busy busy Mackenzie--- this was snapped the moment she was standing still isnt she just the cutest little reindeer you ever did see

The newest little snuggle ahhhhhh he is just so sweet and to me it looks like he is holding onto that paci for dear life-- guess he doesnt want to loose it to any sticky hands ;)

Second Annual Cookie Decorating Party

We had a fabulous time decorating cookies this year and we even had 2 visits from Santa (we had NO idea). I have to tell you time with friends and family is so important to me and if it means having the slightest reason to get together well I am all for it. While the party flies by every year there are so many memories that we have. We of course missed those that couldnt make it but we are looking forward to this party for many years.....each year it marks the 1st for some of our visitors and this year we had lots of new faces. We are blessed beyond words and to all that came, helped, participated and for those unable to make it THANK YOU for your endless love and support this is just our little way of giving back to you all.

Thank you again for being a special part of our little family

The most Wonderful Time of the YEAR

We are ever so excited to be hosting our 2nd Annual Cookie decorating Party---

I know lots of littles that will have FUN making a mess this weekend and eating lots of sweets

House Keeping

So today I ahve decided that I need to do some housekeeping (too bad it isnt just the blog needing housekeeping;) sooo I am going to play catch up because some how November I skipped several post.

It started with a little visitor who came and played several nights with us...boy did we have some FUN!! Paisley did her best at keeping Madi happy with lots of TOYS and Callen enjoyed a good game of chase nightly around the house

Next up was what I would call COUSIN WEEKEND... we had a blast I had several projects for the boys one which they loved was pumpkin shooting in the rain, the girls play babies and colored there little hearts contentMackenzie and her daddy reading books

Of course during Cousin weekend Mackenzie had all hands on deck on the gator that sweet little girl is NEVER scared

And they all ended the night in bed with Uncle Matt....hmmmm how many monkeys were in the bed?

Sooo that should recap cousin weekend and while it looks like sweet P is saying peace out she is really letting you all know she is 2
