We went to the ZOO

WE WENT TO THE ZOO WITH NANNIE AND TO VISIT GRAMPY IN THE HOSPITAL WHICH OVER LOOKS THE ZOO....LET ME TELL YOU IT WAS A ZOO OF A TIME AS THE LITTLES WANTED TO RUN EACH IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION BUT WHAT FUN MEMORIES WE MADE....MY FAVORITE THE GIRAFFES, P'S THE LITTLE ELEPHANT, CALLENS THE LION AND MACKENZIES WAS THE MONKEY WITH THE BLANKET ON.

I am still a few post behind...

But wanted to remember what my 2 littles told me last night....

We were sitting on the couch Chris and I and Paisley by my side. Callen was over at the chair closest to the bedroom- CHris was talking to Paisley about her little babies and her little puppy dog whom she loves. All of the sudden out of the blue Callen says " I want a little dinosaur or maybe a little t-rex" it was PRICELESS. Not to mention he had jsut dressed himself after his bath he did great although he had on LITTLE JAMMIES LIKE SIZE 2.

Now onto Sweet Paisley... we were getting ready to go to bed I had asked her if she was ready and she said yes... followed by " I want to sleep in my pink closet room" Chris then asked her where he room was and she said I have 2 rooms that one (pointing to the guest room where she has been sleeping for months) and " I have my pink closet room daddy and I want to sleep there" so that is just what she did she slept in her pink closet room with all 4 of her puppies and her baby.

These moments fly by so fast and I dont want to miss a MOMENT--- so sometimes that means a quick blog post before a memory passes and we are onto the next ;)

She is a whale of a tale....

Paisley is full of stories.... and most of them are umm make believe these days. However if you didnt know better you would believe her 100%.

So when I captured her in the whales mouth on our golfing adventure I figured it was perfect for a little post.

Never a dull Moment....

Well as you could imagine it is hard to keep a 2 year olds attention with a 18 hole game of putt putt. Both her and I did great until about hole 5 then well SHE got creative.....1st we went from the character to character introducing herself... up 1st Mr Rabbit

Next was the lizard she climbed up on him gave me her infamous lizard tongue and was off yet again..At this point I think is where she decided to get brave...there was no coixing no telling her to tey to climb through the golf ball slot in the great BIG house...she just decided to give it a shot. Of course this momma who doesnt like closed spaces panicked for a moment.However she is one determined little girl and well....She decided she was going to go for it....And she did pigtails and all...The perfect little space for her...by this point she had the other golfers rolling (I think we all were and her daddy could have hid under the nearest stone)Not her she was ready to do it again and again and again....

Until she discovered the WHALE... which is a whale of a tale for the next blog post

New Years night 2011

So after the Christmas tree we left to go play some putt putt...of course daddy, Callen and Paisley played I snapped photos...It is a GREAT gold course to take the kids to because well as you can see the characters are incredible and there train is litterally feet from the course so at night when it comes through it is magical...

Now at this point is where putt putt got FUNNY...beecause lets face it the only 2 who were into the game were daddy and Callen...P decided to venture and well mommy followed only to capture her crazy shenanigans from putt putt 2011

If your ever in Austin...

Over the Christmas holiday you know this is a HUGE tradition....lets just say we made it the last day of the year in 2011 and we had a BLAST.... We decided that our New Year's night should include doing whatever the littles wanted to do. So after dinner with Uncle Daniel we headed to the Zilker Park Christmas tree.Isnt the tree a beautiful sight...I remember being a young little girl thinking WOW look how BIG it is... ahh the memoriesNothing like spinning with your daddy under the Christmas tree and by that SMILE I think it means she was LOVING it...Let the racing begin..... Callen races his daddy, his mommy and his sister over and over and overWhile she never beat him you can tell it was all FUN

Stopping for a moment to take it all in!!

Ahh the magic under that tree

Double the trouble--double the FUN

Lets just say these 2 BIG boys are spoiled.....

But I couldnt resist the cuteness in this picture I think they were playing a game against each other lol

I case those of you dont know it is NEVER a dull moment with boys NEVER.... just wait till I get to the post of what Callen did to Paisley last night(and I am NOT proud but I am here to capture the memories even the ones I cringe to think about)

I am going to announce this....

with a tear in my eye but knowing that I have officially realized my baby is NOT a baby anymore. I have had a rough day yesterday just looking at all her little girl features...no more baby legs, no more little belly, no more speaking for her, no more diapers (that has been for about 8 months), no more letting her brother have his way....and she is DEFINATELY 100% little girl now. Dont get me wrong she still keeps me rolling and laughing and LOVING having a daughter but lets face it in just a few months she will be 3. Where has time gone? Sooo with all this being said here are some pictures of my little sassy girl ;)

with all that being said...can you see how much she LOVE the new babies in the family... I wouold have to say she is a bit smitten and I am savoring each and every moment she has with them because before we blink they too will be BIG little girls and boys ;) and yes if there is a baby around...my sweet P isnt far from the baby-- she has really mastered holdingthem on her own and helping when she can

Isn't she LOVELY

Ahhhh I told you she was here. And what a great visit we had. But 1st meet sweet Caro-LINE (as Paisley pronounces it ). She is little bitty and has a head FULL of dark hair...let's jsut say she is Precious. It was so much fun meeting her this weekend and seeing her next to Braxton who for the 1st time to myself looked BIG....both such precious bundles!

Dont stop....

Till you get enough...That has been Chris's motto as he LOVES LOVES LOVES to hold these babies.

(can you imagine this is what TWINS must be like--heaven) I have to admit they are bot hbeyond words CUTE and I promise you one thing we cant get enough!!! PRECIOUS little bundle of blue and pink.....ahhhh both perfect sweet additions

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
