And dont be fooled

This little girl is spoiled rotten too with quite the personality-- lets just say she is mother hen to Mackenzie and Madi (sorry Aunt Lindsay and Uncle Kim that is just her nature)

And she is officially the INDIANS girl as she told us at the football game

Oh sweet P time is passing too quickly :(

One happy little boy...

Let me tell you I had one happy little boy this weekend from getting to spend special time with his sister and girl cousins, building with his new blocks with Uncle David, to playing chase with Nannie and Kenzie to getting to use Uncle Gregs "special" pen....There was NO downtime for him.

You know who you are who made this little guys weekend and thank you all for leaving him with these memories as the last 24 hours he has talked about all his FUN this weekend!!

Of course mommy was SHY in the picture department ;( and ummmm Aunt Lindsay if you read this it is OFFICIAL that Callen is telling everyone you are naming the baby Greg Junior Hajovsky---- sorry the kid skeemed and now it is etched in his little brain followed by the cutest little chuckle in Jackson County

You know that saying....

I was once lost but now I am found..... after a horrible encounter with blogger and it taking away ALL my post from 2007 I am now realizing just how much this blog means to me. Especially at 9 at night when Callen crawls in my lap and want me to read stories of when he was a baby....YES that is when I noticed 2007 was gone in panic mode I search and aided HELP and nothing. So today I vow to blog not for me but for my sweet babies. I want to savor the moments and be able to read the post and be in that moment of time. YES this is a commitment and as busy as I get this is something I enjoy and last night CALLEN enjoyed too. So here is to blogging and getting back into the swing of things!!

Kaydens Birthday

Ok-- for time sake I am just going to post pictures but lets just say this was a crazy fun party!!

PLEASE READ ME A STORY...

Just after build a bear we decided to go and eat....in the midst of eating the 2 little girls at our table were growing a bit restless as neither likes to be contained. So I decided to take them out in the mall to wear out some of the endless energy they had.....lets jsut say that was NOT a good idea with the escalator right there. Upon realizing that they were going to continue to try and go down alone I decided to take them to the book store.

P has always loved a good book and she immediately went and sat down to read to Madi. They were both very sweet to eachother and as you can tell they each had a favorite book ;)

BUILD A BEAR 2011

STUFFING THE NEW "FRIENDS"

WHAT A FANTASTIC MEMORY FOR ALL THE LITTLES

This is how we ride the picker...

Ride the picker...

Ride the picker...

As you can tell they like to make funny faces on the window of Daddy's cotton picker. While we had a blast picking cotton we are glad to see it go because it means fall is alomost upon us and for any of you living in Texas you know it means a bit cooler weather.

This year Paisley was at the age she could sit on her own and I am telling you my little pricess LOVED riding the picker of course she only made it a round or two before she was out like a light (man I need to learn the trick). Callen of course likes to get into the technical side- what is this? what does that do? and so forth-- lets just say daddy had his hands FULL. It has been a wild ride this harvest and we are glad to see it come and go and ready to see what the remainder of the year brings ( I am still rooting for a fall crop- and daddy thinks I am NUTS)

Happy 6th Birthday Kayden!!

It is just amazing how time flies seems like just yesterday this little guy was itty bitty and today he is turning 6!

Kayden we hope you have a wonderful 6th birthday--

We cannot wait to see what this year has to offer you as you have grown into such a amazing young boy the journey just keeps getting better!

Peek a boo

We are watching you....

Splashway for the Day

and wasnt it fun....we were sooo glad the stars finally aligned and Carlie and Kendall were both able to join us.

Yeah catching a picture of 4 people smiling and 2 having to hold kids down is not soooo easy this was the best out of 10 pictures ;)

Playing a game of peek-a-boo with us-- yes sweet p we can see you even when you are behind the net

I think he thinks he was toooo cool to hang out with us girls

Once he warmed up there was no stopping him!

Anxiously awaiting Kendall to go down the BIG slide--- sooo glad she is always willing to try the task we put her up too

Thank you girls for the wonderful time we are sooo gald we made it there before summers end.

CHEESE....

A little smile for your Tuesday....

I just got all my pictures from my phone to my computer....and YES I am that slow at figuring it out

Baseball Tuesday

Last night we had a special little spectator and we were FINALLY on the shaded field but it didnt matter because the sun was hiding (go figure).

Once again our little hooks kept us entertained...but let me tell you the other team kept us rolling the sweet little players would run 2 to a base and at one point the little girls stated fighting over who should or shouldnt be on the base...lets just say our coach broke it up ;)

All in all it was a great game with a great crowd-- THANKS Kayden for watching Callen I know he loved having you there!!

Mommy and Me time

Myself and this little sassy pants were able to spend Sunday together....it is rare when bubba isnt around but he was at a sleepover still and then went to help his cool cousins (well Chris's cousins and Callen's "playbuddies" finish cutting corn) sooooooo what did me and the sweet little sugar do. We did some plant shopping now we just need that flower bed we are hoping this weekend~rain, rain go away. We also snapped a few pictures of her with Miss Jen.

He did it....

Let me warn you I have NO pictures for this post... but I have to document the moment.

I can proudly day that for the 1st time ever Callen has spent the night away with friends by choice!! He has never stayed at a friends house he has always let me know that he would call when he was ready to come home. But Saturday night it was different he never said he was going to call, he never hesitated and he even told me mom I will see you tomorrow. Of course I had my doubts but SUnday morning when I woke at 6:20 my immediate reaction was I missed the call-- but low and behold no missed call. Callen offcially spent the night at Brady's house-- with Brady and Luke.

I have to admit he has stayed away from us for maybe a handful of time with family and but you know the 1st official sleepover away from home I must document-- silly to some yes but a memory for me.

Callen I am so proud of you everyday you are growing in new ways and you never cease to amaze me you are my 1st sweet baby, the once who is ever so cautious, the one who wants to verify things 10 times just so that you are sure, the one who tends to be a bit needy at times and you are most defiantely growing into a wonderful young boy. No longer a toddler -- I see daily the strides you are taking and look forward to the journey we will share ahead

Sweet love little guy

We are ready...

TO get to see all our pictures but for now let me sneak peek hold you over

I cannot BELIEVE I havent shared these--- I must be loosing my mind or just overly busy!!

But let me be the 1st to say there is NO doubt they will be well worth the wait!!

A glimpse at real life....

These are the moments--- that seem to scream REAL LIFE.

It isnt always pretty, it isnt always happy and it is NEVER perfect

but it is something I wouldnt trade for all the money in the world

I love how Callen has been teaching his sister to brush her teeth it beat us having to hold her down while she is creaming and bruch them. It creates laughter at the start and end of our days because they are always laughing. I love how he puts her tooth paste on her brush (like a little old couple)....it is these moments that take my heart away

This was our start of the morning (Callen is in swimm lessons so he gets to sport his suit 1st rattle out of the box)

What I LOVE...

These 2 little feet

And at our house they are typically found right next to eachother

HOMERUN....

Last night my little man first rattle out of the box slammed that ball all the way to the fence (keep in mind out field is very far from the fence).... I was one proud momma!!

As you can tell we have a very supportive team!

She's CRAZY....

Crazy about you!!!!

This little girl in my life LOVES people....I often wonder what others think when she is 1st trying to get there attention. As you can tell at baseball last night she was making no exception in trying to swoon the other team and its players ;)

Those cheeks and that grin just mely my heart

Funny thing after me and the kids left baseball I bravely atempted to take them to Red Lobster because all they wanted was CRAB LEGS (yes they boht LOVE them)-- so we went and while there Paisley made 3 new friends all elderly couples but as hard as I try not to let her bother people it is a done deal the 1st time the acknowledge her and that was the case last night.

I will say I was mighty proud at just how good they both were at the restuarant--- whew because momma was a bit worried I had bitten off more then I could chew
