Loving the Dirt

and loving the special time with her daddy!!!! This girl couldnt be happier. That evening when she got home from her day with daddy she was covered head to toe in farm grease, when I asked what had happened her brother quickly let me know that she played with a stick in the grease and daddy didnt notice till she brought him some to play in. I LOVE that my sweet little girl knows how to get down and dirty with her daddy!!!

Corn Dog Celebration

To celebrate Pappy leaving for Africa we decided to have corn dogs.... and Mmmm Mmm my kids loved them. Pappy we hope you are having and incredible journey!

Sitting on the dock of the bay...

My little wanted to go fishing a few weeks back so daddy and I went to the boat ramp...

The catch of the night was when I caught a limb and had to break the line but no worries we are planning a real fisshing trip soon because there are 2 littles that really enjoyed sitting ont he dock of the bay

Rain, Rain...

Please go away...

While we needed you and we have wanted you. I think the over 9 inches has more then helped. I dont choose to complain but we have ears of corn now under water, cotton that is open that is under water and plenty of rain.

I hate seeing Chris's hard work and enthusiam fading--

Trust me we need it and we know that the Man upstairs had plans for us but at the same time if only for a little while please give the crops a repreve for the day so they can soak in to goodness that you are giving.

We will put this in your hands and in return please ease our worries about the crops, the families and the farmers who have so much heart and soul poured into what they do!

Happy Harvest and Happy 4th of July!

We want to wish you....

You and your families a Happy Harvest!!!

There is something about this time of year it is hard to explain but it is so fufilling to see my husbands work come full circle.

Sending Love, Hugs and Kisses across the miles of Texas

My little cheerleader

While we are busy playing baseball we do have one very CUTE cheerleader!!!

This girl is super proud of her brother and loves being his #1 supporter!!

Swing batter batter

My little superstar baseball player sure played a incredible game.... I played pitcher and he was a very stronger batter mommy was proud to watch him swing that last inning! I think he is really enjoying baseball

Special Time...

With my special girl...

It was so hard for Paisley to say good bye to her brother for the weekend because these 2 tend to be inseperable and love eachother so much. However the time came for Callen to go and enjoy himself.

And ohhh how the tears flooded. Paisley cried and sobbed for almost and hour and a half. It was the sweetest words... "I love my Callen, I want him to live with me!!"

Of course it was hard on her but it gave her some time to spend special for just her because lets face it when your the second child that one on one time isnt always there. Dont get me wrong I LOVE my girl but she is pretty accompanied to having to share and it being equal with her Callen.

So you ask what did we do... well we went to a birthday party, we went swimming (well Paisley did), we went to Aunt Glenda and Uncle Tooters farm to meet baby Claire, we snuggled, we painted toes, we baked cookies and we had a fabulous time.



Counsin Fun Day

2 weekends ago we had a cousin fun day. This was special because we hadnt seen Kayden in a while as he has been with his dad and lets face it we miss him! Plus Callen got to spend the entire weekend with him which is a BIG 1st in our house.

I think everyone had a great time although Aunt Kim and Uncle David never said either way if they were good and they would do it again hahahahahhaha. I am hoping Callen was behaved

Sunday we had a family lunch and it was so much F-U-N. The kids played in the backyard, upstairs, and then before it was time to go they had sprinklers and slip and slides out. Lets just say it was kiddie paradise

I think the pictures say they were quite excited to all be spending the day with each other. Thanks Aunt Kim and Uncle David for hosting!!

Meeting baby Claire!!

Last weekend we were FINALLY able to meet sweet baby Claire (who is the newest addition to the Hajovsky clan). Let me tell you this sweet little delicate baby is just beautiful. It was so fun getting to watch Aunt Glenda & Uncle Tooter in there new roles as grandma & grandpa as well as watching Lacey & Ian and Claire.

(Lacey I LOVE this picture of the 2 of you)

Paisley too loved that she was able to hold her and look at her toes (her request) as well as she got to spend quality time with Uncle Tooter seeing the alligators (yes yall we live in south Texas and we have ALLIGATORS), shooting (or should I say watching Ian shoot) his new gun with Ian and Lacey, snuggles and kisses from Aunt Glenda and just some quality time (my next post will explain this girl was having a tough weekend).

(Paisley and Claire)

Needless to say Claire is perfection and we cannot wait to watch her grow and blossom! Thank you for sharign her with us Lacey & Ian 

(these 2 were pretending to be alligators)

Blessed with friends

I am so blessed to say that Paisley has really started getting to where she enjoys her friends. For the longest Callen always told her that her friends were all his friends sisters (yes in part he is correct) however I have noticed her blossoming. I think dance has helped, school and her being a little older. We are truly blessed by sweet Reagan.... she is a little pistol and such a happy sweet girl. A few weeks ago I took them to a birthday party (girls only as it was princesses) and these 2 chuckled and giggled in the back seat. To say it melted my heart is a understatement. It made it leap with joy as I cannot wait to watch all her sweet firends and her grow together and Paisley is truly blessed by this friendship with sweet little Reagan as well as Callen who has become friends with Peyton and myself who has become friends with their momma.... when life slows down the daddy's will have more time to spend playing with us rather then a quick handshake here and there. Often we are told that God know the right place and time and let me say I am truly blessed that he placed this family in our laps.... and SHHHHH they are going to welcome baby #3 in September and I do beleive they are naming her Paisley talk about fun conversations that Reagan and my Paisley have shared over baby Paisley.... pretty darn cute

Oh my I am so stoked....

Isn't that what surfers say...hahahahaha

Check it out as I am so proud of these boys

At Peace...

I havent shared this with many people but today the writing was on the wall. Last weekend my brother and father left for Liberia. I have been a wreck my dad my rock left to one of the most unstable countries and my brother are GONE.... no contact because cell towers are beyond limited. Well today I got the sign they are ok they are there and they have started the rebuild that will be their home until they arrive SAFELY back in the states.

I am proud to hear my brother on a news station and I am even more proud to know the difference he intends to make. I often fail to remember it isnt about the material things yet the journey and I thank him for reminding me of that.

So GO listen and leave a comment so I can share with them just how many people were following there journey.

End of Swimming Session 1 2012

Both Callen and Paisley ended their 1st session of swimming last week. I am so proud of both of them I can see that they have been learnign alot. Callen is diving off the diving board with assistance and swimming to the side while Paisley has been working hard on her kicking , arms and getting items off the bottom of the pool. This is a wonderful addition to have in the summer as Aunt Susi takes them every morning to Mrs. Meltons (her neighbor). I look forward to them sharing what they have learned with us over the summer and I cannot wait to see what session 2 holds.

Cousin Party at the Wedding

We attented a wedding the end of last month and let me tell you these sweet cousins had the best of times. I hate that I didnt get to capture the boys in action but they were go go go.

 A quick pause for a picture.... lets just say these days I call her a HOT mess because just look at her ;)

 I LOVE this picture sweet Mackenzie and of couse Callen comes in for the giggles she just laughed and laughed at him.... guess she didnt mind his pokey hair in her face.

 Ahhh little Braxton...he sure was a CUTIE and he loved visiting with all the girls that held him...sweet boy even showed us his crawling skills... way to go little man

 Doesnt she just look like a model.. this girl poses for pictures like you wouldnt believe..say cheese and pull out the camera and she goes to town. Just LOVE that abut her!

 Triple trouble...these three sweet girls danced there hearts out. Madi was a little under the weather but you would have NEVER known as she played hard, danced beautiful and I dont think one time they danced any further then 5 feet from the speakers!!

Sweet baby Caroline...I think all the girls enjoyed sharing you as well you are the littlest one in the family and a happy little girl!!

Kayden I am sooo sorry I didnt capture you or Callen dancing because let me tell you these boys put the moves on. One of the sweetest moments was when they did the candy toss for the kids and Callen and Kayden got an extra sucker each. Kayden shares his extra with Madi and Callen with Mackenzie it was so sweet to see those 2 cool boys have a tender moment.

Rewind...

My last post should have said 2 cousins shy.... Braxton and Caroline will need to visit school but I am sure when they are big enought Paisley will take them and show them the ropes ;)

One cousin shy

We are just one cousin shy of haing them ALL attend Aunt Susi's. It is so sweet to see them attend with my kids and there is NO doubt little Braxton will one day get his chance to go as well.....

My little tiny dancer...

My little tiny dancer has been missing dance the last 2 weeks. Since recital is over we have had no dance. I can tell that Paisley is missing it because every night she makes a dance stage sets it and starts dancing her heart out. So if you ever want your own private show come on over we have our own little dancer in the house.
