Tea Party!!

I decided to surprise Kaida with a Tea party because I knew she would love it!

I originally was going to wait until Jaks had his nap to do it, but I knew he would love it too so I did a lunch Tea Party.

I made butterfly sandwiches
cheese, pickles and crackers...a family favorite!
grape juice
and orange slices



Garett even attended out party before he left for work. {thats my new headband earwarmer that I knitted a couple days ago}



It was a HUGE hit. the kids LOVED pouring the juice and drinking out of the mini cups.

Curly Shirley!

So Kaida bugged me about putting her hair in sponge rollers one night...I talked her out of it....but the next time she reminded me about it was Saturday night....and as much as i wanted to i just couldnt say no.

so we curled her up...I knew it was going to be VERY curly when she woke up, but that didnt get to her.

well...she woke up....and it was curley....VERY curly! she wasnt too sure about it! but by the time church came around it had tamed down enough that i just might be ok.

she got alot of compliments and now she aways wants it curley.



She was really workin it for me today! so i had to take advantage....



Jaks had to get in there too....love these kids! Kaida gave him a hug and he is ticklish like me behind the ear...so even just breathing makes him squirm.

Im so glad when daddy comes home!

It's always fun when Garett comes home after hes been away to work or even just a run to the grocery store!

the kids go wild, and i get to sit back and relax and watch them love on their dad

Jaks is getting to the age where he loves to wrestle and I know garett loves it too.

last one of the season....tear

I have always LOVED pomegranates...and Ive got my kids addicted now too!

they love it, I love it, and garett dosnt....so that means the more for us! cause when there is something he likes it dont last long at our house!



YUMMY!!!

Corsons 3rd

Garett was working this weekend. so I ventured in to Lethy with the kids for Corson's birthday party!

the kids were super excited!

Ash was a smart girl and did it at the church....so the kids could run around and have fun!



Treats at kid height....Jaks and Kaida were in heaven....munchies and sour dinosaurs...



apparently they were a lot sour...ha...Dryden you are too cute! but he kept on going back for more.






Ashley made another CUTE cake...as always!





Corson got a lot of good gifts and Jaks just sat there and watched...usually he is opening everything!!







Pinnate is always a good time! I think next to Corson, Jaks had the best hit!

why...

do I have a million toys in my house when all the kids want to play with are my kitchen utensils?








I guess its a nice change and it keeps the kids busy, so whatever eh.

I pod

These crazy things will take over our lives if we let them.

I try not to let it, which means I don't let the kids play with it that often!

Kaida came up to me the and said "MOM.....I totally won!!"

I thought it was wickedly funny how she said it, so I didnt mind too bad that she played with it for a few minutes.

Every time Jaks sees my iphone in sight he will try and be sneaky and snatch it from me....so funny these kids

some exercise?

Well yesterday I woke up with the intentions of exercising and I actually did it!

Kaida says to me "You never exercised for YEARS!" haha

I even got Garett to do it with me...which made more fun, cause to me exercise is NO FUN!!!

Jillian kicked my butt and I am dead tired from it!



....we shall see just how long it will last!

left out some?

Gar came up to me and said he felt left out cause I always just take pictures of the kids

then he looked at the camera with this wonderful face

love you honey....so sorry for leaving you out

"ba"

Santa brought Jaks this bike for Chirstmas. He loves it, but hasnt really had the chance to really ride it.

He only REALLY loves it when his sister wants a turn, but he enjoyed it today while Kaida was at school.







I told him to show my him teeth in these pictures and I LOVE them!



heatbreak...

Grandpa Kapcsos came over today and took Kaida to school.

Jaks was completely heartbroken

I tried to rock him to sleep so he would get it off of his mind

I had him pretty much out, then he would wake up and say "bam pa" in the saddest voice. I almost wanted to cry!

he LOVES his grandpas!



while I was rocking Jaks to sleep Nay would just look up at me and give me a big cheesy smile.

she can always put a smile on my face

we all call her "Nay Nay" because thats how jaks says her name.

love that little girl

I know, I know...

I just felt so bad for the little fella. When Kaida has friends over, Jaks just follows them around like a little, lost puppy.

So I decided to give in and let him put on a dress so he could "feel included" even though he still wasn't really included



....the dress didnt last long which made me a bit happy inside.

booties

I make these cute little booties for my babies and for friends who have babies.

I have had so many compliments/requests on them that I decided to make a bunch to sell.



available sizes include

newborn
n-3
0-3
3-6
6-12


custom orders are always welcome too!!

these grey ones on the bottom left are my "boy version" I think they are my favourite!

worth a try?

DO you ever have a marvellous idea that you could have your kids do that you "think" would keep them busy for a bit while you attempt to get something done?

this was my idea



started off great....

and backfired.

stinky money all over the house and I ended up cleaning it all up.

how could I forget?

Bought this little gem at black friday of 2009. I dug it out of my closet and let the kids go to town.

Surprisingly the dough was still soft!



Had to really take control of my OCD and sit back and let the kids mix the colors.


I'll save this for another emergency.

Happy 2011!!



I let the kids eat the eatable candy off the ginger bread house we finally finished last night! I was waiting for a day that I had time to make it perfect and pretty...well that day never did come so last night I squished on the glue and let the kids go to town on decorating it. Turned out pretty cute anyways!



It came.....a new year and new beginnings! I always look forward to this day for a fresh start! Here are a couple of things that I will try harder to work on.

1. Get up and GET DRESSED every day! no more sweat pant mom!
2. Set the table and enjoy dinner together as a family.
3. GIve the kids more of my time and be more patient
4. The oblivious ones, eat better, exercise....yada yada.....lets just say they arnt at the top of my list but I will TRY harder than last year. ha
