Rangers vs. Red Sox

Make a Smilebox slideshow

Took in our first Ranger's Game since we've moved down here yesterday. We decided the kids were finally old enough to enjoy it. I am not real sure they enjoyed all of it, but they did have fun. I think they loved the food more then anything. Blaine was so impressed by it all, he took a nap! He is a scheduled mom's dream.... although, that isn't me! I know some of you are hating me now for that comment! ha We had a ton of fun. Rangers won 4 -3 and clinched the 1st place wildcard in the playoffs!!! Go Rangers!

A hard lesson learned... R.I.P Belle 2007-2009

This has been a hard week for the Kapka's. Emily's cat Belle was in an accident yesterday. She was on the garage door and I went to shut it. Her leg got caught in one of the panels and crushed her leg. Broken beyond repair, or repair that we could afford. Our options, Kitty heaven or 3 legged cat. It was her front left leg so we opted for heaven.
Emily and Blaine are heartbroken! Jamie is out of town, so momma had to make alot of hard decisions on her own. It will be one that I will question doing the right thing for the rest of my life.
Thank you Jesus for your grace that got me through this week!!!!

Christmas in July

This is my answer to "what do you want for Christmas"



Not sure why a guy would wear this... but it is something that needs to be in my wardrobe! A must have for any Bon Jovi fan!

Now you have been informed!

One of the gifts from Mom and Dad for Blaine's 4th birthday was tickets to Texas Motorspeed Way to see the Monster Trucks. A good time was had by ALL. Emily loved it! Blaine loved it! Dad loved it! And I loovveeedd to people watch at this event! Good family entertainment!

Happy Birthday Mini Jamie.....aka Blaine

Ivan Blaine Kapka entered this world July 15th at 6:45pm. The first thing I noticed was how big his hands were, and how loud he was crying! He weighed 9 lbs 8 oz and was 19 3/4 in long. He completed our family. I can't help but think about his chubby little cheeks and his unconditional love for me. And then I remember our first year!!! He is the reason he completed our family! He is all boy, energetic, but full of compassion and empathy! He adores his big sister, motorcycles, and baseball, really any sport, and hot wheels. I just wanted to share with you how this week is a bittersweet for the Kapka's.
Happy Birthday Big Boy!

Stylin' Tyme....

Emily wanted to jump on the band wagon, and cut all her hair off. Every little girl in Mrs. W's kindergarten class started out with long hair at the first of the year, and all graduated with short hair minus Emily.
After tons of begging her Daddy to cut her hair, he finally gave in (like I told him, this is one battle I don't want to fight. There will be bigger fish to fry later on...)
Makes her look so much older to me. I have to face it... sniff sniff. I have to admit, it is easier to take care of then when it was long!

Not typically like me...

So I've been stressing lately about life "stuff". I was on my band wagon yesterday about yet another "problem", complaining to a friend. And God suddenly was screaming at me to "SHUT UP"... To let go of this bitterness that is the root of all my stress and you will find MY PEACE"
I am usually not the blogger who praises how God moves and works and talks to me everyday of my life! Not because I am ashamed but that I feel like that is my private intimate time with my God, and I am a little selfish, and don't want to share. But seriously chicas.... I could write a book about testimonies just like this one over my life. And I always think... why? why do I do that?
God is good, merciful and loves me when He should hate me... and Satan will never have victory. I want to apply that everyday and not get wrapped up in the ways of this world.
