6 1/2 months

My little Xander is now 6 1/2 months. His is the best baby a mom could ever dream of.
So far Xander:

♥Blows raspberries and spits everywhere.

♥Has become a mama's boy contrary to what his daddy thought he'd be even though I told he would be. I can't leave the room or he has a fit.

♥Has no teeth yet. Kymber got hers at 4 and 5 months. Not that I'm complaining one bit! Can you say ouch??!!!

♥Loves baby and always has. Yes, even the meats that smell so AWFUL! Even though he'll eat them I have stopped feeding it to him because his diapers were not so kind to me.

♥Can hold his own bottle. I still nurse him but handing him a bottle every now and again has saved me plus it gives Alan some daddy son time.

♥Xander has mastered rolling over but can barely sit up on his own. Doctor said its cause he's a chunk.

♥Weighs 20 lbs.

♥Still wakes up AT LEAST once or twice a night. Drives me up the wall considering Kymber slept through the night at 6 weeks old! What a mama's boy!!!

Turkey Daze!

SO GLAD IT IS OVER.......................

This year I was tempted to write yet another "I am thankful" post , but decided against it. Because I would basically just end up cut copy and pasting it.
Thankgiving this time around was more complicated. SO MANY PEOPLE TO GO TO!!!! It was supposed to be "Rosenbaums" year and get together with everyone but since our family has gotten far too big for anyone to handle everyone did their own thing. My grandparents still invited us over. They invited all the smaller families to make sure the tradition was still somewhat living. I said we'd stop by at least. I had talked to my mom already and committed to having Thanksgiving at her side of the family. Plans were made. And then the VERY NEXT DAY I got a text from Alan's sister asking me to bring jello for Thanksgiving dinner. I was beyond confused. Alan and I had this discussion the night before! Even cause slight tension and we had agreed to go to my mom's. I replied oh we're having dinner at my mom's. Come to find out Alan had COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN about our little convo and committed to her. In case you weren't counting That's is 3 Thanksgivings.

So the schedule was like this. Alan's Sisters: 1 pm Grandparents: 1-2 PM Mom's side:4 PM. We ate the big dinner at his sisters, ran over to the grandparents and just visited. We were beyond full cause his sister is an amazing cook. Then headed to the Water's to eat again.

This may sound awesome to some, but let me tell you, it was far from it! I got sick for 2 days strait and have finally started to settle down today. Needless to say we got together with my siblings tonight at my mom and step dad's house for yet another Thanksgiving dinner.
Alan is going back on his diet tomorrow and I vow I will not eat turkey for a long time.

My sister in law Estefany and Kymber

My very attractive husband who looks like he may kill me for taking his picture.

Kymber was not happy at me at all because I wouldn't let her eat Xander's little treats. Caught her trying to put one in her mouth.

'Tis the season to be jolly!

Yes. I caved. We put up our Christmas tree last night. I though it would take allot to convince Mr. Scrooge (aka Alan) but he actually was cool about it. hmmmm....maybe I am finally rubbing off on him! Kymber was soooo excited she kept trying to get ahead of me. Sooooo cute....BUT BEYOND FRUSTRATING!!!!!!! After the tree was up she danced around the tree singing what sounded like "Tis' The Season " or some Christmas song I'm couldn't quite make out. To be honest with you I think she had the tune to it but was making up her own words.

Life's Little Kodak moments ♥

So for a long time now I've been a shutterbug mommy and taking endless pictures of my cute little family and of other random stuff. It's always been more of a hobby really. I actually found something I enjoy. SURPRISE SURPRISE. I've had a chance to take pics on a few cameras, but it seems like alot of the good pics I've taken on my Sony Digital. My little digital camera I take EVERYWHERE with me. To capture Life's Little Kodak Moments ♥. Now explain that one to me. Pretty soon I'm going to get a super nice camera ( yay for taxes!)
Now why am I blogging about this? I HAVE NO CLUE. Maybe to vent and get some opinions about the pics I take....

Take this one for example: i pretty much love this picture of my sister's baby belly. Some might not like it, also if I hadn't of edited it I'm not sure if it would have turned out the same...

This one is of my baby boy Xander (6 months old) Taken with my little digital camera.

I guess I'm not sure where I'm actually going with this blog. VENTING SESSION was majorly needed.

Thank you for reading even if it was just to cure your boredom!

Booty Baby!

I happen to be very proud of this bum even if it means that I have to buy super sized diapers to make sure they fit his booty!

Trick or Treat!

Halloween this year was interesting with 2 kids. And it came up on me so fast! Kymber this year wanted to be a fairy, so she and I were fairies together. BUT I was the dark fairy and of course she was the sweet white innocent one! Xander was something from where the wild things are. I chose this only because I wanted to paint his face and because it was a warn costume. My dear husband LOVES AC/DC, so he was Angus Young (the guitarist) Oh us grownups looked awful BUT the kids looked pretty darn cute!! I was pretty excited for this year until Alan all the sudden got hit with the flu Halloween day which meant I was to take the kids myself. I VOW I WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN! I met up with my cute friends Kristin and her kids. It's become tradition of ours to go trick-or-treating up Springville main street. Her cute little girl was a fairy too and so was Kristen. No, we did not plan it. We did look funny will all us fairies though!

Here are my cute kiddos!

Fall Family Pictures!

I was determined to get our family pictures done and over with! I plan on doing them at least every other year hopefully. VERY surprised that Alan was so good about it! It was prob ably because I let him wear a t-shirt and jeans...My brother Jake took some of the pictures that included all of us and I took the others. it was going great until we got kicked out by a dungeons and dragons group "because they rented the place for $400 and said we didn't pay anything to be there" Pretty sure everyone and their bridal gown goes up to Castle Rock to take pictures don't ya think?!!!!

This one is my pictures I took of Kymber. She was being shy, but I took it as a good photo op! I still need to fix the editing though..

I LOVE this one of Xander and Alan. Xander's eyes are SOOOO big. Goes to show you what he does when he sees his mama

I'm back on the grid and here for a much needed updating!

I think catching you up on the last 5 months might just be pretty impossible and would take me FOREVER!!! So I'll do the best I can and do a readers Digest version and catch you up on the family!

June- Alan started academy! 3 long months of work and school.

July- Our sweet little (BIG!!!) Xander was blessed July 4th weekend by his daddy. Sooooo many people showed up...I think I counted 16 people in the circle. I'm so thankful for such a supporting family and for so many friends

August- Alan finished the first part of academy and now has a huge break! Starts up again in January!
September-Xander is 4 months old this month. He weighs 18lbs and is eating all the baby food he can get! Alan also finshed his first academy block and now has a break until January. Half way done till he's a cop! yay!

October- My baby girl turned 3 this month! We had her a little birthday party up at my brothers becuase our place is just way too small to have everyone in it. I kept asking Kymber what she wanted and her answer was always lipstick. Such a girly girl!!

I'm back on the grid!!

It's very sad that my last entry was for mine and Alan's anniversary. We got rid of our internet for a while, thus my lack on updating my blog. the good new is that we are getting it again and I vow I will make weekly entries. Alot has happened in the past few months that it was take me a while to catch you all up on The Albright Family. So stay tuned for many entries and many pictures in the next week or so!!!!
