'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!!!!

HAPPY 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!

And one year goes by in a blink of an eye! Been married one year. hahahah One year and one month old baby later and we're still together. I love my husband so much. We've been through alot and I'm so glad he stuck by me through it all. Hopefully we'll have many more to come. (Hopefully next year we'll be able to actually celebrate it) Not much you can do with 2 kids and one of them being an infant!

4th generation

We planned a family picnic because Alan's Grandpa Carl is coming up from California to visit for a while. i have never met him so I was happy. I love family!! It also gave me the chance to take a 4th generation picture for them because I wanted xander to have a pic with his grandpa. sure made everyone proud. Also kymber loves loves loves to play with her cousins as much as she can. Poor girl doesn't have any older siblings to play with. Just her mommy and daddy Alan.

so much to write...so little time

I guess that's the life of a mom. So much do write (do) with so little time. Even for a stay at home mom. Busy busy busy.

I'm not a mom of 2 and am lovin it. Xander will be 3 weeks old on Thursday. As of Last Friday he weighed 10 lbs and 4 oz. He's gaining weight like no other! He eats and eats. Drains me empty. The cute little boy has been smiling from day one and I have my camera full of pictures. I get camera happy but later on in life I'm sure we'll all appreciate how many pictures mommy took!

Kymber loves her little brother, but hates me it seems like. Ok, so not hates me but doesn't like it when instead of getting her breakfast the second she wakes up I have to feed her brother. She does not like that, but is now getting used to the little big bundle that's hanging around. She now knows he's here to stay.

Alan is loving having a boy around the house event though all Xander does is eat sleep and make dirty diapers. He keeps saying how he wants to try for another one when Xander turns a year old. I told him no way! Maybe wait two years. Alan starts the police academy June 9th and is very excited. His schedule will be full and won't be home alot with family, but it's only for a year with a few months break in between. And it'll all be worth it. He's very excited and it'll help him get back into the shape he want to be in.

I am doing awesome! I weigh 128 lbs as of last Thursday. basically back to my pre preggo weight. For that, I am thankful I have good genes! Finding time to do laundry is difficult and poor Alan's wife can't keep up. But having my kids is so worth it and I love staying home with them.
