Kinda a big Deal

It's kinda a big deal or you could call it a big day. I have a new keyboard! Yeah! Look at all these C's I can type ccccc! So exciting. I just typed the word exciting without having to SLAM on the keyboard or spellcheck. I am one lucky girl. There was another C, oh the bliss of having a computer a keyboard and a working letter C.

Justin gave Cole the old keyboard and now it has 0% chance of typing any letters ever again since the first thing Cole did was jump up and down on it repeatedly. I figured Cole was pretty upset that the C didn't work as well :) Then he was carrying it around calling it a skateboard, which I am guessing prompted the jumping. Keyboard/Skateboard, both similar in shape I guess, both have the word board in them. He still thinks it is a skateboard like the one his cousin has. Since he is 3 I will continue to let him think it is a "big boy" skateboard. Much safer than a real one. To be honest after it not working for months, I felt like jumping up and down on it repeatedly a few times too, Cole just beat me to it.


Today was another rare occasion when the boys took a nap at the same time (and Cole took a nap at all) so I thought I would try to post a few pictures. My Mom has been telling me on the phone how she had been checking my blog for more pictures and there hadn't been any new ones for a while. It finally occurred to me that she probably wanted to see more pictures of my boys since she is living far away in fabulous Missouri. I mean Missouri is fabulous enough and don't even get me started on Kansas....she needs pictures of my kids as well :)She is just too nice to come out and tell me to put more pictures on my blog. Love you Mom. Speaking of my parents they have a little over 7 months until they will finally be home. I guess I should start finding a new place to live.

So here, just for my wonderful mom are new pictures of the boys. Another big deal - there are actual pictures of me with my kids. Amazing I know.


Mason 5 months











Sad and embarrassing fact - This picture above is the ONLY family picture we have.




This is Justin's Dad holding Mason. You can tell where Mason gets his blue eyes from.






Halloween 2010. Cole was Buzz Lightyear and Mason was supposed to be Woody. I was so proud that I was prepared for Halloween. The boys had their costumes a few weeks before the 31st. True to Albrecht form Mason grew out of his costume in the 3 weeks leading up to Halloween. It fit perfect when I took it out of the box but he must have packed on the pounds in 3 weeks. I even tried cutting the back since he was going to be in his stroller most of the time anyway.
I tried stuffing him into it, nothing worked. His Chest was too burly.













Bailey gets an honorable mention at the end for two reasons. First, he is Masons favorite thing these days and second, he scared off about 10 little boys that were hiding in our bushes trying to steal our pumpkins on Halloween night.

Oh and randomly by work c wasn't working for a while either because I spilled coffee in the keyboard. It's BEYOND annoying. Good job Cole for jumping on it!
