New pics!!

So I took Xander to Kiddie Kandid's to get his 6 month pics done....He was so perfect. He smiled perfectly and was so happy! The girl who was taking his pictures thought he was wonderful!! The pictures went really fast, because she could get a great picture with one or two shots!! I don't mean to brag about him...but he really is an amazing baby. He is so layed back...just like his dad, and he is so happy. My favorite is the way that he smiles at his sister's. He LOVES them! He gets so excited everytime they come around and they love him just as much!! I feel like we were really blessed with Xander!!

This is my favorite picture from the bunch. He has the sweetest look in his eyes!





He always turns his head to the side when he is getting flirty with someone. He loved the girl taking his pictures and was giving her the flirty face!!



Doesn't he look like such a big boy....he looks like a school picture. He was sitting on this little stool. He was really cute!! He loved it!

Xander's 6 months!!

Today we took Xander in for his 6 month check up. He was 19 lbs 14 oz and was 27 3/4 inches long. He is a big boy. He sure loves his sisters and they are so good to him. He loves to grab their faces and squeeze. Because of this, we always have to make sure that his nails are clipped because he has been known to scratch pretty hard :)!! We had a great Easter and I wanted to put some photos up!! Here he is just starting to be able to sit up by himself...he tips over very easily still :)


















We had a lot of fun going over to Nana's house to decorate Easter eggs. The kids eventually lost interest but Travis and I had fun finishing the eggs!!







The kids looked really cute in their easter outfits. The girls chose their own dresses, I just told them that they had to coordinate. I thought they did a good job!!

Our little Butter

So Xander is almost 5 1/2 months. We have lovingly nicknamed him butters....it started with my little buddy...they buddy...then budders...which has turned into butters....the girls both call him this. I love it, i think it is so cute. Here are few pics of the girls with him!!

Our Days at Disneyland!!

We were very lucky to have a great vacation with my family at the end of February. We spent a week at Disneyland. All of my family came as well as my Nana!! We stayed at our time share in Anaheim and spent 6 wonderful and crazy days at the Disneyland Parks!!

i have a picture of my sister and I in front of this same statue...i had just graduated college and I was looking longingly at sleeping beauty and her prince. I also have a picture of Travis and I at this same statue during our honeymoon. And now we have a picture with our whole family there!! it was really fun!!

I loved this hat....and actually, both of my girls got the "girl pirate" mickey ears!!

Me and my niece Lauren... She was so cute...When I would wear my hair down, she would ask to touch my hair and she would tell me how pretty it was :) Sure makes a girl feel good!

My Nana sitting in one of the kids strollers while watching the Electrical Light Parade!
