Family BBQ
Today was supposed to be Kamdyn's due date so in memory of the little guy we decided to have a family BBQ. I was a little worried that it was going to rain and we would all have to crowd into my tiny house. Luckily for us it only sprinkled for a couple of minutes. The food was great and I think every one had a good time. I am so glad I have such a good family and married into the best family I could ever ask for.

We sent off blue balloons in memory of kamdyn. If you ask my brother-in-law Cason (who is almost 3) where the balloons are going, he says "they are going up to Kamdyn." It is the cutest thing ever :).

Kamdyn Ross Brown
Friday April 29th 2011,
My world came to a screeching halt. I found out that the baby I had been carrying inside of me for the past seven months, no longer had a heartbeat. We did not know how or why this happened. I felt like my own heart had stopped right along with his.
Saturday April 30th, 2011,
My beautiful perfect little son, Kamdyn Ross Brown, was delivered into this world with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck. He was only here to recieve his body then sent back up to live with his Heavenly Father. He was 3 lbs. 11 oz. and 16.5 in. long. I got to see his perfectly sculpted face, his red hair, and his long little arms and legs. He looked so peaceful laying in my arms. Every time I held him, my heart was overwhelmed with love.
Although I will never get to see my little baby boy take his first breath, hear him cry or laugh, take his first steps, or grow up here on this earth, I know I will get to hold him in my arms when the time is right for us to meet again. I know my Heavenly Father is taking care of my angel and they are both looking down at me, keeping me safe and comforted at this time. As I finish my journey here on earth I know I have an angel watching over me with every step I take. There is not a day that will go by when I don't think of him.

Kamdyn,
I will always love you and keep
you in my heart and thoughts everyday.
You are my whole world.
I know you will send your brothers and sisters
when your dad and I are ready.
I love you more than words can explain,
my precious angel.
love, Mom

Just have to vent a little..
Just because I clean up poop doesnt mean I should get treated like poop!
I am not trying to brag or anything, but I feel like I have been a very good CNA at my place of work. I have never called in sick, or not shown up for my shift. I love and treat all of the residents like they are my family.
Normally I never complain but recently, I have found out a few things about the wages of my co-workers that do not make me very happy. I did not receive an anual raise for 2010 because of changes that were being made by my company, the recession, and so on.. I have just been told that I will not be recieving an anual raise for the second time this year. However, I will be brought up to the same pay that all of the new CNA's that are being hired this year are starting out at. If I have you lost.. I am currently making LESS than all of the CNA's that have been hired this year. There are some really good CNA's that have been hired latley, but others do not do as good as I personally think that they should. So apparently doing what is right and having 2 years of experience with this company means absolutly nothing!
Alright enough pity party for me.. I love my job, I love my job, I love my job..

My Parents
I don't care who you are, my parents are better than yours!
My mom always has a book in her hand (sometimes 3 or 4). She is not afraid to say what is on her mind, and doesn't care what anyone thinks of her. She is not afraid to try anything new at least once. She is always volunteering for everything, and has a hard time saying no to anyone. She loves to talk and gets along with anyone she meets, which can make trips to the store take a lot longer than planned. We always seem to run into some one she knows. My mom makes the best cookies EVER! My mom is my best friend and we do almost everything together. I can talk to her about anything.
A lot of people tell me that I act just like my mom, but most of those people don't know my dad.
My dad is pretty shy around new people but once you get him talking, he doesn't shut up. He knows everything that there is to know about computers. He can figure out how to fix anything. Whenever I need something built, fixed, or assembled my dad is always willing to help me out (a.k.a. do the whole thing for me). My dad loves to be outdoors, mostly out on the boat fishing or trying to ski. He also loves to go riding on the fourwheelers and his motorcycle. He is just a big kid at heart and sometimes he thinks he can still do the stuff he did as a kid.
(I couldn't get this picture to turn)
My parents are very different from eachother but they are perfect together. I love them both very much and wouldn't change anything about them. :)

Finally some pictures :)
Kamdyn Ross Brown
I only have 13 weeks until our baby boy stops kicking me in my ribs and bladder! And people will stop rubbing my belly. You can look but PLEASE don't touch! My cute little baby bump has now turned into a giant beach ball. I blame girl scout cookies, reeses eggs, and roasted marshmallows.
Ty and I tried out our new fire pit and I love it! I almost ate a whole bag of marshmallows in one sitting :). I know I haven't posted for a very long time but nothing too exciting has happened lately. I will do better and add more pictures!

Gotta love family
My husband and I were both lucky enough to have this whole weekend off together! This doesn't happen very often so I am a very happy girl :). We spent the majority of our weekend with my mother's family.
To start it off, on friday night we went over to my parents house to have dinner with them and my grandparents. After dinner we all got much needed hair cuts. I love that my mom cuts hair so we don't have to pay some one. Well at least that is what I thought. My grandparents went first, then I got highlights While I sat around with foil on my head Ty got his hair cut. When my mom started on me again she said "When we are done with your hair, you get to do my hair!" I should have expected this. I would be glad to re-pay the favor and color my mom's hair for her if I did not have to hear, "Your doing it wrong," "Don't get color on my forehead," "Your getting it everywhere," and so on, the whole time. My dad can and will back me up on this one. Fortunatly, we didn't get finished with my hair until pretty late so we didn't have time to get hers done. I lucked out this time.
On saturday, we got the enitire house clean and took the dogs for a walk, before heading out to celebrate my aunt and brother's birthdays at Macaroni Grill. The plan was to have my parents pick us up at our house at 4:00. In 'Holst Time' that means about 4:15, if not later. At 4:10 I texted my mom to see where they were and she responded "Meet us at Gregs house at 4:30." So we drove over to my Uncle Gregs house. While we were all waiting for my parents to get there, my other uncle came down stairs, and the first words out of his mouth were "Holy Crap your huge!" He was, of course, talking about my belly. I am used to these kinds of comments from my family so no harm done. I know he means well :). My parents showed up at 4:30 'Holst Time' (a.k.a. 4:45). We all headed out and had a wonderful dinner then came back to play games and watch a movie. Overall it was a great day.
It is now Sunday and I am still in my pj's at 11:00. We are having dinner at my parents house again and I am sure I will get suckered into doing my mom's hair tonight. There is no way out this time.
My poor husband has had to spend the enitire weekend with my crazy family. He has kept a smile on his face the whole time and that is why I love him. When my husband first met my family I warned him that they are a crazy bunch, but every one says that about their families, right? After spending a few days with them my husband said to me "You're right, they really are crazier than most families." Little does he know, he is acting more and more like them everyday.
If you know my family, you know that they are not afraid to say what is on their mind and they don't really care what others think of them. If you ever do something stupid, you will never live it down. When any one new comes around they get to hear all of the embarrasing stuff that goes on, whether they want to or not.
I still get to hear about the time when I was 3 years old, I flushed my underwear down the toilet at my grandparents house and clogged the drain.
I love my family and wouldn't change them for anything in the world. They are not perfect, but they will be the first ones to tell you that they are definatly not even close to perfect. They will also be the first ones to tell you that YOU'RE not perfect either.

A little introduction..
My name is Alexandra, but my mom is the only one that ever calls me that. Every one else knows me as Alex.I have never had a blog before, nor have I ever wanted one. It was only a couple weeks ago that the thought kept crossing my mind to start a blog. This thought was like that little fly that keeps flying around your ears and just won't go away. So here I am today, sitting on the couch, finally making that pestering fly get of my case.
In the last two years I have encountered the most spontaneous, crazy, and wonderful events of my life. Most people spread out these significant times in their life during the course of five or even ten years.
To start it off I graduated high school in 09', then three months later, on August 1st, I got married to the best man ever. In march we bought our first house. I am now 19 weeks pregnant and loving every miserable moment of it.
Recently, all of my old friends and neighbors have started their own blogs. I love reading the stories they have to tell about their children, events going on, or just random tid bits of life. I also enjoy reading blogs by people that I have never met, mostly ones about crafty little projects that I save into my "projects I would love to try" folder.
I am so lucky to have the best family and friends any one could ever ask for. I wish that I could spend a lot more time with them but all of the wonderful things that I have listed above cost me and my husband money. So me and my husband both work full time.
I work at a nursing home as a CNA. I absolutly love my job. The people I get to know at work, whether it be co-workers or residents, become like a second family to me.
Often times find myself going through some silly situation and in my head I think "this would be a good story for a blog." A lot of my blogging strories will probably come from things that I go through at work. There is never a dull moment when working with the old crazies!
Other stories will most likely be the result of something embarassing that has happened or has yet to happen because of being pregnant.
I hope eveyone enjoys reading my blog and I will try not to make it too boring. Just remember, I am new at this, so sorry in advance if I don't keep things updated and exciting.
