Jandee's Baby shower

Thank you to all that came to the shower on Saturday. All the gifts were so cute. I am so excited for here. Here are just a few of the pictures we took at the shower.

My Husband

My husband is so much fun. Last night he came home and on a whim he decided to make a custom blog page for us. So we sat down together for about an hour and experimented with different textures, colors, designs etc... to come up with our new page layout. I love it. I love the little people and the cute scrapbook letters.

Thanks babe.

Our Weekend in Idaho

Last weekend Tennis, Penelope and I went to Idaho to visit Grandma and Grandpa Hughes with my parents. It was such a needed weekend getaway. To our dismay Chad wasn't able to make it because of work that needed to be done. But they do say that absence makes the heart grow fonder and it does.

I was so happy to have some time with both Grandparents without loads of other people there. Penny lived on Grandma's lap the whole weekend and Tennis loved wandering around the lake. We even took him swimming in it on Friday and after he got used to the cold he just went limp and enjoyed having me push him around in a little tube. Dad caught a bass Saturday morning and put it in a 5 gallon bucket so Tennis could see it. When we got there and showed the fish to Tennis he poked it and put his finger in it's mouth which caused it to jump and whip backwards. He thought it was so cool. He kept trying to put things in the bucket of water with it like rocks and leaves. He wasn't scared at all. It was so cute. It was so nice to allow Grandma to have some one on one time with the kids too. It was a wonderful way to spend the 4th. We were really happy to be home though. We all missed Daddy so much.

Saturday Baby Shower

Just a reminder of all those that are planning on coming to Jandee's Baby shower. It is this Saturday 5pm-7:30pm, Openhouse. Come and enjoy seeing Jandee incredibly pregnant. She is registered at Babies R Us and Target.

Life with two

Now that it has been a few weeks since we brought Penny home i feel like Tennis, Chad and I have gotten into our routine with Penny. Plus I feel like she is old enough now that we know if she is a fussy, needy or snuggly baby. She is a super snuggly, not fussy and a little needy. But man Tennis has started to change in the past two weeks. It is my thought that he knows now that Penny isn't going anywhere and he has to share mommy. He cries every time I leave a room and he can't see me, he cries at night if he happens to be up and he can hear with with Penny. Even when I am feeding her on the sofa he wants to be right on top of me too. It is flattering of course because I know that he loves me and still needs me but it is a little frustrating because it feels like sometimes I don't get any time for myself. Chad has been good about helping with the kids so that I can have time to myself. Even if it is when they are both sleeping and I am running to Walmart to get groceries and take my time roaming the isles. I am not quite sure how I am going to get by without him the week of the 21st-26th of this month when he takes off for his 50 miler. I will most likely be hanging out over at his mom's house and my mom's house every other night to give myself and Tennis a brake. Yes, Tennis seems to do lots better with me at home if he has had playtime somewhere else that day.

For the most part having two kids hasn't been that much more difficult. I am so lucky to have to pretty low maintenance children though. I'm sure it will get nothing but harder from here on out but for now two hasn't been that much more difficult, just more expensive and little noisier at nights.
