...the updated family!

Here's the whole crew! Tenna has been so good with Andi so far. She loves to give her kisses and talk softly to her. I was worried at first as she would reach up (I thought for me), but she really wanted to talk to the baby! 

Tired?

Yeah, It was certainly a long night. 

Some big updates!

Introducing Andilyn! Andilyn was born on August 24th, 2006! She was 6lbs 15ozs and 20 inches long. She suprised us all a little bit. We checked into the hospital, and I was only dialated to a five, so we thought we had plenty of time. About an hour later as I was relaxing in the tub I realized that she was coming NOW! Albert tried to ring the nurse, but no one had plugged out call button in, so he ran out to the hall and called for help. He ran back in just in time to see her head! The midwife barely made it back in to officially "catch" and we had a beautiful baby girl! It is so fun seeing how she and Tenna are the same and different. 

They know more than they let on.

Tennna has a new game, she likes to dump out her baggie of cereal and eat it off the floor. Today daddy and I were working on a picture book for her and she decided it was time to play the game. Well, she dumped out her cereal then left for the kitchen. I called her back and told her it was time to clean up. Lo and behold she came back with the broom and dustpan! Maybe we really will be able to start doing chorse in a few months (haha, dream on)! 

Daddy did my hair!

And you wonder why we don't let daddy do her hair very much! Actually this isn't as cool looking as the first time he got this band on her head, but it gives you the idea. Funny, she won't leave clips or rubber bands in when I do her hair, but if daddy does it...that's a different story! 

Ode to Summer

This one is for you Stephanie P! I loved the little fruit baby pic, so I had to put up our reply! I am glad that she is enjoying the fruits of the season, though it does mean I never get to finish a piece of fruit unless she is sleeping! 

Tenna isn't ALWAYS a morning person!

I think this face must be what Tenna sees on me every morning when I wake up, so it is natural that she pulls it sometimes! 

Shoes

June Cleaver wore pretty shoes while she cleaned, I am off to a good start! Gramma visited this weekend and brought Tenna three new pairs of shoes! No one can tell me that shoe fettish isn't a gender thing because she was very specific about which shoes she wanted to where and when. Even before anything else was done, she had to have pretty shoes on! 

...because this is the only picture with me in it that doesn't show my bum! 

Beauty is pain 

Beautified for the day! 

...done helping mommy, time to get out of here! 

Dorky moms

Tenna and I spent a few days in Lyman, and while there my mother-in-law and I started on a project! We started off with the idea to make an outfit for Tenna, but found we had enough extra to throw something together for Andi as well! After many initial mishaps we decided next time to just buy a pattern, but I thought I would post a picture because they did turn out pretty cute! Tenna's probably won't fit by the time Andi gets here, but that just means I have more projects!
Thanks for the motivation Ardell, it has kept me busy durring nap time the past two days! 

Funny, I don't remember serving HAM!

Tenna was really on one tonight at dinner! She may not have been too into eating, but she sure was making some good faces. This is sure a fun age to be! I can't believe that she is 15 months old already! My little squishy blob is turning into a little girl right before my eyes. I am very glad that she can be silly, and that she doesn't mind me joining in!
We all went to the air show yesterday at Hill Airforce Base. Tenna did very well, and was fascnated by all the flying things, though the noise was often a bit too much for her. I think daddy got the biggest kick out of it! 

Peeking! 

 

This is what I think of your green beans!
No, she is not actually picking her nose, this is a pose that she likes to do. 

Clowning around 

Let's try this again, here is the picture... 

Calling all other messy mommies

And people wonder why I can never get the dishes done, even with a dishwasher! I unload the dishes, then I have to unload the toys, Mary Poppins DVD and baby before I can even begin to reload. The baby, however, is on auto reload mode, so it pretty much has to wait for her nap.
Should I mention that while I ha
.
, eh-uh, excuse me, while I have been typing this Tenna has dumped out a box of crayons, eaten the tip off one, pullled down all of the shorts that are drying from laundry day, removed half of the items in our computer drawers,and helped me type. Wow, busy girl. I guess I better get back to work, no more slacking mom!
Did I mention that she doesn't quite understand that sorting laundry means we put things INTO baskets, not take them out? So much to learn!
