Thanksgiving!

OK get ready for a photo montage.........Starting off Thankgiving with the parade, which Hannah loved, watching, listening and breaking out her wild dance moves too!!! Then a delicious breakfast made by the one and only Remi, and some relaxing then....Hannah learned she had a love for whipped cream (followed by Hannah's own creation of a yummy treat...yuck!) ....then dinner with the Hurd Family!! Thanks for letting us join your family traditions again! You are the best and we love you!!!! 

Hannah loved running around with the other kiddies there so much that she didn't have time to eat! haha! The day ended with a self photo shoot since believe it or not we didn't have a  picture of the 4 of us till Thanksgiving and Tessa was born October 5!! Once again parents of the year..NOT! Maybe ONE DAY  we'll get it together? Ya think? Do we really ever get it together" because I feel like I barely survive most days! 

Anyway that's neither here nor there.....ENJOY THE PHOTOS! We enjoyed our Thanksgiving and really are learning to appreciate what God has given us!  Gobble gobble!!

Parents of the year!

 The parents of the year will make more sense when you get to the bottom! :)

Now here is little Miss Tessa! She's getting so big! I'm amazed how her little pot belly is growing! Her eyes are so deep blue, I hope they stay that way! Hannah has the eyelashes, Tessa has the eyes! She loves her warm baths!

 Daddy's girls! My favorite people!!

 Cookie time, apparently Tessa is upset b/c she can't have any yet! Look at how long Hannah is! That girl is going to be bigger than me soon!!! Which isn't much I know but she's not even 2 yet!!!

 Now here is why we win the award! She found the dry erase marker's and thankfully brought them to us (Remi) and he decorated her! I mean really who does this to their kid?? Don't they usually decorate themselves?!? We just keep planting idea's in her head one day it will come back to kick us in the butt!

 She got the biggest kick out of it!! I guess it tickled her while he was doing it b/c she kept laughing and laughing!!

 Self pictures don't work or as Remi says....myspace pictures!

 Rubbing her mustache!

 Mr. Happy Face was fun for a while then we decided a bath was in store! :o)

Peek a Hannah

 This girl cracks me up! I was making dinner last night, pasta of course,and in this cabinet is where we keep the big pasta pot and the cookie sheets Hannah decided to climb on in!!! I didn't think she would fit b/c further back there's some other stuff......BUT.....

 She proved me wrong! lol See her little fingers on the side closing the door gently???

 I was also doing laundry and YUP she had to wear my PJ top. It was like a dress on her and sometimes she would slip on it walking.....

 So she enjoyed going in and out, in and out, in and out... I'm sure you get the picture.

 Bye bye Momma

 My giggle bug!

 Here she started screeching.....lovely! :)

 Bye Bye!!!! Hope your all having a great week! It's a short one! Yippie!!!!!!

Princess and her PB&J

 This weekend we had my favorite (lil/big, big/lil however we use to say it) cousin Lauren visit us with her boyfriend Adam!!! It was great to meet Adam and catch up!!! We went bowling on Saturday and we totally forgot the camera!!!!!!! With Remi along that NEVER happens well it did and we took pictures on our phones so I just need to email them and post them! It was awesome bowling with Hannah she did super but enough about that I will wait for the pictures!!

Lauren is famous for already spoiling the girls! She bought Hannah a pink tutu/butterfly set! It was the perfect for our lil girlie girl! Thanks Lauren! Here she is with Adam getting all dressed!

 A princess looking up at her Prince?? <3

 Just fluttering around the house in her pj's!!!

 Heading back home to her tent.

 For lunch we tried........PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH'S!!!!!!! I know I'm making a big deal about this but the doctors say now no peanut butter under 2 but she's almost there and hasn't displayed ANY food allergies thus far so I said what the heck! She's had peanut butter crackers here and there and probably had peanut butter candy on Halloween so whateva........

 She. loved. it. SCORE!

 Why so serious?!!? She takes eating very serious!

 yum yum  yum, if you look at her hair in the back, it's like a rat's nest!! She sleeps pretty hard core! To make it look remotely presentable I have to wet it and brush it again!

 So I have to admit I actually made one for myself first then thought why not!??! So being the piggy (well nursing momma) that I am, I gave 1/2 to her and I had the other 1/2 to see if she liked it. So of course she did and I made another one and we split that one too along with some chips! And Miss High Maintenance had to have her "wawa" (water) and juice both for her meal! I'm very thankful she LOVES water with ice, even though she has juice here and there she will sometimes ask for wawa instead of juice or even want milk so once again rock on kiddo!!!! I've heard of kids totally rejecting water and milk after having juice! But I'm stingy and I do juice with mostly water! 

I believe I'm rambling on and on and on.......so off to bed I go, even though I should have gone HOURS ago with Tessa!! 

HAPPY MONDAY!

 

Whew!

WOW, I don't want to scare anyone that doesn't have kids or has one and another one on the way BUT man this past week has kicked my booty! Whoever said " ah you already have 1, why not have more?? It's easy" was seriously smoking some crack! It's not "easy", you have NO time and getting up and out takes 5x as long as before! We are so use to our dear sweet (haha) Hannah going to bed at 7pm and then we have a whole evening to ourselves.....NOT anymore! It's totally fine and I'm not complaining (I love every minute of it), I just forget what it's like to have a newborn, no sleep, nursing, a war zone house, etc even though it was 18 months ago we had Hannah.....then I have my dear sweet husband remind me the "how to" what not to do, their sleep schedule! Why does he remember and I don't when I was the one living/waking up through it?!?!

Thank god for him! mwah! :) love ya baby!

It's been a wild, crazy month, almost 2 now!! ekk! Slow down Tessa! I'm just saying what's on my mind and how I feel and I've learned not to complain time does fly and before I know it things will be "easy" and she'll be going to bed with Hannah sleeping through the night, crawling, walking, talking, eating solids, riding a bike, and on and on...........So I'm enjoying our crazy life! To quote the wacked out psycho mom KateGosselin,  

"It may be a crazy life, but it's our life" 

I love it and wouldn't change a thing! <3 

Hannah's 1st haircut!

 While we were in Richmond on Friday we went and visited my friend Allison who works at a super cute hair salon for kids called Pigtails and Crewcuts! It was about time for a trim b/c the back of her hair was starting to look like a mullet! She wasn't too thrilled about being in the chair alone and played shy. Thursday night she spent the night at her Grandma and GeeGee's house. So she stayed up later than usual playing with them and Aunt Gemma and Uncle Dewi! So she was in rare form by 10am on Friday!

Not so sure about whats going on here.

 Hmmm... I'm in a chair that's a car and I'm wearing a cape.....am I a superhero!??! I'm ok though b/c I have a lollipop!!! 

 Cheering up b/c this isn't so bad! She liked getting sprayed by the water bottle! Of course my child likes that she's a water baby!

 Num Num Num......Vroom Vroom Vroom.........This is the life!

 Trying to sit still...

 Hey I like this new look! :)

 Just a bit more, I want to look like a pretty princess!

 TRAINS!!!!! Also check the back of her hair out! :) Nice huh??? It looks fuller and not so wild and stringy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Playing with the Choo Choo's. She LOVES trains and could probably sit at this table all day long. (hint hint Christmas is coming)

 Over the bridge and through the woods.............

 " AH AH" aka Airplane is flying around the shop...Do you see how happy she is?? I'm amazed how much she loves any mode of transportation! I LOVE the fact I have 2 girls and so far one of them has little interest in baby dolls or barbies (so far!) She prefers things her daddy loves and he is over the moon about it!

 This isn't so bad, I think next time I will start off happy and not have a fit! :) haha All in all it was an experience and quite a nice one for the 1st time! We got a card with her picture in it and a lock of her hair that will go into her baby book!

Thanks Allison! I hope you enjoyed cutting her hair and Thank you! I'm so glad you got to be the 1st person to cut it!!!! We had a wonderful time visiting with you and can't wait for more fun times!!!!!!!
