Pioneer Day/ Tolman Reunion

This weekend was super fun and was filled with family and good times. We went to West Piney for a Tolman Reunion. On our way there we stopped at my favorite store Target!!! I found some good deals on baby clothes which I always love doing. Then we are lunch at a park in Idaho Falls which Kodi had a great time and Maren pooped out of her clothes. Thank goodness for Shelly's help getting her changed. A baby+poop+a park table+the sun=disaster. After that we drove to Swan Valley and got some super good square ice cream. Then we got to the lodge and it is really large. It has enough beds and space to fit all of Andrew's family, now thats AMAZING. :) Kodi had a really great time with her cousins and her aunts and uncles. Amy even took Kodi down the big slide which she loved. Maren was such a great baby. She slept most of the time and when she was awake she was happy for the most part. She loved sleeping on her aunts and I think I loved the freedom of not having to hold her all the time.

It was so beautiful up there. Just look at that scenery.

Maren was crying on our way home and when I turned around to comfort her this is what I saw. Kodi was plugging her ears. It was just so funny I had to take a picture.

We also got to stop and see my brother Morgan and his family on our way home. Pioneer day also happens to be Morgans birthday. Kodi got to see her cousin Rae Rae (she actually called her that) and uncle Morgan gave her a fudgesickle so she was in heaven. Then we drove to Poky and stopped and got Roxie dog and then we finally got home at like 10:00pm. It was a super good weekend. :)

Today Maren is 2 months old!!!. Our sweet little baby is growing up so fast. She is gaining weight and growing like crazy. She has already grown out of her newborn clothes and she is in size 2 diapers. She is such a pretty little girl and is always smiling. She and Kodi are total home bodies and they are happiest when we are home hanging out. But Maren is also a working girl and goes to work with me. She is really good most of the time and lets me get all my work done. Some days are rough but that is normal for such a little baby.

Kodi and Maren are actually good friends. They totally play off of each other. If one is happy then the other is happy and if one is sad then the other is sad. Today Maren was laying on the couch and Kodi layed next to her and Maren fell right to sleep. They really comfort each other. I did not know that having two little girls would be so great. It is nice that they are being such good friends to one another.

So this last Sunday Kodi got to start going to nursery and it was so great. She got along with the kids and it looked like she was having a blast. She still doesn't understand the snack sharing thing and she stole her neighbors snacks. Next time she will be better hopefully.

Yesterday for work I had to help with a poultry clinic up at the fairgrounds and I took both girls with me. When we were getting ready to go I told Kodi that we were going to go and see a chicken. She walked into the kitchen and grabbed her bibb and asked for some chicken. I think she wanted chicken nuggets so I had to explain that we were going to see a real live chicken. When we got there and saw the chicken she was so excited. She was squealing for joy and she wanted to hold it and love on it. But it was a dirty nasty chicken so I didn't let that happen.

Sad story my Kindle broke and I am so stinking sad. I have no idea what happened to it but the screen is all cracked and now it doesn't work. Really crappy deal. I totally love that thing. I seriously used it all the time. But oh well I guess I don't need it anymore. :)

Some days I want to pull my hair out

So this week I started working again. My first day was not the best. I was super emotional and really stressed out. I don't know if Maren cried more than normal but I was just really worried about bothering everyone else so every time she made a sound I got more and more on edge. Yesterday went really well and Maren slept most of the time. Today we were out at the fair grounds in Blackfoot for the state horse contest and it was super hot. Maren was really not enjoying herself. Then after work we tried to go grocery shopping and Maren had a melt down so I just had to leave my cart and go home. Then when we got home I asked Andrew to take Maren since she was still crying. He did, but he just sat down right next to me so she could continue to cry in my ear. So I asked him to take her in the next room so I could get a break of the crying he acted like I was worthless and that I should be the one calming the baby down. Sometimes men just don't understand. I am sure I will hae something else to complain about later today but I will just stop now while I am ahead.
