Hailey Autumn will be THREE in September and Teagan Jane will be ONE in November. Time can slow down now....

Here they are, my two FAVORITE munchkins! Hailey 2 years old and Teagan 2.5 months. I am loving being a stay at home mommy! Hailey is such an amazing big sister, I honestly don't know what I would do without her. She loves to help me out with everything and sometimes she gets to Teagan before I do when she is upset. I will hear a little whine or cry and by the time I get to Teagan, Hailey is already there giving her the binki, covering her up with her blanket, and saying shhhh baby shhhh. It really is the sweetest thing :]

This man amazes me. Look at how sweet he is with both of his little girls. I could not ask for a better husband or daddy. He works two jobs to support our family and that makes it possible for me to stay home and raise the kiddos. He is the love of my life, my best friend, my partner in crime, and so much more. I am so blessed that he picked ME to be his wife.

2012 has started off great for our family. I am excited to see what the future has in store for us and our girls. I'm hoping to get Hailey and Teagan into some gymnastics classes soon! Hailey loved it when she was a baby and it helped her learn some sign language that we want to teach Teagan as well. Tricks has such an amazing program for the kids when they are young. I'm excited just thinking about it. I on the other hand have been running! I plan to sign up for a half marathon towards the end of April. I'm really nervous but am motivated and pushing myself to get where I want to be. Jacob is busy working and being an excellent daddy and husband. He is enjoying his new construction job and working with his Dad everyday.

Hailey, Hailey, Hailey. Where do I even begin with this little lady? She has such a great, outgoing personality. It is so much fun for me to watch her grow and learn each day. Her vocabulary is huge now and she is talking non-stop. We have been working on her ABC's and 123's. She has also been working on her writing. She draws H's and T's (for Hailey and Teagan,) on everything. She remembers EVERYTHING we say and do these days. She can watch something one time and have it memorized, it amazes me. She still loves to snuggle which is nice because when she kind of reminds me of the energizer bunny. She is constantly running, jumping, dancing, etc. I love her so much and cannot believe how fast she is growing up.

Teagan aka Chubbs has been so much fun to have around. I know she is only two and a half months old but its hard for me to imagine how we got along without her. She is such a happy baby, smiling all the time. She is a chunker weighing in at 13 pounds 4 ounces! She is quite the strong little lady for her age. She holds her head up by herself and can sit up while holding onto our thumbs. She is a really good baby and already adores her big sister. She is perfectly content as long as she can see what Hailey is doing. Jacob laughs at me when I say it but it melts my heart, My girls are so sweet to each other.

That's the Rennick Family Update for now! I love, love, love my little family!!

Teagan Jane Rennick :]

Born November 15, 2011

7lbs 14oz

19.5 inches

Hailey absolutely LOVES her sister!

These two are my WORLD.

Only 5 more days until our second bundle of joy is due! Jacob, Hailey, and I are SO excited to meet our new addition. We have the nursery ready, the swing set up, and Jacob and I are the proud new owners of a 2011 Honda CR-V. We had to sell my Civic and get something a little bigger since our family is growing :] I have all these different emotions running through me as this pregnancy has been much different than my first. I am definitely ready to have my body back to a normal size as I feel like I am ten times bigger with this baby than I was with Hailey! I am also very anxious to see how Hailey responds to Teagan. We have been practicing being gentle and she tells me all the time that she is going to be mommy's helper. We have been trying to do as many things the three of us as we can before Hailey's life changes! She has been the center of our attention for the past two years and things are definitely going to be different once her baby sister gets here. We spent a few hours at this awesome place in Roseville called Wacky Tacky. Its a giant indoor play place with slides, ball pits, tunnels, and much more. Hailey had a BLAST and even got Daddy to go in a play with her for a while :]We also spent a beautiful day up at Apple Hill and the weather was perfect! We walked through all the little shops, watched the fishies in the pond, and of course got apples with caramel! We wanted to take Hailey on the pony ride but I guess we went up a week too early and they were closed :( she didn't know any better but I was pretty sad about that! After a few hours there we decided to head home. Hailey of course passed out on the way back and when she woke up we surprised her by being at the Pumpkin Patch. She had even more fun there that she did the previous year. This year she wanted to pull the wagon instead of riding in it. We saw all sorts of animals and told Hailey we could get whatever pumpkin she could lift up and give to Daddy. Let me tell you, she is one STRONG little lady! I could not believe some of the pumpkins she was picking up :] Anyways, we had a fabulous couple of family days. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful little munchkin and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of number two. The next time you hear from me on here I will probably have TWO adorable girlies at home :] Woohoo!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY HAILEY AUTUMN! I cannot believe my baby is already two years old. It is so bitter sweet watching her grow into the smart little lady she is. We had a blast with all our family and friends at Hailey's Tinkerbell Party a few weekends ago. She was spoiled as usual and her "big girl" room looks amazing. We had been going to the park and driving her new Tinkerbell quad at least a few times a week and she loves it. Too bad the rain is here :/ hopefully its not here to stay...Anyways, thanks to everyone who help us make her birthday special. Hailey is my pride and joy. Being a mommy is amazing and it is a true blessing to have such a sweet, caring, funny little girl to spend my days with. I LOVE YOU Hailey.

This Friday I will be 35 weeks pregnant! Teagan will be here before we know it and we are more excited than ever. Hailey is so excited to be a big sister :] Of course she says its her baby and we are trying to help her understand the concept of sharing. She has already picked out some of her toys and put them in Teagan's toy box, she is such a nice big sister! Only three more weeks of work for me. I am really going to miss some of my co-workers and kiddos BUT I am not going to lie, it is going to be so nice to stay at home with my girls. I can't wait for Teagan to be here!!

Time is flying by, in only THREE months we will have another adorable baby girl in our family. Teagan is due 11/11/11 and we could not be more excited!! Hailey is already an amazing big sister. She loves to come up to my stomach, lift my shirt a little, and then hug/kiss her baby. She always tells her "Love you teegee." How precious is that? The other afternoon my mom and sister were feeling for Teagan to kick, Hailey was not okay with everyone touching her baby so she ran over to me, climbed up, and layed on my belly so nobody could touch it. We are excited to see how she acts when Teagan is really here :]

We had a great 4th of July! This year we went to a family bbq at Beamy and Papa's house. Hailey loved being the center of attention as usual. She had a blast running through the sprinkler and passing the ball to and from everyone. After that we went to the Sunrise Mall and hung out there in our usual spot until it got dark. When the fireworks started Hailey kept saying Beeboo (beautiful) and then she got scared. She said loud, loud and put her fingers or mine in her ears. Overall she really liked them. Then we went back to my parents house where Hailey got to hold a sparkler for the first time. That was probably her favorite part of the night. However, she did not like the neighbors setting off picolo petes!

Hailey is officially potty trained! She wears panties during the day and a pull-up a night. A lot of the time she wakes up dry but im not going to rush the whole night-time training yet. She is such a big girl and loves to go potty on her big girl seat. She also loves to buy undies :] She seriously has about 25-30 pairs!!

I know it has been a while since I updated, however most of our family is here and gets to experience things with us so I tend to forget. Man, I don't even know where to start! Hailey is 21 months now and we are starting to plan her 2nd birthday party. I cannot believe she has been a part of our lives for two years already...it goes by way too fast! For the past couple weeks we have been potty training and she is doing a fabulous job. She has a chart and she gets to put her own stickers on whenever she uses her potty. She now goes back and fourth between pull ups and big girl panties :] The only thing we have not tried yet it going out in public with big girl panties only, I'm still a little nervous about that one but know we will have to do it soon!

Since the weather is FINALLY starting to warm up we have been playing outside in the water more often. She loves anything that has to do with water whether its throwing water balloons and sitting in sleds full of water with her aunties, running through the hose in our front yard, or splashing and kicking in her little mini pool. We are hoping that the pools are warm enough to swim in soon so we can start teaching her to swim. Auntie Larissa is convinced she will be swimming by the end of the summer!

Jorgie and I took Hailey to the Sacramento Zoo for the first time and she absolutely loved it. We stared at the flamingos for quite sometime and the tigers came in as her second favorite. She stood at the glass and said "rawr" and told him to "come on" so she could pet him. We also saw giraffes, monkeys, gorillas, kangaroos, some crazy kind of birds, and of course all the reptiles!

Our most recent exciting news is that we are EXPECTING Rennick Baby #2 in November!!! We are more thrilled for another wonderful addition to our family. We find out this Friday 6/24 if we are having a boy or girl. The pregnancy has been going well I am just feeling SUPER exhausted.

2011 is here and we are more excited than ever to see what the future holds for or family. Jacob continues to work at Olive Garden and UPS, both part time. We are hoping that he gets promoted to supervisor (at UPS) sometime this year! I am still coaching at Tricks and loving every moment of it. We just started our new team season and I will be coaching levels 4, 5, and 6 with one of my best friends Heidi. Hailey is growing like a weed :] and now has a mouth full of teeth. We recently took down her crib and put up a toddler bed. She still loves Mickey Mouse but Tinker Bell is now a close tie for her favorite.

We had a great Christmas and New Years with both sides of our family. Hailey was spoiled by everyone as usual and had tons of fun opening all her gifts. She even opened a few that were not hers because she enjoyed tearing the paper so much. Jacob took my wedding ring and the promise ring that he had given me while we were dating and had them made into one ring. The promise ring is the new wedding band. It is absolutely gorgeous and exactly what I wanted. For her years we visited with Jacob's family for a while then went to my parents house. We had snack and hung out with my grandparents. We also had a ping-pong AND tetris tournament! It was a lot of fun but we decided to head home before midnight. Hailey, Jacob, and I watched the ball drop on TV and then we let Hailey bang on pots and pans.

Our puppy is doing well and growing quickly. He is still doing great with Hailey and she absolutely adores him. Hailey also got to pick out a beta fish for her bedroom and she thinks it is one of the coolest things ever. She named him fish :] but when she says it, it sounds like shish. We have not been up to a whole lot besides enjoying life as a family and living each day as it comes. Our family little family it perfect and we could not ask for anything more!

PS - Hailey is pretty much obsessed with her Auntie Jorgie or JoJo as she calls her. Her Auntie Riss is moving on up though :] Whenever I ask her if she wants to go see Grandma and Papa she says "risssss!"

In late September Jacob, Hailey, and I bought a house! We had been in the process of looking for about five months when we finally found a house we fell in love with. Its a three bedroom, one bathroom, on a quarter of an acre. We have a huge backyard for Hailey to run and play in and have plenty of room to expand when the time is right.

Hailey helped us carve pumpkins and went Trick-or-Treating this Halloween. She had a blast at the pumpkin patch looking at the animals, riding on the wagon, and picking out her perfect pumpkin. We dressed her up as a little witch-fairy! We had planned on only taking her to a few houses just for fun and probably ended up going to about 30 homes! Everytime we walked up to a house and they answered the door they would say how cute or beautiful Hailey was. She of course, being the ham that she is would smile and say cheese. They would give her some candy and then she would toss it into her bucket and say "bye-bye." She ended up getting 5 king-size candy bars and filled up her entire pumpkin bucket.

A little over a week ago we got a new puppy! Hailey's Uncle Josh got it for her as an early Christmas present and she absolutely loves him. He is a black lab and we named him Devaki (which means black in Indian.) He is very loving and playful. Josh got a puppy for himself as well and he has been staying here at our house. It has been a little hectic working/playing with the two pups and Hailey but we are having fun.

Jacob recently wrote an essay and s hoping to get a supervisor position at UPS where he works in the evenings. He is enojoying his job and looking forward to moving up in the company. My level four team is having an amazing season. Two weekends ago we had our Zone meet where my girls took FIRST place as a team. They were thrilled and I loved seeing the smiles on their cute, little, faces. We are now training hard and getting ready for State Championships in a few weeks. I have the most rewarding job. It is a lot of fun for me to see things from the coaches point of view after already being a gymnast myself.

Anyways, this next week is Thanksgiving and we are looking forward to spending time with our families. We are also very excited to meet Theresa, Josh's girlfriend who is visiting from Santa Barbara. I cannot wait to spend some girl time with her and get to know her. Christmas is right around the corner too, this is just the best time of the year. This is what our family has been up to and I will be sure to update after the holidays.

Next Tuesday our baby girl will be one year old! I cannot believe how quickly the time passes. Jacob and I are planning her Mickey Mouse Clubhouse birthday party and I have mixed emotions. I absolutely love watching her grow and learn new things everyday but miss those days when I used to be able to sit on the couch and just hold her in my arms. The only time that happens now is when she is sleeping! She is incredbily smart and amazes us each day. Recently Hailey has learned the words; wow, papa, and baby. If you ask her how old she is she will hold up her little pointer finger. She picks up on things so quickly its incredible.
We are buying a house in Orangevale and should be able to move in by the end of this month. We are so excited, the house is super cute and perfect for our family. We will post pictures once we are all moved in and settled.Tomorrow my level four team has their very first competition. I think that I may be more excited than my girls! They have been training so hard for the past nine months and now it is time for them to show the judges what they can do. Go Tricks!

Hailey was in her first Gymnastics show Tricks - Tumble in the Jungle 2010. Some of our family came to watch her and she had a blast showing off for them. She went up and down some cheese mats, held onto the monkey cars, bounced on the trampoline with an alligator, played in the foam pit, and got her very first blue ribbon. She had such a good time with all her little baby friends; Magnolia, Mitchell, Aiden, and Supratick. We have a little performer on our hands!
My very first Mother's Day was excellent. We went over to my Aunt's house and had a big bbq with all my family. I could not have asked for anything more. My 22nd birthday also just passed. Jacob and Hailey surprised me with a little get together at our place when I got home from work. Jacob and I have also been super busy house hunting for the past few months.... We recently put everything on hold because he decided he wanted to apply for the CHP academy. The testing begins in a couple months and then we will know if he has been accepted or not. Other than that I have been enjoying coaching my Level Four Gymnastics team and hanging out with family. Our baby girl will be NINE months next week and I cannot believe it. We are having so much fun watching her grow and learn everyday. She has been trying to walk for a few weeks now and I feel like any day now she is going to go for it. Today she learned how to clap and thinks it is just about the best thing in the world (besides food or course!) Hopefully the weather will stay nice and we will get to take her swimming in the next few weeks. She absolutely loves bath-time so I can only imagine how much fun she will have in the pool!

Everyone says when you have child to enjoy each day because time flies...and wow it is so true. It's March and our little girl will be SIX months old this week. It really feels like she was just born yesterday. Our family has not been up to a whole lot the past few months. Hailey started her very first gymnastics class and absolutely loves it. She rolls down the wedge mats, swings in the giant swing, jumps on the trampoline, and plays with the parachute. I go with her every week and Jacob comes with us when he does not have work. She smiles and laughs the whole time she is there, it's so adorable to watch. She also loves to see the other babies! We recently took Hailey to the park for the first time. She liked going down the slide, swinging, and just being outside where she has so much to look at. Jacob and I have slowly began to search for a house. Hopefully these next few months we will speed it up and maybe even find something. We have way too much stuff for our little two-bedroom apartment and want to have more room for Hailey when she starts crawling (which will be SOON) and walking. Anyways, life is great and we are having so much fun being parents!

Christmas time was crazy-busy for our family but we had an excellent time and were spoiled by our families. Christmas Eve we went to Grandma Koehl's for dinner and gifts. Jacob's whole family was there including Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and Bart. It took us a few hours to open up gifts but we all had so much fun and got lots of neat things. After that we went to the Candle Light Service at Fair Oaks Presbyterian Church like we do every year. Then Christmas day we woke up and celebrated on our own for a little while. That afternoon we went to my parents house where the three of us got another load of presents. We ate dinner with my family and played a few games. My Aunt Debbie, Uncle George, and Cousins, (Brandon and Austin) opened Hailey a college fund and are going to put money in it twice a year. Overall we had the best Christmas ever thanks to our incredible families and friends. They all mean the world to us and we are so blessed to have them in our lives. We had a pretty calm New Years. We went over to my parents house where we ate dinner, played games, and just hung out. We celebrated at 9:00pm, East Coast time because we did not want to have Hailey out and about. After that we came home and watched the Countdown on TV. Hailey almost made it to 12:00am with us but was just too tired and eventually fell asleep in her swing at 11:30pm! It was a great end to 2009 for the Rennick Family :]

Hailey got here just in time for all the holidays. We did not dress her up or take her out trick-or-treating this year. She did however wear her little jammies that said, "My Little Pumpkin" to my parents house where we passed out candy. We ate nachos, (since that is our family tradition,) played games, and watched a movie. Hailey slept most of the time but did get to see her Grandma, Pappy, Aunties, and Uncle Joe.

Thanksgiving was a busy day for our family. We went to Grandma Koehl's for lunch and saw the whole family. Hailey spent some time with her Uncle Josh and Great Grandpa. After a few hours there we went over to my parents house for dinner. After we ate all that delicious food Jacob, Hailey, Jorgie, Pappy, and I went over to Beamy and Papa's house where Hailey met her Great, Great Grandpa. She had not taken a good nap all day so by the time we got over there she was pretty fussy. We were able to get a picture in with all five generations before she passed out in my arms. Next we went back to my parents for

dessert and games, thats when things got crazy. We were all tired and slap happy by then so the games were a little more exciting and hilarious than usual. Overall we had a wonderful Thanksgiving with our new family!!

Jacob and I have been together for about six years now. We met back in 2004 and have been crazy about each other ever since. We finally tied the knot this past July and are loving every second of our new life. Jacob is working at Olive Garden and UPS part time. I am coaching school-age and level four artistic gymnastics at Tricks. A few months after the wedding our little miracle, Hailey Autumn, arrived. We absolutely love being parents and are having a blast watching our daughter grow. She already has mommy and daddy wrapped around her finger! We will use this blog to keep family and friends up to date with how things are going for us. We are so excited that from here on out there will never be a dull moment in our lives and can't wait to see what the future holds for our new little family!
