Using Arduino and XbeeXBee at the same time

I have 2 Arduino Uno'sUnos, 2 XbeesXBees and 2 Wireless Proto Shields. The first setup has a humidity/temperature sensor (SHT21P) and it writes data to serial and it works (i'veI've tested it). 

Now I have, the other Arduino with shield and Xbee-XBee is plugged in my PC to get data from the sensor. So here's the problem-: as far as I understand, I can't use XbeeXBee and Arduino at the same time, because USB and Arduino both use TX RX/RX pins to communicate to PC/XbeeXBee. I've tested both of the XbeesXBees when they are powered with DC jack and they both work. So can anyone confirm that it's true that they're not made for being used by PC and Arduino at the same time? If so-, how can I get the data to my computer?
