Update!

Hey everyone! I haven't posted in almost a month, can't believe how much time flies! I've just been so busy with the babies and just life in general! Chrissie and Julie will be 7 weeks old tomorrow, I can't believe how big they are :) We have had them for almost 4 weeks now, and I just can't imagine life without them! The kids started school a while back, and they love it! Tristan and Colton have so much fun at school, Ryan likes seeing his friends, and Blake really doesn't care about anything. I miss Brielle so much, but she got married in the past month, found out she's pregnant, and even adopted a little baby! I'm so proud of her and how she matured in the last few months :) She is 20 and her husband Jasper is 21! Anyway, life has been great but busy. I did take the kids off school 2 weeks ago (their school is very flexible, they did there lessons on the trip) and took them all to the beach! We didn't go far or anything, we have our own beach house about 4 hours away on the coast of Cali. It was such a great time, I brought my work with me and Danny was able to take off 3 days! It was upsetting he couldn't take off the whole week, but he did the best he could. We left Sunday after church, of course we would never miss church! Duh. We arrived after dinner, we got dinner at Olive Garden on the road! While I unpacked, the kids swam in the pool until about 8 when I had to get the little ones in bed! Since we were on vacation, they all could stay up much later and it wasn't a problem :) Monday, we went to the beach for the day! We left around 10am and back around 4pm. We had lunch on the beach, we bought really good sandwiches at a stand nearby! The kids had so much fun splashing, playing, building sandcastles, and relaxing with me and the babies! It was a great day :) We ate out at a diner, and went to bed early because we were going to get up early to go to Six Flags! We left the house around 6 Tuesday morning and arrived at 7 right when it opened. We spent the morning in the little kids section with rides such as the small roller coasters for children and such. After lunch we went to the main section of the park and rode a lot of the main rides! I necessarily didn't, but Danny and Blake, with Ryan sometimes, did a lot! Wednesday and Thursday we just hung around the house/pool/beach, not necessarily doing anything superb exciting, but definitely still a relaxing and enjoyable vacation! We left Friday morning for back home, and spent the weekend doing nothing! This past week the kids did go to school, duh, of course! I worked, A LOT, because I had been slacking a little bit on our vacation! I need to earn enough money to support my family, duh. Anyway, I promise I will try to post a little bit more once I get into the swing of things, what with piles of work, plus house work, the babies, overall my kids, it just takes a lot of energy to just survive and push through it all! :D But I wouldn't change it for anything in the world, I love my family and love my life even more :)

Struggles!

Hey everyone! Some of you have been asking for me to talk about weird things throughout the day, so today I am going to talk about my pee issues today! This morning when I woke up all of the toilets were taken, so I panicked because I thought I was going to pee my pants! So I sprinted down the hallway, which caused the pee to dribble out because of the movement of my legs! I didn't want to make a mess so I stripped and squatted so it wouldn't run down my legs! After that, I put my thong back on and went into the kitchen to get a mop to clean up the pee! Turns out Tristan slipped in it, poor guy. I got him in the bath, where he had to pee but just went in the bath! No harm done, because there was already water in the bath! Then I just spent my morning normally and had lunch and all! Oh BTW the kids had off from school today. After lunch I had to go again, this time poop! It was bad, it felt like it was going to come out, but the bathrooms were taken up, again! So I ran outside, pulled my pants/thong off, and squatted at the tree and let the poop fly! When the kids saw it later, I blamed it on our puppy. A few hours later I had to pee bad but I was in the living room and knew I would never make it to the bathroom, so I stripped and peed in the potted plant in the living room! I guess it looked like I was having fun because Blake pulled off his pants and joined me! How amazing, bonding with my boys :D

Update!

Hey everyone! Today Chrissie held her head up on her own! Such progress :) They are 5 weeks and 3 days old today! I'm so proud of my baby girl! So, I have a lot to talk about. Miranda (Blake's girlfriend) went to the doctor today and got an ultrasound and everything. Turns out she isn't a month and a half, like she thought, but actually 3 months! I was so surprised, I didn't know Blake and her had dated that far back! But they only have been dating for 2 months, so the baby isn't Blake's! I'm really relieved, I knew it was going to be tough! She got a DNA test, and the baby is her ex-boyfriend Zach's baby! Just so glad it's not Blake's baby :)
Also, I have some bad news. Brielle lost her baby! I'm upset about it, because it's a little different than Blake's situation! She is almost 19 years old, and I wish she would have had her baby! She loved him/her so much, that I could tell when she came to visit. Brielle is really struggling right now, I don't know if she will be okay! I really hope she will be fine, I'm planning on visiting her tonight! My plane leaves at 10, right now I'm in the airport waiting room, boarding in a few minutes! I think she really needs the comfort of a mother.

Issues at the Pool!

Hey guys! Last night, we went to our friends pool! We are allowed to use it when they aren't home and all, but we can't get into their house or anything, just the pool. So on the way there, Colton had to pee! He could barely make it till we got there, and almost peed his pants! He just stripped and peed in the bushes, though. Part way through swimming, Tristan had to pee too! Water just makes you have to go a lot. He refused to use the bush, because Colton already went their and the ground was probably wet with pee! So, he cried until I went to the car and brought out a old thermos, so he peed in that and dumped it on the ground! The rest of our time was great, we played Marco Polo and Guess that President! Such fun pool games. But then, the ride home was awful! Right after we started the drive, Blake had to pee and said it was so bad he thought he was going to pee his pants, seriously! We were on the highway and all so we couldn't pull over, and he was serious! So I found a plastic cup on the floor, so I handed it to him and he stripped, peed in it, and dumped it out the window! Watching him pee, Ryan had to go so he did the same thing! Half-way through our drive home, I had to pee too, really bad! I seriously thought I was going to wet myself if I couldn't go right away. So I unbuckled, shimmied my pants off, and peed in the plastic cup! It was a little tricky, considering I'm a girl and all that, but it wasn't impossible! So I dumped it out and window and put the cup back on the floor! I'm sure our peeing cup with definitely come in handy in the future ;)

School!

Hey everyone, school has started for the Davis family! Yesterday was our first day. Blake goes to Middle School, and his bus comes at 7, his school starts at 7:40! Ryan's bus comes at 7:45, and I drive Colton to Pre-K at 8! Kayla (our babysitter) comes at 7 so she can watch Tristan and the babies while I drive Colton, so it's a little easier to me! I got home from dropping Colton off, and nursed the girls and put them down for their morning nap! I worked until about 11pm, while Kayla played with Colton! At 11pm I nursed the girls, and Kayla made lunch/watched the kids while I worked again until 12, when she had to leave! I didn't get all of my work done, but I got close! After lunch, I played with Tristan for a little bit and then he had to get put down for his nap at 2, along with the girls! I worked some more, and I did some laundry and just cleaned! At 3 Blake got home and did his homework, and at 3:40 Ryan got home! I did have to go pick up Colton at 3:30, though, so Blake watched the kids, who were mostly still napping! When I got home the older boys did their homework, I nursed the girls and woke Tristan up from his nap, and he went to play with Colton! Then, I made dinner for us all, but while it was cooking Tristan was crying so I went to see what was up! Turns out Colton was hogging the toilet (again) and since Tristan was feeling self consious today and didn't want Colton to see him naked, he peed in the hallway! It was a mess to clean up, but next time I just told Tristan to use our second bathroom! After dinner, they watched TV and then it was time for our bedtime routine! Colton, Tristan, Blake, Ryan, and I all had to pee at the same time again, which wasn't good! Luckily, Blake went into the other bathroom. Colton got the toilet and Tristan got the trashcan. I thought I was going to be able to hold it but watching the pee come out of them I thought I was gonna pee my pants, like seriously, so I stripped and I peed on the floor, could't make it to the tub until I was half-way through my peeing! After that, we got ready for bed and I put them to bed and then Danny got home! We were about to go to brushing our teeth when we both had to pee! I let him use the toilet first, but like earlier watching him go made me need to go, immediately! So I began to pee as soon as he did, but I still had a thong on so I whipped it off mid-pee and just ended up peeing on the floor again! Oh well.

Amazing Weekend!

Hey guys, so I have a had a terrific weekend with my family! Other than Brielle of course, which is really upsetting :( I miss her so much, but I'm going down next weekend to see her! And she is coming down for a few days for her birthday, September 3rd, which I'm really excited about! She is going to be 19! Crazy, right? ;) So last night we went out to dinner as a family (first time since Juliana and Chrissie were adopted!) at 99ers! 99ers is a really yummy restaurant, similar to Applebees but I prefer 99ers because they have better food. I got a ceasar salad, Colton and Ryan got chicken tenders, Tristan got mac and cheese, Blake got parmesan chicken, and Danny got steak! Oh and the babies obviously didn't order any food. It was a great night, just to catch up with the kids because life will just get busier once school starts! Acually, I need to update you on that! Brielle is 18, turning 19 September 3rd, and she is a freshman in college! Blake is 13, he turns 14 November 27th and will be in 8th grade, Ryan is 9 and turns 10 April 15th, he is going into 4th grade, Colton is 4 and will be turning 5 December 25th, and will be doing full-week half day! Tristan is 2 and turns 3 May 24th, he will be going into Tuesday Thursday, half day Pre-school! It will be his first year of school, so I'm worried how that will turn out because he is very clingy and has trouble being without me! Today was an average Sunday, we went to church as a family and then went out to lunch at Super Salad! The little boys don't like salad, but since Danny and I love this place and he didn't have to work until 2, we decided to go there! They do have a kids meal with mac and cheese, chicken fingers and such so it worked out fine. When Danny left for work I played with Juliana and Chrissie while Tristan, Ryan, and Colton played outside! I am worried about school because I have a lot of work being the main editor of Madison Magazine, plus my website design business is expanding. So, I decided to hire a babysitter! Her name is Kayla and she will be here 7am-12pm, Monday Wednesday, Friday, so Tristan has something to do, and she can watch the babies for me when they aren't napping or anything! It's only for the morning though because it would be too much for her to be here all day long, but the morning should be enough time for me to get most of my work done, and then finish in the evenings when the kids are in bed! I'm really excited for the coming school year, because it might be easier during the day with most of my kids in school :)

Past Few Days!

Hey everyone! I haven't posted since Wednesday, it's just been pretty crazy around here! Thursday was just an average day, though. I woke up and got some work done after nursing the girls, and then when the little boys woke up I made them breakfast and played with them until Ryan got up and played with them! I had a really busy day at work because I had a lot of emails for my website design business and a lot of editing for my magazine so Blake watched the girls (punishment) while I worked until about noon and then I made lunch! I made grilled cheese on whole wheat bread, cucumbers, apples, carrots and dip, and some oreos! It was Tristan's favorite lunch! Colton's favorite lunch is pasta with sea salt (Brielle loves this one too!), grapes, oranges, and a chocolate chip cookie! After lunch Tristan had a really bad belly ache so he was on the potty trying to poop for about an hour when Colton said he had to go! Well Blake was in the shower and we only had 2 bathrooms, but Tristan wouldn't budge off the toilet! He said the poop was about to come! I thought he was trying to make Colton pee his pants. Colton started to cry and said the pee in his bladder was causing his belly pain, so he stripped down and went over to the trashcan and peed in it! I didn't mind, the boys pee in there all of the time! I also had to pee very very badly, I thought I was going to wet my pants it was that bad! So I stripped down and peed in the sink! While Tristan was pooping in the toilet, Colton peeing in the trashcan, me peeing in the sink, Ryan came in having to pee and when he saw all of us peeing/pooping he stripped down and peed in the tub! We really do need to get another bathroom. Thursday afternoon I just played with the kids and all until Danny got home! Blake was watching the kids so Danny and I went into the bathroom and stripped and got in the shower together for a little alone time, but we forgot to lock the door so Tristan walked in, having to pee, while we were locking lips! We didn't notice, so he was peeing and so was Colton, while Danny and I were in the shower! Like I mentioned, we really need more bathrooms!

Friday was just a long boring day, nothing much to talk about except that Brielle was here, which really helped me out! Turns out she's pregnant, not going to talk much on that subject check her blog if you want to hear about it! Today was another average day, not much happened! I was reading my favorite blog online, www.marvelouskaitlyn.blogspot.com and her family's pee routine seemed amazing, so we did it! Colton, Tristan, and I stripped and all peed at the same time in the tub! It was magical :)
