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 :)

The New Baby!

Hey everyone! You all have probably been wondering about Miranda and her baby, plus how the dinner with her and her family went! So we got to their house around 5pm, and we sat down for dinner. Miranda's face was red and blotchy I could tell she had been crying all day! I gave her a hug, and then sat down with Blake to eat! Blake had kinda not said anything all day, just sits there with a blank look on his face. Just in shock I guess! Well we started out the dinner with casual conversation, and then her dad cleared his throat and shot a glance at Miranda. So, she looked over to me and said she was deciding between keeping the baby or putting it up for adoption but wanted my opinion, same with Blake! Blake said he didn't mind which as long as the baby was alive and happy somewhere. I thought that was really sweet! I thought it would be best if they put the baby up for adoption because she is only 14 for heaven's sake and can't handle taking care of a baby! As soon as I finished Miranda started crying again so I was a little worried and looked at her mom and her mom said under her breath she wants Miranda to give the baby up too, even though Miranda wants to keep the baby! I was telling Miranda that if she really wanted to keep her baby she had to be up for the never ending responsibilities of a newborn, it wasn't like she could return it after a few days! She said tomorrow she is going to go look for a job to support her and her child, and that no one can force her to give the baby up because it is her and Blake's baby. I fully support her, because she can do what she wants! Plus, of course, it is my first grandchild :) We left their house around 7pm and since them we haven't really done anything, Blake played with the boys outside for a while and I made out on the couch with Danny! Juliana and Chrissie were in the living room with us and they obviously saw, but that's okay! Also, Tristan and Colton came in and watched for a little bit, they are quite fascinated by that type of thing! :)

Crazy Morning!

So far today has been so super crazy! I was woken up around 1am by the girls, which was normal, but their crying woke up Tristan! When he started crying I went to him and he said he had to go potty. So I took him to the bathroom, still nursing Chrissie in the middle of all this. He sat on the potty and just grunted for a little, he had to poop. I finished nursing Chrissie because I ran out of milk (sorry if TMI) so I went to the fridge to get her some formula because she didn't have enough! This happens all of the time, because I have twins, one baby is always eating formula! I try to switch it up though so it doesn't always happen with the same baby. So, after Chrissie was sleeping, I went to check on Tristan and he was crying on the potty! He said he had to poop and it hurt bad and he also had a pain in his belly. He said it was poop pain not throw up pain. So I just squat next to him until about 2am, reading him stories and trying to cheer him up! At 2:30 he finally pooped, at this point we were both exasted and I knew I would be up an hour later with the girls! So I got Tristan in bed, glad that was taken care of, and on my way to my room I heard noises from Blake's room! I knocked on the door, didn't hear anyone get up, so I went in only to find him and his girlfriend making out on his bed yet again! This time his hands were up her skimpy tank and she was just wearing underwear! He was shirtless in his boxers. I flipped yet again, I told him he couldn't sneak her in anymore! She left in a hurry, dressing on the way out. I locked the window from the outside so no one could get in, and I locked him in his bedroom. From yesterday's episode he was already grounded for a week, until next Tuesday, but because of this he will be grounded for another week yet! I just can't believe him. So by the time I was in bed it was 3am, and I was woken up at 6 by Tristan and Colton, they were ready to get up! So I made breakfast (oatmeal and fruit) and let them watch morning cartoons while I nursed the girls! I unlocked Blake's door at 7pm and gave him breakfast, and then had him watch the babies while I drove the little boys soccer camp at 8! When I got home I just got some cleaning/laundry done around the house while Blake watched the girls (punishment) until about 11 when I had to feed them again and put them down for their nap! I made lunch for us 2 (nutella and strawberry jam) with cucumbers and apples and then I went to my computer to get some work done! At 12 I heard a knock on the door, Blake was in his room so I went to get it! Turns out it was his secret girlfriend, her name is Miranda. Well Miranda was crying and said she really needed to talk to Blake. I felt bad, so I let her into his room except I was positioned outside of the closed door, listening. You won't believe what she told him! Oh, she is 14 by the way. She said, "Blake, I'm pregnant" at this point I barged in and completely flipped, he is 13 for heavens sake! She just cried harder and Blake kinda just stood there, not knowing what to do, so I told her to go sit in the living room while I freaked out at Blake, so angry at him! I sent Miranda home and grounded Blake for another 2 weeks, so he is grounded for a total of a month! I called Miranda's mom and Blake and I are going over to their house for dinner to just discuss things. After Miranda left I locked Blake back in his room and am now just on the computer, working and blogging!

Relationship with Danny

Hey everyone! I have been getting some requests to do this post about my love life and how Danny and I manage to keep up our close relationship together and find some us time with 6 kids, 5 living with us! The answer is it is very tough and tricky at times because of our kids ages and Danny's heavy work schedule, but we make it work! Our top rule is to have an hour together every day! Sometimes it doesn't happen, and that's okay, as long as we have time together. We spend out time together in many different ways! Some times we cuddle on the couch and have a heavy make-out session together. We do that in front of the babies, because they don't understand anything! But we don't do it in front of Tristan and Colton that often. Sometimes, when we just can't hold it in, we do make-out seriously in front of them, but the longest time they have ever seen us do that in a row is 47 minutes. So, not long! If we are watching TV with Blake we usually cuddle and I sit on Danny's lap and we just kiss the whole time, Blake usually doesn't mind and likes to get tips when he gets a girlfriend! Today we did figure out he has a secret girlfriend, so I'm not sure if he is using out kissing techniques on her, I hope not because sometimes we do some inappropriate things around him! But most of our us time is when we are in bed with each other, when we don't have to hold anything in! It's pure ecstasy, I love him so much and have him all to myself for hours each night! Sometimes the kids need things in the middle of the night, when we are sleeping, which can sometimes be awkward because we sleep naked for obvious reasons that I do not want to address here because I know children read my posts. So my kids are completely used to seeing Danny and I naked! It's not a problem for us, we are a very close knit family. And, to complete this post, I wanted to address one more thing! Once a week, on Danny's off day, we try to get all of the kids out of the house, either to friends houses or babysitters, because we love having alone time! When we are alone in the house we are usually naked, it's just a great way to express our love for each other. Always make sure to keep your relashionship with your spouse close knit, because it creates a positive environment for your children and provides them with great role models for their future marraiges! If you want me to talk more about my love life with Danny, just comment below :)

Fun!

Hey everyone! So yesterday was a fun but relaxing day :) I told you about the morning, but I stopped around 10am! At 10:15 am Juliana spit up a lot all over my new top, which was not the best! I put her in her playpen with Chrissie and went to go do laundry! I got my load in by 11:00, and then 11:30 I put all that in the dryer and did a load of the girls clothes! That was done by noon, so I took my laundry out of the dryer and folded that and put it away, and put the girls clothes in the drier! At 12:30 that was done so I folded and put away their stuff. All throughout this the little girls where just laying next to each other "talking" to me while I read a magazine and got a little bit of work done! At 1 I started off feeding Chrissie, burped her and put her down for her nap by 1:30, and then nursed, burped, and got Juliana down for her nap by 2! I did some editing work until 3, worked on emails for my website design company until 4:30, and woke the girls up from their nap and nursed them again and played with them for a little until 5, when I had to go pick the boys up from their camp! It was a 10am-5pm camp, lunch and dinner included! I picked up Blake from work right after that, he works long hours trying to earn some money! When I got home around 5:45 Blake watched the girls for me, which was really sweet of him! Times like these when I really miss Brielle and her help with my past little babies. Tristan and Colton were outside playing catch, I can't believe how they still have energy after a day of soccer camp! I started on dinner at 6:00pm, I made stuffed shells with green beans! While it was cooking I was texting Danny, he planned to be home around 8pm! At 6:30 Blake went outside to call the boys for dinner, while I got Chrissie and Juliana's carseat-chair into the kitchen so I could watch them while we all ate! We prayed, and then dug in! Dinner was over around 7pm, and the little boys went to watch TV with big brother Blake and I cleaned up dinner, and fed/burped the girls! They aren't eating baby food yet, they are still just drinking my breast milk, they are 4 weeks old! At 7:45 I went into the living room and watched a little TV with the kids and then at 8 Blake was on his computer in the living room, with one eye on the girls just in case they needed me or something! I gave the boys a bath, they still love taking double baths! Part way through this process, Blake called me so I told the boys not to stand up and only call me if there was blood or fire. So turns out Chrissie spit up from being fed and Blake wasn't sure what to do, so I cleaned her up and I heard some loud yells from the bathroom, so I ran down the hall onto the fall on my butt, slipping on one of their toys! I think I may have twisted my ankle, it was really sore and hurt a lot. But when I got into the bathroom I just found the boys, covered in suds, out of the bathroom, bare naked, Tristan sitting on the bathroom counter, peeing in the sink, and Colton, peeing in the toilet! I kinda freaked, wondering what in the world was wrong, and Tristan told me him and Colton both had to pee and Colton got to the potty first and Tristan had to go really bad so he climbed onto the counter and went in the sink! Why he didn't just go into the other bathroom, I'll never know, but whatever! So they were finished with their bath so I got them dried off, drained the bathtub, and got them all dressed and ready for story time at 8:30 until 8:45 when I put them to bed! They actually got to stay up late tonight, which was a treat :) Turns out Danny was held up at work, he wasn't home until 9, which was really disappointing for the boys since they didn't get to see Daddy all day. Blake went back to his room around 9:30, but I know he was up until about 11! I fed the girls one last time around 10, and Danny helped me put them to bed. Danny and I cuddled on the couch/made out for a while, sorry if TMI just telling about my day! :) We went to bed around midnight, happy to finally spend some time together!

Today, Tuesday, wasn't quite as busy! I was woken up a few times in the night by the babies, so I was tired, but Danny had off, which was a plus! I woke up at 7am with Tristan and Colton. I made waffles with fruit and whipped cream for them, and Danny took them to soccer camp at 7:30! Chrissie and Juliana woke up, crying and hungry, at 8 so I fed them, burped them, and played with them in their playpen until 9am when Blake woke up and I had to make him breakfast! He's 13, I think he should make his own breakfast, but he refuses. ;) I made him pancakes with butter and syrup! He retreated back to his room right when Danny came back at 9:15! We just made out on the couch again, sorry if TMI, for about an hour until Blake interrupted and told us he was walking over to a friends house! Then, I had to get some work done until about 11:30, while Danny played with the girls. After I made us lunch (ham and cheese with popcorn and brownies) I fed Chrissie while Danny fed Juliana! We have formula for times when I don't feel like nursing two babies! It sure is a challenge. ;) I put them down for a nap at 1, and then Danny and I did laundry and cleaned the house for awhile! When I walked into Blake's room to vacuum, I saw a disturbing sight! Blake! He was supposed to be at our neighbors house, but here he had stuck into his room with a girl of all people, and they were just making out on his bed, him without a shirt and she was wearing a mini-skirt and skimpy tank! I walked in there, so mad, and she left in a hurry and he kinda just hid in the bathroom while I yelled at him. Danny came in to talk with him while I went to the girls, because my yelling had woken them from their nap. I got them back asleep and worked on my computer until 4, when I headed out to pick up the boys from soccer camp! I got back at 5, and started dinner right away! We just had pasta and sweet corn. At 6, Danny fed the girls again, I was too tired to! I gave the little boys baths at 6:30, and I had to leave in the middle of their bath again because I had to go talk to Blake! He was just laying in bed, sad, because he missed his girlfriend. I didn't even know he had a girlfriend, apparently he has been sneaking out to her house for the past month! How in the world could I have missed that, I have no idea. But when I heard more crying form the bathroom, I had to leave in a rush! Colton was standing a few feet from the toilet, peeing on the wall, and Tristan was sitting on top of the trashcan! I freaked again, I hate having pee stains on the wall! It does happen a lot. I asked him why he didn't just pee in the toilet, but he said there was a spider on the seat and he really had to go! I had no idea why he didn't just pee in the tub or somewhere easy to clean up, but he thought peeing on the walls would be funner! I just don't understand him sometimes. And, Tristan was pooping in the trashcan, he had to go bad and since there was a spider on the toilet seat, he just went for the trashcan! I killed the spider, put Tristan on the toilet (luckily he didn't go in the trashcan yet) and cleaned up Colton's mess! That was done by 7:15, so right now the boys are getting dressed while I am in the living room, blogging! :)

Weekend Fun!

Hai guys! So this weekend was pretty fun, but busy. Thursday we just hung around the house, I was trying to get the babies used to everything, but they were doing really well! I originally thought I was going to call Juliana, Jules, but we decided she will go by Julie! Julie and Chrissie. Friday a few of my friends came by to meet Julie and Chrissie and they were little baby angels! So far, they have barely cried at all, and Chrissie only gets up 3 times a night and Juliana gets up 5! Such an improvement from my other babies. Friday night we went out to dinner, which was slightly frustrating because of the babies, but do-able! Friday night I skyped with Brielle, the first time she had seen the girls! She was so excited to see them when we visit the end of August. Saturday we actually drove down to the beach! We checked into the beach club around 10am, and got lunch there and went to the beach for the afternoon! Danny mostly played in the water with the boys while me and my babies were just under the umbrella. It was a great day! We went to dinner, and then shopped around the boardwalk for the evening! It's so different without Brielle, I miss my little shopping partner. But, it was still super fun! We woke up Sunday and went out to the beach early morning, and then had lunch and checked out! It was a super quick trip, but definitely worth the fun! Sunday afternoon I skyped with Brielle and got caught up on a TON of work while the babies napped, and then made dinner for everyone. Danny had to work all afternoon and evening and didn't get home until late :( This morning I was waken up at 3am with Juliana, she was spitting up and getting it all over her crib and me. Chrissie slept right through it though! Colton and Tristan are at a friends house, Blake is at work, so it's just me and the girls :)

Amazing Week!

Hey everyone! So I'm sorry about not posting all week, but I was in Ireland for a few days with my babies! Last time we talked it was Monday night on the plane on the way to Ireland! We arrived in the Dublin, Ireland Airport at 3am and by the time we got our rental car it was 4am and we got to our hotel around 5! Danny and I just slept until about noon, and then went out to brunch together at 1! We took a nap when we got back to the hotel before going out to dinner and shopping in Dublin! It was amazing, everything is so pretty! :) Wednesday morning we woke up early because we were both just so excited! We woke up around 6am and left our hotel at 7am, and got to Alana's house around 9am to meet Jules and Chrissie! They were so well behaved, they just smiling and cooed whenever someone spoke to them! Danny and I each held a baby for awhile and just talked with Alana about what she's gone through and visiting times! Alana really wants to visit her babies a lot, which will be tough. We did have one disagreement, though. Alana wants the babies to be brought up calling Danny and I uncle and aunt and making sure they know Alana is their Mommy. I highly disagree with that, we are adopting these babies and taking full custody of them, so why can't they believe we are their parents until they are old enough to understand adoption? It was worked out though, Alana can come to visit whenever she wants to (which won't be much, because she obviously lives in Ireland!) but I'm not budging on the parents thing. We had lunch with Alana and her parents, and then went back to the hotel to skype with the kids and show them Jules and Chrissie! They were napping, so they were extra special adorable :) I love them so much! Wednesday night we just chilled in the hotel and had dinner there, because we just wanted to spend time with our new daughters! Thursday morning we left for the airport around 6am, and our flight left at 10am! It was a 9 hour flight because we were flying into the wind and that just takes longer! During the flight the girls were angels, just sleeping or being a quiet little baby! We only had 2 seats though so it was a little cramped, but it worked out just fine! We arrived in LA at 7pm, where my friend Darla picked us up! When we got home everyone just wanted to see the girls, so we didn't do anything that night! Today was the same, just adjusting to life with two little baby girls, but I love it :)

Plans for the Week!

Hey everyone! So right now I am on the plane to Ireland to meet my baby girls! I am so excited, I can't wait to see them! We arrived at the airport around 4, and got through security and baggage by 6, and then we had about 40 minutes until boarding time! I skyped with the kids for a while, I missed them already! My friend Darla's husband is off work all week, so he is home with their kids and Darla is staying at my house taking care of my kids! They all know Darla pretty well, so it shouldn't be too tough on them. We boarded at 6:40 and the plane took off at 7! Right now it's almost 8pm, so we are about an hour into the 8 hour flight! I'm hoping to sleep a lot! Oh and I forgot to mention, Danny is with me obviously :) So when we arrive in Ireland at 3am, we won't get to our hotel until about 5am and we will most likely just sleep for awhile! We won't be able to meet our babies until Wednesday anyway. We don't have any plans tomorrow, just probably shopping and seeing some sights in Ireland! Thursday morning around 10am we are going to Alana's house, Alana is the 13 year old girl who had the girls! She really doesn't want to give up the babies, but its the only way. We will spend the afternoon with her at her house, and then back to the hotel with the twins! Our flight leaves Wednesday morning at 10am, so we will leave for the airport around 6am! We will arrive back in LA 7am, it will be a 9 hour flight because we are flying into the wind and that takes longer. Danny and I didn't want to make this trip really long, because we knew we would miss the kids and just want to get settled at home with the babies! :)

Weekend Fun! (BIG NEWS)

Hey everyone! So this weekend was actually pretty fun, if I can say so myself :) Saturday was a really relaxing day, I didn't have to work and just spent the day with my family and friends! I actually got to sleep in until 10am, because Danny was home and got the kids breakfast and ready for the day and all that because he thought I deserved a break! Don't I have the best husband :) We went to the Localist Cafe for lunch, which was really yummy! My friend Julia stopped by for a few hours in the afternoon to catch up with me and see the kids, because she hadn't seen me since Tristan was a newborn! She is a widow, her husband Jeff died a few years ago, but she has 4 kids and is engaged/pregnant! Her oldest is 14 year old Angela, 12 year old Dan, 9 year old Abby, and 5 year old Amelia! Her husband Jeff didn't even get to meet his daughter Amelia, he died when Julia was pregnant, right before she even found out :( But now Julia is engaged to Jared, and he is really sweet and all and she is even 7 months pregnant! That was one of the main reasons they decided to get married, the wedding is this fall after the baby is born. Back to my weekend! I made dinner for us, pasta, meatballs, and grilled cheese, and then we had a family movie night! The kids even got to stay up late! After they were all in bed, Danny and I just had some time together before we retired! Sunday was a very very exciting day! We went to church, which was fun, everyone was really nice to us and Adri was even mentioned in the service! We went out to dinner with our church friends and got home around 2. Colton, Tristan, Ryan, and Blake were playing outside when we got the phone call. Danny answered and turned white, I thought it was going to be bad news but it is fantastic news! We are adopting! So back when I had 6 miscarriages before Colton was born, Danny had put us on the adoption list! I didn't even know at the time, Danny had been meaning to surprise me with the news when we moved to the top of the list! Well, when we had Colton he completely forgot about it. But, we got a call saying we are at the top of the list for twin babies! I was completely surprised, almost passed out with the news. I was first so upset, because it was Adri's one week passing date and I didn't really want more babies. But then I thought it would be nice, and as soon as I saw pics of the babies I fell in love! They were born in Ireland, to a teenage girl was 13 and put them up for adoption. Here is a picture -

The larger twin in the left is Aibhlinn, (ave-leen) and the smaller twin on the right is Branna, (bran-na). They are both girls, you probably can tell by the flower headbands! They are 3 weeks old, as of yesterday! Aibhlinn and Branna are obviously Irish names, and we will not keep those as first names. The baby on the left will be Juliana (Jules) Aibhlinn Davis, and the baby on the right will be Crystal (Chrissie) Branna Davis! Aibhlinn means "longed for child" and Branna means "raven" in other words "beauty with hair as dark as a raven". I guess we'll see if those are true! 

So I am so super excited to meet my baby girls, we actually are leaving today! As soon as we talked to the kids yesterday and skyped with Brielle about it, we called back and told them we decided to adopt! We packed all last night and are leaving for the airport around 3pm for Dublin, Ireland! Our flight leaves at 7pm, and we will arrive around 3am! More details to come about our trip later :) Wish us luck!

First Week

Hey everyone! So this week has been the first without my 2 baby girls :( I'm so sad about Adri, and about Brielle. Of course, the situation with Brielle is different, but its still hard! I'm happy to know that she is having a lot of fun and enjoying life up in NYC, though! This week was typical, nothing very exciting! The little boys had tennis camp for the mornings, and Ryan had baseball camp for the mornings. And Blake worked three mornings a week, and the other two he was usually with his friends. It was just me around the house! That can be kind of depressing for me, because I would usually spend time like that with Adri or Brielle. But, I did catch up on some work! I had neglected it all weekend, so I really needed to get going. This summer, I already told you about our plans, we are going to our mountain house later this August with my family! It will be really relaxing and fun, which I am really looking forward too! This past Friday was Adri's funeral, though, so I just saw my family. I'm not really comfortable talking about that experience, it makes me really upset. The one even sadder thing was that Brielle couldn't make it! She didn't have class or anything, but had some meetings with school friends that she couldn't miss. It was awful! But anyway I will go back to posting regularly now since things are a little bit back to their normal routine. :)
