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 :)
