The Birth Story

2011-04-30T21:50:00.000-07:00

So for journaling purposes this will be pretty long. It all started April 16 all night long I was feeling really crampy. I even had a dream that I was going to start my period. Well I woke up Sunday morning feeling sore and blah but we got ready to go church. While in sacrament meeting I couldn't hold still. I was just hurting nonstop. I had gotten up and stood in the corner, went to the bathroom several times, Steve tried rubbing my back nothing was really making me feel better. Not only was I really uncomfortable I was really having trouble breathing. So Steve suggested we go home. So on our way home he told me to call the doctor on call. The answering service told me that Dr. Tutt was on call well the last time I had called the answering service he was also on call and never called me back so I wasn't really impressed, and thinking he probably might not even call me back. Sure enough I was home for five minutes and he called back and he told me to go in to OB at Gateway hospital and get checked out. By this point I was kind of emotional because I really didn't want to go in. I figured it was just pre-labor and I was being a wose. I just wanted to take some Tylenol and take a nap, but Steve was really worried so off we went. We get there and of course hooked me up to all the monitors and the babies really wouldn't hold still to get a good enough reading of how they were doing. Of course I was having contractions. I felt better to know that I wasn't there for no reason. They had talked to the doctor and were trying to decide what to do with me. At that point I was wanted to get done and get out of there. It was April birthdays at my grandma's house and I really wanted to go and get some cake. I was starting to get super hungry and when I get hungry I get grouchy. Well Steve can't stand to sit in one spot for a long time either so he was getting frustrated too. Well after like forever Dr. Tutt came back in and said that the babies heart rate wasn't the best and my contractions were two to three minutes apart but I was only dialated to a one and 70% effaced. And my asthma wasn't the best and they had given me a breathing treatment but it really wasn't helping. Once I got back in a room they were asking if I wanted to stop the contractions or let them continue to try to have the babies. I was mixed feelings with this because I was at the point where I was just miserable and wanted them to come already but I was worried about the babies and wanted to make sure that they would be ok. I finally decided to have them stop the contractions. The nurse came back in and gave me a shot of tributaline. Which by the way burned really bad I thought that I could just have it in my IV boy I was wrong. So like two seconds later I started coughing then it got really bad. I couldn't breath at all so they gave me some oxygen and even that wasn't working. I started going in and out of being so tired that I couldn't stay awake. Steve and the nurse kept trying to wake me up and slow my breathing down. I just couldn't and even when I tried it would make me cough more. So after like forever I finally was able to breath a little bit better but what you know it didn't stop my contractions. It was a while later after I was to eat dinner which at that point I was super hungry and the hospital food wasn't half bad but my contractions slowed down and everything seemed to be getting better. The next morning my doctor came in and he was really upset when he was talking to me. It felt like he was mad at me. It was not like him at all. He told me ok bedrest and I needed to go and get another 3D ultrasound which I had been getting every two weeks. He also made me get a steroid shot to develop the babies lungs in case they were going to come soon. Everyone told me that those shots were so horrible so I was expecting the worse but the doctor had just checked me which was totally not comfortable and so since I was stressed over that I didn't even hardly feel the shot in the butt. So later I came to find out that Dr. Tutt never even called my doctor and was angry because he has been super careful this whole pregnancy since it took us so long to get pregnant. I had to go in the next morning to the hospital the get the second steroid shot which this time hurt but it wasn't that bad. Then we had to wait a while because I had appointment with my doctor but we had to get the shot exactly 24 hours after the first one and the first one was given at like 8 in the morning. So we went over to Bookman's and walked around even though I was supposed to be on bed rest, I know shame on me. But what else were we supposed to do not go all the way home. I called to cancel the Ultrasound appointment because I figured I was just at the hospital that morning getting monitored and got another shot. Well my doctor got really mad and said call them back and get back in. Thankfully I got back in. I was still having trouble breathing and wasn't very comfortable. At the ultrasound place my breathing was getting worse. The babies were not doing good on the monitors at all. The ultrasound doctor was really worried and went and called my doctor right away. She said go straight to the hospital. Back at the hospital we walk in and were really confused and didn't know what was going on. There was like 10 different nurses coming in and out of our room telling us all kinds of stuff. Then a nurse said ok we are going to get you stabilized and have babies in the morning. So we were good with that we knew what was going to happen. Then the next thing we know the doctor had called and said that he was making the hospital do another ultrasound and see how they were doing and go from there. Well I wasn't very happy because of course once again I was starving and the one nurse could get the IV in the first time so I had been poked twice. I got lucky because thankfully my cousin Mindy works in OB at Banner Gateway and she happen to be on for that night. So once I had her everything seemed to get a little less stressful. Well after what seemed like forever the ultrasound person came at like the same time my food did to do the ultrasound. My dinner was completely cold and gross because the ultrasound lady took almost an hour and a half to check every detail of the babies. But I was glad to at least have something to eat because they said eat now because in the morning no food again. I was also glad because she did a good job on looking at like every detail of the babies. Once again though, the babies were not doing good still. So we were under the impression that we would be having babies in the morning. Wrong again the doctor wanted another ultrasound in the morning. The ultrasound person was supposed to be there at 9am. So three hours late, me starving because if they were not doing good I was off to surgery so no food for me and I was so grouchy. She came in and literally spent 10 minutes and said yep they are better. Of course they were better I had IVs in me all night long and I wasn't allowed to move except to go to the bathroom. We were really frustrated because the lady the night before spent so long and this lady did practically nothing. The doctor then made me get discharge and told me I needed to go home and rest and really rest and get another ultrasound on Friday. By this point Steve and I were getting annoyed because we just wanted to make sure that the babies were going to be good, plus I was really sick of being a pin cushion. Thursday came Steve went off to work I hung out at home all day did nothing and Friday I told Steve to go to work because the ultrasound wasn't until the afternoon and I didn't want him sitting around all day just to know what was up with the babies. So my sister n law came picked me up and drove me there since I wasn't allowed to do anything. I was the last appointment of the day and was really anxious to know how they were doing. Verdict was that Charlie was doing ok but Kynsey wasn't doing the greatest. Then randomly out of nowhere my OB shows up at the ultrasound place. He said that he knew that I had the last appointment and tried to call but it was after hours and went to a machine. So him and the ultrasound doc chatted in doctor language for a few minutes and decided thankfully to let me go home and then go back to the hospital in the morning for another ultrasound. I was really grateful because I really didn't want to go to the hospital. The next morning at the hospital my doctor told me nothing to eat or drink in case I actually have a c section. So the ultrasound took an hour and I asked the tech what she thought and she said it didn't look good but that the radiologist has to look at it and then give the report to the doctor. So then I had to go back to the OB section and get monitor again. Thankfully I hadn't really felt the contractions that I was having that the monitors said I was having and the babies would really stay still for the monitors again, so it was just getting annoying. By this point I was so hungry and frustrated because I just wanted to know already and then either get it done and over with or go home so I could eat. So what seemed like forever again the doctor came in and said ok were going for it. I totally didn't believe him I said are you sure because I need to let my husband know so he can come from work. He said yes so I call Steve and he said we are really doing it and I said yes. Well then they started getting me all ready and prepared for the c section which I was totally not impressed with the anesthesiologists. They were super weird and they made me walk to the OR bare foot and it was so gross. The spinal they gave me wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but I was freezing cold and not being able to breath very well. Instantly everything was tingling and I couldn't feel anything from my armpits down. I needed to cough I kept feeling like I had to clear my throat and since I couldn't feel anything it was super hard. I was put on oxygen and they gave me my inhaler which never really helped. It felt horrible. The next thing I knew they said they were both out and tried to show me them but I was so out of it and then the doctors said I was bleeding really bad. Then it felt like someone was using my stomach as a trampoline. It was the worse feeling ever. I was there for a while and then finally they said I was done but they would stop pressing on my stomach. The doctor came and told me that I was bleeding out and that I might need a blood transfusion. I was really out of it still so I didn't think much of it and I still couldn't clear my throat which was causing me to kind of cough. The doctor said that my uterus was so stretched out that it wouldn't contract and so he had to do it by hand and that when I was sewed up it still wouldn't stop so they were having to still push on my stomach. I was in recovery for a while Steve had gone with the babies to the NICU which I was really grateful for because he probably would have gotten stressed when I bleeding out. Since I was bleeding so bad they had to give me a second IV and bunch of medicine. They thought that they were going to have to give me a blood transfusion. Thankfully I never had to have one. It took a while to get me out of recovery and into a regular room and on my way to the room they let me stop by the NICU to see my babies because at that point still it didn't feel real and I really never got a good look at them because I was so out of it in the OR. Well apparently as Steve puts it I was so out of it that I thought I had three babies and was getting mad at them for not getting the other baby out. I don't really remember that and I don't even really remember going into my room. I do remember telling the nurses that I needed to pee and I couldn't apparently it jammed up. I told them I just wanted up so I could go potty. I was finally able to get them to do something about it because nothing was going into the bag. I know this is all pretty TMI but some day I want my kids to know every detail. Anyways it took like three nurses to get me to the bathroom because I was so unsteady but eventually I was able to get relief and back to sleep. Later that night I was able to go back to the NICU with Steve to feed the babies. Since Steve had been with them before, he was teaching me how to feed and change them. The nurse was telling me too how to burp it was really unbelievable because they were not on any IVs or oxygen just the normal monitors. The doctors and nurses were shocked because they were so little and so early. The doctor thought that they would be have to be in the NICU for two weeks but these two showed them wrong. They were only there for two days. The first night they were in the incubater I wasn't even allow to touch them in there. Then the next day was Sunday I had lots of visitors. I tried to be good company but I was so sleepy. I know that Aunt Joy, Aunt Beanie, Aunt Jeanette came in. Then later my sister Brittany, grandma and my grandpa came. Then later my parents came. I didn't get to go to the nursery much because I was really weak. The next day was Monday and my mom had come and my aunt Emily. I didn't get to visit with them for long they had gone with Steve to the NICU to see the babies and the next thing I knew it was like the middle of the afternoon and they had gone home. I had slept the day away. Apparently my blood count was super low and I had become really anemic. They were worried again that I might need some blood. Thankfully the iron pills did the trick and once again I didn't need blood. That night the babies incubaters were open and they wanted to monitor them to see if they would maintain their own body temperature. Well they did it. They said that they would be able to come to my room and get off all the monitors it was so exciting. The nurses were shock and even one of them called them miracle babies because they had defeated all odds. So the nurse took Charlie and I pushed Kynsey to my room. They had said that Charlie would defiantly be going home with me in the morning but they were worried that Kynsey would have to stay because she would drink more than 20cc of milk at a time. Both of them by this point had lost a little bit of weight. They said in order for her to go home she would have to maintain her weight and start eating more. Well at this point I was praying very hard because I did not want to leave her there. I was so done with being at the hospital and I just wanted to take them home with me. Not that I didn't get good care because I did, although some of the nurses and their assistants were better than others. And my babies had good care too but it had been like a week in hospital. I did discover however that the hospital's gluten free food was pretty amazing. That night was the first time we had the babies to ourselves. The hospital kept wanting them to eat every three hours. It was really hard because Kynsey was just always sleeping through eating and hardly would eat anything. It was frustrating because we had thought well if she waits and eats maybe every four hours then maybe she would eat better. So since we had the babies to ourselves we tested the theory out. What do you know she ate a million times better. The nurse was shocked at how much she had eaten. So we had won that battle we just had to pray that she wouldn't lose anymore weight. It was a long night for both of us but we survived and couldn't weight to see the pediatrician so we could get out of there. It took awhile for the pediatrician could come and we were getting ancy to get out of there. She said that she was glad she ate good but wanted to see if she would eat just a little bit better. Of course we were so upset, she told us that she wanted to wait till four and see how much better she eats and gets her weight. By this point Steven was not very happy. He did not want to stay sitting there another day. So he ended up leaving and bought some preemie outfits. He is more of the shopper than I am when it comes to baby clothes. I sat there with them praying that she could just come home with us because I was so worried she would have to stay. I got her to eat a little bit more and then it was finally time for the big weigh in. Steve, me, the babies, and the nurse headed down to the nursery to see how she was doing. We get her clothes off and her diaper and put her on the scale. She done it, she kept her weight and actually gained an ounce or two. I told the nurse I hope she doesn't pee all over the place since she doesn't have a diaper. Not even two seconds later she peed all over the scale and it was a lot. I was so thankful that she was able to keep it in until after the weigh in. So we had to then wait some more till the doctor heard the good news. After that it was all down hill. We were on our way home.

We Moved Again

2011-03-03T16:15:00.000-08:00

Changing happening with the Morrisseys. When the girls left we were very upset and were kind of done with our house. We were supposed to adopt 7 kids in that house and we just had too much heart break there. So we juggled with the idea of getting a new place. Well I didn't want to leave my ward it was the first ward in 7 years that I truly felt like I belonged and could call them my family. We looked and looked and nothing seemed to pop out at us. Well then Steve found this little place about 10 minutes south of where we were at. It's very small compared to the house we were living in. It's a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom little house which has been fun adjusting all of our stuff in. I feel more comfortable knowing that my babies will be less than 10 steps away from me as compared to our old house which the bedrooms were down the hall. I didn't want to have stairs with the twins and plus having a 2600sq ft house was so hard for me to keep clean. I was scared to death to think about having two new babies and trying to keep up with house work. The stairs scared me for when they start to crawl as well as trying to get both of them up and down them. So we decided to go for it and I love it. We are now on horse property which the dogs love and Steve is looking forward to getting some horses, cows, and goats eventually. We also have a big chicken coop which Steve is excited to start getting some fresh eggs. I am not really looking forward to all these extra mouths to feed but I made a deal that unless he was out of town or sick I wouldn't have to feed them. Steve also has a big garage in the back that can be his workshop once we get everything organized. So we have great views of the mountains which doesn't really do well when it comes to cell phone service. We get Tucson tv stations and cox or qwest doesn't come out here either. It hasn't been too big of a deal we only had basic cable when we were living at our other house. We get all the channels except ABC but thankfully we have Steve's mom DVR anything on that channel that we would miss. We are trying to get used to our new ward, which has been super hard for me, especially knowing that my old ward starts right after our new one at the same building. I love Queen Creek and am grateful to live out here. People always say don't you hate to drive and I tell them I chose where I want to live because I love it out here. So I feel like I can't complain about the drive plus I am pretty used to it. I am thankful that my friends from my old ward are still close and I can still see them. Even though this is our 8th move in 7 years it has been a good move so far.

Our Foster Care Journey

2011-03-03T16:00:00.000-08:00

Well our girls left at the end of January. It was pretty hard for us. We had told the case worker we wanted them to be transition in May so that the oldest could finish out the year in her kindergarten class. Well they were not very nice and just moved them as soon as they could. I had cried for two days straight and Steven was very upset as well. But they ended up going to the grandparents of the people that want to adopt them. Which are the same family that had them before they were placed with us. We called and checked up on them a week later and the oldest didn't really care to talk to us and was fine but the younger one who was very attached to Steven which is crazy because when she first arrived she wanted nothing to do with guys. She talked and talked and talked to me and then to Steve. She kept having problems at school when she was still at our house. So she told Steve that she had been good at school so we need to let her come back home. It was very heartbreaking for both of us. Especially Steven. So we haven't called them back since we figured it isn't fair for them or us. We had them in our home for 6 months. It was a very good learning experience for both of us. We learned things that I think most parents will never learn and we have learned things that will hopefully make us good parents with the twins. Since we had such a hard time with the girls leaving we decided to pray to either keep up with our license or stop until the twins get older. The answer we got was to stop the foster care for a while and focus on the twins and then we will see where life takes us. We are very grateful for the experience that we had with the whole foster care program and were very grateful we helped these two little girls for a short while. I think that more than anything they helped us.

Pregnancy Updates

2011-03-03T15:45:00.000-08:00

I was 23 weeks in this picture.
I don't know how many weeks I was but it was sometime in December.

So far so good I am now 27 weeks and ready to be done. The babies have been doing so good. I was really shocked that they would do so good. I passed the glucose test and found out I'm really anemic. I feel huge even though everyone says oh you look so tiny. Biggest reason that I look small is that she is in my ribs and back and he is down low. My ribs on my right side have been killing me and now it is starting to hurt on the front of my ribs too. I go back to get an ultrasound on Monday.

GoDaddy Christmas Party 2010

2010-12-31T12:23:00.001-08:00

ZZ Tops had to take a lot of breaks
We were too lazy to go up to the stage area
They were pretty funny
Danica and at least she wore something a little bit more modest this year
George Thorogood.
I am not a rocker I think I only knew like one of his songs.
Fireworks as usual
Jillian Michaels being a total dork.
She was so weird. I figure she would be more professional she must have been drunk
We look so cute.
Jewel she is so pretty
She sang some classics and she even yodel for us.
Bob coming out for the first time with his security detail. I am surprised his new wife doesn't get mad
This was a warm up band I thought they were the best personally but it is just because they sang songs that I knew
Godaddy race cars

From the top of the bleachers before we went down to the field

This year at the Godaddy Christmas party it was a lot different then the past years. I go to expect this wonderful dinner to find out it's just carnival junk food with a classy twist to it. Of course can I eat any of it no not really. So the night turned out to be ok we had some really neat bands, no comedians this year. I basically ate popcorn, cotton candy, a Popsicle, a few garlic fries, a few bites of some phili cheese steak, and salt water taffy. I wasn't very impressed especially being pregnant and starving. After the party we headed straight for the taco bell. Steve and I tried our hand at a few carnival games. Steve won two stuffed animals and the gift that we got at the end of the party was a bear that sings the Godaddy song. Out of all it was fun to get away and see our friends. The ZZ pops were pretty funny. There was a lot of celebrities at the party. Even our good old Sheriff Joe. Well I guess he is not our Sheriff but still we know him well. Jillian Michaels was there the trainer from the Biggest Loser. She was totally clueless about how much money Bob really gives away each year. In fact we didn't win anything this year but we got lucky because Bob said I am going to pay the people who have to work the Christmas Party Quadruple pay and an extra 250 bonus. Well we thought that just meant the people who had to work that night but it worked out for everyone who worked that day which included Steve. We were able to have some extra money for Christmas which was so nice. We hung out with Chuck and his wife which was a change and it was so fun. This party was a little hard on me, my bladder just didn't want to stay empty so about every 20 minutes I had to trek my way back up the stairs to the bathrooms it was pretty funny actually. It seemed like this year there was way more people then there have been in the past. Just goes to show how amazing this company really is and how awesome they treat their employees. I am very grateful Steven works there and I even went up to the big Chief himself Bob and thanked him for the invetro. Steven thought I was crazy but his wife and Bob were super nice to me.

DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2010-12-28T20:40:00.000-08:00

This is a picture of Charlie's Skull
This is Kourtney's profile
Here they are together
Well today we are 18 weeks and had our ob complete ultrasound that was ordered by the doctor. They took an hour and took all the measurements of the babies. We found out that baby A was on target exactly for the due date and Baby b is good to go too. We also found that Baby A is a BOY and Baby B is a GIRL. We are super excited and are going to be naming the Boy Charlie Harland Morrissey and the Girl will be Kourtney Joy Morrissey.

10 weeks and 11 weeks

2010-11-10T12:55:00.001-08:00

My first picture of showing how big I have gotten. I can't believe how big I am getting.
Ultrasound picture at 11 weeks. It was really fun seeing the babies this week. Baby A decided that he wanted to keep it's back to us. Baby B was curled up in a ball. But it look like it was waving at us. We were both shocked at how much they were moving around. They wouldn't hold still for a second. The doctor said they are doing awesome and wants to see us in 4 weeks. I will be 15 weeks so I am hoping that we might get to find out what they are but it might still be too early. I have been feeling ok. The doctor put me on a different nausea medicine because the other one wasn't working very good. I still am so tired, have bad leg cramps, major heart burn but other than that great.

Update

2010-11-01T17:47:00.000-07:00

Well haven't written in a while and things in the Morrissey household just never stops being so busy. Well as for me I am now almost 10 weeks pregnant. I still am in sock that I am going to be having two new little ones that actually grew inside of me. I have been looking at strollers and other baby items and still not believing that I will have to have this stuff. I definitely feel pregnant even if I don't believe it. I have been so sick thank goodness for modern technology for giving me medicine for my nausea problem. Now if I could find something for my tired problem we be in business. I have been so tired. I could basically sleep all day and all night. But life happens so I am trying to be a good foster mom and a good wife but I know I haven't been 100% due to being so tired. Other than that I have been doing pretty good. I don't fit into any of my old shorts or pants and just wear basketball shorts all week. We went to the regular OB two weeks ago and he is so excited. He has been with us through our long journey of trying to get pregnant and he even called me after the appointment that night and just had to say how excited he is. I am grateful to have such an awesome doctor who actually knows me and is ready to help me bring these two precious spirits into the world. I wish time could travel a little faster because out of the almost 7 years of trying I finally am there and it is not as fun as I thought it would be LOL. It will be so worth it I just know it. Steven is so beyond excited about the babies. He has been so awesome at helping me with the girls and house work. I am so blessed with such a great husband who takes such good care of me. I know that it hasn't been very fun for him having a sleepy wife all the time but it will soon past and hope he will work with me until then.
We still have both foster girls. They also are so excited for the babies. The youngest said that the girl baby will sleep in her room and the boy baby will sleep in the other ones room. We shall see what happens. We have no clue as to what these two will be but hopefully the girls will get to see them. We don't know what is going to happen, we are still dealing with the courts and other relatives wanting to try to adopt the girls. The mom has another court date in December and so we shall see what happens after that. The girls just got their tonsils and adenoids out last week and the younger one got tubes in her ears. I was expecting them to be pretty out of it but they have been bouncing off the walls since they been home. I am glad that they were able to do it together and that everything went well. Their voices have been a little strange but other than that you wouldn't even know that they had major surgery last week. Well that pretty much sums it up for now I wish I could post pictures of the girls in their Halloween costumes but that's a no no. Maybe someday if they become ours I can have a huge picture album blog just for them. As for me I am still working three days a week for the cute lady that has a brain tumor. It is so nice to actually use some of my knowledge I gained from grad school. I miss school a lot but I know God has me on the path I need to be on. I am supposed to start school again in May but it looks like I am probably going to have to postpone till August. Which will be fun because my little sister got accepted into the same school just a different program which starts in September so we might get to meet up for lunch or carpool or something. It's getting harder for me to work with me being so tired but I feel bad leaving her plus the extra money is always nice. Well I hope everyone is doing well, and as for the Morrissey family we are doing ok.

My grandpa's best friend made these Charles Edward Fan club shirts. He is so cute.
His bowling wall.
He was a real handsome guy.
This is one of his records.
This is a picture of him playing in the bar. Can you believe as a kids we would go and see him all the time and yes that is a naked lady behind him.
This has both of my sisters, my uncle sid and aunt Jeanette, my aunt Joy, my aunt Tobby, some of my grandpa's friends from his neighborhood.
This picture you can see my mom, Glenn my mom's step brother who lived with my grandpa up until he died, and my sister Lynsey.
This was a picture of when my grandpa was in the military.
At the old Rawhide they had a lot of fun places to get your picture taken. I haven't been to the new one yet I think that it would take away the good memories.
He was in the paper.
Here was a poster from when he used to play at Rawhide. He looks so handsome.
There was an amazing artist that drew a portrait of him. It is pretty big and he left it to my mom when he died.
My grandpa Charley died and we had a little memorial service at his house. Here are a couple of pictures from his house and of the people that were there. I really miss him I wish I would of had the opportunity to say goodbye but I know I will get to see him again someday soon and I am sure he is up with the angels singing with his amazing voice. I am so blessed to be able to have a copy of his CDs. I remember when I was a kid we used to go to the bar to him sing and we would get 7up and we thought we were so cool because we were like the only kids in the bar. He sang at Rawhide for 30 years. I love you grandpa.

August Birthdays

2010-08-17T18:47:00.000-07:00

Ok so my husband was the one with the camera. So there is only two pictures. We got to celebrate my brother n law Eric's, my sister Lynsey's, my cousin Cami's, my Grandma's, and my birthday. We had so many good cakes. When singing the birthday song it sounded really funny having everyone trying to say all the names. We have the same problem in April when there is another bunch of birthdays. I am so grateful that I come from such an awesome family heritage. I wish that my husband new his cousins, aunts, and uncles like I know mine. We get together the third Sunday of every month if not more if there is holidays or special occasions. Well one of the pictures is Lynsey and my brother n law is in the corner and the other is me and Cami and some of the other cousins. I can't believe I am turning 27 this month. Steven is turning 30 next year and I am very close. I always thought that my life would be so different when I was a kids seeing my parents, aunts, uncles, cousin they seemed like so much older and now I am that old I don't even feel like I am that old. Well I guess we can't stay in neverland forever. We all have to grow up sometime.

Hello Craziness!

2010-08-14T12:15:00.000-07:00

Well life has been so crazy lately. We have been blessed with two foster kids. They are both girls four and five and have crazy schedules. I thought I would never have this problem of running around nonstop. The girls have mom visits on Mondays. Tuesdays we are supposed to be able to relax but for some reason we always have something going on. Wednesdays is piano days even though the four year old is really not doing it. Thursdays is gymnastics. It is their favorite day of the week. After picking up after school we come home do some homework have a snack and off to the gym. They ask for gymnastics day like everyday. I wish that I was a millionaire to be able to take them all the time. They burn so much energy and come out drenched in sweat. I know gross but it is less energy that I have to use to help them burn energy I just sit in the lobby. Wednesdays and Fridays are our crazy days. This is when I have to take both girls to two different schools. Then off to work for me. Then I have to pick both girls up and it just feels like the day never ends because we always have to do something. Like yesterday was Friday and we didn't get home till like 5:30 because I had to get the girls after school, go to the bank, stop by my chiropractor, go to the store to pick up some ingredients for dinner. Phew it makes me tired just talking about it. It has been fun, really crazy but fun. It is nice to have some company even though sometimes they can be a bit loud. We are looking into getting the girls into soccer soon even though I hate soccer but it is so good for the girls to burn energy. I wish I could have a pinch of their energy. I never thought I would be like mom in someways when it comes to parenting but I am. Pretty much I think I am actually stricter than my mom sometimes. But these sweet girls have come from a place where they had no structure at all. It is kind of hard for the girls to get used to having rules but they are coming around. I wish I could post pictures but since these kids are the state's I can't post them. My birthday is coming up and we are having my grandma's, my cousin Cami, my sister Lynsey, and my birthday at my grandmas house tomorrow night. So pictures are to come. On my husbands side we will be having a party for my sister-n-law Lara, my twin nephews Elijah and Isaiah, and me. So it should be a good month. As for the craziness I doubt it's going to slow down anytime soon because I went to the invetro doctor last week. So my body is going to be poked and praded soon. Hope this time works better.

My dad and his horses

2010-07-25T09:59:00.000-07:00

My dad is so funny I forgot about these pictures but my dad went to Colorado with my husband and my brother. They were supposed to go get one horse. They ended up coming back with way more than one in fact they left Colorado with 4 horses. One stayed at my brothers house. The other three were a one year and a mom of one of the other horses that my dad has and then they discovered that mom had a baby. They are really cute. So my dad now has a total of 7 horses in his backyard. He has two horses at my brothers house. It is so funny how my dad used to be in to pigeons the smallest animal to horses that are huge.

July Birthdays

2010-07-25T09:51:00.000-07:00

Clancy is such a cheese if you say "cheese" he will smile and pose for you.
Opening my presents
Hello can't you see I'm busy here
After my first birthday cake. It is a horrible picture but he had it everywhere.
They couldn't get the candle to blow out.
Steven and some of the other cousins.
Lighting the candles on everyone's cake.
Steven looks so happy in this picture I just wish the quality of the picture could have been better.
Well the pictures are horrible because I forgot my camera and had to use my phone. But in July we had my cousin Sebrina and sister Brittany and her baby Clancy, and my hubby. It was lots of cake and ice cream. My grandpa counted how many people were in the house and there was a total of 32 people there. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful extended family and thankfully live so close.

The Clancers

2010-07-25T09:46:00.000-07:00

Grandma Joy bought me a cell phone!
Clancy got burnt on the side of his head.
Clancy wouldn't stop playing with my mom's glasses and when he put them on he looked like a bug. He is so funny.
Clancy always wants outside with the animals.

Never know what's going to happen at the Morrissey House!

2010-07-22T18:51:00.000-07:00

Well you never know what's going to happen around here. Last week we were blessed to have two sweet new girls into our home. They are four and five and very high maintenance. They love dressing in a million different outfits, doing their hair over and over again. They are a lot of fun. The oldest is going to kindergarten and is loving it. It sure has been a big change for Steven and I. We have been used to having smaller children and getting the routine down for these two little ones has changed a lot. We have been doing well and are excited to start a this new journey.

Update

2010-07-11T12:35:00.000-07:00

So it has been a while since I have posted anything. I wanted to let everyone know that the children we were trying to adopt were placed with another family. We both took it pretty hard but are doing better now. We hope to have some kids in our home soon. We are also thinking about doing invetro again. Steven got a new used car it is a Toyota MR2 it is an old fashion sports car. I got a new job working with a lady with a brain tumor. I get to used my knowledge that I learned from school. I stopped going to grad school. I decided to go to Pima Institute to get my Occupational Therapy Assistant degree instead. I liked grad school and miss my friends but this program is a lot easier and less time and money. It is only 4 hours a day instead of 8 hours a day not including the time I had to work on homework. This way I can raise a family. We are having birthdays soon so I should be able to have so more pictures.

Lynsey's High School Graduation

2010-05-28T17:56:00.000-07:00

Lynsey feeding Clancy some cake.
Clancy was real tired it was way past his bed time but not so past to eat some more cake.
The siblings
Lynsey is so grown up.
Waiting for Lynsey to come out.

This was her friend Sam giving the opening speech. She was the Senior student council president.
Lynsey was in the fourth row
The whole family
Ben, Lacie, and the Clancers

The family
My little sister, her diploma, and yes that is a gluten free cake.

My little sister graduated from High school yesterday. I feel so old. I remember when she started school. It is crazy. I am so proud of her. It was nice to have my brother here from St. Johns. I wish that him and Lacie would just move down here. It was fun to have all the family over as well. I am so glad to have so much family so close. It was so crazy I couldn't believe how many people were there. We got there almost 2 hours early and there was no where to sit literally We end up standing the whole time. Steven and I ended up leaving after her name was read because it was too crowed for me. I don't like big crowds I get claustrophobic. We went to my mom's house to help get the party started. I felt really bad because my poor husband had been up since 4:30 that morning and we didn't get home from the party till about 11:30 and he ended up having to get up at 4:30 the next day. We had fun though and it brought back memories from when I graduated high school. It seemed like yesterday but I am going on 8 years now which is crazy to think that I am still in school. Steven's high school 10 year reunion is this year and I can't wait to go and see who were his old classmates. It is sad to say that I am getting old but I was asked last night if I missed high school and I said yes and no. Yes because I had such awesome friends that I can still talk to today because of technology aka Facebook an no because high school is so not as fun as it is to be in grad school.

My amazing little sister Lynsey

2010-05-14T10:10:00.000-07:00

My little sister is so cool. She has been in FFA all 4 years of high school and was the FFA President this past year. Well tonight was her final night to shine in FFA she won all kinds of cool awards and gave an incredible speech. I am so proud of you Lynsey.
This award was an Eagle award it was so cool looking. She got a special pin that says forever blue. She got a an award for being the President and another special award called Blue and Gold. She has done so much with the FFA and it has made my sister grow into an incredible speaker, person, and more.

Some really cute visitors

2010-05-14T09:46:00.000-07:00

My friends Cami and Jeremy came over to our house for a few days and we had so much fun. Steven loved having their kids around. I feel bad I don't have a picture of Analyce so maybe next time she is here I will catch her. But Jaren was so cute and had brought smiles all around. And Ms. Makayla was so fun to have here. Steven loved holding her. We can't wait till they come back again.

Clancy Kent

2010-05-14T09:26:00.000-07:00

Clancy is finally getting into the walking phase but doesn't want to ever try to go out on his own with out holding onto something. Well I got this toy so he can cruise all over. He was hesitant at first and now Brittany says it is his favorite toy. The cool thing about this toy is that it can convert into a little cruiser where he can sit on it once he is bigger.

You looking at me. I'm in trouble.
He makes the funniest faces and it is so funny.I bought him the outfit he was wearing. It says Rock and Roll and has a guitar on it.
Well my nephew is so fun to take pictures of. I am so glad he is around. Not only does it help Steven and I fill in that space of not having a kid, he makes us laugh so much. He is growing up so big. I can't believe how fast time flys

Paintball Trip

2010-05-14T08:50:00.000-07:00

Here is what General did most the time while the kids were not playing with him.
Kyler loved General. Kyler was playing cars with him. So cute.
Picture of Cami and of some of the kids just waiting around for the guys to get back.
My husband was so excited to go. He was all decked out and these are his extra containers full of paintballs in case he runs out.
He looks kind of intimidating. I am glad I didn't play. I wanted too but my asthma has been horrible lately plus I would have had to walk down the mountain once I was done. No thanks I had a blast just playing with kids.
Ok well we went on this awesome paintball trip and stupid me I thought we had already put the pictures on the computer so I started to erase them off my camera. Well I shouldn't have done that so luckily I figure out my mistake before I erased all of them. So I only have a few pictures. It was so much fun and I feel so blessed to have so many wonderful friends that came and hung out with us. The guys I think had the most fun because they left went up the mountain and played. While all the women hung back and watched all the kids. Now I was pretty shocked at how many people we ended up having. It ended up being Steven and me, Ben, Lexy, there little ones Cami, Cooper, and Chandler., Gary and his two kids Aubry and Nathan. Cami, Jeremy and their kids Analyce, Jaren, and Makayla. Nicole, Bryan and Kyler. Kenny, Becky and their boys Sammy and Tyler. And poor Mrs. Becky was so prego that I am surprised that she even went. Tiffany and Austin and their kids Westly, Savannah, and Brooklyn. And finally Tiffany and Austin's friends Christen, Emily, and their kids Emma, Aaron, Jake and Jacy. I am so glad the weather was nice although it got pretty cold at night. We went to Oak Flats which is right after the tunnel on the way to Globe. We brought General who was so good I will never take another dog on a trip except him he was so good with the kids and listened he was perfect. We slept in the 4Runner which I wish we would have brought a thicker pad to sleep on and for me some ear plugs because both Steven and General decided to snore all night. Besides the lack of sleep it was awesome. Thank you to everyone that came and I hope that we can do another trip just for the ladies this time and have the guys all stay at camp and watch the kids. Let's just say it wasn't a very relaxing trip for us ladies. Or next time we will leave the kids at home. LOL. The pictures that I delete were of Savannah who every time she would get washed up she would go and make dirt angles. So she had dirt from head to toe and was so cute. Another picture was of General and Chandler. Chandler loved to play with General and General just hung out like nothing was going on. There was one of the guys playing horse shoes and of the kids running all over the place. I can't wait for next trip.

Easter and Ms Francis

2010-04-14T19:28:00.000-07:00

My dad's pony Francis loves her behind scratched
I was still scratching so she is in lala land.
Then I stopped this was just before she tried to gum the camera away from me.
This is Clancy and Brooklynne at on Easter at my grandma's house. They were the first to go out and check out the goods. They liked to chew on the outside.
I can't believe how big he is getting.

Clancy

2010-03-24T12:46:00.000-07:00

Well it has been a while since I have shown a picture of Clancy he is getting so big. He is even crawling all over the place and probably will be walking in no time. In this picture he really wanted my phone this boy is obsessed with electronics. He even broke the L key on his mom's laptop. He is so much fun and I am so glad that he is my nephew.

Dad's new baby

2010-03-24T12:29:00.000-07:00

Meet Francis. On Sunday March 21, 2010 at 6am my dad's horse had her baby. She is so cute. And the funny thing is they would have probably never named her Francis if it weren't for my FHE game that I made about our Prophet's wife's name which is Francis. Well she is very cute and I just thought I would add this in because my dad bought this horse not even knowing she was pregnant. How freaking cool is that 2 for the price of one.

Steven and his Identical nephews

2010-01-20T07:45:00.000-08:00

My husband turns into a kid when he is around his nephews. He is so cute. I love it when they get their hair cuts to match each other.
They were all trying to stickout their tongues, Steven looks so funny.
Man these kids could be little Stevens.
How many kids can you put on Steven's lap?
I am so grateful that our nephews live so close to us. I love it that Steven can have time playing with kids because he loves them.

Clancy Kent

2010-01-19T10:02:00.000-08:00

Clancy loves to suck his thumb.
He is practicing his superman pose.
He makes the best faces.
Uncle Steve loves to be with him.

Nephews

2010-01-10T13:26:00.000-08:00

We took our nephews to the park and had a lot of fun. Steven loves playing them and hanging out with them. He played a little football with D. The twins and Marcel were all over the playground and I was behind the camera. We are grateful that our nephews live so close by.

Christmas and the nephews

2010-01-04T08:55:00.000-08:00

We were in Fry's and we passed by this Hotwheel's stand and there were these mystery cars and Steven said it would be fun to get them for our nephews. So we did and I don't know who was more excited my husband or the nephew. It was really fun and Steven and I love spending time with our nephews. I love the koolaid smiles. D was at his dad's house so we missed him. But it was really fun.

Christmas Day

2009-12-31T15:47:00.000-08:00

Christmas 2009 started out with my husband not wanting to go to bed until 2 in the morning. then at about 8 in the morning I get a call from my dad saying my little sister wants to talk to me. She gets on the phone and says "do you want to do chores, eat breakfast or open presents, PRESENTS" this is a classic saying from Garfield's Christmas movie. Our family has been saying it for years. So we got to my moms and started opening presents. This was Clancy's first Christmas and was really excited and not very sure about all of this unwrapping business. Thenmy husband and I said we were not getting each other gifts for each other. Well my husband lied and he got me a new camera. Then we ate breakfast and loaded up to go to my grandparents house. Once there we ate but I just held babies because my stomach was all messed up. Then we watched the kiddos open presents. They all had to be pasted out before they opened them. Then in a flash there was wrapping paper everywhere. We were blessed to have my brother and his wife in town. I wished he lived here so we could spend more time with him. We had a great Christmas and hope that everyone else had a good Christmas as well.

Clancy got a new toy

Christmas Traditions

2009-12-23T10:50:00.000-08:00

Steven and I standing in front of the tree burning up from playing tag.

Tumbleweed Christmas Tree

This was her new edition this year the waving Santa.
My auntie Joy and me

Poor Clancy look at that face.

Uncle Sid's amazing village
f

Every Christmas we go to my aunt Joy's house. She dresses up every year like Mrs. Clause and her brother Sid sets up a village that takes up the whole entire room. It is so amazing. There is so many things to look at. From a battle field to a fire at a house. This was Clancy's first year to go and it was really sad because aunt Joy's outfit scared him to death. Every time she tried to hold him he would start crying. It was sad but totally funny at the same time. She also has a variety of lights and different decorations outside and inside her house. She is so cute and it was seeing Sid and Jeanette. I am so grateful to have such an amazing extended family. I can't imagine not being around all of my family.
Another Christmas tradition is going to the tumbleweed Christmas Tree. If you never been you should totally go. It is totally amazing. It is a Christmas tree made out of tons of tumbleweeds that are spray painted together with lights put on it. Don't worry it has flame retardant paint on it so it won't burst into flames. We gather as a family with all the aunts, uncles, cousins, and siblings and play hide and go seek for a while and then this year instead of red rover we played missionary tag. It was so fun. Then we went to my grandma's house and ate goodies and hot chocolate.

Temple Christmas Light

2009-12-19T12:02:00.001-08:00

This year we had the experience to go with the youth to the temple lights. Steven is in Young Men's and I got to go with them. We went on a charter bus with all the youth and we watched Elf and listened to the youth sing Christmas carols I just hope I didn't act the way some of the youth act. They are crazy, but I am sure I probably was.
I wish my camera was better because the star above the manger was really cool.
You could tell I really cold. It was really pretty and the purple lights were my favorite. I was able to get this picture of the temple it is so cool how it just glows at night.

Huh?

2009-12-17T12:20:00.000-08:00

Steven loves to play with his nephew Clancy. He always has the best facial expression. He is getting so big.

GoDaddy Christmas Party

2009-12-17T11:18:00.000-08:00

This is us waiting to eat at the party. I brought my heavy duty coat this year so I wouldn't freeze. Every year I freeze so I came prepared.

This is Danica's new Nascar. She is going to be the only girl racing.

Here is another one of her cars.
This is another car that Godaddy sponsors.
There is the food in the nice shiny silver platters.
I love their hats. They look so professional.
They had a Christmas tree made out of lights with a Godaddy head.

Major fireworks, which were cool but I think is what made my asthma freak out. They did not open the roof till the very end so there was tons of smoke in the building for a while.
We had lots of fun as usual. We didn't win anything again but I am thankful my husband has such an awesome job.

Here is one of the bands that played the 4 tops. It was really good music this year. Usually I never know any of the music but this year was awesome classics.

Here is another look at a great concert.

These guys were awesome.

Classic motown music.

Check out their awesome dance moves.

Hanging with the Girls

2009-11-28T19:23:00.000-08:00

Cami, Valerie, and I went out to lunch and went and got a pedicure. It was super fun. Cami had come down from Prescott for Thanksgiving and since I am on break from school we were able to go hangout. Thank you so much Cami and Valerie for such a fun break from reality. It's nice to get away and just be with the girls. My nails are the purple ones, Cami had the red ones, and Valerie had the blue ones. We all had really cute flowers but it's hard to see in the picture. And Valerie took the picture Cami and I because she was waiting for her water. It was so much fun and I am so grateful for such awesome friends.

Shooting with Family Thanksgiving Weekend 2009

2009-11-28T19:04:00.000-08:00

Going to check out how well they shot

Steven and Nick trying to figure out Steven's gun.
My dad and Allie being goofy.
Mindy and I with the crazy wind.
My mom, Mindy, and Broklynn watching the action.
My dad and Chris shooting the hand gun.
Nick and Allie shooting the 22.
My mom and Brooklynn.
My dad, Steven and Nick setting up the targets.

I think that this might be a new tradition for Thanksgiving weekend. We went shooting out in the desert and had a pretty good time. I decided that I only like to shoot the 22. The other guns are too much for me to handle. Steven had fun shooting all of his guns. He only gets to shoot them about once a year so it was extra fun for him. It was really fun having my mom and dad, Jean and Chris, Mindy, Nick, Allie, and Brooklynn. Thanks all it was so fun.

My Brother's Wedding

2009-11-18T11:30:00.001-08:00

Us being goofy at the reception.

Clancy and Eric at reception. If you pinch both of his cheeks he smiles. It's real funny.
My brother kissing. Eww!
I love this one. His forehead is so funny.
Getting ready for the big family picture.
My brother looking at like a 100 cameras at once.
Bill and Amber stayed with us and is was so much fun.
Their cake had brands on it. We didn't get ours in on time to put it on the cake.
This is also a favorite. It is really cute.
Her dress was beautiful and very big.
Getting ready to walk down the stairs.
Just walking out of the temple. The coolest part of the story is that it was raining right before they walked out. My mom was freaking. My grandpa was looking at my mom freaking and asked her what was wrong. She said it is raining. He said hold on I will fix it. So he went out said a few words to the sky and seconds later it stopped raining. It was a very cool day and it felt weird that my little brother got married. But I am very happy for them.

Update

2009-10-27T11:17:00.000-07:00

My nephew is 4 months old. He is so cute. We are doing great. Steven is keeping busy with work. I am almost done with my first quarter of Grad school. I can't believe summer is gone. This year has gone by so fast. Christmas will be here before we know it. Our anniversary is coming up soon and we will be at the six year mark which is crazy. My brother is getting married in 19 days and should hopefully have some pictures to come.

Crazy Lives!

2009-10-09T15:14:00.000-07:00

Well it has been so crazy lately that I haven't been able to update my blog at all. School has been going well so far it is pretty hard but really exciting. This picture is one of the things I got to do at school I know it was just coloring and cutting but it had way more theory behind it.The other picture I took was when I was driving down the road and there was just a amazing sun set. It made me realize how lucky I am to live where I live. I love that the cotton plants are starting to get all white I call it the snow in Queen Creek. I know I am weird but I love it. Steven has been busy working he is moving up the chain and does some auditing now. He is now a scout master and has not been to his last two football games. We are still on the waiting list for foster care and maybe someday we can have a kiddo at our house. We are loving this time of year and can't wait till our Anniversary. I can't believe it will have been 6 years. We are almost to ten it truly is amazing how time flies.

2009-09-22T13:47:00.000-07:00

Steven is amazing with Clancy whenever he is crying, Steven is the only one that is able to make him happy.

This picture is one of my favorite because he has the funniest expressions.

Oh, brother!

2009-09-17T14:34:00.001-07:00

For those who don't know my brother is getting married in Nov. His fiance's name is Lacie and she is super nice. They are perfect for each other and it is exciting that they are getting married the same month that my husband and I did.

Game week number 2

2009-09-09T21:52:00.000-07:00

Today was game number 2 for Steve and the GoDaddy team. Steve is still at his new position as left tackle and doing really good. If you remember that last season he was center, and although he was good he is even better as the left tackle. GoDaddy won again this time it was alittle closer than last week the final in ot was GoDaddy 14 the other guys 12 so Steves team is 2-0 which leaves them undefeated so far. Way to go honey.

Are ready for some football!

2009-09-03T13:25:00.001-07:00

Steven had his first football game last night and they did awesome. They have some different players this season and they won 22 to 6. Steven has a new postion left tackle and he did awesome. Come out to see his games every wed. I will let you know times its at 7:10 at Dobson and University hope to see you there. GO Daddy, GO Go daddy!

A.T. Still University

So I have had my first week of grad school so far so good. Grad school is going to be pretty intense so we are going to wait a little bit for the invetro. I have homework coming out of my ears but thank goodness I have the weekend. I encourage everyone who wants to do their dream job to stick with it. It is a lot of work but I know in the end it will totally worth it. I am so greatful for a wonderful supportive husband that loves me to stick by me through this.

Grad school here I come!

2009-08-21T16:36:00.000-07:00

So it's official I will start school on the 31st. Ya I know it's about freaking time. I am so excited and so grateful for a wonderful husband that supports me 100%. So it is a 28 month program and I have already gotten 5 job offers. Well the rest of our lives have been crazy. We are on a waiting list for the foster care program and adoption list. Can you believe there's a list. We just got in to an invetro doctor he is awesome and he was just on Fox 10 news talking about how crazy the octo mom is. His name is Dr. Moffit and he has put both of us through different test that my regular ob hasn't tried yet.We found out that Steven has the world's best health insurance and they cover invtro 100%. All we pay is a $20 copay at each visit. Amazing I know. So far they figured out that I have to have some hormone shots because my hormones are all whacked. I know what a surprise. So once those have leveled out then they will do an egg retrieval and check and see if there are any problems with them. Then if they are ok they will mix them with the semen and hopefully mother nature will take its course. If that all goes well then they will implant them and hope that they stick. If they do stick were prego but if not then we will have to try again. So eventually we will some how some way have a kid. We are very excited and some people say that we are crazy to do this with school but come if you met me you would know I am a fighter and I don't think that anything will stand in my way. Steven had his first football practice on Wed. so he will be starting his games soon. I let you all in on times so you can root him on. Other than that we are so blessed to have all these wonderful blessings in our lives.

We are doing well we have all of our papers in for foster/adopt so just have to wait it out and we just found out that our insurance will pay for invetro so we have our first appointment on Friday. So one way or another we will be having some kids soon hopefully. Also, I think that I got the loan for grad school with my Grandpa's help thankfully. So if it all works out I will be an official graduate student as of September 1st, Yea! It is about freaking time. For other news my Great grandpa past away a few weeks ago, it was sad but he is in a better place. My sister finally had her baby. He was 8lbs 7oz I was off by an oz lost that bet. His name is Clancy Kent Williams he has a lot of blond hair and looks like his dad. Other than that we are doing well knock on we are going on a paintball trip this weekend if anyone is interested in coming let us know. Its just an overnighter in Superior, nothing fancy but should be fun. That's all for now hope everyone is having a good summer although I think that this heat is going to make me melt any second now.

Update

2009-07-01T09:39:00.001-07:00

So we are not dead just insanely busy. Sorry no pics this time I just wanted to tell everyone that we are doing good. Waiting on the foster care people to find us a kid. We are crossing our fingers that I will be able to start Grad school soon. My Great Grandpa is not doing so well and my sister is going to be poping out a kid any day. So a lot of things going on. But hope everyone is doing good!

Grandma and Grandpa's 50th Wedding Anniversary

2009-04-14T14:43:00.001-07:00

The same day we picked up my brother from the airport we had a party that night for my grandparents 50th anniversary. They thought that it was for Ben coming home. We sure trick them. My aunt Jean made a cool DVD of pictures throughout their lives some of them I have never seen before. It was really cool. The one picture I will never forget was of my grandpa in a swim suit and he had just got out of the Army so he was really buff and my grandma had on shorts I have never seen my grandma's legs before. It was really funny. I'm excited because they are going to add more pictures to it. They were not able to add a ton because of time and trying to get pictures from them while also trying to keep a secrete was pretty hard. Also we were able to get a new family picture. Right before we ate dinner we took a family picture and my aunt Molly went straight to COSCO instead of eating dinner to go get it printed so that my grandparents could have a new giant family photo. They didn't even notice that Molly was gone so it work out perfectly. All of my dad's siblings including him talk of memories and different things about my grandparents. When they were talking about childhood memories it made think that when my parents 50th anniversary comes I will be 50 and I don't know if I will be able to remember a lot so I figure I should write some down now so I don't forget by then. My aunt Jean said that our grandparents are truly a wonderful example to us because they have been married a half of a century and that's something to be proud of.

My Brother's Finally HOME!

2009-04-14T14:13:00.000-07:00

Well my little brother is finally home from is mission in Mexico. It felt like he was never going to come down the walk way. Then he finally arrived. He is so cute he had a hard time with his language. My mom was so very excited. He was surprised to see how prego Brittany is. My little sister was crying as if he was leaving. It was funny because my mom didn't even cry. My sisters friends made this awesome banner for my brother and everyone at the airport that walked by had to read it. A lot of my family came including cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and some of my brothers favorite friends. My sister's husband had to work so he wasn't able to see Ben till later on. My mom told me the night before Ben was coming home that he called to get more money because his luggage was too heavy. Well when we were at baggage claim my husband was trying to carry his bag and it was super heavy. Then my dad wanted to try to carry it. It was really funny because their veins in their forehead and neck were like popping out. When he got home later on he showed us why it was so heavy. He bought a lot of leather to make book cases, belts, and chaps. I know that's my brother for you. We all went to lunch because we couldn't get a hold of President Solomon to release him. So we went to Red Robin. My sister Brittany tried to eat a cheese burger and couldn't finish because being prego she has lost room to eat. So don't worry it didn't go to waste. My brother the garbage disposal is back and he ate all of his food plus my sisters burger. I am so glad to have him back we missed him a lot. After we finished eating we went down to President Solomon's office which was so cool. He works at the Basha's Corporation Office. When we got there he took Ben back to his office and he told us to go and check out the museum. We thought he was joking. But it was so cool. Apparently Eddie Basha has a huge collection of art and sculptures. So we check that out for a while it was so neat. He has so many paintings that he had to put them in his Corporate office. I suggest if you want something different to do to go check it out. It is free and its off of Basha and Occitillo in Chandler. It was a very fun filled day and very exciting for everyone.

Easter

2009-04-14T13:23:00.000-07:00

I love holidays. I am so grateful that I have so much family. The first picture is Lynsey, Amy, and me. Just before dinner. The second picture is of all the children waiting to go hunt for eggs. The next picture is all of my family that was there that night. Brittany and Eric were not there because Brittany was in charge of Easter dinner at her in laws. And Ben is still in Mexico. The next picture is of my father and his brothers and sisters. I think it will be fun when I get older to be able to take pictures with my siblings. The next picture is of just the brothers. The next picture is of my grandpa and my great grandpa. The next is all of the cousins except those who were not there from my family. The next picture is of my dad's family including my great grandpa. The last picture is Steven and I being goofy. I think it is awesome that I have a camera to capture all of these fun memories. It was a crazy day but it was worth it.Sorry about all the weird descriptions but I do this because of journaling purposes.

Good Friday!

2009-04-14T13:16:00.000-07:00

Well Good Friday this year was spent as a ladies day out we went to one of our favorite restaurants Mi Amigos. We had a lot of fun and then later on I was fortunate to have my work come to my moms house. So we all got to play with the kids I take care of. Thanks mom for a great meal. It is cool to make new traditions happen.

Final Football Game

2009-04-12T13:31:00.000-07:00

It was time for the final game and GoDaddy were in good spirits. As the game went along it turn for the worse. The team had a lot of fun this season and are already has signed up for next season. Since it was only the first time they have played before they are hoping next season turns out better than the first. Thanks to all that came to his games and supported him it meant alot.

Conference Weekend

2009-04-12T13:11:00.000-07:00

Wow I am a little behind. Conference weekend was so much fun and very uplifting. My cousins came into town from Utah. I am trying to get better with taking pictures so the first picture is on the way to granny's house Lynsey was watching Allie because Mindy had clinicals all day. I was with them because my husband was at work all day. The next picture is all of the middle girls in the family. Then next picture is of my cousins playing a game. While we were hanging out the little kids decided to "shave" balloons. My aunt says that her son does it all the time they take a balloon and make a face on it and then they take saving cream and put it on the balloon and then take a knife and "shave", it was really cute. Then a little while later the kids dyed Easter eggs. Well the vinegar they used smelled really strong, which explains the last picture. All the kids were plugging their noses. I feel so blessed to have a family to hangout with.

Family Picture

2009-04-12T13:04:00.000-07:00

Picture By Brad Gray

This is our new family picture, it is kind of hard to see but it is really great. It was really hard to get but thanks to an excellent photographer we were able to make it work. If you want his number just ask. He was awesome. Anyone that can make my three dogs at freestone park with a million ducks everywhere and my dogs try to get the ducks is amazing.

Great Grandpa's Birthday

2009-04-04T17:51:00.000-07:00

Well my Great Grandpa turned 96 year old. It was a crazy party there was tons of people. We normally have his party at the park because there is so many people but this time my grandpa is not doing to good so he wanted it at his house. My great aunt Diana made this awesome cake if you can't tell what it looks like it is a old man in a hunting outfit and a gun. The video is of us singing happy birthday to him and my husband was the one with the camera so sorry if the video is all over the place and the end is crazy because the candle wouldn't light. I feel very blessed that I am able to have grandparents as well as great grandpa. A lot of people I know say that they never even met their grandparents. I hope that my parents can live to be great grandparents because it has been so amazing to be with my great grandpa and grandma.

2nd to Last Game

2009-04-04T17:46:00.000-07:00

Well its heading to the end of the season and GoDaddy unfortunately lost again. But it is all good it is a great learning experience for all of them. I thought I had pictures for it but I guess I must have erased them. Hopefully I will get some good shots at the last game. And hopefully they will be able to win.
The foster care classes are still going good. You wouldn't believe all the homework that they make us do. I guess that's why they call it a class. We only have 6 more classes to go yeh!

Game Day Update

2009-03-29T09:13:00.000-07:00

GoDaddy and Steve had another game on wendsday. They played a team called the Smoking Gunz. It was a fun game to watch everyone on the GoDaddy team was so happy to be there and seemed to be having the time of their lives. GoDaddy won the game 13-6. Steve plays as the center so he is the one who hikes the ball back to the quarterback. Well during the game GoDaddy was going for a touch down and the guy was running with the ball and got surrounded just before he was takin down he pitched it backwards to none other than Steve. The sidelines exploded with cheers and Steve tried to get into the in zone but as luck would have it couldnt. It was so fun and great to see how they cheer each other on so much. There is only two games left then they have a 4 month break and start all over again. We also had another foster care class on Tuesday. We will be finished and certified in May and our hoping we can have a child in our home soon after. we are really hoping that we will get a little one that we can adopt very quickly. we are so depressed that we have not been able to have a child yet and cant wait to finally have that joy in our lives.

Update!

2009-03-12T20:32:00.000-07:00

Stevens game was at 6:20 and he barley made it in time running onto the field as the first play was in progress. He was able to get his gear and out into the field for the next play and two plays later they scored a TD . The defense did great stopping the other team dead in there tracks and GoDaddy came out and scored again. As luck would have it by the end of the game we ended the game with a tie. We also had are second week of foster care training. Lots of fun they showed a video with foster kids in it who talked about there experiences in foster care and it was enough to bring a tear to your eyes. It was so sad to see what these kids have to go through and reminded us of why we are there. We hope you enjoy the video its of one of the plays during the game. Next week they have a bi week so no game but we will keep you in the loop for the next game.

The Late Game

2009-03-01T17:26:00.000-08:00

Steven's game this week was at 9:40 at night. I know late especially when he had to wake up the next day at 4. Well unfortunately they lost but they did score first. It really doesn't matter it's just fun. We start the foster care classes this Tuesday and we are so excited. I am collecting clothes so that we can be prepared for anything. We are certifying from 0-6 years old so if anyone has clothes or toys that you need to get rid of let us know we will take it off your hands for you. The agency said that we will never know if we will get a boy or a girl and if it is an infant or a 6 year old so we will see what will happen. Hopefully we will be able to adopt some of these precious kids that come into our homes. We know we still have a long rough road ahead but we can't wait. This video is a little glimpse of what his games our like. This was my little sister's camera because I forgot mine so the lighting is totally horrible. Hopefully next week I can take better pictures. If anyone wants to come to his next game it is Wednesday at 7:20 at Riverview park on the northwest corner of Dobson and 8th cross the street from Bass Pro Shop. If you do come make sure you bring a chair because its just grass.

Are You Ready For Some Football!

2009-02-22T18:18:00.000-08:00

Well it's not the best picture but my cute honey is on a football team. He had his first game last Wednesday. Unfortunately, they lost 3-1 but it was really exciting. He is playing for his company GoDaddy.com and they have really cute uniforms. Next game I plan on taking some video because it was really hard to take picture with all the action. My husband is the center so he always get to touch the ball which is so cool. So this picture shows my honey in action.
Well as for other news we signed up with a new foster care agency and will be starting the training process the first week in March and should finish the training in May. So hopefully by then we would be able to finally have some kids in our home. Also the doc said that if I don't get prego in two months he is sending me to a reproduction endocrinologist (AKA) IVF doc. So we can pay the big bucks. So we will see what will happen.

Where does the time go?

2009-01-31T08:53:00.000-08:00

Well its been awhile, our lives are so crazy sometimes. This picture is a little old but is when we took my little sister shooting it was so fun we had the whole family there, and no my sister did not shoot her eye out. Well since our lives have been crazy I should give little update. We both have been busy working. We started the foster care route so hopefully we can get that completed so we can finally have a child in our home. I never realize how hard it is to do foster care. You have to complete over 30 hours of training. So its going to take us awhile. We still have been trying and I go back to the doctor on the 10th I don't know what we are going to try next? Thankfully I have a one of the best fertility docs around! Well that's about it.

Another Christmas Tradition

2008-12-28T17:21:00.000-08:00

Another one of my favorite Christmas traditions is going to my aunt Joy's house. She always dresses up like Mrs. Clause and my great uncle sets up this village. Its amazing. It covers the whole room. Last year you couldn't see all of it very well. This year he made it two stories. It is so cool. He starts putting it up in November. There is everything from carnivals to war zones. The war zone which was one of the new edition this year was really cool.

My Sister's New Gun

2008-12-28T17:16:00.000-08:00

My husband really wanted to get my little sister a gun for Christmas. It is a 22 for those who wanted to know what kind. Well she loves it. They are going shooting this Saturday. I hope that she doesn't shoot her eye out.

Christmas Traditions

2008-12-28T17:05:00.000-08:00

One of my favorite Christmas traditions is Cookies and Caroling, but this year we only did the cookies, which was fine for me. It always ends up making a big mess but it is really fun and very tasty.

Christmas Party

2008-12-28T15:06:00.000-08:00

The Godaddy.com party this year was pretty fun. It was at the BOB as I like to call it but technically its Chase Field. We had a very nice dinner and it was followed by Sinbad which was so funny. Then there was a band called 38Special. I have never heard of them before. Throughout the whole party they gave away a lot of money. Were talking over 300K. Ya we didn't win again this year. Maybe next year though. They had a lot of fun games and on of them was this skiing game. It was really fun.

My sis and I

2008-12-08T17:59:00.000-08:00

Well I am a little behind but this is a picture of my little sister on Black Friday. We went to smell the real christmas trees and I'm sure people were staring at us because we looked really funny.

Our First Gingerbread House

2008-12-08T17:44:00.000-08:00

Well one of the Davis's Christmas traditions is making gingerbread houses. We usually never built one but we did this time. This is a picture of the before the building.

This is Mindy and Nick's house it looked way better than ours.

This is our final product some of our younger cousin helped.
Well on the ride home the house decided to fall and completely break. Then this morning we come down stairs and the plastic box part is on the ground and there is no house. So apparently the dogs needed a midnight snack. So this was our first and most likely our last since we did not have any luck with it.

Christmas Tree

2008-11-28T13:03:00.001-08:00

Well to show how bored I was today I put my tree up. If you notice the tree is leaning just a little, I lost a screw to the bottom. I really love the smell of a real tree but it is really nice to have a fake one. I called my mom because she always has her tree up as soon as possible but I actually beat her. Ha, Ha!

Happy Thanksgiving!

2008-11-28T09:02:00.001-08:00

My favorite holiday of the year was unique because my husband had to work until 6pm and then when we went to his parents to watch the Cardinals game the house was totally quiet. Which is totally weird for his parents house because their house is always loud. Well the Cardinals had been doing well but they got spanked last night. Here is a picture of my sisters and I at my grandma's house. My grandma always makes my favorites and I was able to take a ton of food home, YUM!

Update

2008-11-26T15:15:00.000-08:00

So just to update everyone we are not getting the baby. We got to talk to the case worker in Idaho today and he said the Grandmother is fighting for the baby so we are out of luck. Oh well better luck next time right.

Update!

2008-11-25T11:33:00.001-08:00

Well, we had the homestudy man was that ever stressful. It went well and now is the waiting game. We had a little bump in our road because the birth mom wants to still try to keep her baby so the adoption is still up in the air. We hope that all will go well but it is a guessing game. The doctors schedule a C-section for the 2oth of Dec. so if everything does go according to plan and the baby is healthy we might not be here for Christmas. We found out that the birth dad has brown hair and green eyes just like Steven, so that's exciting. The doctors say that the baby is moving around a lot and the birth mom might get to go home. We are grateful for all your prayers and ask to still keep us in them so that everything may go according to plan.

NOT JUST BIG BUT HUGE NEWS

2008-11-14T16:34:00.000-08:00

Tonight we received a call from the case worker in Idaho working on our future babies case. Drum roll please.............................................................The birth mother choose us to be blessed with her little boy. I cant explain the excitement and joy that I am feeling right now, but I can tell all of you thanks for the prayers. We know that they helped with this and we cant be more grateful. Now we just have to play the waiting game and hope all the legal stuff gets done in time. We also will have to get to Idaho never been to Idaho but I hear that its cold. Lucky us Steve's company offers adoption reimbursement so as soon as the adoption is finalized they will reimburse us up to 5k in expense, just got to get the money together first. I feel so selfish saying this but please keep us in your prayers. I know with the Lords help this will happen. We will keep everyone updated so stay tuned.

BIG NEWS

2008-11-09T21:00:00.000-08:00

So we are very excited right now and want to share some big news with everyone. No we are still not pregnant but close. Last Monday out of no were we received a email from LDS Family services about a placement opportunity. We were both kind of shocked because its been a year since we started the adoption process and have done nothing for at least six months. We responded back to our case worker about the email and suddenly we were being rushed through paper work. The baby is a little boy due December 25Th so he is a Christmas baby. His mother has Mytonic Dystrophy and it is very likely he will have it as well. The birth mother is located in Idaho so it will be a nice little trip. It will also be the best five year anniversary present and Christmas present. We are still not for sure the family that will be blessed with this little guy but are hopes are high and we were the first one on the list. Now its all a matter of getting the cash together to pay for the homestudy and other fees. Please remember us in your prayers and hopefully soon we will have even better news for everyone, but we are still trying not to let our hopes get too high.

Update

2008-10-29T11:48:00.001-07:00

Just to let everyone know my surgery went well. I am still pretty sore but hopefully this surgery fix my getting pregnant problems. The doctor took off a quarter size cyst and checked everything and said I should be good to go. Also, I have no idea what I did but I managed to erase all of my pictures off of my blog because I wanted to try to put a slide show on my blog. Which by the way is very hard and it does not look right. So make a note to yourselve to be careful if your trying to put a slide show. I had to go reload all of my pictures again. I was going to show you pictures of my stitches but I didn't want to gross anyone out. So no pics this time.

Life is Crazy!

2008-10-25T12:07:00.000-07:00

So probably you all stop looking at my blog because I haven't updated it in forever and your probably thinking that we have died or something, but life is busy so forgive me on not blogging. Well to get you caught up about us, I have been working two jobs one for the autistic kid in the afternoon and the other I have been working at an elementary school teaching a child sign language because he is losing his hearing. I have been in and out of the doctors because of my health and I am having surgery on Monday for my endometriosis. Steven has been busy with his job at GoDaddy and is trying to get on with Boeing. He has officially become a cowboy. Thanks dad! My husband a while ago didn't even like to go near horses has now gone on an overnight outing with my dad, Nick and a few of my dad's friends. They had a great time. Here are only a few pics from their trip. It will be neat when my brother gets home from his mission and they can go on rides together.

We are going on the walk to cure diabetes soon and we got our shirts for our dogs and we just had to try them on. They look so funny in them.

It is almost November which means, our 5th Anniversary. Can you believe it because I can't it seems like yesterday that we were married. It's crazy how life has changed for us in these past five years.

Oh, Man It's Over!

2008-09-28T10:28:00.000-07:00

I just finished this wonderful series of books and I need to find a new series quick before I get sad that there are no more books about these great characters. I fell in love with these books because they were awesome. They are a little adventurous, romantic, and spiritual now you can't get much better than that. My mother-n-law said I had to read them. They were great and now Brittany is reading them and can't put them down. It is really nice to be able to read again. After two years of only being able to read textbooks it is so nice to read good old novels. So if your looking for a new series to read this one is great.

Our New Family Edition!

2008-08-16T10:09:00.000-07:00

With all of the trying, and trying to get pregnant we have finally figured it out. No we are not having a baby, we figured out its easier to have dogs instead of kids. So our new edition to our family starts off like this. The MCSO (Maricopa County Sheriffs Office) rescued this dog from an abusive environment. Steven volunteers with MCSO and they emailed him asking if he or anyone else he knew would be interested in taking this dog and giving him a new home. Well we saw the pictures of him and went to just "look" at him knowing that we already have two crazy animals and don't really need another. Well after the second we meet him we knew that he was meant to be part of our unusual family. So meet General,
can you guess who named him? Yep, Steven. Steven is obsessed with war movies and so General comes from a General in the military. The pictures do not really do justice of how big he is but he truly reins over our other two. We are not exactly sure of his age but, we were told about two or three. He is super skinny even though the pictures does not really show it.
Yes, he is nutor so no puppies coming our way thank goodness. He is already trained and listens better than our other two yahoos. He and the girls are still trying to adjust to one another and he is kind of getting use to his new name, no one knows what his original name was.
Here is a picture of him and Penny this kind of shows the size difference. It is funny because Penny is a queensland healer-german sheperd mix and yet she looks identical to General except for the size and her red color. We are so greatful for the opportunity to help General and add a new family member to our home.

Fly, Fly, Fly away!

Well no need to buy a fly swatter I have a dog to take care of them. In this video Bailey is trying to catch a fly. She usually catches them, I know its gross but it is pretty funny to watch. The fly was not cooperating so she lost interest and gave up. So you see if your kids are ever bored just tell them to chase a fly around the house it should keep them busy for a little while and you will have fun watching them do it. P.S. Don't mind the messy office and the noise in the background is me laughing and Steven watching Micheal Phelps win yet another Gold medal and break another word record surprise surprise.

Peace and Quiet!

Well it is no longer loud and crazy at our house anymore. Unfortunately, our house guests have left. We truly loved and will miss a crazy house full of boys. This was the last picture I was able to take of one of the twins. Ya I still can not tell them apart. The only way I was able to tell them apart was their personalities. But our dogs seem to be enjoying the peace and quiet. For some reason Penny loves to sleep on her back. I think that it is so funny every time she does it I can not help but laugh because I have never had a dog lay like this before.Well even though we do not have the crazy house full my life has been still crazy. My asthma is not doing well and I think that this brain tumor is giving me headaches or at least something is. And yes I do have a brain tumor it is on my pituitary gland. The Endocrinologist says that it is not cancerous, they are still doing some test to see if everything is ok but it sounds like I won't need to have surgery. The grad school that I am suppose to be starting on my birthday is giving me trouble with financial aid and so I am not positive at this point that I will be able to go. So if anyone knows what I can do with my Kinesiology degree let me know. Steven is still working hard as ever and trying to get over the fact that he does not have boys to play with.

Steven and da Boys

Well it sure has been crazy around our joint. This first picture is when the twins got their hair cut to look just like Uncle Steve. The second picture is all of the boys in their new Sunday clothes. The last picture is Steven and the twin he just had to match everything from ties to pants even though he wore his work pants that I really did not want him to wear. I will be in trouble when we finally have kids because I do not know if they make kid clothes and clothes to fit my husband exactly alike. Steven is so cute with the boys. We are so glad to have them at our house. Oh, and by the way it is official I have finally finished ASU, Hallelujah!!

A True Full House

Hi Everyone,

When We first created this blog name we did not think that we would have a full house right away. This week were were pleasantly surprised to have Steven's sister Rachel move in with us with her four boys. Deiondre who just turn five, Marcel is three, Elijah and Isaiah are turning two in August. We are very glad to have all of them in our home. Bailey and Penny did not know what to think at first, but now they are loving all of the attention that they get. This picture was taken this pass November so all of the boys look a little younger, but don't worry we will get some current ones up real soon.
