SABRINA!!!

Look who I got to see for a SPLIT second:) Sabs, Daniel and chillins were on their way (via car) from Seattle-Texas and decided to take a 1 hour detour and meet me in Brigham City for a little bite to eat. It was the best hour of my life. Can I tell you how much I love this girl??? It was a great little teaser...and TOTALLY worth it!! I can't believe how much her little munchkins have grown! Especially little Miss Olivia...DARLING!! She looks just like me...:)

I love you Bina and thanks for eatting chubby greasy food with me. Nothing like a little grease for the cheeks! I LOVE YOU and drive safe!! I MISS YOU!!!

156 hours later . . .

Well ladies...I have offically beat the record for the longest labor. 156 hours of shear bliss/pain...and I delivered my little "Hellga". She looks like crystal, and measures a whoppin size four. I am so proud of her. (I may hate her...but I am proud that she is OUT!)

Labor story....
Yesterday, (while at work) I thought for sure my life was ending. I was trying to be tough and go drug free...idiot!! After toughing it out for as long as possible, (3hours) I left work, in tears, and headed off to the doctor. After two shots in the butt...and a sonic chicken wrap, I was off to the hospital. The shots were pain reliever and nausea medicine...the chicken wrap, was because I hadn't eatten...in quite some time. At the hospital (which felt like a freaking freezer) they did an ultrasound to find out if I was going to need surgery. I will leave the graffic goods out...but basically because "Hellga" was blocking my ureters...fluid was backing up into my kidney. NOT GOOD! So, after shivering to death and tears, we left the hospital (5 hours between dr and hosp...grrrr).

This morning I had an emergancy apt with the pee doctor to see if they needed to admit me for surgery...I think little "Hellga" freaked out about the idea, and decided to pop out...minutes before my doctors apt. What a little punk! Needless to say, I feel like a whole new woman. Today I got to enjoy the aftermath of a kidney stone...a SUPER sore body (esp back and stomach) and the nausea that comes with it...however, I will take that ANY DAY over a kidney stone.
Thank you all for your prayers, sweet text messages and phone calls. Even though I may not remember talking to you...it was the thought that counted:)
It will be great to get back to my "normal" life....that is, life without drugs. I HATE taking those things...but could not have lived without them!!

Now...everyone go drink a big glass of water, because I SWEAR if one more person tells me to drink more...I will drown them. :) Heads up!
PS...if you are wondering where Hellga got her name....her Grandma Donna decided that because she gave me hell for the past week, that Hellga is fitting. I wanted to call her a little *#@%$%$@*&$#% but i'll just call her Hellga for short:)

Kidney Stone #6...I hate you!

Viewer discression advised.
PG-13 for painful images

Please remember, I am recording this for my prosperity...you are reading this at your own risk.
Kidney Stones = DEATH.
I am not kidding. Unless you have had one or watched someone go through one...you will never understand the sheer un-imaginable pain. BUT, because I am super thoughtful, I will share my lovely week/weekend with you:)
Wednesday-
10:00pm- Out for a run...(shocker, I know) and all of the sudden...I feel a little pain. Dangit!
1:30am- on the phone with the on call ER doctor...

Thursday- I think I am tough...so I head off for an 8 hour shift at work...5 hours later...Home. Tears. Pick up Lori:)
9:30pm- Enter Emergancy Room...lovingly giving orders to the doctors and nurses...slow pokes. Lori and Mom sit with me...and correct me as the nurse says "are you married"..I said "Yes". Whoops. You can't drug a person up and then ask them tough questions!!!!
12:30am- CT scan.. and we find there is a kidney stone (passing) in my right kidney. DUH! The doctor measured it...and it is a 4!!! I have only ever passed a 2! THAT IS DOUBLE THE SIZE!! I beg to be euthanized.
2:00am- Leave ER.

Friday- Time to plan the wedding. The day time was rough...then evening went much better. I even got a sweet game of volleyball in:) I have a new nickname..."Stoner".

Saturday-Besides the fact that I had some INSANELY sweet plans...today was a disaster. Worst 4th of July EVER!!! From 10am-5pm....I paced around the house, cried, shook like a leaf, cried, cried and cried. Seriously, no drugs even touched the pain. Honestly the worst 7 hours of my life. The pain lasted throughout the night, but I was able to catch a couple hours of sleep. Lame. I didn't even see ONE FIREWORK!! Ewe...next year better knock my socks off.

Sunday- Went to church for...15 holy minutes, left in pain. Why do I try?? Luckily I was able to catch some relief thoughout the afternoon. I got to play some games, eat a little food and hang out with the family and some out of town friends. THANK GOODNESS!! I needed a little fun:) Sunday night around 11pm...things got a little wild again. Honestly, my patience and tolerance...GONE!

Monday- The little fella still hasn't passed. I worked today from 8am-7pm....YIKES! I am tired/tired and tired. Good thing I love my job!!! I have NEVER had a kidney stone this big or this EVERLASTING!!! SERIOUSLY, pray for relief! I can't take it much longer!!!

Needless to say the weekend did not go as planned..luckily my friends and family understood. I just don't understand why no one took the liberty of putting me out of my misery!! Isn't that what you do to a lame horse?? dying deer?? etc. COME ON PEOPLE!!

Pray Pray Pray that this baby passes SOON!!! This is technically like my 6th child! And I have NOTHING to show for it!!

Look who's coming...

(This picture was from our SPLENDID month together last year. . . I WILL get that tan again)
Not to make any of the Plataeu Princess' Jealous...but check out who I get to play with this week....:) Princess Lori is making her Grand de view on THURSDAY!!!!! HOORAY!! She is here to keep me from drinking while I plan Miss Katie's wedding. I AM SO EXCITED!!!
We fully intend to play scrabble, eat junior mints, play a little more scrabble...and SHOP!!!
Ohh should I mention that the ROMERO family is paying a visit this weekend?? Ahh...finally a perk to living in UTAH:) hehehe, just kidding. BUT SERIOUSLY, you all visit this grand area AT LEAST once a year right?? SOMEHOW, I played my cards RIGHT!
Again...not bragging.

Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Fathers Day:)
You know you have an amazing father when....
10- He wakes you up by saying..."Mahanna you ugly, get out of bed"...and then makes you sourdough pancakes and his ever so famous hash...all while jamming out to the pancake song:)
9- He takes you on the GREATEST fourwheeling rides...fully equipt with M&M's, Jolly Ranchers and power bars.
8- He holds your hand and pushes you through....even though you think you have reached the end. (Subway:)
7-He walks out in a blizzard, warms up and wipes off your car...just so you'll have a nice safe, warm ride.
6- He holds you in his arms...and lets you cry on his shoulder, and then suddenly knows just what to say, and how to say it.
5- He strives to serve, and never complains....ever.
4- He is an honorable, and worthy priesthood holder...at all times.
3- He shares his Sees Dark Chocolate Carmels....(hint hint...)
2- He can build anything, fix anything...and knows EVERYTHING! (Including the most up-to-date Nascar Stats).
1- He looks you in the eyes, tells you he loves you...and you KNOW he means it.
Dad, I love you SOOOO much!! I hope to someday convince some poor sucker to marry me...and have him be everything like you. (Then you'll get your storage room back:) I love you Dad! Thanks for being my example, hero and best friend. I am the luckiest girl in the world!
LOVE YOU and Happy FATHERS Day!
Love Niglet

What cha doing August 14th??

Little Sissy Katie and soon to be bro in law Cory have decided to tie the knot on August 14, 2009!!! Quick little devils:) don't worry folks...this is her missionary!! So, unless you want to be considered lame, you better be there. This isn't the formal invitation...shocking, I know. No need to RSVP quite yet. Just remember...it will be a swinging time, so you better come.

Congrats to my little Fetus and Otis...:)

Memorial Weekend

For Memorial Day weekend, my family (minus Katie) headed down to Zions National Park for a little camping/hiking. We took the toyhauler and stayed in a SUPER nice RV park. We Davis' know how to camp in style (toliets/showers/grass/dairy queen...etc). Here is a quick photo journal of our fantastic weekend.
SATURDAY-
We did a bunch of little bitty hikes and a watery tour of the back half of the Narrows.

For those of you who are new....
Lindsey, MaLese, Landon, Daddy-O, Carly

The water was a tad bit chilly...but after your legs went numb...NO BIG DEAL!

Even Koda had a splendid time:)

SUNDAY-
Today we ventured off to Angels Landing. This hike is not for those who are afraid of heights...at all!! Once you wind your way to the top, you are hiking across rocks, that are at times 3-5 feet wide...with 1,000 foot drop off on either side of you. CRAZY! Sometimes, if you weren't holding on to the chain...well lets just say, you'd be dead. Don't worry, Mom and Koda stayed behind ready to collect on life insurance:)

Check out these pictures....
Dad took a "before" picture. Basically a head count before the landing. On average, 1 person dies every other year....neat. Isn't weird that my dad took out life insurance on each of us, before the hike...weird. Just kidding

PLEASE NOTE....My mother is FREAKING out, because it appears as if I am a hoochie-mama in my spank shorts. FOR THE RECORD, they are knee length cotton BLACK shorts that locked in heat like the freakin desert...SO, I tenderly rolled them up, a smidge...to prevent heat stroke and chaffing:) If you would like more information...please feel free to call. 1-800 Imma Hoochie.

Ya...we are amazing.

We HAD to lean forward...because RIGHT behind us, was death. My dad was SOOO nervous taking the picture!! That swiggly line behind us, is the road:)

WE MADE IT!!! Up and Back....:) Check out the road behind us!! CRAZY!

Here is a little perspective shot for you...this is on the way down angels, I wish you could feel the power...
Sabrina, this is where I was talking to you, when you called:) Hehehehe!! I love top of the world phone calls!!!
After the trek to Angels we took a much shorter/easier hike to "cool" off....isn't Koda DARLING???? I love her little eyes!!

She held on SOOO tight...it was SOOO cute!

Here is the Family, minus Katie who had to stay behind, because she was Chicken (or she had to work). Either way, we missed her.

It was a splendid weekend!! Filled with oreo's, games, laughing, naps, fire alarms, starbursts and fantastic flushing toliets and showers. Life doesn't get much better:)

Confessions of a Fair Weather Fan

Don't Judge Me.

I have made fun of American Idol for 7.5 seasons....and it wasn't until about 7 weeks ago, that I heard Mr. Lamberts voice, that I became a crazed fan. SERIOUSLY....don't judge me, cause I know YOU ALL WANT TOO...(sabrina)

HOWEVER... I should mention, Kris is adorable...and I am super proud of him for winning. He has been my second favorite.....for quite some time!

Alright, Confession is over. PHEW!!!

Sabrina...if only I had an italian soda to complete my repentence process...:)

Seriously....how adorable is that face:)

We seriously just giggle the WHOLE time we are together.

Dear Mom,

I just wanted to let you know, how much I love you. I could not have been blessed with a greater example, teacher, Mother and friend. You are my perfect defination of what a mother is and should be. You are so patient and compassionate; and you ALWAYS put our family before yourself. Thank you for not only being an amazing mother, but an amazing friend. I love you so much, and I want you to know that I hope to be just like you when I "grow up". You have greatly blessed the lives of not only our family, but the lives of others with your selfless service. You are one amazing woman:)
I love you SO much Mom, and thank you.
