Trav and Lou + 2

Well, it's official. On Friday, March 27th at 7:49 AM and 7:50 AM, the Twins came into the world.

Berkley Caysen Adkins - 4 pounds 11 ounces - 19 in long - born at 7:49 AM

Charlise "Charley" Bryer Adkins - 6 pounds 1 ounce - 19 1/2 in long - born at 7:50 AM

The girls came out screaming and were perfectly healthy. Louwisa is doing great! Can't even tell the woman had two babies, it's crazy. The girls will be a month old this Friday, hard to believe it's been that long, the first month has flew by.

Everyone is healthy and doing great.

Also, I get to go mountain biking for the first time this year this Saturday. If you wanna go hit me or Joe up, we're going around 9 AM at B-ville Park. So, hopefully something awesome will happen and I can blog about it, or tweet.

Dude! What was I thinking

I read my last blog and I have to say, I have no idea what got into me on that. Why would I want to write a book? I never read books, not adult books anyway, why would I write one? Maybe I could do a kids book. I'm sure I could do that, I'm gonna tell all kinds of stories to my girls anyway, I'll just write them down and see what happens. So, do not send me topics for the book I said I was going to write, it's just not going to happen.

I know this is a really short entry, but it's not like anyone reads this, just me, and I hate reading it, I just look for comments from somebody, but I don't get those either.

Spring is almost here, and that means warmer weather which means...... Mountain Biking time is upon us and TWIN GIRLS! So, the stories will get better in time and everyone is going to want to go mountain biking with Joe and I or everyone is going to want to baby sit my children.

You can get a double cheese burger, small fry, and large sweet tea for $3.38 and still clog your arteries. Also, I used the urinal at McDonald's today, and when I was finished doing my business I turned to go was my hands, and my coat almost touched the urinal water, that's nasty! And to top it all off, I was wearing a Pea Coat! hahaha. I guess that's how you spell that kind of Pea.

Book Deal

So I had this crazy idea pop into my head yesterday as I was driving home from work. I thought to myself, I should write a book. I was getting myself all pumped up to write a book, and then I thought, what would I write about? I'm only 25, so I still have much of life to experience before I can write my autobiography (or biography, not for sure which one). But Miley Cyrus is only 16 and has one. Maybe I can write about something funny and entertaining. Can I write 200 pages worth of something? I really don't know, maybe if I got on the right subject of something. So, here is the Challenge to all my readers. Give me a subject, any subject, but keep it clean, and I will attempt to write something. If it's huge, I'll cut you in on a certain percentage. So, hit me with your best shot, fire away.

SID NOTE:
My side note has no sponsor today, the economy is getting pretty rough and I guess I was cut of some advertising. Most likely, I will get bored of this project and just quit it all together or I'll do 5 pages and call it done.

Super Bowl Bust

So I got my power back on in time for super bowl Sunday. It's not liked it mattered anyway, I ended up in Charleston, WV watching the game at my in-laws house. It's cool though, I did get to eat some meat balls and wings, and a few Sun Chips, the cheddar ones. They are so good. Do you really think they use the sun make to them like they say they do? Anyway, I had to break out the alkecelser (spelling?) this morning, I just about threw it all back up.

So I am very upset with the outcome of the Super Bowl. I hate the Steelers! I tried to find me an Arizona Cardinals t-shirt to wear for the big game, even though I'm not a true Cardinals fan, but I could not find one around here. So, I broke out my Grand Canyon t-shirt that I actually got in Arizona and wore it for support. Of course it didn't work. This has been the worst football year of my life. Every team I like did really bad this year. The Michigan Wolverines, Marshall Univ. (It's expecting from them now, until they get rid of Snyder), The Bengals and the Raiders. It was a really rough year for me. There's always next season. Basketball is going pretty well, and I love me some basketball.

The Super Bowl commercials were horrible this year! There were 3 that I really liked. The E Trade commercial with the little kids and the big eyes, that was awesome! The Doritos commerical where the guy throws the crystal ball into the vending machine, and I really thought the 1 second commerical was funny. It was from a beer company and I'm not going to mention it because I do not condone it. It was really funny though.

Tonight, my tv show is back on, Chuck! And it's in 3D! So this will cheer me up from my Super Bowl Blues and Football Season Disaster. Peace!

Global Cooling

You never here anything about it, all you here about is its cousin, Global Warming. Well, I am here to inform you of our new threat to the environment, Global Cooling. The government doesn't want you to know, that's why they created Global Warming, trying to place the blame on my 98 Ford Explorer that only gets 16 miles to the gallon. Global Cooling is real my friends, we all saw the pictures of Las Vegas covered in snow, we all know how cold it got here in West Virginia and how cold it still is, and we saw where the poor people in Hawaii had to bundle up because the temperature was in the 40's. They want us to save the polar bears. The last time I checked, the Artic Circle still had artic temperatures, and if that's not good enough for them, I'm pretty sure the Ohio River is frozen, come on down and play. Global Cooling is a threat to us and future generations. I am urging you to get out and drive everywhere, pump as much gas as you can, make cows fart, take a plane trip to every city in America, waste our resources, even paper, we don't need tree's, they block my view of a lot things anyway. So, don't go Green as they say now days, go Black and cover everything is ash.

I was reading my last blog and it was titled "Global Warming" and I thought to myself, what's the opposite of Global Warming, then it hit me, Global Cooling! I just started thinking about it and thought I would have some fun with it. If you have anything else to add to Global Cooling, go ahead and post it, let the world see (or the 1, maybe 2 people who read this ...... just one, Tony Hodge)

For the record, I haven't taken my stance on the environment yet, so don't hold this against me for whenever I run for some political office. This message has not been approved by me or anyone on my staff (my staff being the invisible people only I can see, or if your from Narnia. I'm pretty sure people from Narnia can do anything, they can talk to lions, why not see invisible people to.)

What Global Warming?

Yo, what's up everyone? It's been a little over a month now since I have posted something on this beast of a blog. I hope everyone had a Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year. My Christmas was awesome! I got more toys than clothes this year and that always makes for a good Christmas. My New Year, Louwisa and I just sat at the house and hung out, we watched the ESPN New Years Eve thing were they guys did tricks out in Vegas, it was cool to watch a guy break his hand.

The Twins are doing amazing! Louwisa is just about 27 weeks now and the girls are bouncin all over the place in her belly. They are right on track with their growth and everything and they both weigh about the same which the doctor is just amazed by all this. I give all the glory to God for these babies and their health. We have the girls names picked out already.

Charlise "Charley" Bryer Adkins - The Sweet One

Berkley Caysen Adkins - Little Miss Attitude

It's funny because the girls already have their own personality in the womb. Charley is my sweet one. She's just hanging out, and during the ultra sound she will let you get as many pictures as you want, she'll even strike a pose for you every now and then. Berkley on the other hand, she has found her spot in the womb. She is very comfortable and does not want to be bothered. We have not been able to see her face yet because she keeps turning her head, and they struggle to get her heart beat because she'll start moving making it very difficult. The thing is, they just didn't start doing this, it's been like this every ultrasound. The last ultrasound, we got like 20 pictures and only 3 of them were of Berkley because she is hard to work with.

I am super psyched to be a dad, as if you couldn't tell, because Louwisa and I have been trying for so long and God decided to bless us with two. I know it sounds crazy, and I know all the sleepless nights I'm going to go through, all the drama surrounding girls, but I really look forward to it and being an awesome dad.

So I know I titled this thing "What Global Warming" and I haven't even mentioned anything about it, but here it goes. Global Warming is false. If the Earth was getting warmer than why is the high in Huntington, WV suppose to be 19 today and 15 tomorrow with the lows around the 1 mark, with windchill taking it to -9? The Polar Bears could move here for a few weeks and live, we have plenty of deer they can eat on, they might even find them a nice black bear to settle down with. I thought with Global Warming the oceans would rise some, which would flood some coastal states and bring the beach closer to me. So, what I'm saying is, Global Warming is Fake! The polar bears are fine, ice bergs might be melting or breaking off, but did anyone stop and think that the ice might be really old and can't hold it anymore ( I just totally made that up, it would be sweet though if some scientist read that and then went and proved it and named a melting ice berg after me, and then gave me a polar bear as a gift. I would name him Ranger, and he would live in my backyard, and I would walk him with a leash. No one will ever mess with a guy who is walking a polar bear) I say Global Warming is fake, but I really don't know, it's just kind of hard for me to believe, but if it is true, then I blame my grand parents and parents for it. It's their fault, with their non hybrid cars, and hair spray, and polar bear hunting.

Alright, there's my rant on Global Warming. Take my ideas and study them, digest them, think about them, and then hit me back up with something on how right I am. I will try and check this thing more often, because I know how many people read it and need it to get through their day, especially is Japan, I'm a huge star there.

Adopt a SIDE NOTE brought to you by Save The Polar Bears:
Did you know that Polar Bears can smell a human 20 miles away, and they have been known to kill a man. This is why I want one, so he can defend me from other polar bears. (Because there is a huge polar bear population in West Virginia)

I Still Have This

So, it has been a really long time since I have posted anything. I thought I really needed to post something so I have been trying to think of things that I could post. I haven't been mountain biking any, it's too cold now and my bike has gone into hibernation. When the snow does melt and the cold gives way to warm enough temps, then I will be doing lots of mountain biking, I have to squeeze as much as I can in before April, that's when the Girls are due to arrive. Oh yeah, Louwisa is pregnant with TWIN GIRLS! If you know any good gun dealers, let me know, because if these girls look like their momma, then I'm going to have a huge boy problem later. Anyway, I was wondering, what could I post, I need something funny or something with meaning and a purpose. Since I'm not funny or don't know what meaning and purpose is, then I am in a bit of a pickle. When all of sudden, I heard such a clutter, I sorted through my brain to see what's the matter, I swung open my eyes, and there I heard, tell the story about Wendy's, it's really funny.

Louwisa and I were going to go see Anna and the boys when they came into town last week. Anna was going to a friends house real fast and Louwisa and I decided we would stop and get something to eat before we went over. We tried Quizzno's but they were closed, and it wasn't even 6:30 yet, I was furious, I have been denied Quizzno's the past two times I have tried to go there. I went to the one in Barboursville, WV by the way, which they are closing down and relocating to Kanawha City, WV, which is an hour away, what the crap! right? So, there I was in the Quizzno's parking lot, sitting in my truck, upset, Louwisa telling me it's going to be ok. We decided to go to Wendy's, which is a huge disappointment when you were expecting Quizzno's. We got our food at Wendy's and had just finished eating when Anna called and said she was back at the house. Louwisa and I got ready to go and I decided I needed a refill. I went to the counter, and the manager was standing right there, she was close enough I could reach out and touch her. Now, at Wendy's their pop machines are on the main counter, where you order, they are close enough and easy enough that you could fill your own drink. The machine is right beside the cashier, ok. So, I'm at the counter, the manager is right there, the kid who was working the counter was restocking the napkins and everything, like 15ft away. The manager ask me "you need a refill?" and I said "sure do!" Then the manager yells at the kid who is like 15ft away, I think his name was Chris or something, and says "can you get these peoples a refill?" This is where I wish I could have had a picture of the face that I made at this woman. I gave her that are you serious look, the one where you kind of squint your eyes and you have a little wrinkle on your forehead. The woman was standing right there, in front of the pop machine, I kid you not, and she yells for Chris to get my refill. I really wish you guys could have seen my face, it's hard telling what she thought of me, I made the face right at her. So, poor Chris had to get up from his squatting position and walk all the way over to refill my coke. It was classic, and what was really funny, Louwisa made the same face at her. You know how after a situation like that you wish you had said or did something different. I really wish I would have said "Chris, don't worry about it, I'll get it" and then reach my hand across and get my own refill. Why I didn't do that, I don't know, I think I was just in shock over how lazy the manager woman was.

So there you have it, my trip to Wendy's. I hope it put a smile on your face, if not, then you need to lighten up and come hangout with me sometime.

If I don't post before Christmas, then have a MERRY ONE!

Until next time...... Peace!
