I cannot wait until these kids are all 16 and giving me a run for my money. I will pull out these pictures and use them to get just what I want!!!!
I found these at the grocery store on closeout from Halloween. It is amazing how simple things can bring hours of fun.
Ya know people are interesting. Having six kids this close in age has been an interesting ride. But one of the most frustrating things is how rude people can be. We are often times isolated, and made fun of. As the kids get older it is easier to go from Point A to Point B without all of the questions. Don't get me wrong I don't mind answering questions if people are polite and kind. But sometimes it is not that way. I was a little disappointed when one day last week a neighbor that barely knows us was extremely rude about my six kids. She only has two but that is plenty. I was so upset because she acted like we had some disease. But as the time has gone on I am just reminded how much of a miracle all of my children are. I remember three years ago I had Tanner and Hunter in a co-op preschool. It was Christmas time and they made homemade ornaments to hang on our tree. I cried and cried because I was so happy to have those precious little ornaments to hang. I was so afraid a few years earlier that I would never have something like that. I still have those ornaments and they still hang proudly on my tree each year. I also remember wanting so very badly to have little clothes to wash , fold, and put away. I now have a large amount of little people clothes and some days it does seem overwhelming to keep up with it all. And sure if I could have had my kids one at a time and been able to give them all their own "growing" up time I would have done that. But it was not meant to happen that way. One of comments we get a lot is God bless you. My response to that has always been the same. "He already has!!!" So to some it may seem that we have a disease but to those that really know us ,you know that what we really have is a great miracle!!! And I'll take that any day! Good night, my friends.

Jackie,
I do say "God bless you" because I think not only has he, but he will even more!! He will keep you sane, give you energy, and give you perspective...something some of those people you've encountered might be lacking.
Those kids, all 6 of them are miracles and I don't know a better mother than you! You deserve all 6and they deserve you. When people get rude, just remember, they are probably like me thinking they couldn't handle it. I love my kids and if I was as good of a mom as you, I would have more, but alas, I'm not. I may stick with just 4.
Love ya!!
It really irritates me to hear that people are rude to you about all your children. I wish I were there at one of those times because I just wouldn't be so nice. It's frustrating that so many people assume things when they have NO CLUE what you have been through to get them here. I mean all the time and money spent... not to mention what you're body went through, your belly looked like it hurt, but I knew it was the blessing you had been praying and waiting so long for. I was and still am so happy for you and your amazing children. For me I can't look at your family and your story without seeing the hand of God in it all.
