why did we have so many kids?
That is what my sister and I keep asking each other. Well I do have pictures but my camera software isn't working on my computer so no pictures today. But I just needed to update......does anyone want a couple of kids? Cause right now we have more than our fair share wreaking havoc throughout the house. We have a 12 yr old, a 10 yr old, a 9 yr old, an 8 yr old, a 5 yr old, a 4 yr old, a 3 yr old, a 1 yr old, and a 3 month old........and here is the correct response to reading all those ages under one roof.......AAAAAHHHHHH! WOW! I think we are starting to figure out how to manage everyone but the worst is bedtime and any meals. Do you know how much it costs to feed 9 children and 4 adults breakfast lunch and dinner?! Seriously! I need to take some pictures of everyones rooms because there just seems to be beds EVERYWHERE upstairs. We have 4 in one room, 3 in another room, Becky and Ryan and the baby in their room and our baby in our room with us as well. Everyone is sleeping really well......that was a joke. We are having fun though and the kids are in heaven, most of the time, unless they are fighting and hitting and yelling, I mean we do have 5 under the age of 5 so that is bound to happen. I am just getting nervous when school gets out in a week cause even getting rid a few older ones during the day is a tremendous help. Heaven help us.

tanner the other day said, "aren't you glad you're not up there?" and my response was, "Are you kidding?! I would love to see this." plus, i wish I was up there to take a couple kids off your hands! any of them want to take a trip to 110 weather in Arizona!? I really really wish I was there to help! at least one day, you can laugh at all this. right?
This is one reason why I wholeheartedly embrace the idea of summer camps!!! Like, 8 weeks or longer. :) When that's not possible, I'd look for a nice day- or half-day-camp of sorts and send everyone over the age of 3 to attend!!! We've found a lot of day camps listed in the community paper here in Utah--maybe the Oregonian or your local paper might have some inexpensive suggestions (I know my mom always favored the local parks and recreation day camp for us)!
Wow...that's all I can say is...wow :) I wrote an email to you the other day but it sent it back to me...but do you still have baby clothes that Ivy is growing out of? If so, I would love to go through them!
That is crazy!! I hope you guys survive
