Large Family Life

Yes, we do know what causes it and no, we aren't crazy.

Most of the time.

Meet our soon-to-be family of TWELVE!



This is Brittany, number 1 and Tyler, number 2. They both just got braces last month. Brittany is a junior this year. She definately an oldest child. She's very smart and driven. She has a jewelry business and enjoys wearing jeans and all things superhero.

Tyler is a freshman this year. He is a wealth of information on many things including animals, history and video gaming. He also has a soft heart for taking care of the littles of the family. They all learn his name first.


This is Timothy, number three of the group and in sixth grade. This picture pretty much sums it up. LEGOS. All the time. He is very creative and has never had a shy bone in his body.


This is Bethany who comes in at number four, and in fourth grade. She is very into baking and crafting right now. She is very funny and loves drama and singing.



This is Brooke who is number five and in third grade. She is the only redhead of the bunch. Brooke has always says some of the funniest things, and loves Little House on the Prairie.



Tristan comes in at number six and is in first grade. Tristan is very fun loving and tells me that "Mom, you are awesome!" at least ten times a day. Every mom should have one of these little encouragers.



This is Thomas who is number seven in the line up. He is five years old and the family fashionista. He loves button down shirts and vests and his hair always styled, mostly these days in a faux hawk.



This is Bailey. She is three and is very easy going. She loves to sing Jesus Loves Me and keep up with her brothers.



And Travis, number nine. Oh Travis. He is 19 months and ALWAYS keeps me on my toes. He is my high maintenance little guy, but the rewards are high as well!



And this is little number TEN who is due in August!





And, this is where it all began, my husband David and me, Courtney. We've been married seventeen years and have survived the Marine Corps, the economy and putting up with each other.

Head on over to Kelly's Korner to meet some more large families!

Hey there! I found you on Kelly's Korner. You linked up with the other large family moms, and so far, your's is the only link that works!

I'm glad I found you though.

We have 8 kids on earth here, with one boy and the rest are girls! It sounds like we are quite similar in a lot of ways.....

Let's be friends!

And yes, I DO know what causes large families, and YES, my kids are VERY socialized!!! Lol.

What a great family you have! I love reading about other large families. It makes me feel like my thoughts to have more kids are "normal".

I love that you put "Yes we know what causes it". So many people feel compelled to as large families that. :)

You have some pretty awesome, gorgeous kids!! :)

Lisa said...

Thanks for checking out my blog.

What a cute family you have. Congrats on #10. I have 4, but can't even imagine how busy you are!

Godly-young-widow said...

Beautiful! I just figured out your name pattern.....Let me guess; if #10 is a girl she'll be Barbara, Bambi, or Brianne? And it it's a boy he'll be Trent, Trevor, Troy, Titus, or Theodore? I see you're another fan of the Duggar family; they are an inspiration. I hope you get to meet them one day. I look forward to reading more from you; especially as your teens get older and you deal with the "what's next"; regarding graduations, job skill training/college, and the male-female friend issues. God bless you.
