About Me

My photo
I am a 29-ish yr old married mother of 8. My family is my life and I wouldn't have it any other way. My darling husband is my very best friend and together we are raising 8 of the best kids in the world! They are Rose(12) Sarah(12) Ammon(10) Malachi(8) Gabriel(7) Hannah(5) Maggie(4) and Abbie(3) We currently own 2 dogs, 1 bird, 5 chinchillas, 1,000,000 rabbits, 1 cat, 4.5 horses, and one ferret. We just purchased a home that is definately a "fixer-upper", with land and room for the kids to roam. Our goal is to run a mostly self sustaining farm and live in peace as we grow as a strong family unit. We have seen our fair share of hardships, but we are thankful for the many blessings the Lord gives us on a regular basis!

My Favorite...

It has been brought to my attention that I post more pictures of Maggie than any of my other children. AND it has been insinuated that perhaps she is my favorite. Here's my take on that...



Rather than my favorite child. I think perhaps she is my favorite AGE! I have MILLIONS of pictures of ALL of my other children at this age. However, I have never had the benefit of a blog to share my pictures so publicly before. So, if she is in fact my favorite child I think it would only be fair to say that she is just taking her turn! Let's face it guys, there is no other time when children grow, learn and giggle as much as they do when they are toddlers!
Watching my children discover the world on a daily basis is truly witnessing the MIRACLE of the Lord's Plan of Happiness. Add to that the Innocent smile and precious curiosity that accompanies toldlerhood and it could possibly be the closest thing to Heaven on earth.
So there you have it "MY FAVORITE" in a nut shell!

So cute. I agree 100% I love the toddler years. I love the messy smiles, messy talking, messy walking. Everything is totally innocent and overwhelmingly adorable.

Go back through your blog and look at all of your Maggie pics. She's always in a diaper! Don't you ever clothe that baby girl? :)

Gee Steph...It's a good thing I know you so well or I might think that was a little rude.
Besides, who want's to waste laundry just to hang around the house!

There are a couple of girls in my ward who say they let their kids run around in their underwear just to save on laundry. With all the laundry I do, I can totally see why! :) I agree with you on the toddler years. There is something so indescribably sweet and adorable about their zest for life. The innocence of their little mischevious smiles is heartwarming and I especially adore the enthusiasm they put into giving hugs and kisses!

No rudeness intended, just teasing. I have not experienced Arizona heat in person either. Will didn't grow up with A/C so he always gives me a hard time about running it too much at our place. And laundry for 3 will never compare to laundry for 10 :)
