While at the reunion I look over and see almost all my kids in one place. I gasp. A very rare occurence so I quickly plopped down amongst them and asked Calli to snap a photo. All of the children that I grew in my womb, except my second-born, Riley. 81 months of pregnancy and 20 years of mothering nicely lined up on a bench. I am blessed.
left to right: Wyatt Austin, Landon Levi, Jace Walker, Sabra Eden, Jessie Pearl, Spencer Cole, Violet Noelle, Me, Hazel Jean & Destiny Evelyn.
cousin Cole (also a Windy Ridge resident) & my second-born, Riley Michael
If I had known Riley was right above of the whole time I would have made him come down and join us. Or at least zoomed out to include him in the photo.
Beautiful!! You are amazing!!! (Loving your laceless bobo’s too!) 😉
I’m sure many will mistake you for one of your own children 😉 . You look so youthful.
Haha, looking at the picture before reading, I didn’t realize you were in there WITH the kids! You must have the fountain of youth hiding up there on the property. 🙂
I love that it’s a REAL picture, not an everyone freeze and plaster a smile you your face picture.
Awww..thanks, ladies, you are making this old lady blush 😉
and, Abigail, I am glad you like it candid because the thought of getting them all to behave properly for a photo gives me hives. LOL
you have such a beautiful family 🙂 I agree with the other comments, you must get mistaken as a sibling when you out with your children 🙂
What a blessing your family is! I too like the candidness of the photo – it’s life…and baby Jessie Pearl, she is already a toddler! – time for another 😉 … Although, you have an even 5 & 5 🙂
You ARE blessed….and so are they. You are a great mama! Love the pic! 🙂
I have 7 & posed pictures give me the hives too..LOL..I can never get them to all look at the camera..never mind the same time..LOL…You are blessed!!
Love it!
Landon looks like Casey in this pic!
You are beautiful, as always! 😉
Now that is a priceless photo.
What a great shot! You look like one of the teens.
BEAUTIFUL family…and yes… you need to share your youthful beauty secrets. You look amazing!
Lovely photo!!But I don’t know why everyone’s shocked at how young and pretty you are.You’re only 41 after all -not much more than a kid yourself- but you HAVE achieved a lot of mothering.It’s a lovely time of your life – enjoy every second of family life before they start to fly the nest. Regards from England!!!
LOVE THIS PHOTO! You should canvas it. lol. Photoshop in Riley. 🙂
And I have to say you look so young as well. I only hope that I do when the boys get older. Doubtful as they give me gray hair every day.
I absolutely LOVE this! So beautiful! And Jen, you look like one of the kids!
What a beautiful pic. God certainly has blessed you in many many ways to raise 10 children. I would be in a mental home or on welfare!!
