8

Am I the only one who has a problem naming babies because everytime I think of one I like I am reminded of a felon with the same name? Or it rhymns with something weird?

This poor kid is gonna start kindergarten and when they ask his name he'll say, HALLO!! I AM NUMBER 8!!!!

Happy Birthday Colby!!

Its official. I have a 14 year old son. I would just like to know when did that happen?

Colby is a great kid. Err, almost man. Young man. A boy whos gettin too big. He is such a hard worker, and does very little complaining. He earns everything he gets, and truely appreciates the things he has worked for. The day he was born my whole life changed. I never wanted any other kids. I honestly couldn't see life ever getting any better then it was, with him in it. His little brothers all want to be like him. Travis loves him to pieces. And sometimes, when they don't think anyone is looking, they all get along and enjoy hanging out together. Yesterday I peeked outback, and watched them all play tag together. Colby made sure he ran in slow-mo so Chason could catch him. He does things like that because he is such a good brother.

I am so lucky to have him, and our world is such a better place because of him.

Ice Cream for everyone!!

Doot doot doot dooo doda do........

When you get out of a car, do you hear circus clown music playing in the background? I do. I have for a while now. People stare at me and I wonder if they can hear it too. Then I understand because I see that shocked look in their eyes, as their heads are slowly nodding up and down and they start counting the kids walking by. Yes, they are all mine. I do know what causes that. We do have a t.v, thanks for asking.

Moving Sucks!!

Let me just say moving sucks normally, but to do it at 8 months pregnant with a 1, 3, and 4 year old constantly climbing on me, lets just say its a whole new class of suckiness.  And on top of it all I am fighting off this cold the kids so graciously passed onto me, so I am constantly coughing. I am not such a happy girl today, lol. The older kids have been helping a lot, so I am very happy for that. We will do our big move in 5 days, and will be all the way out by next Sunday. I have been taking over carloads of stuff and having the kids carry it in while I tell them what room it goes in. Then, I unpack it right then and bring the empty boxes back to be used again. It has really worked out well, and it has been nice not having the new home full of boxes waiting for me to unpack. Usually when we have moved it has been the whole grab and bag type of moving, so this way has really been nice.

Brothers

Travis loves his big brother

Rude Rude

Why do people think because I am a stay at home mom to a bunch of kids, that I do nothing all day, and I would never ever mind watching 2-3 more, because once you have 7 whats a few more? Why is it complete strangers will ask me about my fertility or birth control? Why do people care? I go into stores and get the rudest comments from people. And they honestly do not think they are being rude. When I announce a pregnancy, I am almost scared to even tell people. I don't get congradulations. I get condolences. Makes me sad to think about when I write in his baby book about peoples reactions to the big news, I think about how  I heard, oh lord another one?? Don't you know what causes that? Your gonna get "fixed" now, right?? Why do people care?? I am not on goverment help, I take care of my kids, they are loved and thriving. None of them have to go without, they all get attention, and I am truely happy I had each and every one.

Why do people care??
