My gorgeous ocean

It's just another beautiful, clear day on the coast. It's nearing sunset and looking out over the water it is so peaceful and calm! If I state long enough maybe the inside of this van will be too!

Pirate park

The kids love to play at pirate park and today was one of those days we all just needed out! We didn't freeze completely! 1/14/2013

Snow and mechanics?

We were in Corvallis today and the burb broke down! Poor Ben was stuck trying to fix it in the cold and then... it started to snow! By the time he was done he was cold and wet! Explaining in great detail and emotion yet again why he Hates mechanic work! 12/18/2012

What happens when you cut your hair!

So when you decide to cut your own hair, dad gets to fix/finish the job. I now have a  bald little boy! If you couldn't tell, he's loving it! 11/30/2012

Catch Up!

So, if you are a poor soul that knows this page exists, I apologize now! Onwards and upwards, isn't that what they say? So I thought after my random FHE post I should give an update!
We are still on the coast and have made another addition to our family...Princess Daphne Arabella has arrived! Weighing in at 7.11 lbs and 20 inches long, lots of black hair, long fingers and toes, long skinny feet and a very sweet little face! We now total 10, but the funny thing is as of today we have officially 4 adults, okay maybe not so much funny as Crazy! So to recap for everyone, #1 - 20, #2 - 18, #3 - 13, #4 - 10, #5 - 8, #6 - 5, #7 - 3, #8 - 3 months, Whew! There it is I am the mother of adults and infants! It makes for quite the interesting day and conversations throughout the day!
Have I figured out how to make this work? (Insert laugh of monumental proportion!) Um... NO! I think by the end of the day everyone is tired of each other and then they have to share a room! (My way of getting back at them at the end of the day! (Insert evil laugh)). The house is chaos, for some reason my loving? Heavenly Father has decided I can handle this said chaos, because as of now I do not believe there is any taming of it! My neighbors don't seem to mind my screaming out the front or back door for the boys, my frantic "Q, where are you?" and then scolding when he's found, Q running around in a diaper and my other little boys shirtless (yes, I am one of those moms, don't judge the Lord will see to it that you are too!), the fact that there are any number of outdoor and indoor paraphernalia strewn all over my yard and driveway, and the countless at times peoole that just walk in and out of my house (you know who you are 😉).
I wouldn't change this for anything, but I do have to, not need to, have to have a break every now and then! I love my family and being their mom! I'm worried and excited to see where their lives take them.
I AM BLESSED! 😊
