success.

a picture of all 6 of them...
finally.
and yes, olive is on the verge of crying, but we'll just pretend she's smiling.

and let's be honest here.
this is the only way i was able to get a picture of all of them smiling and looking.
i promised them "jump and wrestle on the bed" time.
plus a sweet treat.
milo doesn't respond unless it's got chocolate in the reward.
or joey logano
 and i couldn't get joey to come by.



don't worry.
olive is NOT under that pile of kids there.
i'm pretty sure olive is praying in that picture---lord help me....i have a lot of crazy brothers and sisters.

this is my life now.
6 kids.
6 kids!

    ryann works for food as well. i always feel a wee bit bad offering her treats in order to get her to do things, but it works, and we are all happy, so whatever.

    and 6 kids? man oh man, i'm sure it's crazy, but i bet you handle it. those kids are lucky to have you as their mom!

  36. I took care of my cousin's 5 kids the other day for one day. All I have to say is that you're amazing.

    I can't imagine what amazing memories those 6 darling kiddos will have with a mom like you and their 5 besties around all the time.

  37. Your kiddos are precious. I especially love the last picture. Olive is adorable in her oldest brother's arms.

  38. You did good - real good! What a gift to have each other. Being number 6 myself, I was always aware family was my greatest blessing. Now, my older sister who was always helping my Mom....not sure what she was thinking :) We are all really close now. This is our first year celebrating Christmas without our parents (my Dad passed away in April). Just being together is comfort and happiness with a lot of crazy.

  39. Congrats on ALL of those beautiful babies. I don't know how you do it, but you make it look fun. ;) You should do a day in the life post sometime. I would LOVE to know how you get through your day with 6 little people!

  52. Awesome job! I am impressed! I particularly love the last pic...all the personalities seem to be shining through!

    ReplyDelete
  53. It doesn't get much cuter than this. And clearly your bribing skills are superior to mine because nothing could get my kids to look at the camera at the same time and look like they were enjoying life. My hat is off to you!

    ReplyDelete
  54. You are 6 times an incredibly blessed woman. :) Praise the Lord for each of those precious faces... Who are all looking at the camera! :)

    ReplyDelete
  55. BLESSED.

  56. Congratulations on getting all the kids to smiling and looking at the camera and most especially for your newest edition and beautiful family! We just recently adopted as well and love our little JellyBean! I only have half the amount of yours but it's still exhausting and a joy all at the same time. Wouldn't trade anything in the world for it! =)

    ReplyDelete
  57. Great job on getting them all in the photo & smiling at the same time! Print those photos out and share them with everyone... you never know when that will happen again! :) (But seriously, the photos are adorable, and I know you'll treasure them always.)

  60. How do you do it??? really I need to know HOW??!! Your babes are beautiful! You have truly been blessed/ I am in awe of you...I have 3 (5yrs, 2 yrs and 3 months) and while we have a lot of fun i feel like my house is a constant disaster and laundry piles up so fast. I cant imagine DOUBLING that....but I'd love to some day ;)
