Life has been trying with this large family, but I would not have changed it abit. I love all of them equally, all for different reasons. Each child has their own personality and each special for one reason or another. If they would bring me another tomorrow and say would you adopt. There is not a chance that I would say no. We love kids and we have lived every minute of our lives for them. I would do it all over again. Of course there is no nest egg as all the eggs were scrambled for food over the years....but we live comfortable knowing that we did our best for all of them. There has been mistakes as all parents make and I wish all young couples would think before they act, but still keep in mind that "no one is perfect". And if we all teach our children that "I'm sorry" are good words....just as important as "I love you". Teaching our kids to be able to say these words is most important in our lives.
Below is the most resent picture taken just this March.
These are Treasa's and Tannya's Children.
Below is a family picture taken before we got so many grandchildren. As you can see there were only a part of our kids there as they are scattered all over the U.S. and it is hard to get them all together. This picture was taken in about 1989.
We raised our children in a time when we though it was hard...but for some parents, who have in some way lost a child, it is has been even harder:
"Help find a missing child."
