About Me
- 16 blessings'mom
- I am a stay at home mom with 16 kids,all single births, thirteen of them still at home...Emily and Abigail live down the road, and Benjamin is in the U.S. Army and is a combat medic. He was stationed in Washington state with his wife Ashley, but has been deployed overseas and is fighting in Afghanistan. I don't like rules and regulations, stupid laws, or other infringements on my rights but: I love when people are ethical and respectful from their own hearts and consciences...I love babies, and being pregnant, and love having all the children around. I love my teenagers-they are so much fun. I love my husband like crazy. I love going to the beach and staying until the sun sets. I am not organized, have no good advice to give, and cannot always remember my kids' snack days. But I love them with all my heart....the kids are Emily, 27, Abigail, 25, Benjamin 23, Mirielle 22, Joseph 20, Aaron 19, Mali 18, Samuel 16, Margaret 15, Kathryn 1, Evelyn 12, Suzanne 11, Sonja 9, Jonathan 7, Charlotte Claire, 5, and Camille Anaya, 4 years old...help for life can be found at http://brunstad.org/

What a beautiful, happy family!!!!!!!!!!!!! You should change the header picture to one of these new ones. and just look at that hair of yours! Wow!
I love your hair too! Wish i had it.. Mine keeps falling off after each pregnancy!! Beautiful kids, u look so happy :)
I love the middle one! That would be a great one for the header. Are they lined up in birth order?
That one would have been easier to list the who's who. :)
You really have some good looking kids! That must be why you kept going :)
I like the picnic table picture. :)
What a great family picture they look beautiful. I cant believe how young you look to have had all these children. You really are blessed. I only have two but wished that I had had more but anyway love reading your blog so entertaining and what a good mum you are!!
Della,
That is one beautiful family!!! They are really something to be proud of. I hope they all realize just how blessed they truly are to be a part of such a large, loving family. I would love to have had such a large, beautiful family. I grew up with only one sister who was five years older than me and no father. It was pretty lonely. Now I am the mama of six wonderful children and am expecting another next month. I love that my children all have eachother and both of their parents. They have what I didn't. I am so glad. It is a true blessing and brings so much happiness. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us. I am a little jealous though since my family is still so "small":):):)
Love,
Mary
James says, "Look at that! They're all smiling and not one of them is goofing around. We can't even do that with seven kids."
Martha, please tell James that we are just as surprised as he is. And: Claire took tons of pictures. I just didn't post the ones with eyes closed and kids squabbling.
Gorgeous photos! Gorgeous people! Truly 16 blessings!
