The only shot I have of Casey's family. This as their first trip here. We had them fooled, they thought we were "normal" people. We will see if they ever come back.
Scenes from our house for Thanksgiving. This is Doug's brother Dennis, he is almost Matthew's twin. or as Steph says, like Doug and Matthew squished together.
Riley, my cousin Casey's daughter from Sparta, just joined in with the other girls like she'd always been with them.
Stephanie turned 17 on November 20th. AS always our house was busy. Doug's brothers and spouse's came the friday before to visit with us for the holidays, so we waited until Sunday to celebrate her day. The house was full and fun. She decided to try to show everyone who was the strongest. She carried several of us up our steps. Here is one of her with me on her back.

I am a mom to 6 great children. Step mom to one daughter, I have four daughters, 2 sons. Ages from 29down to 14. They are my greatest achievement, of course my wonderful husband Doug helped with that. They are all single births, same husband, same marriage, not mormon or catholic. We just like big families. We have great holidays and birthday get together s. I am a RN, diploma for now, working on furthering that into a nurse practitioner. I miss my sister Evette greatly.
