I love my family!
Thank you God for blessing me with such an awesome family!
My four brothers
(From Left)

Kellen is first, Braeden is holding Declan, and Ellis is on the end. This picture was taken a few years ago!
I love my brothers!
Even though my brothers are sometimes very annoying, and make me angry, I love them very much! Ellis (maytheforcebewithyou13) is 15, Braeden (brmadagan) is 10, Kellen (Kellenmadagan7 is almost 8, and Declan is 1 years old, and does not have Squidoo! Brothers are awesome to have, and teach you to be strong, and tough. I often laugh with Braeden and Kellen, and I consider Declan my living, breathing, cuddly teddy bear! Brothers defiantly have pros and cons. Ellis and I often have little quarrels, and I hate fighting very much! My brothers and the rest of my family are Christians, so we help each other out when we're sad. I enjoy that feature of my family very much. My brothers (when they want to be) are really supportive, and cheer me on in life. But when we fight, it can get pretty loud.Oh well. I love my brothers very much!

I love my Sisters!
My sisters are lots of fun to play with. I have two sisters, and I love them very much! Maebrey is a spunky 5 year old, who knows what she's doing, and 3 year old Eilley is sweet and caring. They both care a lot of each other, including caring for me. Maebrey is sometimes a little stubborn, proving she's my sister (I am a bit stubborn too, I admit it)! Eilley is so sweet, and will help in any way she can. I love both of them so much. When they're sick, I want to be right there for them. Same with my brothers! We all share one room, and it is sometimes a little cramped, especially when you want some private time. But I love sharing a room. My sisters love it when I tell them bedtime stories, and pray with them.My sisters are so sweet, and I love them very much!

I adore my Parents!
My mom and dad are really awesome. I mean raising four boys, and 3 girls? Seven kids in all? Yep. They rock. Sometimes I treat my mom and dad poorly, and I really regret it! They are wonderful, and amazing parents. Their best features are that they are Christians! Two wonderful people who love children, and serve the Lord.You can visit my mom right here on Squidoo! Blessedmombygrace
My dad, sadly does not have Squidoo, because he doesn't have enough free time. But I do think he'd be awesome, because he is a writer!
I love my parents SO much!
My loving, caring, wonderful parents!

“I love my family so, so, so, much! I am so blessed.”
Yes, we are a home school family!
But we are not this cooky! Not even close!
Do you have a big family?
Meaning, brothers, sisters, parents. Pets not included!

No, 1-5 members
melissiaoliver says:
I'm an only child, but my dad is the eldest of nine children, so they had 11 in their house! Seems crazy when I go past my dad's childhood home as it's so small. I never really felt lonely as I had so many cousins to play with, but I've now got 4 boys of my own and I'm glad they've got each other.
sebilucy99 says:
I wish, it's only my older brother, parents and I! My dad was the 9th of 10 children and he loved having a big family; and I love having a big extended family too!
SheilaMilne says:
No, not ours, only four of us.
georgiamb says:
Nope
Terrie_Schultz says:
No, I have one much older half-sister who was not raised with me, so I grew up as an only child. I always longed for a big family with lots of brothers and sisters. You are very lucky!
Yes, 6-10 members
Pastiche says:
We were 8 ... 6 kids plus Mum and Dad.
iijuan12 says:
Yes, and I love them all! I have 7 siblings. (I'm the 7th of 8 children.) My husband is the oldest of 7 children. We currently have 5 children.
athomemomblog says:
I have 3 sisters (4 of us in total), plus my parents. Of course, now I'm grown, so I am working on building my own family! So far we have three boys.

Saving Money for Large Families
Love for a Family
It keeps you united with the Lord, and each other. God has blessed us with the families, and the people He wanted us to be with us.
<3 <3 <3
My family all together
I love my family so much, like you've heard 1,000 times already, but it's true! They rock! Like I said, 4 brothers, and 2 sisters, 2 wonderful parents, and 7 kids in all. No, we don't have pets. Yes, we have TV. No, we aren't weird. A large family is lots of fun to have. We don't have a big house, so we are cramped a lot of the time, but hey! We have a roof over our heads, and food to eat. We only have 3 bedrooms, meaning: a boy room, a girl room, and the parents room. I enjoy sharing a room actually. I hope someday we can add another room or two. That would be nice. Well, there's lots and lots more to say, so I'll sum it all up for you...I LOVE MY FAMILY!

Feel free to share a funny story, or one that you just plain love!

- I love how extended families evolve through marriages and births of new family members (that we automatically love and accept as our own). I don't think I can fully appreciate the blessing of a large family. It must be one of those things you have to experience for yourself. You are very privileged to be surrounded by such loving parents and siblings. When I got pregnant with my second child I found out I was having twins. My dad asked me, as a joke, if I thought I had enough love for two more? The answer, of course, was YES!

- When we have a reunion we need to rent a huge hall. Most of us play instruments so when we all get together we dance, sing and have a wonderful time. Unfortunately the family is spread all over North America and even as far away as New Zealand and Ireland. All of the family never seems to be able to come all at once but we're going to try again soon.

- I've enjoyed meeting you and your family through this lens. I look forward to getting to know all of you better. Now I just live with my husband. My brother is four hours away and we only get to see him and his family about once or twice a year at Christmas and maybe Thanksgiving, except for weddings and funerals. I hope the funerals are all over with, and the weddings haven't started yet.
