This is my family. My immediate family. Want to hear some cool numbers???
10 kids.
7 spouses.
21 grandchildren.
2 great-grandchildren.
Here's how shocking that is to the world outside of Utah:
When Ryan and I took my parents to New York in the fall of 2007, we were able to go to a Wicked cast party. There we met a few of the actors in Wicked, and the directors and other important people who run the show. While we were talking to one guy, we'll call him Mark since I can't remember his real name, he asked how many kids were in our family. I said I was #8 of 10. His jaw dropped!
He then asked, "From the same parents"?
"Yes".
He turned around in his chair and announced this to the room. Yeah.
Then my Dad piped in that #10 had just left the house and he was going to P.A.R.T.Y. when he got home! Mark looked at my Dad and said:
"I think you've had ENOUGH party time"!
LOL! I've never laughed so hard!
I love being able to say those numbers and give people a little shock for their day.
I love having this unique, loveable, never-a-dull-moment, family.
