That couple with "seven" kids....

It's not a secret, we have a big family. Mike and I get asked a lot if we are crazy. To which we smile and laugh. You know, maybe we are. Maybe we are downright crazy!! I mean really, who would want 4 beautiful, happy, healthy, amazing kids in their life, right? That right there is for sure the definition of "crazy" if you ask me. ;-)

The other night before Mike and I went to sleep we were talking about our big family. We talked about how whenever we are all out together we get looks from strangers with faces of shock. How we are known as the couple who has a bunch of kids. How when people ask us if we have any kids and we say four we always get the same response. And we both agreed that it makes us laugh because to us, this is us. It's not a lot of kids...it's Kamryn, Logan, Kensington and Tenley.

Mike and I are THAT couple. This has come to define we we are...and guess what?!? I like the definition! I love having a big family. I cannot imagine a life without all these kids.

A couple weeks ago we went to Mike's company family party. We brought Kamryn and Logan with us and left the babies home with Auntie. We thought it would be nice to do something different and fun with them since they are always so patient when we are busy at home with life and the little ones. Everyone I met wondered where the other kids were and they all said "You guys have like seven kids, right?" For some reason SEVEN was the number they all kept saying. It cracked me up! No, we don't have seven...four, but sometimes it sure does feel like seven.

I used to let people's comments bother me. I've even done blog posts here and there about it. I don't anymore. I realize there's a lot worse things I could be doing than having a big family. A LOT WORSE. At the end of the day we are a big happy family and there's nothing wrong with that. Truth is, there would be no big Sass family without this love that Mike and I share. I'm feeling sentimental today for some reason, and I'm not sure why, but I really hit the jackpot when Mike came into my life. I was only 19 and had no idea the adventure our life would turn into. If you were to ask me 11.5 years ago what my dreams were, they would've come up so short compared to what I have today. I am one lucky girl and I wouldn't trade this life for anything.

So I'll take the title of "That couple with seven kids" any day. I'll wear it proudly and I'll never be ashamed of it. If having a big family is wrong, then I don't want to be right. :)

I hope you all have a great day!! xoxoxo
