The Circus, the circus

Everyone loves the circus…

The preacher and his wife have four kids, the Beck’s have three kids and we have one. When you total these numbers up, you get a total of 8! WOW!! Eight kids in one house for a total of eight hours makes for a circus. The GREAT news is, they ALL GET ALONG…(most of the time). The bad news is, when one baby is hungry; they all three want to eat! Lyneil is so good. She just goes on like she only has her three boys. We are thankful they all play as well together as they do. We just open the door and let them roam the back yard. It is not the ‘usual’ that we have Payson (he is 5 months old). Usually Neil only has the oldest three (ages 3, 2, and 1) plus her three boys (ages 3, 2, and 4 months)…whew!

Just writing the ages makes me tired. Lyneil and the preacher’s wife (Lisa) switch off days during the week. They generally keep the little babies but trade off the older kids. It is great. Here are some pictures of last week when the Clapp’s were working on their house and we had all four Clapp kids.

Kaden (6 mo.), Payson (5 mo) and Brayson (4.5 mo) - They are all trying to hold hands...Isn't that sweet. I think that Brayson is trying to eat Payson!

The youngest of the boys. These are three tough little boys. They put up with a lot of noise, love, hugs, and business from the rest of the clan.

Braxton has a wagon full of Beck/Clapp kids. I have not made it to the camera today, but it does sound like I hear the footsteps of awaking children upstairs. We have 8 again today!

We all survive...mostly. Although the tomatoes plants Karl put together Sunday didn’t seem to make it! They need a better protection plan! Brazos was so funny. He was quick to come and tell me that ‘Karl gonna get him’. Him is Logan. Oh, well! Some days are just good and some better than others!

Speaking of circus. Amy, Jorge, mom and dad all come up this last weekend. Being right on top of things as usually, I only took one video, NO pictures. I am FIRED! So, here are Amy and Jorge boxing it out. Amy and I KO’d Jorge once each and then he retaliated!

Thanks for the fun weekend y’all! We love ya!
