From One to Five

Up until last week I never could picture myself with multiple kids. Before Korban it was hard to imagine just one. But this past week I had the opportunity to go to Twin Falls and be a mother of 5 for several days. My brother, Russ, and his beautiful wife, Tia, were headed to Costa Rica for a week of hiking through the rainforest, traveling down rapids, and enjoying some beautiful beaches. With the help of my dad, we spent the week getting the kids off to school, scouts, and practices, helping them clean and do homework, and trying to get them to eat and bath. Korban just loved having older boys around. They made him laugh so hard and gave him the motivation to start moving around and trying to roll over. Having 5 little boys ranging from ages 10 to 6 months really put the whole parent thing into perspective. Some would call it birth control. But as scary as that many kids at once are, those boys were great. They are sweet little boys. But I know I couldn't have done it without my dad being there all week, and later my mom coming to relieve me. It is nice that we have family all close where we can do that for one another.
