Beach

This was my second time to Topsail and all in all it was a pretty solid week.

It’s not always easy taking 6 kiddos to the beach- and expecting the littles to get along at all times.

Because they won’t. And that’s why it is good to have big kids as well.

To simply remind you that there are ups and downs but at the end of the day- this time flies.

There was a time when I thought I wanted a ton of kids.

And someone asked me recently if I wanted more kids.

Um no. 4 is enough. My plate is so full

Because I do have my 5th baby in this girl….

I am tapped out. There is just no other way around it.

And while I love these kiddos more than anything in the world, it’s time to refocus a bit on myself.

I am happy I started my family relatively young- because I have fun with my older boys like nothing else.

But I am 100 percent realizing that I need to figure out myself as well. What’s next.

And did I mention that my oldest turned 17? Do you realize how close to 20 that is??

I will never forget the day I had him.. thinking I was too young, that I had no idea what I was doing, that I seriously wasn’t prepared….

But it’s all good. He teaches me new things every day.

When Blake makes his joker face….

These pics were all taken with my small samsung nx30 or whatever it is called. I haven’t gone through my big camera pics yet. Back to hotel living. Hoping things settle down soon.
