We celebrated his birthday using the Toy Story Theme.  Eiseley is a fan of Strawberry Shortcake so we use this for her theme and Eieiel loves farm animals so we use animals on a farm for his theme  Each of the children had their own cake and each blew out their candle April popped out of a wrapped box dressed in a clown attire with balloons in her hand while everyone was singing Pop Goes the Weasel. . It was the cutest party ever and everyone including the adults had a wonderful time. .  A short video of Levi on his Buzz Toy Story  car below. More photos and video to come.

Seth, Sienna and Noah started a new class today Jiu Jitsu Karate and they just love it. They are still in their regular karate classes but this is a separate class with totally different uniforms which we ordered today and a different approach of defending themselves.

We caught up with Adam in Lynchburg riding his motorcycle in freezing termperatures.  Wish everyone was as humble as my nine boys and counting.  







We are so proud of these kids. They have been so busy with their music, Karate, gymnastics and now they are starting a new class.  Today they presented a music show at the Academy and did a wonderful  job.  
Adam drove his motorcycle in freezing weather all the way from Richmond  so he could see and hear them play.




Professor and owner of the Mendez Academy Louis Mendez





Congratulations to these three Ninjas on their karate 
graduation. When they started almost four years ago at the age of 3, I didn't think they would stick with it, but they were determined to go all the way to the top and get their fifth black belt. They hope to teach at the school when they are eleven and looks like they are on their way. They are now advanced enough to start another class next week Ju-jitsu Jujitsu Japanese: 柔術, is a Japanese martial art and a method of close combat for defeating an armed and armored opponent in which one uses no weapon or only a short weapon. More photos will come later of their graduation. They are now getting ready for their Winter music recital for tomorrow.








We passed Adam  riding his motorcycle in Lynchburg the other day.Seth spotted him so I got my camera out and started video taping him.


Our new driveway has been  wonderful. Even in this cold weather we are having so much fun roller 
skating, skate boarding, bicycling and among other things. Today, Savannah and I went flying backwards in roller skates down the hill. It was like a day in my  child hood  with my nine siblings. My sisters told me today that they would be over on Sunday to skate with us. Fortunately, I have been collecting skates for years and have at least 50 pairs children and adults.  Love the time spending with the children and grandchildren and siblings.. Just love the joy of a large family.




Congratulations to these little Ninjas for passing the test and graduating to a higher belt rank.

I'm on my fifth chapter of my book "When I was a little Girl".  Thanks to Gabriel, Mandee and my older children for encouraging me to write the story. I'm hoping to send it to a New York Producer when the book is completed.   I 've written over seven children's book and this will be my first book for a movie. This book is based on an  unbelievable true story and there's no doubt in my mind it will  be a big hit. The only time I have to work on it is from midnight through 3 am but I'm getting a lot accomplished. Gabriel came over and proof read some of it and said it sounded like a movie people would want to watch. Can't wait til its completed.


Snow fun



The children are getting ready to be promoted to a higher belt rank in Karate and Music Recital on Saturday.

Six pure bred Pekingese Puppies will be available in about four weeks . The twins are selling them for $100.00 each to fund  a small portion of their upcoming music camp.  The pet store offered to buy them  but giving everyone a chance first . The  pet store will sell them for $800.00 a piece.


 Fraternal Twins, Luke and Levi, some days we can't tell them apart, especially when they are asleep.

We are so pleased with our new paved  circular driveway, also going all the way around the property.  The kids can't wait to go skating, skate boarding, bicycling, jogging  and many other activities  that's if they have time. They spend everyday including Saturdays in classes.  Sienna is now in a private Gymnastic school and just loves it. 2014 has been the best year  ever so far.  Hope the same for each of you.

KS students.

Let the peace that Christ gives control your thinking, because you were all called together in one body to have peace. Always be thankful.
Colossians 3:15
There a total of 13 children, not including in-laws and grandchildren, which brings the number up to 25 in this family. We are so proud to say that none of us have ever touched or drank any sort of alcohol, including wine. I am so proud to be sharing this.

Let them give thanks to the Lord for his love and for the miracles he does for people.
Psalms 107:8
200 New Vintage Hot wheels we purchased today on Craigslist for Luke, Levi and Ieliel.

Seth, Sienna and Noah learned all about Indians and in the Science Museum and enjoyed making a quilt on the loom.


 Mom bought Suri, Eieseley and Sienna a vintage coat with a bonnet just like the ones we had as a child.



Life is a gift, wake up every morning and appreciate what you have. Always be thankful for the little things in life, no matter how little it is, and be thankful for the littlest things in life and more will come your way. Always pray and thank God for this blessing! 

The children are going into their fourth year of Karate/Martial Arts and you can see some wonderful videos of them on this site. Some , we haven't gotten a chance to post but hope to soon.  The children have been enrolled also at the Mendez Music Academy going on three years and are doing marvelous with their music.
Sienna, Seth and Noah are also taken Gymnastics but starting  next week, Sienna will be taking private lessons and the boys will continue to take group lessons. 



 



Home School Class.
  Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. I Timothy 4:12

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.
Ephesians 4:29





There a total of 13 children, not including in laws and grandchildren, which brings the number up to 25 in this
family. We are so proud  to say that none of us have ever touched or drank any sort of alcohol including wine. I am so proud to be sharing this. Also, we have never been to a Beach, wore a swimsuit or been out in the sun very much. Our mom has done something even greater than this, she has never watched television. 
This is just a small portion of our home library and more books are coming in through the mail daily. We have every book you can think of and if we don't have it we can order it for you.This room is where we spend the most  our time when the children aren't in Lynchburg taking classes. This is also where the grand children love checking out books to take home. Mom has given each of her grandchildren including Abby an entire set of Dr. Seuss's books and she has also given us older children a set right from her Library.   We are hoping to upload a video of our entire library soon. 

These two boys, Levi and Luke are actual fraternal twins, conceived at the same time and from the same batch of embryos. One was frozen  and later was welcome into the world joining his twin brother. They are beginning to look more and more alike. They also have a triplet still frozen.

The Important Things in Life

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become.
You never know who these people may be - a roommate, a neighbor, a professor, a friend,  or even a complete stranger - but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some profound way.
Sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.
Illness, injury, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved straight flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.
The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are sometimes the most important ones.

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again.
 Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you.
You can make anything you wish of your life. Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets. Be strong and motivated and you will be able to move a mountain.


Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
Thomas A. Edison

Sienna left her sparring gear valued at $399.00 on the sidewalk down from the Karate School last night and someone from the school took the gear inside so it would be safe. We thank the Lord for wonderful friends and for letting us be in a positive atmosphere everyday with honest and trust- worthy people. The FEKS Karate school is like a second family to us where everyone looks after each other. Wonderful People.

We will have a new addition to the family tomorrow.  Its not another baby, at least not yet.
Its a Podengo all the way from Oklahoma.. Post photos later of Biscuit.




Mom on the day of the twins, Seth and Sienna's  birth. They were both healthy and went straight to the newborn nursery and have been doing well since. That same year, my parents prayed for one baby and God blessed them with not only two, but two healthy, strong babies. My parents went through InVitro Fertilization and the doctors gave them a 5 percent chance of it working, especially since they chose not to do assisted hatching on the embryos. After going through extensive and expensive medical testing, they were approved for the procedure.They had no idea that it would cost them over $45,000.00 self pay in the first cycle, but it worked on the first try and it was worth every penny. I remembered when mom called us from NCCRM Clinic on the day of her ultrasound and she said "You all are having twin siblings." It was so hard to believe, but it was true. I thought to myself, how in the world is she going to carry two babies, but she did it like a Pro. They have been the joy of our lives, as well as all the little ones. The twins started walking at 9 months and were climbing all the way up steps and monkey bars, also at nine months. Their Pediatrician made the comment "Wow they are very advanced in Gross Motor skills definitely" We kept up with them the best we could and they certainly kept us going.  Now both of them are working on a Jr  black belt and plan on pursuing higher degrees and  higher belt levels. What a miracle and a wonderful blessing.Since then mom has given birth to three more boys,Noah, Luke and Seth who are also a blessing and hope to have one more some day.
If anyone has a book to write, it should be my mom. She underwent seven IVF cycles, two miscarriages including losing Levi's twin and three frozen embryos cycles, where only one actually took which was a total of a half million dollars in fertility treatments.  She also underwent one surgery with zero anesthesia. 
She's had a total of 12 documented Caesareans Sections, the most documented in the world. My parents also adopted an orphan from St. Petersburg, Russia and raised him with their own resources and no help from anyone including his surgeries.  Someone recently told her,  "if you write a book I will definitely be the first to buy it."  Believe it or not mom was still  hooked up to an IV in this photo. It was taken right after she had a Classical Vertical Caesarean Section, the toughest type.



When my mom was a little girl she  learned the entire Bible all the way through. She can quote every scripture in the Bible including every book in the Old and New Testament.  I've decided to followed in her foot steps and study the Bible myself.  I didn't know that Bragging  was a sin until recently and studying the scriptures has taught me to humble myself and  let God use and teach me the way of his word. I also found out that braggers are depressed people who want to be seen by others. They really don't have anything to brag about but they come up with everything in the world so you can think highly of them. If you have God's word in your heart you don't need to shout and boast about your trips,new cars and other accessories because in the end it will all perish but God's word is everlasting.  Here is a verse about bragging. .“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. ...

Yes these boys are actually twins. They came from the same batch of embryos.

  Christmas ......  For many people, Christmas is a time of sorrow. They don't have the extra money to buy presents for their children, family, and friends. Many are saddened at Christmastime when they think of their loved ones who will not be able to come home for various reasons. Turkey dinners may be only a wish and not a reality for some. Yet, Christmas can be a season of great joy. It is a time of God showing His great love for us. It can be a time of healing and renewed strength. Christmas is when we celebrate the birth of the Christ child. God sent His Son, Jesus, into the world to be born. His birth brought great joy to the world. Shepherds, wise men, and angels all shared in the excitement of knowing about this great event. They knew this was no ordinary baby. The prophets had told of His coming hundreds of years before. The star stopped over Bethlehem just to mark the way for those who were looking for this special child. People have choices in life, either to be sad or to be happy and we chose to a be happy no matter what the circumstances are because there's always someone worse off than you. Do the best you can to help people who are in need and please if you do this do not brag to the world what you have done. Only God needs to know this but your joy comes when you see what you've done for someone. In the eyes of God, everyone is the same, no Mr. and Mrs Goody Face and if everyone was like Christ, the world would be a better and happier place.

Christmas Traditions.  The children just love to decorate the tree with Cliffords a tradition we started four
years ago.  The tree is our Christmas Clifford Tree surrounded with  Cliffords and Clifford books.
Every day until  New Years ,the kids choose a different Clifford book off the tree or wagon and read it out loud. Seth, Sienna and Noah are the three who are reading  so the younger children have so much fun listening to them.  
We also do a Christmas Breakfast among many other exciting things like Christmas caroling,skiing and mountain climbing.

Have you ever seen a child this gorgeous?  BarrieLynne was such a beautiful little girl and never complained about anything. She was definitely an Angel.  Eighteen years ago she went to be with the Lord and is our Guardian Angel now and we can't wait to see her again someday. She favors the twins very much especially little Seth. We believe that BarrieLynne sent them to us to help us. We see her in them everyday especially those dark beautiful eyes and good nature.We love and miss you very much Barrie Lynne.

Seth, Sienna and Noah will be participating in the board breaking Seminar at the FEKS Karate School.  The goal is to teach the benefits of overcoming obstacles,focus, concentration and developing confidence in preparation for the break.
They will be learning to break  the board  with their bare hands.  Pizza and drinks will follow the Seminar.This Seminar will also teach them confidence and give them a strong self esteem to help them face the world we live in as well as give them confidence to stand up to unhealthy peer pressures and say no to things they know that are harmful.                                                                                                                
The twins also completed their  course book in piano and were promoted to their next level.. They started out in the Primary books two years ago. . With the help of their mom daily they are doing am excellent job learning new chords and they are working on several Christmas pieces. They are also working on singing a duet for Christmas.
