The couple had twelve children in 12 years, so I think it’s clear what adventures their daily lives are full of. The wife, Courtney, is 37 and the husband, Chris, is 34 and is a pastor. The couple say that when they were planning to get married, they never intended to have so many children, but now they find it “perfect”.
Their eldest son was born in 2010, after which his five brothers and six sisters were born. They have a farm with over 200 animals including lots of pigs, sheep and chickens. After getting married, Coutney was only seven months pregnant. It also happened that she had a miscarriage, so there is a difference of 20 months between two of her children.
Courtney also considers herself very lucky as she is able to take care of so many children and is very content with her life. Today, she already has about 35,000 followers on Instagram, where she likes to talk about her family and her daily life. With no plans for future children, the parents are focusing their efforts on improving the house, including the fact that they want to convert their four-bedroom house into a seven-bedroom house.
The woman says they are all quite close and help each other in everything. She helps her children with all their schoolwork.When they grow up, from the age of 12, they apply for online tutoring. They all have breakfast together at 8 a.m., after which their lessons begin: maths, language lessons, then hours of reading, as well as piano lessons, etc.
At 5 p.m., the family is already having dinner. A typical meal for this large family consists mainly of 24 eggs, or an entire box of cereal, which is already eaten for breakfast. Along with all of this, Courtney even manages to have an Instagram blog. It’s just amazing how they manage to do all this.
“Most people sometimes think we’re crazy to have so many kids,” Courtney said, “but I have a few friends who have bigger families. I am happy with my life and grateful for everything I have. »
