the QUADS are 21!

So it was just a mere 21 years ago that my wonderful brothers and sisters were born....Happy Birthday Greg, Jordan, Heidi and Amy!

(if you ever read this...greg and jordan you are on missions, you have an excuse)

Most of those who know me know I have quadruplets for brothers and sisters! (not to be confused with quadriplegic, there has been a mix-up in the past) I think back 21 or so years ago having quadruplets wasn't so common, because nowadays people are having like 7 or 8 babies at a time octomom style.....but back then the quads were quite the story, even got a little news time ( Baby X 4 they were called) and a documentary video that was actually still seen in childhood development when I was in high school. Kind of funny....

Posted by PicasaThis picture is so cute, from left to right there is Amy, Heidi, Jordan and Greg. I just have to give my parents serious props. I don't think you could fully appreciate what it would be like to have a 5 year old, a 2 year old and 4 babies (with Tay arriving a mere 2 years later) until you have kids of your own! Seriously, I don't know how in the world they did it! Day by day I guess? What else is there!
Well, we had a fun time celebrating their birthdays this weekend! Greg is currently serving a mission in Lima, Peru and Jordan is serving a sign language mission in Rochester, New York. We were sad they weren't here to celebrate, although we may have Jordans mission cell phone number and we may have called and left him a happy birthday message on his phone because he didn't answer....
We can't wait for them to be home June 17th!
