My mom had 19 children and spent the majority of her life trying to give us the best childhood possible! We got the whole crew back together to surprise her for her 60th birthday 🎉 Happy birthday, Mom! A caption can never describe just how much you mean to us all, but I pray this is your best year yet 🤍

Taking my 86-year-old Grandmother to @Dollywood for the FIRST TIME ever 🥹 Will & Teddy sure loved spending quality time with their Great Grandma, aunts and uncles! I guess 86 is the new 36 🚂 🪕🍂

My parents took “Cheaper By The Dozen” LITERAL 👀 19 kids + 50 grandkids & counting 📺 👶🏻 🎉

They only get one childhood… Be present 🙏🏼

The worst parenting advice I’ve ever received … 🫣 💁🏻‍♂️ 👶🏻
