We are a 9 person family, Myself, my husband, and our 7 children. Two of our daughters have aged out of other subs so I'm only requesting for them here. My husband works full-time, and I am a stay at home mom, someday when they are all bigger, I hope to be a flight attendant. We are a big gamer family, but it's a lot cheaper entertainment to buy a game that we'll play many times, than take our XL family to the movies or an event. My husband works full-time and makes a decent wage but being in debt and having so many kidlets makes it hard to break even, much less get ahead.

Courtney is 20 and the oldest. Her siblings commonly refer to her as "Second Mama." She graduated this year and is currently trying to figure out what she wants to do with this next stage in life. I'm hoping to convince her to attend college soon.

Hannah is 18, all she wanted for her birthday this year was money so she could get a tattoo of my name, it was super sweet. She is planning on graduating in June and had a very bad experience this year when she tried to move out to help a friend. She has a big heart but has the shortest fuse of my kiddos and is frequently the volume issue in our house. She has a louder sense of style than most of her siblings and loves our cats to pieces.

Lily is the oldest of our underagers, she just turned 17 in October, something she just couldn't wait for. She has the most natural artistic talent in our family. She loves to sketch, sculpt, recently she has gotten into watercolor painting, though her plan far her future and her favorite will always be photography. She also loves reading, scary movies and wants to make the world a better place. She is currently the only one of my children who attends an online school instead of a brick and mortar one.

Aidan is 14 and our only boy, people tent to feel bad for him, which he happily responds to with "It's ok, at least I get my own room!", he's pretty ok with it. He loves Pokemon, Magic the Gathering, Hamilton the Musical, and hopes to one day be the next Alton Brown. He also has a kidney disease that requires chemotherapy about once a year, he is overdue at the moment due to insurance issues and I'm sure he will be going in before christmas.

Aria is 11 and a friend to everyone, she gets top marks in school and hopes to go to MIT to become a mechanical engineer. She also loves to dance and is a pretty big people pleaser. She is always willing to try new things and also willing(even if she doesn't want to) to help when I ask. She loves being a big sister and sometimes forgets that she's still little herself.

Gwenie is 8 and my little dragon. She desperately wants to be a gymnast for the rest of her life. I wish I could give that to her. She loves Star Wars and after watching the original trilogy told me that Leia was so much better than a Luck because he was a whiner, though she LOVES all renditions of Anakin and of course now Rey.

Kenzie is 3, turning 4 next month. With 6 older siblings she is very much the baby, adored and spoiled by everyone. Boy does she know it. She is also quite precocious and is not afraid to stand her ground with the older kids.

Please feel free to ask me anything else you'd like to know :)
