On Tuesday, this last week my good "twin-mommy" Melanie along with her identical twin 8 mth old girls and two of her three sons came down to our lake cabin to spend a few days soaking up the sun with our 5 kids. Between the two of us we have 10 children! Both of us got surprise twins for numbers 4 and 5! Melanie was due a week after me but had her girls 5 days before Eli and Ellie were born. We met on Twins Magazine message board and she only lives 2 hours 15 mins away! It is so exciting when we get to see each other. So we spent 2 days with 4, 8 month old twins, two six year olds, a 5 year old, a 4 year old, and a 3 year old. We survived and had a blast too! We can't wait to do it again! Melanie and I are working on being able to get together for the twins' birthdays come November. Conviently for me it is deer hunting so Quinten wont mind if I go for a couple days because he will be busy deer hunting anyway.
So I will leave you with pictures of our "Twin Fest 2010".

I'm visiting and also a farmer's wife. No twins but at 48, I have 5 & 7 year old girls, so I am still a bit of a novelty. Love MN and spent many weeks fishing there as a girl. Learn more about me at

Well thanks for visiting! I am not technically a Farmer's wife. My husband grew up on a farm and we live on land surrounded by his Dad's and two of his brother's land which they farm. My husband and two of his other brothers run a family construction company. Certainly never a dull moment in our lives!
