On my flight back to Alaska I sat by this wonderful couple. After talking to the woman for a while she told me she had two kids. The oldest was 17. She asked me how old I thought she was. Awkward. She is 47. Then she asked how many kids I had. I said five boys. "Really? I wouldn't have guessed you're over thirty." I just smiled.
For the record I am 30. No need to point out the freakishness of my idea that starting a family when I was young, like my mother, and my grandmother, and my great grand mother, is less than modern.
I don't think having 5 kids is hard. I think having 5 kids and getting a decent family picture is the bigger challenge:

The boys are getting so big. Are you watering them? m
I hear ya, family pictures are ridiculous....well a GOOD family picture is. Someday maybe we can achieve one too. I'm putting it off at least until Christmas though. Looks like you have had a lot of fun lately. Good to "see" you guys again!
oh - but at least those pictures record life as it is... wiggly boys and all. y'all look so cute.
Those are still GREAT pictures! It is definitely a challenge getting everyone to look at the camera, but you got some great shots anyway! You are one good-looking family!
Steph, you seriously put a smile on my face!
