We’ve also heard: 1. “Were they all planned?” 2. “You’ve got your hands full.” 3. “Do you know what causes that?” 4. “Do they all have the same dad?” 5. “Better you than me!” 6. “Are you trying for a basketball team?” 7. “Your uterus needs a vacation!” 8. “I can’t even handle one!” 9. “How do you afford all of them?” 10. “Stay off of her!” 11. “Do you drive a bus?” 12. “You need a hobby!” 13. “Do you own a TV?” 14. “Are you Mormon?” 15. “You don’t look like you’ve had that many kids.” 16. “Is contraception against your religion?” 17. “There’s no way you can love that many kids.” 18. “Do they all get along?” 19. “You don’t love your daughters.” 20. “Are you going to have more?” 21. “I could never homeschool that many.” 22. “You’re overachievers.” 23. “Your poor husband!” 24. “Do you get any sleep?” 25. “You just want the tax refund.” Despite all the opinions and snarky comments, we wouldn’t change a thing. Every one of our children was prayed for and is deeply loved. We know our big family might be surprising to some, but to us, it’s our greatest joy. @whataboutjoshjones #couplegoals #marriedlife #married #funny #mom #momlife #girlmom #dad #dadlife #girldad #boymom #boydad #utah #lds #utahmom #bigfamily #cute #girls #sisters #family #viral #trending
I didn’t think it was even possible when I first heard the diagnosis: Cerebral Palsy. Rocky’s birth was beautiful. It was peaceful and calm. He came out healthy, crying just seconds after delivery. Wasn’t CP caused by a lack of oxygen at birth? That’s what I’d always believed. Sometimes it is. But I quickly found out there are other causes too. One of the most common is a stroke in utero. When the neurologist explained that, so much started making sense. The lopsided crawling, stiff arm, his hand in a fist, his tongue quiver. As heartbreaking as it was to hear, it also gave us a direction. We finally knew what we were dealing with and could start figuring out how to help him. A few weeks later, I was cleaning my office when I came across an old pamphlet tucked inside a book. The cover read “Hyperbarics and Stroke.” In that moment, I felt the Spirit so clearly say. “This is going to help him.” I knew it wasn’t a coincidence. It was an answer. I started digging into research. While every doctor I talked to told me there weren’t studies on CP and HBOT, they couldn’t deny the results with stroke patients. And I couldn’t deny the prompting I felt. They warned us it would be expensive, complicated, and not likely covered by insurance, but Josh didn’t even blink. “If you felt that prompting, then that’s all I need to know.” So we took the leap and got a chamber. There has definitely been a learning curve. But now, just weeks in, we’re watching something unfold we didn’t know would actually be possible. His hand is loosening. His movements are stronger. Even his physical & occupational therapists have seen progress that’s surprised them. He’s now walking, running, jumping and even learning to walk up and down stairs. He’s started using his left hand to play, sign, and eat. Things he never did before. I know there is still so much unknown. But this feels sacred. Like an act in faith and trust in God’s voice. Through Him, we’re not just helping Rocky adapt, we’re helping him heal. And I’m so, so grateful we listened. @whataboutjoshjones #cerebralpalsy #cerebralpalsyawareness #hbot #hyperbaricoxygentherapy #stroke #momlife #boymom #family #familytime #bigfamily #neurorehab #sahm
*this has been fact checked by TikTok and found to be false; the average family of 8 takes approximately 90 minutes to get ready for church 😂 @whataboutjoshjones #couplegoals #marriedlife #married #sunday #church #pregnant #mom #momlife #girlmom #dad #dadlife #girldad #boymom #boydad #Love #utah #lds #utahmom #goals #momgoals #dadgoals #bigfamily #cute #girls #sisters #family #viral #trending
Our Savior didn’t just come to die for us. He came to live for us. Through His perfect example, He taught us how to love more deeply, forgive more freely, and walk more closely with God. Every moment of His life was a lesson in how to live ours with purpose and compassion. As we reflect today, we remember His life so we can strive to be more like Him. We remember His teachings so we can speak and act with greater kindness and faith. We remember His sacrifice because He gave His life so we could find ours again. He overcame death. He rose again. He lives. Because He lives, we have hope. We have joy. We have reason to live. He lives today. And because of Him, so can we. @whataboutjoshjones #christian #happyeaster #heisrisen #helives #faith #churchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaints #togetherforever #jesuschrist #temple #mormon #couplegoals #marriedlife #married #mom #momlife #dad #dadlife #Love #utah #lds #utahmom #momgoals #dadgoals #bigfamily #family #reels #instagramreels #viral #trending
