WilkisonQuints Show episode 2

Well, we still haven't settled on a better name yet but I did like all your suggestions. For this episode we show the new van that National Instruments got us. We were able to go pick it up on Saturday thanks to a few extra people who came and watched the kids while we went. The van is really big and actually pretty comfortable.

I am still debating on how often we do the show. It looks like it might be every other week instead of every week but I think I will be able to get one up next Monday as well because Rachelle's mom and dad are both going to be in town. I actually edited this episode while holding Kaydence for some of the time, Kyndall for some of the time, and Ryder for some of the time.

I originally thought I would have time for these on Saturday and Sunday but we have found that those days tend to be some of our more difficult days because we take care of them with fewer people. We have found that we can do it with just Rachelle and I but it requires almost all our time. On Sunday when Rachelle and I were taking care of them by ourselves, I actually found myself carrying around three babies (Rustin, Kassidy, and Kaydence) for a brief period because Rachelle already had her hands full. I wish I would have got video of that but MY hands were full. I guess I need to train Riley on how to operate the video camera.

Doing great Jayson. Keep up the good work. Maybe you could call the show, "Qunituplety Tales" and have some kind of sweet jingle in the beginning. Or maybe, "My Dad's van is bigger than yours"

OH boy, big vans! Growing up my parents had a 15 seater van! I know what a new experience it is to drive those, practice practice practice!!

Congrats on the new van!!

Oh my gosh, Riley andKaiya are so adorable. I bet they are GREAT siblings! CONGRATS!

I hope your older kids have good booster seats, it looks like Kaiya is drowning on those big van seats. It would be a shame to lose either of your two big ones if that van were in an accident.

Hilarious, love the show!

I can tell already that you and Rachelle have tamed the BEAST.

The babies are scrumptous!

Your mom had a blast and I'm sure loved every minute of her time with all of you.

I loved that Victoria called the van the blessed beast on Rachelle's blog. Too funny. I also agree with Megz that you should call the show "My Dad's van is bigger than yours". It made me snort...

Wow! I love reading your blog. We just had our own little guy (just one) three weeks ago and I think of you and your wife often during the night as I have such a difficult time caring for one. I wish I could come volunteer and help you all, but I would have to bring my own, and you are probably not looking to add another little baby to the brood. Good luck and hopefully when I am in a better position I can come offer a hand!
