Courtney: Supermom of 12 Kids in 12 Years!
Meet Courtney, the іпсгedіЬɩe supermom who transformed her family into a real-life “Cheaper by the Dozen” tale. What’s even more surprising? They never planned on having so many kids, and their journey started with a miscarriage. Now, they boast a perfect dozen!
All 12 kids in this family are special to their parents
Clint, their eldest, was born on March 30, 2010. What’s fascinating is that they welcomed 5 boys and then 6 girls after him.
Courtney shared, “It’s іпсгedіЬɩe how it all unfolded. We had all our boys first, and then the last 5 were girls, creating a perfect balance.”
When Clint was born, Courtney didn’t anticipate having more children. She thought 26 was too old, but she didn’t expect the rapid arrivals, including a set of twins.
Initially, they aimed for a maximum of 10 kids, but they felt young and healthy enough to extend their family to 12. Each child represents a new chapter in their life.
The big family is now living their best life together

Now, with 12 children aged 12 and under, Courtney and Chris are all about their family. They’re always busy planning how to mапаɡe the large bunch.
