Ducote Fun

When hearing that Rich has 8 siblings (7 of which are male) people often ask both of us, "What is it like when you are all together?" One of the first words that we answer with is, "Fun!" The Ducote family is an awesome family and I feel so blessed to have married into them-not only are they definitely fun but each of them is also polite, kind, funny and just so easy to get along with. Mom and Dad Ducote definitely have done an amazing job with raising all 9.

When we were in town, one night some of the brothers decided to take on a food challenge-specifically trying to eat 6 saltines in 1 minute. Not really sure how it started but luckily Greg had a box of saltines on his bed (along with a few bags of chips :) Harder than it sounds...Mark was the only one who was able to beat the challenge...he is the reigning Iron Ducote champ though so it makes sense! Joseph wanted in on the challenge, too (as you can see from the pictures). Rich is going to work with him through the year so next year he'll be ready to take Uncle Mark on!

The cousins received recordable books for Christmas so they could hear Nona, Pop Pop's and their aunts and uncles voices on a regular basis. One night we all sat around the kitchen table and recorded the books-we had some good laughs and thankfully finally finished them all!

We spent the rest of the time hanging out, laughing, and of course eating-Joseph was a huge fan of Nona's sauce!

Looking forward to our next visit!
