When Jeni first met her husband Ray, she was certain of one thing — she didn’t want to have kids. “Ray dreamed of having at least four kids. I thought that was wild. Seriously, who has that many kids?” Jeni shared with Mamamia.
Fast forward more than thirty years, and now, Jeni and Ray are the proud parents of 16 children, a far cry from her initial stance on parenting.
Their kids range in age from Jesse, 35, to Katelyn, 10. The list includes nine boys and seven girls: Jesse, 35; Brooke, 34; Claire, 31; Natalie, 30; Karl, 28; Samuel, 26; Cameron, 25; Sabrina, 24; Tim, 22; Brandon, 20; Eve, 19; Nate, 17; Rachel, 16; Eric, 15; Damian, 14; and Katelyn, 10.As comedian Jim Gaffigan once joked, having a fourth child is like “drowning, then someone hands you a baby.” So, what’s it like for the Bonells with 16 kids?
