We thank God for each of our children and count them as true treasures!!
Psalm 127:3
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
the fruit of the womb a reward."

Shaun and Nicole Alexander, parents of 13, balance family life with Hall of Fame honors for the NFL star

Shaun and Nicole Alexander have a big family of 13 children, having 10 daughters and three sons: Heaven, Trinity, Eden, Joseph, Justus, Temple, Honor, Jedidiah, Torah, Eternity, Hosanna, Hope, and Judea since their marriage in 2002. In 2017, the couple went through heartbreak after their ninth child, Torah, died 70 days after birth.

Shaun rose to prominence as the Seahawks’ starting running back from 2000 to 2008, earning MVP honors in 2005 with a record-setting season that included 27 rushing touchdowns and 28 total touchdowns from scrimmage. Alexander is also in the list of nominees to the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year, as one of 128 nominees in the recent era, pushing past first-time and returning nominees. The rest of the nominees include a former Chargers quarterback, Philip Rivers, who also shares the experience of raising a large family.
