Do you remember when: Kate showed us her post-partum belly? Her tummy tuck (which turned out fantastic)? Her marriage to Jon (apparently couples of multiples have triple the divorce rate)? The vacations? Moving homes? Kate is taking us down memory lane complete with Q & A. From their first episode to the current season. And according to her it couldn't have come at a better time because her once adorable babies are knocking on teenage doors, attitudes and all.

Q: What was your favorite trip and what was your favorite part of that trip?
A: Hands down their favorite trip was Australia and New Zealand. The kids still ask to go back, probably because Bindi Irwin as a personal zoo guide. Plus the koala cuddling and the (debilitating) sky jump. (Other vacations include Hawaii, Salt Lake City, Alaska, Maine).

Q: Do you plan to start dating soon or are you happy being single?

A: If the right person presents themselves, absolutely. (Kate has been rumored to be dating millionaire Jeff Prescott but says the rumors are false.) She claims there's no time.

Q: How do you stay so organized raising 8 kids? What tips would you have for me to become that organized?
A: Kate enjoys organization. The root is thinking ahead and being prepared. Everything has a place, cooking and freezing can be a reward, actually getting sleep is a possibility if you plan ahead.

Q: What is your favorite part of having such a large family?
A: They don't need a party to have a party.

Q: Do you guys ever watch old episodes of the show?
A: Absolutely. The used to have TVs with DVD players and would pick their show every time.

When all is said and done, there are no regrets because every moment of their childhood is caught on camera.
