Jimbob Robert
Sells cars, real estate, And spends as much time at home as possible.
Michelle Annette
Is a stay at home mother who home schools (or home schooled where the older ones are concerned) all her children. Has the patience of a saint. Not just because she has 19 kids but because she always seems so calm even when they get in trouble and she has to get on to them. I mean I wouldn't be screaming at them or anything but I couldn't be that calm. :D
So their goal worked. They said they wanted to do the show to inspire others and they did because I've seen some things they do that I could stand to change in myself. I don't think they're perfect but no one is and it's nice to see a big happy family. Reminds me of my own childhood.

So the duggars answer questions. :D
The question that sticks out in my mind is when the one woman asked "don't you worry about your carbon footprint since everyone else (just look at celebrities and the things they buy, walk outside and look at the garbage thrown down by everyday people you cant tell me that they're doing good for the environment) is doing they're part?" I thought Jimbob answer was perfect he pointed out (which I already knew) that they're carbon footprint per individual is lower than the average persons. They buy most of what they have used from clothes to toys to bunk beds even their kitchen appliences were bought used. (They tell you in their book)
He's right. I mean look at the mall. How many people do you see that go in there and buy from all the stores? Their spending tons of money on brand new clothing and toys and books because they (especially teenager) are "to good" to wear or use used items. We should worry less about the amount of people the duggars have and more about the amount of things we allow our kids and ourselves to buy brand new when we can have a used item that works just as well. We need to worry more about how teenagers don't even flinch to spend 50 bucks on a pair of pants when they could go to a used clothing store and get perfectly good clothes for much less. Almost all my clothes come from goodwill and none of them have stains or holes (and people have complimented me on my clothes) and ALL the pants I have bought there have been under 10 dollars. The shirts as well. Although I do understand not buying some things used like underwear or shoes things like that. I don't do that either.
Anyway just found it ironic that people are worried about the duggars "carbon footprint" when the odds are they and their family are probably doing more harm than the duggars.

The first grandduggar has arrived! Mackynzie Renee Duggar was born on october 8th 2009 weighing in at 8 pounds and was 19.5 inches long at 6:39 p.m. :D She is so cute!
God bless her and her parents. I watched the episode they just played and Josh delivered her! That is so shocking to me. Not that I think it's bad because there were other people there that actually knew a thing or two about giving birth (his mother, the birthing teacher/doula, and Jill although Jill is not as experienced :D)
Interesting fact: Mackynzie shares the same birthday as Johannah

I haven't written in awhile so I'll try to catch up.
About the episode "Duggars on a diet" First of all I want to know what Jimbob duggar was eating while he was at the weight loss place. At first I thought it was a candy bar but then the nutritionist lady was talking to him while he ate so I don't know. If I was Jimbob I wouldn't worry about losing weight. I mean it's not like the guy is fat or anything. He looks normal to me. He pointed out his gut but most guys when they hit about their 40s get that.
Duggars "say yes to the dress" I thought it was great. All those dresses and they had to search forever just to find one that was modest. But hey they were went there because they offered them the dress for free so you get what you pay for. :) No I'm just joking it was actually a very beautiful dress. I like when they asked one of the girls (it's been a little while since I watched it so I don't remember which. I keep thinking it was jessa though) "what do you think of that dress" and she turned around and said "Oh is that a dress I thought it was a slip.......no I'm just joking but it isn't really to modest".
"20 years 20 duggars" I especially loved this episode. One of my favorites. I enjoyed every minute. They sat michelle down and asked her if she could remember what happened in each pregnancy and then asked her to also describe something about each of their traits. I can't picture Jessa as their srubborn child, though she does have a great sense of humor. But I think Johannah is really testing her boundaries lately but all kids do that so this isprobably just a phase. Anyway the wedding was beautiful and I loved the descriptoins of each of their children. Over all this is definatly one of my favorite episodes.
