I have noticed that Rhett is not as photogenic as his sisters were at that age. Also noticed Alyssa does not post nearly as much as she did when the girls were little. I am wondering if the excitement over finally having a boy has been short lived and the reality of having five kids has sunk in.

According to Katie’s stories Travis “messed up his hands playing with the boys.” There is a shot of both hands all bandaged. Looks like he got burned from fireworks. I guess she knows better than to come out and say it but really she should have just kept it to herself.
Anyhow they have a 12 hour drive home and she has to drive. They are bringing Ellie to help. I guess he can’t do much with Hailey in the state he is in.If there ever was a time to stop over at C&E’s place this is it but evidently they have to do the whole drive in one shot.

Josie’s stories showed Kelton making dinner (spaghetti) for everyone. Looks like Jane did not have to cook tonight. That’s a positive.

If Gil’s dad is not doing very well then it’s possible a lot of them are going because it may be the last time they have this get together. On the one hand there are probably concerns about it being too much for Bill and Jane, but on the other hand he may not be around this time next year and I imagine the grandkids would regret not going.
I am surprised Alyssa is making the trip again, since she was there not too long ago.ETA: My guess is the ones who are concerned about it being too much are the ones who are not going.
I really hope that those who are going actually pitch in and help. Maybe when they see their grandparents in person they will realize they aren’t up to doing the things they were able to do in the past.

I left Canada in 1991 and to this day people tell me they can pick out my Canadian accent. I never thought I had an accent but I guess the way I say certain words gives me away.
I volunteered in my kids’ classrooms when they were in elementary school and some of the little kids would ask me to say “house” and giggle.-

She struck me as a bit of a poser, and the Librarian Chic comment just confirmed it. She also combined my most hated vocal tics, vocal fry and sentences that end with a lazy, drawn out word. I was quite sure she’d know FJ, and was happy to be wrong.
I was rooting for Chris because of his story. It also doesn’t hurt that he’s easy on the eyes. (And good on him for crossing out the first name of Kipling— if you’re not sure of the spelling, no point in guessing.)
Today was a strange day for me. The high dollar clues tended to be easier than the low dollar clues, pretty much across the board, and I did great in the war movies category even though I never watch war movies. FJ was an instaguess. At least I escape the donut table this week.
37% federal tax on game show winnings, plus state taxes if you live in a taxing state. So, about $500 and $1K?
California takes a cut of the winnings even if you don’t live there. If you make money there they tax it.
I remember reading somewhere that the city where taping happens takes a cut too, but I don’t know if this is a fact.
So basically if you finish third and don’t live within driving distance of the studio you pay to be on Jeopardy!.-

Funny. Carlin has shots of the pristine white Love Sac couch in her stories.
Gotta wonder if she reads here.-

Hopefully Travis will convince Katie that a smaller family is better.
I know all of the kids have had the whole “children are blessings” drilled into them from childhood but I still hope a few will say “ no thanks”.I am the oldest of five. Back when I was a kid larger families were the norm. Still, when my mother had her last baby I was nine and I remember hoping that would be it. No one prompted me at all, it was just how I felt.
The only positive I can see is that in general the grandkids seem to be spaced out more than KJ and Gil’s kids were. With the exception of Tori’s kids and a couple of Alyssa’s and Erin’s there seems to be a spacing of at least 2 years between babies. KJ had one every year.

The dirty couch was the downstairs leather one. The 10k Love Sac is upstairs. It has washable covers but I doubt they have (or will) ever bothered to wash them. Have not seen a close up photo of that couch lately but my guess is it is also kind of nasty.
Of course it is newer and given the actual amount of time they have spent in that house since they moved in it may have escaped the fate of the downstairs couch.-

I had forgotten about Carlin changing Zade’s diaper on the couch. 🤢
Never did that with my kids.
Now that I’m taking care of my grandson I still don’t do it. Despite having some impressively stain proof upholstery on my couch I still put a towel under him when he sits with us because he still has the occasional spit up episode.
You would think that after growing up with nothing and wanting all the “best things” now Carlin would be more careful with her purchases. But no worries, if the couch gets too gross they will just get another one.
I have not seen the money tree in their yard. I do wonder where they keep it?

Yes that couch was icky. It seems to be a soft leather that scuffs easily. The dog gets up on it all the time. I wondered how it would age when they bought it but I assumed they would care for it given that it looks pretty pricey. Silly me.
Josie and Alyssa have similar couches. I’m guessing Alyssa’s is the most pristine .

Carlin put up a reel and talked about Evan walking Layla down the ISLE some day.
Josie posted about the girls chasino FIREFLY’S.
Alyssa has a YouTube video up showing off her school room organization.She had drawers for PUZZELS and POPCICLE STICKS.
Isn’t it nice that these young women are continuing the tradition of stellar homeschooling with their own children? 🙄

Just now, Salacious Kitty said:
I also just saw the pictures of Carlin's jump. There's absolutely no chance of her following up with the 5 day EEG. As far as they're concerned, she's cured.
Until she gets pregnant again and the cycle starts once more.
I seem to remember one of the doctors they saw said the seizures could have been pregnancy/ childbirth related. I think she had the first seizure / fainting spell while she was in labor. Once she had the baby she did not rest and give herself a chance to recover, plus I bet she didn’t eat enough so she could lose the baby weight quickly. Zade is over a year old now so she has recovered and surprise, surprise, no more episodes. 🙄Just speculation on my part of course. Interesting how the episodes were good for sympathy and vlog content. Maybe there was more going on but it’s funny how she has had a miraculous recovery after the novelty wore off.

"Might have a seizure" Carlin jumped off a cliff at the lake and then swam to Evan, who was sitting in a kayak not too close by, without a life jacket in sight. Glad she didn't have an episode while doing any of that in a deep part of the lake. What a story line. I'm not saying that Carlin didn't really struggle with seizures in the beginning, but those two knew what was going on and how the doctors were attempting to get them under control long before they shared even a small amount of that info with their "Stew Crew". Don't think they have ever really shared much. They have to share a little now because she wants to get pregnant again. Makes my stomach churn at how manipulative they have been with their channel.
The 3 times they went to the lake in the last week or whenever this was all filmed, Layla and Zade were not with them. I guess they were with Evan's parents who had been in town.
I was just going to post about that. Any sympathy I had for them is long gone at this point.

I always try to give the contestants the benefit of the doubt because you never know how people will react once the cameras start rolling. It’s easy to shout out answers from the comfort of your own couch but being up there on the stage- I can totally see blanking on clues you actually know.
That said, these games with so many TS clues are not the most enjoyable to watch.I did get FJ. I know Dolly does a lot of charitable work. I was not aware that Bezos has subsidized some of it though.

I have security latches on all of my exterior doors so my grandchildren can not wander out to the pool. I did this as soon as soon as the oldest was mobile. They only visit a couple of times a year, but it was a no brainer.
Alyssa’s set up is a tragedy waiting to happen.-

There was a birthday party for Hazel today. Both Zack and Whitney and their kids and Carlin an Evan and their kids were there. I know there is a lot of speculation about Josie and Carlin having some sort of feud but while they may not be particularly close they seem to get along.
There is a photo of Willow, Layla and Khloe together in Carlin's stories. Layla is so tiny! She is 6 months younger than Willow and only 3 months younger than Khloe but the difference is pretty substantial.

Is it any wonder she is all over the place? Married at 19, pregnant immediately, 5 kids by 28.
The only time I ever saw her legitimately excited was when they bought their house and renovated it.
I know none of this comes as a surprise given her upbringing, but it is quite sad. Sadder still is the fact that she is repeating the cycle with her daughters.
I keep hoping one of them will break the cycle but it isn’t looking good.As sad as it is I am a very happy camper today. Vegas baby! 😉🏒🥅

Oh FFS. I broke ( and dislocated) my big toe a few years back. Guess what? I followed all instructions and yes, my toe now points up slightly.
Admittedly Carlin did not follow her doctor’s orders to the letter, but you know she’s going to milk this all she can.

You can rent a car if you are under 25 but you have to pay a young driver fee of $ 65 per day.
ETA: I guess @AstridM and I posted at the same time. 😉

Writing the car off as a business expense doesn't pay for the car. What is does is reduce the amount owed in taxes or increase the amount of the return. I forget what the formula is but they'll still be paying nearly the total cost of the vehicle.
Plus, I don't know how it could or would work for them because they're technically self-employed, so which taxes would they claim it on BSB or personal?
What if they leased it and the boutique covers the monthly payments?

That “merch” has to be paid for before they sell it. If they buy 500 t-shirts and sell a dozen they will be taking a loss.
The only person I see buying anything is that girl who drove 13 hours to attend the cash and carry on Saturday. ( She was on Carlin’s stories)🙄

I can’t understand how they can continue dropping $$$ on cars, vacations, etc. There’s no way the boutique, influencing and the occasional shifts working for a small town police department can give them that kind of income. It just doesn’t add up.
There is speculation over on Reddit that the car is being written off as a business expense. Also someone suggested that her dad’s business was sold and Whitney got money from that, or that he had multiple life insurance policies so she and her mom could benefit.
It just all seems very shady to me.My son has a very good job. He and his wife have 3 kids. She is a SAHM mostly because he travels quite a bit and if she did work her whole salary would go to pay for daycare. They were very lucky that mortgage rates were low when they bought their house in 2021. But they certainly don’t buy 100K vehicles, 10K ranges, etc, and they are done having kids.

Josie and Kelton: They Have Employable Skills
in Bringing Up Bates
To be fair I was fairly small busted before I had my kids but I stayed bigger after. Maybe the same thing happened to Josie. She does appear to wear a padded or molded cup bra, but that may be for modesty. I think she also wears strapless a lot and it gives her a weird looking bump under her clothes.
