These people are stupid.

Seems like just yesterday. Oh it was barely a year ago. Grandma Keller probably has Nemo and JillR will show up afterwards to take pictures and post on SM. She will be no help to Nurie unless her eyebrows need attention.

Nurie's eyebrows looked pretty spermed out the last time I saw a decent picture of her face. 

[ginger90]

She has since corrected tropper  to trooper.  🤣 I wonder if the person who pointed it out got blocked. 🧐

Newman as a name for a Rodrigues/Keller offspring - someone posted on Reddit that their dog is named "Newman" and that they say Seinfeld-like, "Hello Newman" about 400X a day. Alas, poor Newman Christian will never be the recipient of that hilarity, since his parents are clueless about the name they just gave N2. #stillbeatsSpurgeon

[Heathen]

How long until N3 is born? I give it a year and a half, two years at the very most. 

There are more okay N names than I thought (okay as in not totally hideous): 

Nicholas (or Nicolas), Noah, Nathaniel, Nolan, Nash, Nico, Nasir, Noel 

Nancy, Nina, Nora, Nicole, the inevitable Nevaeh, Natalie/a, Naomi, Nadine, Noelle, Natasha, Nessie

Maybe she'll have a Norman eventually, and then she'll have two classic sitcom call babies ("Norm!!!" from Cheers).

Rod gossip updates...

Last night at church, Prissy asked for prayers for Nurthan who were at the birthing center. Baby Nimrod is certainly here by now. 

The same person who broke the news about Pat's fall a week before Jill did says that Kaylee and Jonathan went to San Diego for their honeymoon. I guess we will see if she's right if Jill ends up posting pics.

All these fundies who profess their hate and disdain for California regularly sure seem to enjoy traveling there.

SD turned out to be South Dakota. Being a Californian, I went with the obvious. 😀

The correct spelling for the expression describing someone overcoming obstacles is a trouper, not trooper or Jill’s tropper. It drives me batty when people use the incorrect homonym. Describing someone as a “real trouper” stems from the term for a performance company, a troupe. The trouper is the performer able to go on regardless of circumstances, as in the show must go on. Hence, a real trouper. This grammar PSA is courtesy of the self-appointed head of the grammar police.

Kaylee and Nurie will be pregnant at the same time. I’m sure mahmo will make baby birthing a competition. And of course Kaylee better birth a girl KayJill or JillDavida or something

I almost hope (and Kaylee) has a bunch of boys, so Jill's head will explode.

So did BME inspire the little girls to play wedding? This seems familiar, like they did this after Nurthan wedding. Maybe it’s a Rodlet tradition? But I definitely see JillR’s heavy hand directing this. And everyone at the Barndo does exactly what JillR says.

Maybe for a later child, but right now, they are going way out there for their current children.  I hope that they call this little guy by his second name, as I think Christian or Chris Keller sounds nice.  But I doubt it.

[satrunrose]

My very favourite Rod posts are the "See, we're a totally normal, happy and not at all culty family." They're always the weirdest and most culty of the bunch (mass wedding of child brides, anyone)!

One would have to be a "tropper" at a birthing center as one can't have an epidural there, no drugs administered.  I recall Jinger changing her mind about birthing centers after learning that fact.

Some birthing centers do use nitrous oxide (laughing gas) now.

That photo is creepy.   Brooms as stand in grooms is just weird.   What is on the littlest one's head?   She can't even see out of it, so I doubt she moved from that spot where Jill stuck her for the phone.   i really hope its not a plastic bag.   But I don't trust Jill not to stick a white trash bag on her kid's head when she ran out of white fabric for veils.

Is that the only place there is for those kids to play? I remember one of them playing with a ladder in there. Their home is so weird. Jill made sure to make her room and the lr (with the tv hidden behind the map for hypocrisy's sake) and the guest room fairly comfortable. The kids' rooms are too crowded for play and the kids don't seem to have any toys anyway, so the firetrap room with the printing stuff is their playroom, I guess.

Poor Nurie didn't even get a matching wheelchair. One was a regular wheelchair, and the other was a flimsy portable one. Guess who got the bigger, more comfortable chair. 

And we all know that Nurie INSISTED.

OK, the way this was phrased I thought they'd be sweeping the floor with their husbands.  It's a bit backwards, Jill--it should be "brooms as their husbands".

[ozziemom]

So is BME not rushing to Nurie’s so she can love on the new baby? Or does she need to wait for KayJon to return from their honeymoon? Of course with JillR’s wonky timeline for posting, she could already be there.

I'm not sure where Jill is right now, but she knows that Kayjon will bring her gifts from their trip, so she might want to be home for their return.

My bet is Nurie pops out an Nx every 12-24 months for the next 15 years. 
I'm adding these names to my Nurthan baby name list:

Boys: Nahum, Nazareth, Nedabiah, Nekoda, Nethaniah, Nimrod, and Noadiah

Girls: Naava/Nava, Naomi, Natania, Neorah, Neriah/Nuria, Nevaeh, and Ninevah

[Teriacky]

The Rod’s will need names they can spell.

Well, they put giant bows on the girls and put newborn boys in sweater vests and dump trucks. So yeah, it's never too early for those people.

That leaker on Reddit has been right on the money with all things Rodrigues. 

(It was my fault that I saw SD as San Diego and not South Dakota). I know would have picked the former. 😁

[Liddy52]

Didn't the whole family do the trying on cowboy hats last year in Texas on their vacation at Nathan's sister's house? Kaylee does look pretty in that picture in the hat.

[Ljohnson1987]

A honeymoon in South Dakota sounds awful this time of year. Also.. The girls playing wedding, and using brooms for grooms is so sad. Don't they have dolls or something else to use? 

[Salacious Kitty]

I've never seen those kids with toys save for those creepy reborn dolls. 

[GeeGolly]

Nothing against South Dakota as it has some great tourist attractions...

Do y'all think Kaylee and Jon are the first ever bride and groom to pick SD for a honeymoon?

Neither come from cowboy culture, so it seems a little weird. Obviously the pics indicate that they enjoy the cosplay. I wonder if they went horseback riding? A rodeo? They probably didn't go to Mt. Rushmore, have they even heard of it?

The Rods visited Mt. Rushmore with all the kids not too long ago. But honestly, how one says hey South Dakota for our honeymoon is beyond my comprehension.

Where are they on the kissing picture? 

[Salacious Kitty]

Hmmm, the only time I can think of the Rods being in that area was when they dropped Timcel off at Moody. That's what, 3 or 4 years ago? I don't recall them at Rushmore, but it's certainly possible.

All the good toys are in mamas closet on the top shelf. They are NOT for the kids. I agree I don’t see her kids holding toys just nasty rags they suck on.

Usually the kids I see carry a stuffed animal or a toy in their hands. Not the Rodrigues kids.

All they gave for a due date was mid to late November. So, Noob coming when he did wasn't a surprise.

I love South Dakota,  the Badlands and Black Hills.  I loved Deadwood but I doubt they went there. I think they stopped at Wall Drug by the look of those pictures.

Yes, they visited SD when they took Timothy to Moody.  The went to Wall Drugs and Mt Rushmore.

August 2018

"My FAVORITE site to see on this trip!!!…

To see Mount Rushmore, was TRULY a dream come true for me! I love and respect my forefathers and this monument to them, is truly breathtaking! The Black Hills are quite possibly the MOST beautiful hills/mountains I have EVER seen! The quaint town at the foot of the hills, is a LOVELY spot! God’s creation is beautiful and I am SO grateful to Him for allowing us to travel to see it….on a shoestring budget- nonetheless. LOL. ? However, our God is faithful and is providing as we slowly trek West to drop Timothy off to college for Missionary Aviation!"

Not sure if that is the same trip the went to Minnesota and Mall of America on the way back. I mostly remember they went to the Mall of America because Jill mentioned it was Samuel's week and he picked Gabriel to go on a ride with him while the others watched.☹️

I am currently talking to a friend of mine about taking a trip to SD, MT, and WY (my first time in any of those 3 states) next year, and I already told her Deadwood is non-negotiable. We must stop. :)

I know a fair number of people around here who have traveled to SD and had a lot of fun on vacations there in the summer but offhand I don't know anyone who went there for a honeymoon. Especially in November. I am actually judging the time of year more than the destination. 

[ozziemom]

Jill posted some pictures of the Keller babies, she misses them so much! Sounds like Nurthan family is expected at the Barndo for Christmas.
