Jenelle looks happy! The boys are adorable!

The boys are so cute and Janelle does look happy.

Tony needs to wash his hair.

Agree! though I still wonder why it took her four-five months to meet them.  Seems strange for someone who is supposedly their grandmother too.

The new table looks good and so does that PIE!!! Hello!

Note the full wine rack, although no one seems to be imbibing.

That's a lot of brown with a little yellow.  It's very reminiscent of Jill Rodrigues.

Yeah- her kids are grown, I doubt they mind the lack of an “Easter basket” but I think they enjoyed the candy!(I have enjoyed some this weekend I freely admit). The food doesn’t look appetizing but they look happy to be together. Garrison is a hoot. Savanah looks so much like Janelle these days! (And Maddie)

I would imagine that Janelle is busy and she still is there for Savannah.  That being said, the few people I have known who gave birth to twins, the doctors have told them to limit visitors has twins often need to not get sick, more so if they are premature.

[oliviabenson]

Their meal looks nice. I’m sure they were happy being together.

[Misslindsey]

I just love that Janelle has a full wine rack. Get your drink on Janelle!

I mean Robyn slept in their closet for a week when they were born and the twins went to Gwen's engagement party. So I don't think limiting visitors is the answer. I agree that Janelle likely did not have a bunch of free time. It still seems odd to me that it wouldn't be a priority especially as grandma and Christine's supposed "bestie." They were born in November. It's April.

[LilyD]

Are we sure it was the first time she met the twins? I didn’t get that idea from her post, just that she was happy to see them and have some baby cuddles. But maybe I missed something here.

As for the RV: I hope she still has it and hope she paid for it in full and not through a loan. If she were to sell it, she may  have enough for a down payment to a modest apartment. Fortunately, Janelle isn’t as demanding as Robyn and Meri when it comes to housing. She’d be perfectly fine with a small place of her own, which could be all she can afford at the moment.

If mid to late Feb Mykelti said that Janelle had not met them yet. Janelle was planning to meet them at Gwen's engagement party but then Maddie needed her for her birth. The twins were born mid-November. So it had been three months at least when Mykelti mentioned it.

Since that time, there has been no pictures or media posts to indicate that Janelle was interacting with that part of the family in Utah. I guess it's possible that it wasn't on social media but given how Mykelti and Janelle post, I can only assume that she didn't meet them in March either.

Not much in the way of table setting, especially for a holiday! 🤷‍♀️

In all fairness, Janelle has never been a Martha Stewart type when it comes to entertaining!

[lookeyloo]

They look happy to be together. There is probably a lot less stress. Im Not good at table decorating so this looks normal to me

True, and she posted a video that said most of the food was purchased pre-cooked at the grocery store. She made the rolls and a pie and bought everything else.

But you know, I'm impressed that she posts like this and cuts herself slack. Martha made me feel bad about myself for decades!

Janelle has admitted that her creative skills with decor aren't great.  Remember Meri, Thanksgiving in LV, and the spray-painted corn cans?  😜

Meri was half way through the job when Janelle arrived.  She thought they were just having a meeting to discuss the decor.😅

I felt bad for Janelle —  Meri has always been really pushy/bossy that way. I’m kinda like Janelle in that regard, if someone’s already rolling with the project before anything’s been discussed, I shyly back off and feel a bit frustrated I wasn’t even given a chance. 

I *can* be creative, but tend to speak up less if there’s a Sherman Tank of a personality working on the project. I work best alone on those kinds of things.

Leon should look to their brothers, cousins, sister and stepmom for fashion advice. Anyone of those outfits would look so much better than the shorts Leon insists on wearing.

I think Leon knows and wants to be noticed. They also tend to want to find something to be angry about. But yeah, you make a valid observation.

I had to look twice at that “cake”. It looked like a bloodbath to me! 😂

What a handsome group of men!

No matter what Gabe does to his hair, I'm still hella jealous 😫. 

Happy Birthday, Robert.  😊

Until I noticed the candles, I thought it was a lasagna gone very wrong.

[MaddyMaeboxerbabe]

Oh gosh me too. I missed the candles until they were pointed out!   

[Teafortwo]

Janelle's latest instagram post (about Plex-ucch, natch) is accompanied by a song called "Check it Out." The band's name? "Oh the Larceny."

I wish I were making this up, but I'm not.

[ginger90]

[LilyD]

Wow, imagine that….you can actually cook chicken in an airfryer! And muffins, cupcakes, bread rolls, croissants, fries, jacked potatoes etc. etc. 

Janelle, Just check the darn box in which it came. It’s full of pictures that give options away, alternatively, study the manual. If you have a fairly new one, the digital display for the menu is a dead give away. It even has a chicken picture to select!

 

[laurakaye]

Look!  You guys, this thing is called an AIR FRYER!  It fries with - air, I guess?  I'm pretty sure air is healthy!  Haha!  Of course I am not going to give you my recipe (I coated mine in butter, stuck another stick up the chicken's behind for extra moistness and dredged it in a plethora of stale nutmeg mixed with Plexus but that's just me).  You look up your own recipes!  I don't have time to hold your hands!  Dare I say it - it's a ROCKSTAR.  A game-changer, if you will!  How long have these contraptions been around, I wonder?  Off to eat this thing, dipped in ranch!  YUM!

What really got to me in that scene was how Kody was asking Janelle to choose him over her and dogs, and for what? The chance that he might (maybe) visit her every once in awhile, and then complain about the size of her place and how he didn't have room for a reading light, or whatever?

I still want proof he reads !   And having lots of books means nothing.  I am a book dragon myself ( those of us who hoard books )

So the smart one has been paying for a seasonal space for a year or is it two years?  I really don’t get there wasting money.   Glad she sounds happy.

The place where I’m living now….

Has she moved again?? If so, here’s yet another place to call home for the time being. All the Browns have moved a lot, but no one has moved that many times as Janelle. Is it bad luck, with your husband’s sudden whims or troublesome landlords? Stupid decision-making when choosing for a particular rental?
Or is she simply unable to settle anywhere permanently?
People who have moved many times, sometimes struggle to put down roots and remain somewhat detached from every new place they go to. As if they’re having a house but not a true home? 
I cannot believe she’s fine with such an uncertain and nomadic existence. She needs a little place to call her own, a home base she can always return to after visiting her kids and grand kids. 
 

 

[xwordfanatik]

Is she rilly listening to the Beatle's "Here Comes the Sun?"

Moving sucks, and I don't know how Janelle's done it umpteen times!

It does suck. We’ve moved 11 times for work (both fed). For a while it was fun but now, I just wanna be closer to family and have some stability and consistency. It’s becoming tiring and stressful.

Can someone please explain what she means by “seasonal space”?

Does it mean her RV is somewhere she can leave it year round without winterizing?

I think she means limited to 3 seasons. She may be able to store it on the site if she disconnects and drains the water supply.

Thanks Sandy, I wonder if the space is in Arizona?

so she’s renting a condo and now she’s also paying for an RV spot?

[GeeGolly]

Between Janelle, Kody and Robyn, no wonder their finances are a mess.

[65mickey]

Janelle is as dumb as Kody when it comes to finances. How much money has she forked over to store that RV? She nor Savannah have lived in it for what almost 2 years? Savannah was miserable living in it. Unless she has plans to rent it out she is a moron for keeping it.  She should sell the damn thing for what she can get and move on. It's like she is determined to try and make people believe it was a good investment. An RV is never a good investment for permanent living arrangements.
