The Duggars and beyond

A 2009 visit to the Staddons turned into an exercise in snake-handling, apparently.

Is that Warden or Isaiah?  I still have a hell of a time telling those two apart.

Cowboy hats spotted: I CAN’T COUNT THAT HIGH!

I hope everyone enjoyed these episodes.  It’s pretty much an all-Duggar affair from here.

I also like that Kelly is proud of her kids instead of bitter that they’re going off and doing things unrelated to her. 

It’s sad that stuff that should just be normal decent family behavior makes me so happy with these folks.  This is what the Duggars have done to me.
