  3. I like them all. Michelle is so beautiful! And she is in pants and a cheerleading sleeveless outfit. So neat. I wonder why though, she didn't want her own kids to dress like this or have a fun high school experience like she obviously did. There are private, christian schools that offer these extracurricular activities. And she looks so good and normal in those pants. You can still honor God in those types of clothes. You just look comfortable and good doing it😊
    Oh, and Jim Bob was a good looking guy too. They both still are. Happy Anniversary to a beautiful duo!!

    1. They explain all this in their book.

    2. Because she was raised differently than she has chosen to raise her own. I like that she has chosen to raise her girls in a stricter environment in which God is the focus. I'm sure Michelle has regrets from her last and she decided she wanted her girls to live with as little regret as possible.

  6. My favorite pic of Michelle and Jim Bob is the bottom left corner sharing a shake. They both look sweet and Michelle is so pretty in that picture!

  7. I've always loved seeing the strong love, respect, and consideration they share with each other. They really get the meaning of marriage.

  8. Hmm, public school, dates, kissing, hanging out with friends, sleeveless tops and cheerleading skirts. Typical for the "do as I say, not as I do" Duggars!

    1. Do you not want more and better for your children than maybe some poor choices you made? I didn't grow up in a Christian home and I made a lot of poor mistakes in my teens and early 20s. I found Christ as An adult and raise my children with very different standards than I was raised. Why be critical when they are tying to give their children the best start in life as possible. They are not perfect, nor do they profess to be. Thy live a lifestyle that is different from many which is one of the reasons I love them. If you dislike their values, do you not have anything better to do with your time than read their blog? I feel sorry for you.

    2. That's just silly. They haven't done those things in a long time, and they obviously had reasons for changing their minds about them. That's like saying a person who grew up on junk food is a hypocrite if they don't let their kids eat junk food.

  9. Congratulations Jim-Bob and Michelle! What a beautiful example of what a Christian marriage is all about. May the Lord bless you with another 33 years.

  10. Lily and Ellie,I forgot to answer your question. My favorite is the picture of them with JB holding the Big Hunk bar.That's my favorite because Michelle still thinks of her husband after all these years of marriage as her "big hunk" wrinkles and all.

    1. I think it's racy and I'm offended by Michelle openly referring to their physical relationship like that. She's the one who supposedly wrote the family's book on modesty!

      Delete
    2. She wasn't referring to their physical relationship. She was referring to his looks. She still think her husband is still handsome after all these years which is the way it's supposed to be. I still think my sweet husband is a "hunk" even though he's he's bald, has a grey beard a has a little bit of a belly. I think he's the handsomest man I know. Okay wives,defend your husbands and us know YOURS is the handsomest!😊

    3. In this day and age, the word "hunk" is hardly racy.

      Delete
    4. Their physical relationship? Racy? In my day, a good looking guy was referred to as a "hunk." What's wrong with calling him that?

    5. Regina, you just described my husband!

  11. You all are personally in touch with the Duggars. What is going on with Jill?
    Is she still in the hospital?
    If so what is going on with her health?

    1. His mom had Israel until a few days ago, when he was returned home. So no, D's mom was not taking care of the baby.

    2. Anon 10:00 where are you getting your information about when Israel was "returned home"?

    1. She's been on nearly every episode so far.....

    2. Seeing a glimpse of her in the background and hearing her say a few words is hardly the same as the way it used to be. I miss her too.

  17. Happy 33rd Wedding Anniversary to Jim-Bob and Michelle. Hope you do something awesome on your Anniversary. My two favorite pictures would be the one where Michelle is wearing pants and the one where she is wearing a sleeveless top. Just a little humor. Bless You....Jane

  18. I love the picture in the middle. Jim Bob and Michelle are beautiful, inside and out. I wish TLC would have them on-camera more often. They are such an inspiration, showing faith and grace in the good times and the difficult times, staying true to who they are. We could all use a healthy dose of their wisdom for our own lives.
