Jana's Bachelorette Trip

Happy Thanksgiving to our readers in the United States! We hope you have a wonderful day celebrating with family and friends.

For her bachelorette trip, Jana Duggar flew to California with a group of Duggar ladies just a couple weeks before her wedding. Michelle Duggar, Joy-Anna Forsyth, Jessa Seewald and baby George, Abbie Duggar, Johannah Duggar, Jennifer Duggar, Jordyn Duggar, and Josie Duggar all headed to the West Coast to visit Jinger Vuolo. Their journey began with a run-in with local law enforcement, but they didn't miss their flight. While in California, Michelle confronted a thief. Jana just uploaded footage from the trip to her YouTube account.

Catch Up With 6 Duggar Sisters

"Even if we don't necessarily agree on everything, a lot of us are non-confrontational, and we can still enjoy each other's company and have differences." 

-Joy Forsyth

With the Duggars' TV show off the air, it's been a while since fans have heard from Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's younger children. Join Joy Forsyth and Jana Duggar and their four youngest sisters (Johannah Duggar, Jennifer Duggar, Jordyn Duggar, and Josie Duggar) for a Q & A session at the Forsyths' house, during which the ladies cover a wide variety of topics. Johannah reveals that she hopes to improve her construction skills and her Spanish, Josie mentions learning to jump her pony, and Jana talks about serving her siblings by helping them with house projects. And if you look closely, there is a small, white animal camouflaged on one of the blankets.

Joy Forsyth is almost 37 weeks pregnant with her baby girl. Earlier this month, Joy's best friend, Carlin Stewart, visited with her husband for 4th of July. At that time, the ladies also threw a shower for Joy. The photo above shows Michelle with all her daughters, minus Jinger, who was unable to travel from Los Angeles. Joy is due August 19th.

Duggars March for Life 2020

Jordyn Duggar, Jim Bob Duggar, Jennifer Duggar, Johannah Duggar

Collectively as a family, the Duggars have participated in countless pro-life marches over the years. Yesterday, some took part in the annual Northwest Arkansas March for Life. Have you ever joined in on a march for life? This year's National March for Life takes place on January 24th in Washington DC. Below are links to posts about the Duggars' attendance at the 2013 and 2015 march in Little Rock.

Three 10-Year-Old Duggars

Mackynzie Duggar, Josie Duggar, Jordyn Duggar

Every year for a very brief period (eight days, to be exact) three of the Duggar girls are all the same age. Jordyn was born on December 18th, 2008, Mackynzie was born on October 8, 2009, and Josie arrived three months early on December 10, 2009. So between December 10 and 18, all three of these girls are the same age. And they also happen to be best friends.

Shopping with Jana and Jordyn

Happy [almost] Friday! Thought you might enjoy this new photo of Jordyn Duggar, who turns 11 years old in December. Jana took her on a shopping trip the other day, and she posed for a photo with cut-outs of Jonathan and Drew Scott, otherwise known as the Property Brothers. Have you seen their TV show?

Duggars at the Grand Canyon

Mackynzie Duggar and Michelle Duggar

 

Did you ever watch "On the Road with 16 Children"? That was the name of the Duggars' fourth reality TV special, which aired in June 2006. The family, with Johannah as the youngest, took a road trip from Arkansas to Los Angeles, with stops at the Grand Canyon, Disneyland, and other attractions.

Thirteen years have passed, and the Duggars decided it was time to visit the Grand Canyon again. Pilot John-David Duggar flew some of the family out to meet up with Jana, who is on a road trip. They spent yesterday enjoying the breathtaking sights.

Silver Dollar Duggars

For the past two days, the Duggars have been enjoying the family atmosphere of Branson's Silver Dollar City. There are fun things to do for adults and children of all ages, which makes it a great outing for this super-sized family.

The weather in Springdale, Arkansas, this week has been mild, so Michelle and Anna Duggar took some of the little Duggar kids to their park to expend their energy.

More Photos from Central America 2018

We have more photos to share from the Duggars' trip to Central America which they returned from just days before Christmas. December mission trips to the countries of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras have become a holiday tradition for the Duggars.

They have also visited during other months of the year, but this annual trip is unique because they are able to bring Christmas gifts to and share the Christmas story with residents of remote villages.

Birthday Dinner for Jordyn and Josie

In celebration of Josie Duggar's 9th birthday (December 10th) and Jordyn Duggar's 10th birthday (December 18th), Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar took the family members serving on a mission trip in Central America out to a local Pizza Hut. While it may not be the choice meal for adults, this restaurant is the perfect place for a children's birthday party.

With Christmas just around the corner, the Duggars want to help you with your Christmas shopping. The four youngest Duggar daughters, plus niece Mackynzie, are pleased to offer a sale on their new CD, Happy Heart. If you buy two or more, you'll get them for just $10 each (a savings of $2 per CD). Visit the family's website to purchase.

On another note, can you believe how grown up these five Duggar girls are looking? They are still the "babies" of the family, but they sure don't look the part. Johannah just turned 13, Jennifer recently celebrated her 11th birthday, Jordyn and Josie will soon be 10 and 9, and Mackynzie turned 9 in October.

Garden Like a Duggar

The warm weather is here to stay, which means it's time to start planting! Last year, we showed you photos of the beautiful garden and outdoor space that Jana created, with help from her siblings. Earlier this spring, we also shared a video of last year's garden.

This week, Jana Duggar and the Duggar siblings are hard at work getting the garden ready to go.

 James Duggar

Whether it's growing produce, doing landscaping at one of Jim Bob's rental properties, or tumbling down the hill on a giant slip 'n side, the Duggars love being outdoors. While writing this post, we came across a couple gardening photos from previous years.

Duggars at a Marathon

Four days ago, Derick Dillard completed the Hogeye Marathon in Northwest Arkansas. While living in Nepal, he ran both a full and a half marathon, but this was his first race in the United States. His time was 4:16:17. Do you enjoy running?

Duggars at the Magnolia Silos 2.0

One year (almost to the day) after their 2017 trip to Chip and Joanna Gaines' famous Magnolia Market, the Duggars traveled back to the Waco Silos. This time, some of the younger children, as well as Josh, Anna, Michelle, Josiah, Lauren, Grandma Duggar, and Aunt Deanna, went along.

For those who haven't heard of Chip and Joanna, they are the stars of HGTV's Fixer Upper, which aired its series finale last week. Have you seen the show? Have you been to Magnolia Market?
