Jon and Kate in People Magazine

Jon and Kate are featured in this weeks People Magazine.

October 13, 2008  with Paul Newman on the cover.

There are wonderful little stories in this article, but the

main one is that Jon and Kate are planning on adopting

a Korean Baby Girl..  :^D   I don't know how far along they

are on the adoption process, but I for one am excited for

them.  Of course I think they are a tad bit crazy.... lol .....

you would think that 8 kids is enough, but I do understand

that they would love to see what it is like to have just one

baby without he/she being a multiple.  I also think it would

be fun to watch the other kids being big brothers and big

sisters to a new baby.

One paragraph in the article that I thought was really good 

was this...

Kate says.... It does bother me about the online criticism.

Sometimes they get real personal and cruel. I'm not mean 

and horrible and ugly.  We work hard all day, every day.  I'm

sorry if it's grouchy and we're yelling and complaining, but

that's life....

You go Girl... I totally agree with you Kate ...  It bothers me too

when I see all this negative crap about Kate on the internet. I

have stopped going to sites where people are judging her so

harshly.  First of all, we aren't there in their house, or in their

neighborhood or in their town. We are only fans of the show

and enjoy watching them.  But I do believe that there have been

people who have been watching the show that have turned against

Kate in the last few years and I think they are way off base.  They 

are reading all the crap on the internet and buying into it.  Then

they sit at home in their comfy chair or couch and watch the

show and judge Jon and Kate on their parenting style and their

relationship.  All I can say is  " HOW DARE YOU "  :^(

Being a mother of two grown sons  and having two brothers who

weren't the best fathers and seeing many families going through

terrible divorces and alcoholism, over bearing fathers, mothers

who would rather work than be mothers ( this has nothing to do

with mom's that have to work )  and I have heard of many mothers

that even walk out on their husbands and kids.  Jon and Kate

love their children and each other and I think they are doing a

great job.

So that is where I have to say to any one who has the nerve to say

that Kate is not a good mother or than Jon is a Wus, that maybe

you should put a video camera on yourself for a few days and let

us watch you and your husband and your kids and let us see how

you do and then let us judge you... None of us is perfect. We are not

June Cleavers  (  tv show ~  Leave it to Beaver  )

I have a feeling that any of you reading this, really are not the ones

judging Jon and Kate, but actually love them and think they are

a great couple.  They need to know ( which they probably do )

that they have a lot more fans than haters.  The haters are most

likely sad and lonely people with very dysfunctional lives and

have nothing better to do than to trash other people.

Anyway, I just loved this article in People Magazine and learned 

more great things about the family.  If you have the magazine, I

would love to hear what you thought about this article...

Jon and Kate's Official or not so Official MySpace Page

I am getting lots of question again on What has happened to Jon and Kate's Official MySPace Page...

I don't know what is going on...  :^(   I have heard rumors thit it really wasn't even their page and that they don't have a MySpace account... That is the problem with MySpace...  Anyone can pretend to be Jon and Kate... I have written to them on their regular website page at

http://www.sixgosselins.com

and asked if they really Do have a MySpace page and I have not heard back from them. It is frusturating not knowing for sure... Unless they had a MySpace page that showed a picture of them with a sign saying YES this is Our Page or a Video of the family saying this is Our Page, I tend not to believe it... there are a lot of people out there who have been writing nast blogs about Jon and Kate and it wouldn't surprise me if some of these people would make a fake page on here saying they are them....  :^(

And now this is the second page that has been deleted this year.. It makes you have to question if they have Ever had a MySpace Page.  

They have a website with questions and answers and you would think that someone would ask that question... I have a friend on here who went to one of their appearances and they had a question / answer segment, but no one asked them if they had a MySpace page....

I have a  Fan Page on MySpace (  http://myspace.com/gosselinfamily10  )  because I love their show. I love watching the kids and love watching Jon and Kate handle all their kids and how they keep the spark in their relationship.  They make it work and keep us entertained every time we watch them.

So I don't spend much time thinking about if they really do have an Official MySpace Page, because deep down, I don't think they do.  I could be wrong,

it has happened before.... but I would have to have a lot more proof than what

we have seen...  :^D

Jon and Kate Plus 8 " All Aboard "

I watched the latest Jon and Kate episode where they went to see Thomas the Tank Train Engine.  I am always in awe to watch Jon and Kate take their 8 kids anywhere.  I am guessing most of these trips are paid for by the Producers of the show, just to get more footage of the family out the house... or maybe by the parks themselves.  Just watching the kids on the trains looking out the windows with big smiles on their face brighten up my day.  Of course there will be people who will criticise Jon and Kate for yelling at the kids throughout the show, but I remember back in the days when my boys were young that I did my share of yelling too.  ( also remember that the camera men are filming for hours to put a 30 to 60 minutes show together and for some reason they like to watch Kate yell. :^D )

Yelling just goes with the terriotry of being a parent and having kids. I love watching Jon and Kate and the kids sit on the big chair like it's their Diary Session of what had happened during the day.  With all the negative feed back lately, I have to say that I love seeing a family on TV that are not acting like they arre perfect and it isn't scripted.  What you see is what you get with the Gosselins and I have loved watching the kids grow up.  I for one am pulling for the family to keep this show going.  As long as they have their Supporters and they are getting the ratings... then they are doing a Great Job.

One more thing...  I would have loved to have had the opportunity to have a show like this on TV back in the 80's when I was raising my sons.  Kudo's to Kate for having all these field trips and numerous craft projects at home.  I loved hearing how they do the Caterpillar project every year for the kids to witness the caterpillars turn into butterflies and then set them free.  The Gosselin children are so lucky to have parents that are teaching them so many fun things to do.

The controversy of Jon and Kate Plus 8

Why is it that Jon and Kate are getting so much bad press after being on a Successful show for the last few years ?  Are people jealous, mean or just have nothing better to do than to find the flaws in them instead of the positives.  It surprises me how controversial this has become in the last few weeks.  I don't look at Jon and Kate as celebrities, but with all the trash talking it reminds me of what real celebrities go through all the time.  The paparazzi are out of control and actually hurt people with trying to get a picture just for a story.  Now with all of the Reality TV we have on and I have to admit I watch a lot of it ... I can see how it is changing the way people behave on TV and We as the viewers judge them.  :^(

Instead of sitting in front of your TV judging these people, why don't you take the time to learn from them. We might not always agree with their behavior, but we might just see a little of ourselves in them.  I myself would rather watch Jon and Kate Plus 8 than to watch Jerry Springer, Divorce Court, Flavor of Love, JackAss or Wife Swap. The list goes on and on.... I don't watch those shows, but I don't feel the need to come on the internet and trash the people who are participating in them.

I just hope that Jon and Kate will not take the time to read all of the negative stuff people write on here. They are fine the way they are and if they feel they have problems with their marriage or anything else, they will work on them.  They don't need people on the internet to point it out to them.  We don't see what they act like 24/7.  This is a TV Show that is taped for hours at a time and then cut and spliced the way the producers want it to be.  Don't spend the whole time watching it and picking it apart.  If you are doing this, then you obviously aren't a very happy person .  On the other hand if you are watching it like I am and smiling and laughing  and enjoying the banter back and forth and the kids playing and interacting with each other, then you are like millions of others who LOVE the show.

I hope we will get to see many more episodes of Jon and Kate Plus 8 and if it gets to be too much for them, maybe they will do a few specials through the years.  I wrote this blog for all of the supporters of the show... So if you aren't one of them, please be on your way and get a life.  :^D
