Joels frickin awesome! First when they went to the gym: "Im daddys son". Then last nights new episode: "Im your son" Followed by jon telling him he loves him. Then with a huge smile he says "Thats my daddy". I think joel might be jons favorite.
In my rant against Kate I neglected to say that I adore the kids - they're all so cute and sweet, but I do worry about them and what this sort of exposure is doing to them. The last couple of episodes I've watched have been less anger-inducing, with Jon taking the boys out to the golf course and Kate doing the pottery thing. There was one scene where the whole family is playing Duck, Duck, Goose, and Kate was actually participating, rather than slouching in a chair and barking orders and admonitions at everyone. I'm cynical enough to wonder if the negative comments on message boards and such have her rethinking her methods....according to that Julia (supposedly Jodi's sister) they have people monitoring tWop and such.
I remember in one episode mady had said something like "mommy sits in the chair and orders daddy around. Shes the queen bee." Then mady pauses and says "he never really listens to her though". It was hilarious. Even the kids see how kate is!
Kara Because they don't got all of
the atention that they need. 
But then agin they got 6 brothers and
sissters that love them and they are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE! Just
lOOK !!!!!! 
So as you can see Mady and Cara are very lucky to have all these brothers and
sissters. i would love it if i were them. But I have a brother of my own and I love him
