Puppies, Properties and Patients

When Josh is busy at the car lot and Anna goes with him sometimes, they take either Mackynzie or Michael or sometimes both of the kids to Jim Bob and Michelle's house to spend time with their aunts and uncles. Michelle has her hands full with her granddaughter and her youngest children and get this babysitting dogs. The little kids feeds the dogs some eggs and cheese to the dog causing them to get sick so Michelle ends up cleaning up the mess. During the time that she is taking care of the dogs and the other children, she hears Josie crying. Since Josie has a hypersenstive gag reflex that cause her to throw up if she cries to hard, Michelle calms her down and talks to Mackynzie. Mackynzie really loves her aunt and since they are the same age for a couple of months.
Now it's time for the older ones and Jim Bob, They are cleaning a new house that Jim Bob just brought and turns out that someone has been breaking into the house. Jim Bob's goal is to be able to clean it up and either make it a rental house or hand it over to one of their kids. John David is cleaning a contract work with the bank and if he can clean it up the bank will give him another piece of a land.
Michelle is taking Johannah, Jackson, Josie and Jennifer to the dentist and she brings Jill and Joy along to help with their siblings. Jennifer does really well at the dentist and so does Josie. Jackson and Johannah need to work on their brushing thou.

Everyone wants update on Josh and Anna and their growing family. With Mackynzie and Michael playing with each other. Josh and Anna explain that they really wanted to do cloth diapers with Michael as they did with Mackynzie but their life is too busy and so they had to do disposable ones. Mackynzie and Michael welcomed solids at different months of their life. Anna expesses that she loves being a stay-at home mom and she is content with being a mom and wife. Anna said that she is not pregnant and Mackynzie wants more babies . Anna takes the kids to shop for new clothes and it's the store that they can trade clothes and shoes that they have outgrown. Anna got a pile of clothes and saved alot. Jim Bob and Michelle explained snack time and how many times do they eat in a day which is about nine meals.
The Duggars decided to take Grandma Duggar out since she does so much for them. Jill and Joseph take Grandma Duggar out for a widow's banquet at a nearby church.
In the last part of the epsiode, Josie is heading to the doctor and she's found that when she goes to the doctor it normally means that she's going to get a shot. Since her doctor said that it's best for her to RSV shots for the first two years and they are heading to get her last one. Michelle brings James along because he can get anyone to smile when they are upset and it doesn't work. Michelle finds out that Josie is now at 23 pounds and she is happy. Josie is getting more upset and holds on to Michelle during the time that she has to get her shot.

19 kids and counting: last night's epsiode!
