Hey all. I actually live across the street from one of the Sister Wives. Janelle. I kept wondering why film crews were going to their house and filming people driving and walking and stuff, so I finally asked the producer what they were fiming and he said "Sister Wives." I became more interested after that.
The families get together at Janelle's house frequently, around dinner time. So they're not all having dinner alone in their houses, at least not every night. Robin has a lovely baby bump now. I've seen her standing on the street talking on her cell phone quite a bit, and she doesn't always seem to be happy while doing it. But I have no idea what she's saying or who she is talking to. One time when I saw filming going on and she was at her car I walked past her on my morning walk and said, "What show are they filming here" and she said, "I don't have time to talk to you." She was snippy but I could also tell she was stressed. Someone was yelling at her to hurry up and get something.
They spend a great deal of time setting up for a shot. I remember one time Kody and Janelle were sitting in his Lexus convertible for like 20 minutes while they set up a camera on a truck in front of them and just filmed them driving down the street.
Kody comes by every week at some point.
And recently I met one of the daughters, Aspyn, as she is babysitting for my daughter's closest friend. We had a conversation about her possibly sitting for my kids :) She is a sweetie.
They all go swimming at Janelle's house frequently, and I imagine that will continue as the heat of the summer kicks in.
They were all recently at my daughter's 5th grade graduation. Christine got there first with the baby and the young daughter and held seats. Then Kody came, then Robin, then Meri. Didn't see Janelle there. Robin stood throughout the entire event, but she was running around taking photos. During the refreshment period a lot of people were talking to them about their show and everyone seemed pretty supportive.
