Between the 26th of December and the first day of January, the Foursome posted:
Genevieve Padalecki: 6 Instagram pics
Jared Padalecki: reposted one Instagram pic
Danneel Harris-Ackles: 8 Instagram pics, 8 tweets (cross posts)
Jensen Ackles: one Instagram pic
Genevieve posted twice on Christmas Day and then referenced this video on the 27th, full of self-deprecation over her "failures" as a holiday "mom". A real "piece of work".
And then they were off! Danneel from the 29th (after a photo of the three Ackles children on the 27th):
Not quite sure what Jensen is looking at there, are you? Gives new-added meaning to the word "drop in", don't you think? ;-)
Oh, hold on! Here comes Genevieve with the GPS'er and an "Awww" photo of Jared and Tom skating on the ice:
And bam! Here comes another "D'awwwwww" shot to the fans' hearts with another twins pic on the 29th:
Then, Pow! with a throwback:
Nice slide-in from the side by Jensen on that one! ;-) See how they do that? [Tip: watch for these tip-in's frequently on group pictures like this, for the guy to be in a bottom or top corner, "popping in" from the side. It's a sure hint of photo manipulation]
Not to be outdone with the dueling kiddo shots, here came Genevieve with her "family" pic dated the 29th:
Lots of skates, skis, snow; it was a Padalecki Hallmark Winterfest holiday. And Jared did his usual thing of being seen:
While Jensen laid low and was seen in that New Year's Eve "throwback", pop-in from the side pic, guess who really may have been minding the remaining members of the Padackles family while Jared took his boys out for some snow action?
New Year's came and went. And like as happens with a lot of us post-holiday, it was then Jensen's turn to
Amongst all the Instagrams, tweets and interviews, this one was pretty revealing with its State of the Ackles address:
"The brewery is owned by the Ackles along with co-owner Gino, who is Danneel's brother, hence the name "Family Business". And just like [with] their three (3) children, the Ackles say they will raise it with all the care in the world."
and this quote from Jensen,
"During the week, obviously I'm still working quite a bit, so I'll be doing that. On the weekends, I'm home and I hope to be out here as much as I can."
But as so often happens even in well-scripted moments, the real truth can reveal itself unexpectedly.
In the following "for the record" video, Jensen explains the official story behind the brewery and why he decided to move from Los Angeles to Austin, TX in 2014 [we'll just ignore the original explanation to the fandom which happened to focus on Jared being his next door neighbor]. The video barely starts when the miscue occurs.
"I think this was always on my radar of places that I thought I'd always end up."
And, then the sputtering begins.
"I was living out in California for quite a long time, got married, had a few kids."
*stammer, stammer...*
Huh, how did Jensen not remember he only had one child in Los Angeles? An immediate correction and self-edit ensues:
"Well, had my first child."
Wow! Did I just see and hear what I thought I did?
Kind of an odd little "slip" of the tongue, wasn't it?
So he had "a few kids" before he moved to Austin, TX due to the "kick in the pants"? The only way to solve this obvious discrepancy is to take a closer look at the Kiddo Timeline for a moment:
Tom Padalecki - born March 2012
JJ Ackles - born May 2013
Shep Padalecki - born December 2013
Arrow and Zeppelin Ackles - born in the fall 2016
Odette Padalecki - born in the spring 2017
From "People Babies" section:
"Jared
Padalecki always knew he wanted to raise a family in Austin.
"My
dream as a child was literally to grow up and live in Austin, as silly as that
sounds,” the actor, 32, tells PEOPLE exclusively.
So
when he relocated with his wife and Supernatural
costar Genevieve
Cortese
Padalecki to a 10,600-sq.-ft. Texas lodge in 2012, the couple
knew they needed to make it a kid-friendly home for their sons Shepherd,
15 months, and Thomas Colton, 3." - source "Inside Jared Padalecki's Kid-Friendly Home"
The rumors about Jensen "moving" to Austin, TX began in 2014. And by September, it was confirmed that he had bought a new lake house there. However, the twins weren't going to be born for another two years. Therefore, for Jensen to say he "had a few kids" while still living in LA, is a bit...
...head scratching; that is, until you look more carefully at the Kiddo Timeline and see that there actually were a "few kids" born before Jensen's move to Austin, TX in 2014. They just were not supposed to be all his children, according to the public narrative. Again,
Tom (b. March 2012)
JJ (b. May 2013)
Shep (b. December 2013)
This, of course, would mean that just like with Jake and Austin, Jensen's slip up is just one more indication, in a long line of indications, that he and Jared are actually raising a family together - their family. The only plausible explanation for those "few kids" that Jensen referred to on that video (besides the lame excuse of 'he just misspoke') would be he was remembering that JJ, Tom and Shep, were all born prior to 2014, when he was, in fact, still "living out in California." Likely with Jared who had that 10,000 square foot "lodge" in Austin, TX to hide behind.
So, 2018 looks to be off to a rockin' bang of a start already! Who could have foreseen such a gem in one of those FBB interviews? Harry Styles, I think I hear the *swoosh* of an all-time best gif coming...

When I saw that Kiddo Timeline? I saw immediately what we saw with what we believe Jake and Austin did.
They took turns having children. And doesn't that make sense? Because both guys want offspring, so one starts, the next child will be the SO's, back and forth, back and forth.
It would be the only fair way to do it.
Wow, hit me like. a. brick. I don't know why it never hit me before. Timelines, even one as mini as that, are so helpful.
Boom indeed.
Bless his heart. I felt bad for Jensen as I watched him stutter over that first couple of minutes.
And it's during those kinds of moments when I think just stop it, you guys. Both Jared and Jensen, and Jake and Austin.
Just stop. But it has got to be hard, right? To keep all the stories straight. To watch those slips of the tongue.
And while Jensen and Danneel were busy during the first full open weekend of FBB? What was Jared doing?
I believe it was his turn to watch the kids. Wherever that was, whether Vancouver or Austin, TX.
Future weekends will be quite interesting to watch indeed as I watch this juggling act.
Jake made a similar kind of slip on the Kelly and whoever show back several years ago. Maybe that's why he did that ridiculous Guardian interview which harped "Stop asking me about my personal life!"
Anyway......I love the pictures of the guys with their kids. It's too bad they're almost always on their beards' Instagrams and stories.
