It’s been another busy week for Kate Gosselin. Fresh from her successful speaking engagement raising funds for Camp Barnabas in Missouri Kate returned to the sad news that Royal Caribbean’s “Cruise with Kate” was canceled. It was reported that both the cruise line and Kate agreed on a certain number of cabins booked and they were unable to meet those expectations. Kate emailed those who booked the cruise and expressed her disappointment.
She didn’t have time to stay disappointed for long. The busy mother of eight celebrated her sextuplets birthday on May 10th with a pool party, presents, and cake. Fans tweeted birthday wishes for the sextuplets to Kate, while she shared a bit of the festivities with her followers. Kate baked her traditional two-tiered, chocolate-frosted cake decorated with turtles and butterflies and topped with a candle in the shape of an 8. Mady and Cara presented their brothers with Lego board games, and their little sisters were given American Girl doll clothes that the twins chose from their own collection.
Kate interacted with fans sharing some of their favorite memories of the sextuplets as babies, telling one teen fan, “I wish I remembered those days more…All a blur!”
We would love to wish the sextuplets a belated very Happy Eighth Birthday and many more. What are your favorite memories of the Gosselin six?
Hard to believe they are already 8! I’m sure they had a fantastic birthday celebration. I can think of so many wonderful times we watched the entire family experience a new adventure.
I missed seeing their birthday party on TV, but it sounds like they had a great time.
Happy Belated Birthday to the six. I have been thinking about the passage of time recently due to a certain, cough, anniversary 🙂 and it’s hard to believe they are 8 years old! Time moves too quickly…

I thought the gifts the twins gave were so thoughtful and sweet. It’s nice to hear a little bit about the sextuplets birthday and see some pictures. They look so happy and healthy!
All the kids have grown up so fast, seems like a couple years back they were still hanging on to Kate or Jon. I wonder what dinner conversation would be like now, 8 minds thinking and talking at once. 🙂 Happy Birthday to the 6 and greetings to the big sisters that are so good to them. Kate and Jon should be very proud.
So Kate is on the Today Show on Monday and Jon and his girlfriend on Inside Edition today?
I have my DVR set for those two events. According to my TV schedule that is correct.
Happy Birthday to the 6 Pack…time flies! It’s GREAT having a pool to have a birthday parties! Kids always love that and I am sure with the 6 Pack it’s all more exciting to be swimming after a winterlong lock out!
I love the fact that Kate has traditions and continues those with all the kids! They will remember those all their lives.
I thought Jon wanted his privacy? but doing an interview with Inside Edition? and about his personal relationship with his latest “love of his life” hmmmm guess he needed the money more than his privacy! Hey I’m not knocking it as long as he gets caught up in child support!
VickyG, Jon only wanted to sell stories about wanting his privacy. 😉

Happy birthday to the sextuplets. It was really sweet of the twins to pass on their American Doll clothing. What great big sisters.
Lilly: When you owe money and do not have regular job, privacy goes out the window.
I find Jon’s reckless relationships and there are many…to be setting a bad example to his children but especially the boys! It seems he has found the “love of his life” so many times, what does that say to the kids? Relationships come and go for Jon like the groceries and garbage! when you can’t — — USE her anymore get rid of her for a newer model!
He is teaching them to give up, to never be truely commited and to not fight and work hard for what you want in life. I hope Kate instills integrity and commitment to them and shows morals and the meaning of being in love and the true meaning of “the love of my life”
VickyG I agree that it’s not good for kids to see a parent switching mates this much. Hopefully having Kate as a constant will be enough to counteract Jon’s bad example. I think it will. I hope this relationship works out for Jon and they live happily ever after. The woman has children and is more Jon’s age. I think that will help the relationship.

Liz stated that she has met Kate, and Kate was very kind to her. Jon admits, that like many others, he is struggling financially. Overall not a bad interview. No hard questions.
Sorry: Liz apparently said “fine”, not kind. I must clean out my ears.
There will be no show for Jon and this gf. She better just get to work, as Jon has many bills and kids to feed. Jon is being used this time around, she is looking for fame. He better be careful, she may be the dumper this time.
I just read the interview. Sounds like Jon is getting his name out there in hopes that someone offers him some opportunities. Nothing wrong with that. Jon getting new opportunities makes it easier on everyone.

I see Kate is on the Today show on Monday. I also see that she was tweeting with a PR firm.

Hope this is something good for Kate too!
Pam: I hope so too.
The PDA in this interview was not even close to keeping an ADULT image of either a father of 8 or a 27 y/o mother of 3. Jon spent a better part of 2 yrs. trying to reclaim the ordinary private local…WHO in their right mind thinks this new squeeze of 4 mos. brings an aura of class to one extremely clueless man. For Jon to LIE that he never ‘cheated on Kate’. He must be one heck of a svengali to peddle that take on his past behavior. Sad.
Happy birthday to the sextuplets! I relate to Kate’s “all a blur!” statement – it goes so fast!
