The Counting On alum had taken snapshots with her husband Derick Dillard, 32.

In the first snap, the ex reality star held a red mug in her hand as she smiled along with her hubby.

In the next shot, the couple continued smiling as their sons Israel, six, and Samuel, four, appeared in the background. 

Israel appeared to be showing his younger brother how to ride a bike.

Jill confessed: "We’ve been soaking up family time amidst the daily grind of work and school."

She added that they have been "enjoying some sunny, warmer weather the last couple of days before another cold front moves in later this week!"

JOSH'S TRIAL

In December, Josh, 33, was found guilty of child pornography charges and taken into custody.

The son of Jim Bob, 56, and Michelle, 55, had been arrested and charged back in April with receiving and possession of child pornography.

The ex-TLC star could face up to 20 years behind bars on each guilty count.

Josh's lawyers requested a new trial, an acquittal, or a dismissal of one of the charges.

'TALKS TO SETTLE'

Recently, Jill joined siblings Jessa, 29, Jinger, 27, and Joy-Anna, 29, in the "talks to settle" a lawsuit with police over allegations involving their brother Josh.

The order stated: “The purpose of the settlement conference is to precipitate settlement of this case if that is appropriate.  

"It will be conducted in such a manner as to not prejudice any party in the event settlement is not reached that all matters communicated to the undersigned (judge)... will not be disclosed to the trial judge.

"The undersigned of course will not serve as a trial judge in this case.” 

THE POLICE REPORT

Back in 2015, a 33-page Arkansas police report was released to the public.

The report claimed Jim Bob had confessed to local authorities that his eldest son fondled the breasts and genitals of young girls while they were asleep in the Duggar family home years prior. 

Jill and Jessa came forward as two of the alleged victims in an interview with Megyn Kelly, where they insisted they had forgiven Josh, who was never charged, for his wrongdoings

In May 2017, Jill and Jessa sued the City of Springdale, the police department employees, and other Defendants for invasion of privacy and more.

The duo claimed that releasing the records caused "extreme mental anguish and emotional distress.”  

Jinger and Joy-Anna also sued but have not publicly come forward as victims of the alleged molestation.
