Joy, I hope you don’t beat yourself up about screen time. You and Austin are exceptional parents! I don’t believe for a minute that your kids feel like you’re not giving them the attention that they need. Do what makes you and your family the happiest… But please don’t think you’ve done anything wrong! ❤
Joy, your kids find the fun and joy in finding the littlest things to play with. It's good to see kids using their imagination and not being on computers all day.
This brought back memories of when your dad made that huge slide in their yard! That looked like so much fun! Letting kids get wet, dirty and having fun is the best. Blessings!
Evie is just the most beautiful little girl. She has so much personality! She reminds me of my daughter when she was little….she’s 44 now, lol. I love watching your beautiful family Joy. Thank you for sharing. 🌹💕🙏
Im 71 yrs old. Retired. Single with a little rescue dog Buddy. I purchased a used 25 ft camper and moved into it fulltime. I totally agree with you on the TV & Social media time. I purposely took down the TV that came with the camper and gave it away. It has changed everything for me. I LOVE being outdoors more and ive been hand quilting and knocking out these quilts and i make prayer journals and these have gone to 25+ women friends. I wasted so much time watching TV etc. But im so done with that and im so present witb family and friends. God is so good like that that He gave me clarity about that wasteful time Thank you for sharing about that. Have a great time at friends wedding. Travelling mercies.
As long as it works for you and it sounds like it does, that is all that matters. It's so easy to get caught up watching tv or being on the internet. So much of our precious time gets wasted.
Everything in moderation. There's absolutely nothing wrong with screen time whether it's your phone, the tv, video games etc. but *everything in moderation.* Set an alarm if that'll help. These days a lot of social media apps have built in timers you can utilize to help set limits for yourself for daily or weekly use. Like Joy if you feel it's taking over your life then there's no harm in taking a short break for awhile. We live in a digital world so it can be difficult to eliminate screens altogether but sometimes it's good for the soul to unplug for awhile. Again, moderation is key.
You are spot on about screen time! Children pattern themselves by example, so they will do as you are doing and want screen time too. You as a couple are raising your children God’s way. 💜
You are fantastic caring parents who always have time for their children .you happiness shines through all of you each time i watch .❤❤❤ never feel guilty about anything you have nothing but love for your family that the most important along with the love of god.❤❤❤
I love it all. My Grandma had a pump like that on her sink and we played with a slip n slide and lots of bubbles too. So much fun with families that can play together. My Grandpa made a swing in his big tree for us too. Loved playing outside. That is such a beautiful area. You have a beautiful family.
I am always so in awe of what a gentle spirit you and Austin have. Your children are so blessed. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your world. Not that you have to, but I love how it debunks so much gossip and rumors. Y'all are just as sweet as can be. Love you! ❤ ~ Your sister in the Lord
I agree. Gentleness from the Lord. You two are genuine in every way. I watch families and some have gotten a bit worldly so it is good for all of us to remember that we are not of this world. As followers of Jesus to follow His example in traveling light and let our gentleness been know to others and speak the words of truth when possible.
I agree with you about screen time. Kids needs nature and real life experiences. There’s alot of garbage on movies and tv shows and apps on our phones. I do not have kids however i am 46 years of age and I been rethinking screen time. Especially What June stands for. Summer is nice weather time. Thanks for reminding me about how to rethink my screen time.
Happy 7th Anniversary! In 10 more days we will have our 57th anniversary. Time sure does fly by. I adore your family! God has blessed you so much with a wonderful hubby, and 3 beautiful children, and they are blessed with you!
My husband is also self employed and has a tree business. I am all too familiar with all the equipment and projects going on. God Bless you with juggling 3 kids and everything else. It's all for a good cause and a blessing. We have been married for 30 years now got married when we were 20 and since we are not able to have children, we so cherish all of our many nieces and nephews and spoil them so much!
Joy you are so pretty! Yours and Evie's hair with two french braids is so stinking cite!! You're right Austin's parents land is gorgeous!! Seeing the baby calf reminds me of being little at my grandparents wbo raised cattle. Oh how I miiit!!
Austin? no beard. Looks so young and always a handsome young man.... t.v. 's laptops etc. all in moderation sometimes can entertain kids as well as educate kids.
I have a huuuge amount of screen time… but a lot is music playing, or a long format vlog playing while I work.. and texting, and asking my 2 older kids if they finished things or if they can do something or checking up on them.. and chatting with my cousin in England and my husband back and forth..
When my kids were little, we did something with water, a library, and a park each week in the summer. Now that they're teens, they make a checklist of things they want to do. (Strawberry picking, hiking, thrifting, swimming, etc.) This has allowed us flexibility while keeping us busy and moving!
So cute I liked Abby’s dress she had on with the little bees and stuff. She’s so cute and get in playing in the water and the baby is getting so bad so cute.
You let my little friend Gunner develop one tear without picking him up right away! It must never happen again because his little cute chunk face needs smiles only!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤
dianenaylor Why do people call it click bate. It usually something going on by the title. It was not click bate it was a baby cow. Like I said something does happen by the title.
My kids best memories as kids are their grandparents land and camping. They still to this day try and get together with all their cousins to camp. The transition from being kids, having all that fun and growing up is hard on them all though I've realized 😂 they really miss it. Screen time.. this is your job. It's life. It's new to you to not be present 24/7 because you work. Maybe write down your ideas or what to watch/ listen to be more intentional. I listen to RUclips with an earbid so I don't feel guilty. Most things you can listen to and not watch.
I love watching you guys always fun I love your whole family Joy I know we don't really know each other but I would love to meet all you and your family I live in Port Saint Joe Florida ❤️ God bless you and all your families ❤️ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Joy 🌸❤️🌸🦋You are the cutest and Sweetest out of all your girl siblings. All your SweetSisters are beautiful, but you outshine them by far. Austin and you just make a perfect pair. You both were my faves. Your kids are so sweet. Wishing you and Austin your best life forward together. Love your Style and Family. PS I know sometimes and some days seem dismal with little kids, but believe me it’s the best time of your life. I miss my young life and my sweet babies❤🌸
Ummm... I think it's safe to say many people *DID* expect this video to be another "baby expected" announcement. It's called "click bait", darlings, and if anyone knows anything about monetizing their RUclips videos, it's the Duggar clan. Don't be fooled by their wholesome image; it's alllll about the money, honey, and if *YOU* can't see that, then it's *YOU* who are dense! 😉
I just want to say i appreciate that you stop and pay attnetion to your children. Either Gunner wanting mom or Evie asking lots of questions. Its so important for children to feel heard while they are young for later in the pre-teen and teen years.
Not clickbait watch entire video they have a new baby calf if you think it's click bait then that's your view assumption stop being bullies don't like don't watch or follow
Joy and Austin, I always enjoy your videos. 😀 It's too bad people have to ruin it with their rotten comments! 😕Thanks for sharing your lives with us. Have a great week.
Those kids are so blessed to have 2 sets of grandparents with so much land and so much for them to explore.
I think you have such a well rounded outlook. Letting kids play and explore is great. Way to go!
The kids are so care free, and happy. Joy your doing something right. You were a born mother.
Joy, I hope you don’t beat yourself up about screen time. You and Austin are exceptional parents! I don’t believe for a minute that your kids feel like you’re not giving them the attention that they need.

Evie's yellow outfit with the bees is super cute! 😀
I love how you let your children explore.
Little Miss Evie is going to be a heart breaker, and she is going to be in charge of her own business.
Austin’s parents property is beautiful. 😊
Evie is just the cutest!! Y'all are giving your kids the best life!!
Your family lifestyle suits me perfectly. I enjoy your channel.
I love that your kids are never on any electronics, they are simply just playing!
She told us they all are on electronics far too much...how did you miss that?

That water pump reminds me of visiting my great grandparents in Eastern KY when I was a child. I ❤ it. Looks like your kids love it, too!

Your baby boy looks so much like you❤
When I wash the curtains I usually just hang them back up on the curtain rod and let them dry, might be useful ❤
Try growing a small garden with them. That’s teaching them about growing, and earth.
❤ you are so present for your family joy . But I totally understand a break from social media and TV is such a good idea enjoying the great outdoors ❤

I enjoy your videos. You have some great goals set for the summer. Have lots of family fun.
Your face during Gunner's mini meltdown was too cute :)
🙋♀️❤️. What lovely childhood memories these cuties will have!
Love Evie's pretty dress.

Who is Abby??
I love those braids
going to miss your content I love that you have included us on your life journey
Joyanna your such a joy. Thanks for sharing.😊
Please don't be hard on yourself. We all go through times of too much screen and need to course correct. You are doing just that.
Right on about screen time. Ty for sharing that.
Its good to have hobbies. I put the timer on for chores or things i have to or need to do.
Our grandson has a pull up bar with a canvas strap attached to his door frame, he swings all the time
This is a good vlog, Love YALL ❤️
Love your vlog. Your kids are so adorable
You let my little friend Gunner develop one tear without picking him up right away! It must never happen again because his little cute chunk face needs smiles only!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Ignore the haters and trolls. But they consider themselves Christian. They are rude.
You and your husband are adorable. The kids are beautiful.
Loved seeing the new baby calf! Please ignore mean people, I don’t understand why they say anything when they can’t speak nice?
In 2014 I gave away my TV 📺
Twelve years later I don't miss it at all 😊
Lol😂 bad math!! Ten years later 😮
Joy, you don’t need clickbait!!!
Was it not about the cow?
@@BritishMomma Exactly agree .. a new baby calf, that wasn't clickbait
@@purpleandred7Of course it was. We’re meant to think that Joy is expecting. I like Joy but I very much dislike clickbait.

These kids are going to learn so much, and more educated. Because they don't spend time on tv, or screen time.
Did you know you can return the dead tree on porch if it died? Most places let you get another.

Love watching your videos. Enjoy your summer ❤
i love how everyone assumed by Unexpected baby .it doesn’t say unexpected pregnancy 🙄. “Our new baby” basically means it’s already here.
Yeah I don't think many people assumed that, if they did they must be pretty dense 😆

I expected it to be about their one year old. He is still fairly new. And the picture had the baby on it.
@@shutupshelley1793 lol then I guess it's safe to say that you contributed to Joy's payday yourself 😝
@@shutupshelley1793 and you contributed by watching 😂 don't like them don't watch. It's that simple.
That's so cool that yall can just go to their park and play.
Yeah totally agree but you still a little you time don't be hard on your self
I just want to say i appreciate that you stop and pay attnetion to your children. Either Gunner wanting mom or Evie asking lots of questions. Its so important for children to feel heard while they are young for later in the pre-teen and teen years.
Good idea going to try this with my two little boys
By the way love your family and where you get your necklace it’s cute ❤
Outside is best for kids!
Hi joy and Austin and kids i love your videos
You’re so right! I need to do the same as well regarding screen time.
Please don’t take these comments seriously, let them roll off your shoulders. You do you Joy. Love watching each week. Gby ❤
Love your view on screen time and how it’s so easy for us to get distracted by it.
What an amazing property for kids.wow.😊❤
Love your glasses.
No where did she say she was pregnant again. Enjoy your 3 healthy children. Austin’s parents place is amazing.
Hey Joy where’d you get your necklace
Congratulations to the couple getting married.
