You are so honest and relatable. Love the way you are giving yourself grace and not putting pressure on yourself to be "perfect". Being a wife and mother is hard work! Love you guys!
Yeah, it’s really hard work especially for normal people in normal society did actually go to college get a high school education get a high school diploma or not in the idlp cults and that work as mothers and father in the real world for there money you know like a real world grown ups sometimes grow up into not children anymore. Do you become adults and when you become an adult, you never know your ward in society in society. We are not a part of cults. We are in America in America. We are not in cults yeah
So glad y’all were able to help with church camp. Thanks for being so open with your family.
🙏🏻♥️From a 48 year old wife and mom, and homemaker married 28 years, I just want to tell you Joy that I am very proud of you! You are such an amazing wife and mom! Great job!!! You are awesome!♥️♥️♥️
New baby life is agreeing with you. Camping with little ones and newborns is a challenge and you rock it! Austin is so hands on and enjoys being a daddy he’s glowing.
Joy, your mom named you just right! I love your videos and know that God is blessing you! You are such a joy!
Amen to that!!! 🥰♥️💕
I loved how Evie sang and talked throughout the background. So sweet!
13:04 from the outside looking in, you’re doing great! I can’t believe you’re already going with the flow and working the camp and even staying in the RV! Super hero momma!
Joy- thank you for being REAL. That’s what we love about you. ❤
Marriage is always a work in progress, no matter if you have littles or grown “babies”! Sending love and best wishes on your new addition!
Did i miss thing in the video why what happened between her n her parents
I enjoy your honesty. It’s been many moons since I’ve had a baby (39). However this past week I had the honors of babysitting my two grandsons, they are 2 and almost 3. Brought back so many memories of raising our sons! Also made me very thankful we had our children young.. trying to keep up with a toddler at 62 is a lot more exhausting 🥰. Enjoy your babies,
After having a baby my time with God was a lot more private conversations with him through the day and praying holding rocking littles. ❤
This right here. As a mom you have to take time with god where you can get it. On the way to and from pick up or drop offs. Watching them play or while cooking. ❤
I love how y’all let the kids be kids. In my opinion when you are taking care of your 3 gifts for GOD you putting in your time learning..
Why wouldn’t they let them be kids? Please stop saying that she want allowed to be a kid. She did.
@@nancyfarkas3592 some people on RUclips think they always have to have the kids spotless and new clothes on in every video. I like the videos where kids can just play and don’t have to worry about getting dirty because their parents don’t won’t the world to see them like that. You were ready to just on me and you didn’t even have a clue what I meant… back down because all I meant is their videos are real!!!!!
I always wanted four kiddos, and the Lord gave me two boys and two girls. I knew I wasn't done after the 3rd. Now I know we're done! :) You'll know when you're done for sure. The Lord will guide you.
I felt that way once I hit 5. It was my goal number too ❤
If she telling you she has to potty, she is telling you that she is ready to potty train. it would not take much since she is telling you and it will make things easier for you.
I saw the little potty in the hallway so I think they’re starting potty training. Hopefully it won’t take her very long!
That’s not necessarily the case. You don’t know their personal situation.
Telling her after the fact is progress. But they need to be able to tell you BEFORE they do it.
@@nancyfarkas3592The little girl told her mom she peed in the potty without anyone telling her to. Obviously they ve talked to her about it and had a potty at the ready. Then Evie used it with no prompts and showed her mom. Gideon was very proud of her and excited and she told her dad when he got in. Joy backed up her story and he praised her. So, Evie didn’t say she had to go after the fact. She told her she did go after the fact. I have an inhome childcare for 38 years now and have potty trained so so many kids over the years and her going in to do it on her own is a big deal!!
I think Joy knows that. But what Evie did there was she actually peed in the potty then told her mom she went with no one telling her too.
Joy, you are doing great. Your A’s to the Q’s were quite healthy! It’s very refreshing to see you embrace your life and let go of the perfection so many mother’s think they need to strive for. You are going with the flow. Congratulations to you and to Austin on the newest addition to the family.
Such a great example of parenting… you remind me so much of your beautiful mom.
You have beautiful children! The boys are going to be handsome men, and Eves is so pretty! With the sweet Godly environment at home they will grow up to be very good and caring people. You and Austin are doing a great job of parenting.
Thanks Joy for sharing. Happy Father's Day Austin!
I can completely relate to the expectation scenario. If I can't do as much as I want to, I don't do any. Thank you for sharing that. I'm not alone.
So glad you don't pressure yourself about weight loss! Some women do naturally go back quick! I'm like you, it takes me over a year. Too many mama's stress over this when your body just did an amazing thing!
Thank you for sharing and being so open joy. Happy fathers day Austin!
Have a great day and happy Father’s Day Austin. Gunner is adorable
My kiddo was the same when it came to sleep. Right around 1 1/2-2 he started consistently sleeping a “normal” sleep schedule. My husband and I kind of beat ourselves up because we thought we had failed, it is refreshing to hear that someone who has 100x the baby experience we had also had a similar experience.
It's so awesome seeing you raise your little family. Thank you for your honesty and openness. Wishing you all the best 🎉
I love your Q&As, Joy - you’re honest, and you don’t sugarcoat things. I really love how it is very clear that your kids come first (as they should), but I also agree that while it might be more difficult to find the alone time, you’ll both put in the work to make sure you get that chill time together (it’s still early days in Gunnar’s life - so don’t worry that you don’t immediately have everything sorted - you’ll get there in the coming weeks, you’ll find that rhythm that works).
Also, I couldn’t breastfeed my son, because he had milk protein intolerance, so was on a special formula, and it actually really made me smile to see your answer to the question. Because it makes so much sense - take it a bit at a time, if it works, it works, and if it doesn’t, it doesn’t. I certainly would not judge you, if you found that breastfeeding Gunnar wasn’t working for you, or for him, and switched over.
As the paediatrician said after we found out I wouldn’t be breastfeeding, the point is to make sure kiddo ends up well-nourished and fed, even if it doesn’t come from your own nipple.
You absolutely rock, Joy - and I like the way your videos are - we get a peek in at your life as parents/a family, but it’s absolutely not open-doors or anything. As it should be - and I’m so sorry your earlier life was so open and on camera. Please know that you’re absolutely doing it right with your own kids, and I respect the heck out of you.
💜Sasha
It's so sweet that your letting your kids be kids!!..A little dirt don't hurt nothing!!..Your a great mom!
I love how honest you are!! I’m now a grand parent but I would of loved to of had someone like you to share about your life! Great job.
Bless you, love your honesty and being so candid. Love your channel!
The new baby looks so much like his siblings - especially his sister!!!! So sweet. It was really nice to hear from you and have you be open and vulnerable. It’s a hard time with a newborn and other little ones. Appreciate this vlog. You look wonderful - don’t worry about weight you are lovely and try to enjoy this time … and you don’t need to know if/how many kids mere weeks after giving birth! Take good care of yourself. ☮️
Little Gunner is so adorable! My grandson's hair was the same color as Gunner's when he was a small baby but it has since turned red, more of a strawberry blonde. I love it!
I appreciate how laid back you are. But I also really appreciate how you are honest about your spiritual life. I went through a wilderness season when I was reading my Bible and praying a lot but now I’m in a different season. I try to read a devotional each day and pray but actually reading my Bible everyday just doesn’t happen…… I often feel guilty about it but I also have responsibilities and tasks to do and it hard to make time but I believe God knows our hearts. He wants us to be in our word but it’s about our getting strength, wisdom, hunger and desire from God’s word rather than being mediatory and we’re sinning if we don’t.
You are looking great, Joy. Gunner is certainly looking well fed and so darn cute! 😘
I know quiet time can be challenging with three little ones. I had 3 in 3 years and 4 months and it was hard. I found that I could take an extra two minutes in the bathroom to read either a very short devotional, a short prayer (from a book with a couple of verses), or three- four verses in the Bible. The Lord really taught me about using the remnants of my time well. I pray the Lord helps you find these remnants (I know they are just that) of time as well to help you grow spiritually in this season.
HAPPY FATHERS DAY WEEKEND TO AUSTIN!!!!!!!
The baby is precious and y’all are such a a sweet fam!! The camp looks so fun for the kids😃
Joy you are killing it👏💐.
Soo happy things are off to a great start. I lala love your mindfulness with yourself. What a lovely example.
Continue on.
☮️🙏🤗 to all 5 of you. Xo
You are a good mommy❤ Austin stays working, never stops... We love your family here in Alabama❤ Even my kids ask when you put a new video out!
Thanks for sharing bits of your life with us. I truly enjoy seeing you. And your family is adorbs. 🥰👋
Thanks for sharing your family with us, God bless!
Thanks for being so honest, you're a good mama. Kids are a blessing but they do create work for parents.
Thanks for being so open and honest
Love your honesty ❤thanks for sharing ❤
I love how you’re just genuine. I wish more moms could hear your Q&A! You’re so relatable!
You look sooo good, motherhood really suits you and Austin is such a good dad.
I just wanna say I enjoyed your honesty and I'm glad you & the family are doing well. ☺
Love to see your little family!
Happy Father's Austin enjoy your day ☺️❤ with the kids and Joy
It’s so true: you’ll know when you’re done having children. I have five - an older set who are 23, 22, and 20, and a younger set who are 14 and almost 12. I had just turned 39 when my last baby was born, so I knew I was done! LOL It’s definitely not the same being pregnant and keeping up with little ones when you’re a bit older. You’re doing a great job being a Mom! Take it slow, enjoy these special moments and when the time is right for another, you’ll know. 🙂
Joy, where did you get your phone case? I love the loop on the back to help hold the phone! Thanks!
Your doing Great Joy! And please tell Austin Happy Fathers Day
Joy and Austin your little boy is beautiful. You guys are so blessed.
Amen this is why I love y’all’s channel
Thank you for sharing, love seeing your sweet family. God bless!
Thank you for your Honesty and happy Father day Austin
Happy Father’s day’s Austen🎉
You are so great to share that you're not where you would like to be with your personal Bible time. I appreciate your honesty, as I struggle in this area with young children, too. I think during these times, God meets us where we are - in the floor changing diapers, in our kitchens stirring dinner, in the car rushing to church. I've learned to pray where I am and to use little pieces of time to get a little Scripture reading in.
Joy you are so awesome and a honest breath of fresh air!!! You are so sweet and down to earth. Thank you for being you 😊 God bless y'all ❤❤❤
She’s all of THAT and more!! I never can get enough of her!! And she has SUCH a soft and soothing voice!! I bet the kids appreciate her soothing voice!! I’m just SO GLAD she lets us tiptoe into their life a little bit!! JOY IS A JOY!!
I think it's wonderful that you don't try to sugarcoat pregnancy and delivery. It's hard that's why they call it labor. But you are doing a great job. Remind yourself of that every so often.
Having a great support system makes such a difference
Im happy that you doing well and happy Father's day to Austin
Happy Father's day Austin dad of three now.
Plus , what you plan for date night will have to change . You two will still enjoy it !! Put the kids to bed , hubby runs and grabs food and have a candlelight supper at home !!! Nothing wrong with snacks by candlelight!!! 😁 You two will figure it out ! Promise!! God bless !
Love watching your little family
I love your honesty and how real you are. You don’t sugarcoat anything and I’m here for that ❤
Joy, you have such a sweet spirit. ❤❤ I love the updates on your family. Thank you for sharing with us. As always, sending prayers love and hugs yall's way. Happy Father's Day Austin.
thank you for being so candid! keep the Lord in mind throughout the day and keep working on your marriage. It's important.
It is so hard to get in God's word in the chaos of motherhood! I found during times when life is a lot, new baby, sick kids, sick parents, I found I just listen to my Bible. In fact, I listen to my Bible every night when I am getting ready for bed! Now, when things are not so crazy I have my Bible study time where I spend quality time in the word! This has changed my life. I still get the word "not my preferred way but it is still good, and it sets me up for a restful sleep.
I absolutely enjoy your videos. ❤ ya'all! God bless ya'all!
I love your Q & A 'S. Baby Gunner is adorable.
Thank you for sharing what real life is like. ❤
Don’t be so hard on yourself. Show yourself som grace. No one I perfect. It’s hard raising 3 children. I think your doing a great job!
I love how open and honest you are Joy. Life has its up and downs but it’s in the moments with family that make it well worth it! You are the definition of your name, Joy! With life being so busy lately, my dad listens to the Bible on audio to help him still be able to have his Bible moments daily. I feel like that would be a great idea for you. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. Your family is truly the most precious. Just know that you’re killing it Joy!
A little less buy bull would do her a world of good. Church camp? 🙄
@@celestelawler587 , What ??
@@darlabingham6023
What, "What??"
@Celeste Lawler A little less Bible really...don't be rude or just don't watch if you don't like what their life is like. It really is that easy.
@@melissar357
Nothing RUDE about having an opinion. Just because it's obviously not the same as yours gives YOU no right to be RUDE to me. But that's how you buy bull thumpers are. Obnoxious bullies. Don't watch "what?" All the bull💩 "religion" is what lead to many of their problems. Her incestous pedophile brother digitally raped her when she was 5 years old. She was sitting on his lap, supposedly reading her a bible story at the time.
Thank you for sharing, Joy! Love that you share your family with us!
I feel the same about Bible time. I feel like I put more pressure on myself about that and feel guilty. You are transparent. Thanks for sharing. You will know when your done with kiddos. Once I Hit my goal family I actually felt fulfilled and done. So do you boo. You will know.
Make sure to plan “dates” with each other!! It’s very important to keep the spark alive in your relationship with your spouse!! Also enjoy every moment with your kids - the good & the bad!! The time flies by & before you know it your babies will be moving out! Hold them a little tighter, kiss them more & tell them you love them multiple times throughout the day!! Y’all are doing great! So happy for y’all!!
Joy, you are so sweet and you’re doing great! ❤
🙋♀️❤ looks like you are all doing so well!
I love your answers. Be gentle with yourself.
I commend you for admitting to not giving much time to the Lord. I have a 2.5 year old and I too have found it incredibly difficult on getting back into that groove. If you don't mind, I have one single tip. I downloaded my favorite bible version on my Kindle and I read it to my kiddo as she goes to sleep. I have her lay there quietly and listen. They are sponges so I know she's getting some good info and I get some bible time in. You're doing great!!!
Congratulations on your new arrival. .❤❤
Joy I think you look Amazing after having that sweet bundle of Goodness from the Lord above.... Too be helping out at Camp I would say you are doing great and I know the Lord is watching over you.. You and Austin have a beautiful family!
It’s cool you have a camper. Kids look good! I love you all. DYI for mosquitoes Irish springs soap shredded up. Spread around where you are sitting. They hate it ! Works. I’m praying for you & Austin and those gorgeous children. I love You Joy Anna!!
Gunner looks so healthy he’s a beautiful baby ❤
I love your family, your attitude, and your channel, Joy! Thanks for sharing!
Love your videos. Hi from lutz Florida USA
Thank you for what you do and you are a very good Mom.
I love you guys! Thank you for keeping us all updated on your life. It just isn't the same not being able to watch you on tv. I hope you are all staying safe and healthy. Much love to you all, and God bless.
You guys are doing a wonderful job.
Love your channel.💕
Such a precious family! I think Gunner looks so much like Evelyn.
FACTS... U will definitely KNOW when ur done having kids. ❤
ENJOY EVERY MINUTE!!!
Your family is awesome because you are real. ❤
Happy fathers day Austin
@13:00 I can see tears welling up in Joy’s eyes…and I felt my heart strings tug…
Joy is trying so hard to let us think all is happy there. You can see that Austin is very hard to get along with. Gunner DOES have red hair! We all saw it, but yet he made a fool out of Joy. Weighing the baby in that rat trap was disgusting. He is a country boy that has no manners. Joy’s children are beautiful and she is a wonderful mother.
Again, I don't know why people watch if they truly don't like it. No need to be rude about anything just don't watch. It really is that simple!!!
Your children are so adorable.
I have to say that I love your attitude of radical acceptance during this phase of life. I'm trying but struggling to have the same mindset, and it's comforting to hear you talk so matter-of-factly about kids not sleeping well, struggling to prioritize marriage, not bouncing back from pregnancy immediately, etc. It's good to be reminded that life is just like that sometimes, and everything will be okay.
It takes a whole year for your body to heal from giving birth. Remember to take care of yourself.
Love your raw and honesty in your life stuff. Thanks for sharing.
You should have told that to my mother who was pregnant 17 times in 20 years (13 live births).
@@beethistlewinery6682 wow!
Where do you get that it takes a year?
From her doctor!@@nancyfarkas3592
Such an Angel! Sharing and helping others with coping …i understand my niece more now that Joy has enlightened me and educated us from her heart on her thoughts regarding this subject!🙏🎚️❤️
You are very sweet! Praying for your family. Congratulations on the new baby
I sure appreciate how you are so kind to share so much with all of us! I really enjoy what you put out for us! Your kids are so adorable too!!
Thanks for sharing your family with us, Joy Anna. Love seeing your kids growing up.
Happy Father's Day!
Love your family and enjoy your videos.
Have you heard about Phylicia Masonheimer? She offers great insight on doing that very thing you were describing - not putting a ton of pressure on yourself to read X amount of chapters of the Bible or rigidly stick to a reading plan. I think it’s more about just showing up ❤ (I’m saying this because I also struggle with the same all-or-nothing mentality) She also shared what she does as a busy mom which is putting an alarm on her phone 3 times a day, and spending 10 minutes with God each time, whether it’s prayer or Bible study or just time with Him. Hope that helps ❤
