I never noticed how pleasant Thomas's speaking voice is. He could do audiobooks haha. Happy birthday dude! Also, the easy ribbon removal is what happens when Mom has ribbon PTSD from Christmas :P
Ahh the life of a working teen. Its so fun to watch a child grow into a decent, king adult! Great job so far Mom and Dad!!! Happy belated B-Day Thomas!!!!
i was very quick to judge when i first watched one of your videos. after watching a couple more, i am ashamed. you have a beautiful family full of love and happiness, may God continue to bless you and keep your hearts bright❤️
Happy birthday Thomas! You are growing up and becoming such a lovely young man. Love watching your videos, as they are informative, relaxing and entertaining. Thank you so much .Watching your videos are so inspiring. I also watch Tom’s videos too! Brilliant!
Happy belated bday Thomas!!!!! Oh I remember when my oldest got his DL (he's 18 now) and the first keys to his vehicle it was bitter sweet the first time he hopped in and drove off. When he's was 12-13 he decided he wanted a 1989 full size full bronco so he started making money helping his dad, mowing grandparents yards, and saving his allowance so right before his 15 bday we happened to find one that needed mechanical work and interior work but it was what he wanted he had about $1000 saved and we paid the rest...we brought it home and over the course of the next yr his dad and him worked on it I even helped with the interior parts and we got it into "new" condition and let me tell you what he still drives it now and loves it so much..it taught him many many lessons that he will carry through life but it also created so many memories we will always cherish and bc of all the hard work he doesn't take it for granted and take very good care of it :)
Happy 16th birthday thomas🎂!! You have grown up to be not only a fabulous big brother and role model but also a very nice, responsible yet fun loving young man! Obviously your parents did a great job raising you - but on the other side you also had to be willing and open to learn from their wisdom and their kindness! Growing up is an adventure and i wish you all the best, thomas👍!!!
Just watched Jamerrills large family home tour,glad to see Andrea,cookie crumb and Whitney sews all watched it also.Birds of a feather do flock together, interesting to see what other RUclipsrs watch!😀 I enjoy watching them too!
I found out recently that our city is a big hub for Magic. We have the biggest online store located here and some other stuff. Thought of that again when I saw this video
Thomas' Birthday is January 5th? My sister's birthday is January 5th! She is also the oldest sibling and is 16 too! What a cool coincidence. Happy Birthday Thomas!
Happy birthday Thomas I guess he's got his learners permit. My oldest is 16 and my youngest turned 15 in December . my oldest hasn't shown interest in getting her learners permit .
Congratulations Thomas! Your Birthday is a day after my Brothers, who‘s name is also Thomas! He is 55, though.So January is a good month for that name! All the best and a happy year ahead!👏🏼
Hi I love your videos and your big family!! I was wondering if any of your kids as they get older get that teen aditude or complain about not having there own room and stuff. Your family looks so well ran I feel like that couldn't happen💖💖💖
Hi Andrea :-) I've been wondering (and don't know if there's already a video about it. If so...please tell me 😊 ) if some of your kids have a special bond with a sibling? It seems to me that Eden & Justus share a special bond - just as Asher and Claudia?
Andrea, do I remember you saying in one of your past vlogs that Papa Gary works in the propane business? I don't know why that popped in my head lol. But I also work for a propane company (as a customer service rep) and its sooo crazy busy right now with the bitter cold and snowy weather that's hitting all over. Please tell Thomas I wish him a very happy birthday. It looks like he had a wonderful day with the fam.
Yes, my dad works for my uncle in his propane business. My uncle, Randy, was actually in this video; he walked into Subway while we were eating Thomas' birthday dinner. My great grandfather started the propane business about 80 years ago, I think. Then my grandpa bought it and ran it until he sold it to my uncle in the 80s. My mom worked there for years and it was also my first job. I cleaned the office with my cousin and then, later, helped with the front desk and bookkeeping. I hated when I had to fill propane cylinders. I was always sure I was going to blow something up!
Andrea Mills lol luckily me and the other two ladies who work in the office don't have to fill propane tanks. That's something that just the drivers and the manager do. For one thing, those tanks get quite heavy once they're full. Two, propane stinks when you get it on you lol. And three, I'd be terrified of causing an explosion as well 😊
I think you got more footage of Thomas birthday than you did of tom's l as they both went to work on both their birthdays, which I suppose they have been doing for a while as Thomas may not do school on his birthday but the shop is still open and he has been running it for a few years. they are very much alike as they have the same birthday dinner, carry on working and like magic and computers. I love the two bother both family and Thomas friends. I keep thinking of them as part of the family, yes I do realize that Thomas is at their house too, but as Thomas runs the shop, they are bound to be at your place a lot and the came for new year though I do not know if they stayed in the hotel too, they are great magic fans. I hope Thomas liked his new keyboard, it was as much fun as he thought it would be. I think Thomas is going to have to write a hint list as it must be getting harder to find out what he wants for presents, though computer things go down well you will have built them all their own custom made ones soon
We did the Meyer-Briggs personality test over Christmas and, just as I suspected, Tom and Thomas share the same personality. They're two peas in a pod!
Totally not video related but want to get your theory on this in Matthew 5:43-44 says love your enemies......does that mean when u see a enemy of yours you say hi or hello or smile?
Hope everyone is having a blessed day! I’m asking if anyone has a spare moment of their day to pray for my best friend who just found out she’s expecting. she’s 16, fully intending to raise her baby. we’re trying to make the best out of a tough situation, and while premarital sex obviously isn’t ideal, we can’t do anything now. babies are a blessing 💗 thanks for your time!
I pray your friend has an easy pregnancy and delivery. She will figure things out, especially if she isn't afraid to take full responsibility for mothering her child. Our culture tends to cultivate immaturity, but we're designed to become mothers when we go through puberty. There's no reason she shouldn't be able to do an excellent job. The tough part for her will be that she's caught between two worlds... that of being a child in some people's eyes, and being a woman in others'. She may not even be sure herself where she fits. But she will find her way. My sister, Ami, had her first child at 16 when she wasn't married. It's not easy, but she was and is a great mom. God brought her a wonderful husband who has taken her daughter fully as his own. That doesn't always happen, but I feel if we can learn from our mistakes and continue forward doing all we know to be right, we can trust God to work out all of the tangles. My mom also had me when she was in college and unmarried. She was very upset when my sister got pregnant, but I remember telling her that no one ever made me feel like I was unwanted and I hope no one ever made my sister's baby feel that way. Regardless of the rightness or wrongness of how this little one came to be, this baby is a blessing from the Lord and deserves to have all the love and care that any baby does.
Andrea is right. Years ago mothers had children at a young age. I pray she has support and encouragement during this time in her life. My grandmother raised 11 children on her own after the youngest was born. We as a society have changed the way we look at things and live. We can live without all the wants and do just fine.
Happy bday Thomas .how many driving hrs does he need to get his drivers license? Thomas is a sweet heart and so good to his siblings and a good example for them .i thought Thomas was taking off without tom today when he backed out ? Lol your subway looked so good i was salivating lol
when Thomas gets a new phone maybe he can use that to help record his driving hours, like you do with your shopping list, he is all ways going to have his phone with him use that as a note book
Hannah is due April 12. Thomas does a lot of things to help around the house, but not so much in a hands-on way with the younger kids. He's the guy who randomly cleans and organizes things for me, hauls stuff here or there, gets all the high-up things down for me, etc. Asher and Judah are my go-to guys for helping with the little kids and for more regular help with chores around the house. I've sometimes wondered what it would've been like to have an older daughter, but the boys are really helpful, too.
Andrea Mills all those gentlemen ......My youngest is my only boy .I pray I can raise him to be a gentleman!!!Your due close to my sister do you usually go early ,late or in between?
Love the updated intro with baby hannah and clips of all the family😍
When Thomas said "who are these people?" about his friends I spat my coffee out! 😂
I never noticed how pleasant Thomas's speaking voice is. He could do audiobooks haha. Happy birthday dude!
Also, the easy ribbon removal is what happens when Mom has ribbon PTSD from Christmas :P
Binge watching 💕
Ahh the life of a working teen. Its so fun to watch a child grow into a decent, king adult! Great job so far Mom and Dad!!! Happy belated B-Day Thomas!!!!
It's so sweet how your kids give each other gifts.
i was very quick to judge when i first watched one of your videos. after watching a couple more, i am ashamed. you have a beautiful family full of love and happiness, may God continue to bless you and keep your hearts bright❤️
Morgan, thank you for saying that. I genuinely appreciate that you took the time to get to know us.
Happy Birthday Thomas. May you always be happy and blessed. Being nice looking never hurts thank your mom and dad for that. Take Care.
Happy birthday Thomas. Hope you had a great day. Good job on the driving, stay safe.
"Happy 16th Birthday Day" Thomas! God bless you always.
The wrapping paper heard Thomas' taunt about the ribbon and decided to be stubborn.
You all are so sweet. I love that you gave him keys. It’s very like, you’re responsible enough now.
Happy birthday Thomas! You are growing up and becoming such a lovely young man. Love watching your videos, as they are informative, relaxing and entertaining. Thank you so much .Watching your videos are so inspiring. I also watch Tom’s videos too! Brilliant!

I made it with a 1 x 3 from Home Depot and a paint pen.
Andrea Mills you are so creative! I always wondered where you got that, now I know, thanks!

Asher is Claudia's personal assistant - he seems to be at her beck & call and they both seem to enjoy it
I found out recently that our city is a big hub for Magic. We have the biggest online store located here and some other stuff. Thought of that again when I saw this video
Thomas' Birthday is January 5th? My sister's birthday is January 5th! She is also the oldest sibling and is 16 too! What a cool coincidence. Happy Birthday Thomas!
Happy birthday Thomas I guess he's got his learners permit. My oldest is 16 and my youngest turned 15 in December . my oldest hasn't shown interest in getting her learners permit .
Happy Birthday Thomas! Enjoyed the new intro :)
Happy Birthday Thomas🎂🎉🎂🎉

Congratulations Thomas! Your Birthday is a day after my Brothers, who‘s name is also Thomas! He is 55, though.So January is a good month for that name! All the best and a happy year ahead!👏🏼
I have called ahead and placed orders at subway because we often got 8 foot longs.
Justus can you please bake me some cookies they look AMAZING!!!
Thomas is becoming such a humble (and very organized) young man! I love watching him grow up so quickly! What was his favorite gift that he received?
🎉🎉🎉🎉happy birthday Thomas

It seems to me that Eden & Justus share a special bond - just as Asher and Claudia?
Happy Birthday Thomas! You are so funny, and a great help to the family. That magic game looks complicated!
what grade is thomas at and will he go to university or college
he'd probably be in his sophomore year, going of of what public school grade ages usually are
Thomas is in 10th grade. I don't think he's made any decisions about what he wants to do when he's done with school.
Andrea, do I remember you saying in one of your past vlogs that Papa Gary works in the propane business? I don't know why that popped in my head lol. But I also work for a propane company (as a customer service rep) and its sooo crazy busy right now with the bitter cold and snowy weather that's hitting all over.

definitely even down to the same Christmas presents, the headphones.

Prayers to her that she has a healthy happy pregnancy and all goes well for her x what andrea said also in her reply is spot on :) x
We share a birthday!🎂🎁🎉
Happy bday Thomas .how many driving hrs does he need to get his drivers license? Thomas is a sweet heart and so good to his siblings and a good example for them .i thought Thomas was taking off without tom today when he backed out ? Lol your subway looked so good i was salivating lol
He needs 50 hours and, as of a few days ago, he's recorded 32 hours. I know he's driven more than that, but he's not always careful to write it down.
when Thomas gets a new phone maybe he can use that to help record his driving hours, like you do with your shopping list, he is all ways going to have his phone with him use that as a note book
Aw you put the ultrasound picture Hannah already in it ❤What day are you due? My oldest is a girl and she is a big helper ,Does Thomas help alot ?
Hannah is due April 12. Thomas does a lot of things to help around the house, but not so much in a hands-on way with the younger kids. He's the guy who randomly cleans and organizes things for me, hauls stuff here or there, gets all the high-up things down for me, etc. Asher and Judah are my go-to guys for helping with the little kids and for more regular help with chores around the house. I've sometimes wondered what it would've been like to have an older daughter, but the boys are really helpful, too.
Andrea Mills all those gentlemen ......My youngest is my only boy .I pray I can raise him to be a gentleman!!!Your due close to my sister do you usually go early ,late or in between?
Ahhh HANNAH
