Being direct is a great thing; however, people need to realize that you can be direct & saying it in a way that is respectful & with kindness, so it’s less hurtful. Especially if a person is sensitive. Having empathy is very important also when speaking to those that have been through a lot of trauma growing up. So, yes, being direct is great but as long as you’re being respectful & saying it in a kindhearted way. Blessed Be!
@@mileenacosens4889 or, maybe people should just not be so sensitive to everything. Life isn’t all hearts and flowers and kindness. Sometimes you have to be blunt and direct for some people to actually understand what you’re saying.
@iamjennyg I have a soft spot for him too. There was a time he was very attached to Hannah. With the arrival of more kids, the dynamics changed. Brody is indeed smart and sweet.
I think Tristan answered the question about his addiction well.. as a recovering addict I know everyone has a different perspective and journey and becoming sober takes time and effort and he has done that and he is on a path to success
I feel like any child that has gotten your family as their foster and then adopted hss been so lucky. But if the child has special needs, such as Aurora or Evie, they are extra lucky. You take so much extra time and effort to get them the extra care they need. You take care of all your children so well, but if there is something special needed, you make sure it's done. Not everyone can or does do that. Or even knows how to do that. Thank you for being the kind of parents you are!!
I'm but confused how do they have enough time for all the kids? I'm guessing many kids come from trauma. Don't the parents work? Though the foster care system has probably not been able to find smaller as good families for the kids which is sad.
Tristan's artuculate and well worded answers show that he has become an expert by experience in many fields. His unorthodox way of gathering and combining knowledge and know-how, are refreshing and remarkable. I appreciate his generosity for sharing openly. Wishing him to realise a trip to or even a stay in Japan, a special country and culture!
I agree with you 100% Crystal about the sleepovers! I never let my son do sleepovers at a friends house family was OK … A man I was dating in the past had a son in fifth grade who went to sleep over and the kid pulled out his parents gun thankfully he called us to pick him up but that could’ve turned very bad!
i was never allowed to sleep over either. My dad said you ave a bed here ti sleep in. I did allow my daughter to sleep over however but knew families very well
Brody is so cute love the way he does interviews... Aurora is so sweet I could see how Tristan has become one of her favor brother... my heart melted to hear Aurora to get the poster/picture for Jamie is so nice everyone thinks of each other...
I'm an autism coach. Evie seems to be pretty socially appropriate as far as I can see from the videos which I know is only a snapshot of everyday. I'm not sure how her academics are but she seems pretty well adjusted. My grandson's also has level two autism and he just does better in a smaller classroom setting. So you just have to adjust to what works best for Evie to be successful. I also worked with a child that is now an adult who's been doing equine therapy for years and it's very good.
Teenage Dirtbag what a banger. Lol he looked so annoyed with him self forgetting Alex and Hallie he was so confident too! I know i shouldnt have favourites but i cant help but have favourites....."nice!"
He did pretty good naming off all of the family members getting every one is hard the crazy middles even did it with each kid on there q and a to see if they could do it they did do a pretty good job and I think the parents should also do that to because crystal forgot about Ariana when she said Alex and Melinda
wow i havent been looking at you guys now for some month and Aurora is speaking soooo good since i watched last time. i was chocked. She is so adorable.
I don't blame you for not allowing sleepovers outside of your home...there's so much trauma and harm that cannot be undone so it's best to be cautious ❤🎉
My journey with mine son whom is 29 now was diagnosed with severe profound autism and PDD at 5yo. We have pretty much had the same rules but modified them. He is now living for God and singing in church.
have a great week, Crazy Piece fam! I hope you're staying safe and healthy. I love you all. Crystal and family from New Mexico and the extreme railfan Redwood Empire Corp team its sweet to see hannah savanna and Arora with great smiles and having fun and water balloon fight
My oldest granddaughter is 33 & she was diagnosed at 5 with ADHD. Also she was working on a 7 year level. She always got through her schoolwork at school quicker than the other students. The teacher always had to find something else for to work on. She did take medication. She was an easy child. At 4 she was putting thousand piece puzzles together. I love the colors of the frames, especially Auroras. ❤❤❤❤
I was diagnosed as ADHD in first grade (back in 1990 girls being diagnosed with ADHD was uncommon) but I always read at a much higher grade level and always loved puzzles, math and science. Even now at 40 I love doing puzzles it helps relax my mind lol
I was waiting for this one I get so excited for when you guys post Tristan is such an amazing role model for all of the kids he is the best big brother in the world aurora is speaking so good so proud of her she has come so far it's so amazing
My dogs do the same thing so I take all the batting out when I buy them and they just play with the outside covering. Keeps me from having to clean up a mess.
Tristan, Japan is beautiful. I was stationed there while serving in the Navy. And you’re correct, the food is amazing! That being said…you are like the Jungkook (BTS) of the Crazy Pieces family. Probably not familiar but he is good at everything he does, just like you.
I was thinking this week, why are you don't go and look if you can make Aaron's dog a gluten service dog. Those dogs can smell gluten and if you ask the dog if there are gluten in the grocery or in the food (restaurant) they can 'tell' him. Also because there are more family members with gluten problems, that would be a big win win situation. Love from the Netherlands 💜
Aah, I cannot believe that my question got picked! 😅😲 so glad to see Tristan back together where he belongs and to know that he’s on the right path and doing good for so long now! Keep going, we already love you as a family pal Trists!! 😊🩵
Crystal, I am the exact same way with sleep overs, you just never know what could happen, it's not a paranoid thing, it's a safety measure thing, I don't know the neighbors, I don't know who is in and out of the house they are staying at, so we have opt out of sleepovers
That rain would've been perfect for the backpack testing you did on crazy worth it - you'd be able to see how they would hold up for walking home in the worst of weather
Crystal and Aaron I strongly feel you made the right decision for Evie at this point in time. I feel like Evie has always been with you, part of your family and that's a testament to your skills as foster / adoption and biological parents. I hope that makes sense. As a teacher and a foster Mum I know how hard that can be. Bless you and all your family.🩵💗💜😊
It really is like Tristan has always been there. Brody cracked me up. 😂 I love the Bow frames, they are so cute. I am really looking forward to Evie's room make over and also to see how she flourishes in her new program.
I had an amazing weekend. I just celebrated my 30 year high school reunion. Got to see all my friends that I hung out with. It was emotionally amazing and almost overwhelming
Love seeing Brody! He is funny!!!! So glad to see that he is not excluded and cared for like other children! Every video should show Body and Tristan fun facts!!
For people commenting about sleepovers. I have worked in foster care and cps. Usually perpetrators are closest to you. I’ve had kids who grandparents have abused them sexually or physically while sleeping over. Other kids have perpetrated on other kids. You don’t know the trauma any of their kids may have been through so just making it a flat out rule is Safe
We had a great conde visiting from 0.S. He also used me and 2 of my brothers. This was in the very early 70's. We were aged 9- 13. Thankfully, we all told our mother immediately. We kept ourselves and each other safe after that until they left. Today, my mum says she should have kicked him out right there and then. But back then, she didn't have much confidence, and he was a relative on my father's side. I can't remember if we told my father.
Whenever I’m depressed I hop on RUclips and I watch you guys I hope to one day adopt kids who need love like you guys i recently fell out with my father our relationship isn’t the best and it’s made my depression worse making me feel detached and lost and alone I’m an adult but I feel like we never grow from our parents and my mom passed when I was 20 so ugh lol it’s been so hard but you guys just put a smile on my face and remind me that sometimes family isn’t blood
Oh man! Tristan definitely needs to visit Japan! The culinary scene is awe inspiring and so very delicious from fancy to convenient store. Plus the culture/history and the capsule experience a must see on the bucket list of life!
We restuff dog toys with crinkling materials such as potato chip bags or the likes. The dogs like the sound! It sounds like food 😂 anytime you open chips, do your dogs come looking for hand outs?? Yes, of course they do!😂
Everything aside, Aurora at 16:56 is just so sweet. Y'know that's just what Tristan needed. Hugs to Tristan, I'm sorry that you had to go through all the bad things, but I'm glad that your journey led you back to your family.
Pausing to say you have good taste in music Tristan! Teenage Dirtbag is a staple on my adult children's and my Playlist for at least 25 years now! My playlist consisted of G n R, Metallica, Eminem, and Tupac and mainly metal bands, but my kids broadened my musical style over the years! Much love to you all from Wilsonville Oregon
I know you should never have favorites. However Evie is so adorable it hurts. All of these children must know when they were adopted, they won the lottery. I still remember that Christmas when Luke and Savannah got cell phones, they both cried. That was winning the lottery.
You it's wrong for me to say this but i love how Aurora went around hugging everyone before she left for her dentist appointment and just imagine if something was to happen and she didn't come home that would be the last member of you guys would all have of her I absolutely love that about her don't ever stop being you Aurora
Crystal..you & Tristan forgot my gal Ariana. This was a great vid for the kids to get to know their brother better. Now, i think it will be great too for Tristan to interview the kids so he can ask things he never knew about the during his absence years. It will give him the chance to fill in the gaps for him too especially for the kids that joined the fam when he wasnt there.
Tristan you definitely need to visit Japan! I've been there twice and it's a country everyone needs to visit once in their lifetime if you are able to travel. By the way, Tristan is hot!! 🔥 I'm sure he has a fan club here , myself included. 😅
Yesterday, being 29 July was my birthday it started off rough as the Pastor of the church had stolen my birthday cake and given it to my ex-boyfriend for him to consume. It had been purchased for me because I’ve been financially struggling. It was purchased by a fellow member of the church and a friend of mine. I have decided that I will no longer be attending a church with such a dishonest leader; instead, I will be building my own prayer, and Bible study group. After I made that decision, God filled my day with abundance it just suddenly out of nowhere turned around in ways that are just blowing my mind. I literally begin my day without even basic food. Let alone a birthday cake the day ended with having friendly company and just feeling so special and nurtured. And I must admit that I am not feeling so well in the stomach because I’ve eaten a little bit too much. But that just goes to show that things can truly change. Nothing is impossible with God (and those with unconditional love in their hearts)
2nd comment but I have to say I completely agree with Crystal on the no sleepovers rule. My kids each had one friend that I knew the families well enough to let them sleep over with but our house was always open for the kids to stay with us. My daughter had 2 friends murdered by another friends father. His house was a popular hang out spot for a lot of kids because he bought and served them alcohol and let them do whatever they wanted. When one of the girls accused him of SA she disappeared not long after. We aren't sure how he lured the second girl in because she was suspicious of him already. Sleepovers just aren't worth it. He ruined and altered so many lives, none if the kids in their class will ever be the same. That was 22 years ago. Stay safe Crazy Pieces family and friends. I'm sorry to comment such a horrible thing but it happened. And it happens all the time. Much more than you'd think. More recently a man in the next town over from ours was convicted of drugging 3 girls at his daughter's sleepover. He put Ativan - which causes drowsiness- in their smoothies. Thankfully one girl was not knocked out and was suspicious because he kept checking to see if they were breathing. She pretended to be asleep but texted a family friend for help. She saved herself and her friends from God only knows what he had planned.
One question for Tristan being he does not drink alcohol anymore what's his and y'all's thoughts on cooking wine?? I don't drink any alcohol and I know it's been said that it cooks out when heated but just the thought of it I'm in doubt, so would love Tristan to put his two cents in on it, and Aaron and Crystal two cents, thanks ILY!!
@@conniebaldwin6393 Joe is Just gone to continue his life alone not with the pettit’s But ariana is in a different country so they are not together thats why they dont talk about her.
Hailing is common when it's hot under the clouds and minus degrees above the clouds. The raindrops freezes bounces arround on the clouds. When the hail miss the airstream or the cloud, it falls down on the ground. The bigger the hail, the more small hailcorn it contains. Therefore it's quite common at summertime.
You also forget Arianna. With sleepovers safety is important, but you can do it safely. Make sure you know the parents, and have been to their home. Make sure you have contact information, and your child has their phone with them. Go over safety rules with the parents and your child, and only let them have sleepover on weekends when they don't have homework. I think it is great for bonding time for your kids to have with their friends outside of school.
I am pro ABA but after seeing Evie a bit more frequently, I don't really think ABA is her best option. My son had ABA therapists for several years, but he was much younger. He was learning very basic stuff. She seems beyond that. Good luck with the equine therapy.
Tristan comment on religion is the exact same as me, I was forced into going to church despite my home life not being religious at all, being baptized without my consent, would be made to sit outside with Jehovah witness's until they left (sorry locked outside) because my mother didn't want to speak to them and instead of asking them to leave would make me deal with them as a child, I went into foster care many actually and one of the houses the man was actually a priest and we had a house at the back of the church and another house hold I lived in who was very churchy Christen church, whilst I lived with my mother I went to a Catholic primary school that was absolutely horrible but she wouldn't let me leave despite bullying etc, the whole grade sixes who went into high school the following year all had to go into special english classes etc because we were all so behind due to primary school being focused on religion rather than education, I hate anything to do with church religion etc because of how negative and forced it was on me, so Tristan I 100% get you ❤
I loved playing in the warm rain as a kid. I use to spend the night at a best friends house alot. Another best friends house I stayed at alot over the summer when she came to spend the summer with her dad and bonus mom. Tristan you forgot Alex, Halie and Ariana. Speaking of Ariana how is she doing?
I’ve known people who’ve struggled with addiction to alcohol and other issues some got sober and some didn’t. For religion and foster care when placed in your care ask them tell them about your religion and allow them to make their own decision and respect it and see if there’s a time to attend services and activities if they don’t choose your religion.
My daughter does equine therapy and let me tell you it has made such a big difference I couldn’t believe it. I think evie is going to do great and I think she will love it!!!❤ good luck evie and I can’t wait to hear all about your adventures
I really like that Tristan is direct. I much prefer people who are direct rather than trying to sugar coat everything or beat around the bush.
Literallyyyyy😭
Same here!
Being direct is a great thing; however, people need to realize that you can be direct & saying it in a way that is respectful & with kindness, so it’s less hurtful. Especially if a person is sensitive. Having empathy is very important also when speaking to those that have been through a lot of trauma growing up.

I have a soft spot for him too. There was a time he was very attached to Hannah. With the arrival of more kids, the dynamics changed.

Love watching your videos!! So glad to see Tristan back in the family. It’s like there was no time missed.
Tristan's artuculate and well worded answers show that he has become an expert by experience in many fields.
His unorthodox way of gathering and combining knowledge and know-how, are refreshing and remarkable.
I appreciate his generosity for sharing openly.
Wishing him to realise a trip to or even a stay in Japan, a special country and culture!
Can't believe aroura is already going into the second grade.
I think all the kids are lucky to have you and aaron as parents.
It was so adorable that she found a second grade t-shirt 😍

Brody is so cute love the way he does interviews...
Aurora is so sweet I could see how Tristan has become one of her favor brother... my heart melted to hear Aurora to get the poster/picture for Jamie is so nice everyone thinks of each other...
Evie looks so pretty with her middle part and slicked back hair! You really get to see her beautiful face :) love seeing Evie and your relationship
Eevie is a kid that needs a lot of attention to high strong but very kind and sweet her hair is grease she needs to wash it with special shampoo
I hope they have enough time for her with that many kids, thankfully most kids are older.
Lmao Brody is so funny. He is a good interviewer.
I'm an autism coach. Evie seems to be pretty socially appropriate as far as I can see from the videos which I know is only a snapshot of everyday. I'm not sure how her academics are but she seems pretty well adjusted. My grandson's also has level two autism and he just does better in a smaller classroom setting. So you just have to adjust to what works best for Evie to be successful. I also worked with a child that is now an adult who's been doing equine therapy for years and it's very good.
Brody is hilarious. I want to see a whole video of Brody walking around saying nice.
Crystal I love when you show videos like this when the kids are just being kids and running around in the rain and just being kids.
I absolutely love that when the kids are at the store they always think of the other kids ❤
That was so sweet of Aurora to think about Jaimie because she knew Jaimie would love it.🥰😊
Those kiddos had way too much fun in the rain. I love it too
Teenage Dirtbag what a banger. Lol he looked so annoyed with him self forgetting Alex and Hallie he was so confident too! I know i shouldnt have favourites but i cant help but have favourites....."nice!"
Don't forget Arianna! (9:55 Tristin naming all family members)

Now, i think it will be great too for Tristan to interview the kids so he can ask things he never knew about the during his absence years. It will give him the chance to fill in the gaps for him too especially for the kids that joined the fam when he wasnt there.
Tristan you definitely need to visit Japan! I've been there twice and it's a country everyone needs to visit once in their lifetime if you are able to travel.
By the way, Tristan is hot!! 🔥
I'm sure he has a fan club here , myself included. 😅
Yesterday, being 29 July was my birthday it started off rough as the Pastor of the church had stolen my birthday cake and given it to my ex-boyfriend for him to consume. It had been purchased for me because I’ve been financially struggling. It was purchased by a fellow member of the church and a friend of mine. I have decided that I will no longer be attending a church with such a dishonest leader; instead, I will be building my own prayer, and Bible study group. After I made that decision, God filled my day with abundance it just suddenly out of nowhere turned around in ways that are just blowing my mind. I literally begin my day without even basic food. Let alone a birthday cake the day ended with having friendly company and just feeling so special and nurtured. And I must admit that I am not feeling so well in the stomach because I’ve eaten a little bit too much. But that just goes to show that things can truly change. Nothing is impossible with God (and those with unconditional love in their hearts)
2nd comment but I have to say I completely agree with Crystal on the no sleepovers rule. My kids each had one friend that I knew the families well enough to let them sleep over with but our house was always open for the kids to stay with us. My daughter had 2 friends murdered by another friends father. His house was a popular hang out spot for a lot of kids because he bought and served them alcohol and let them do whatever they wanted. When one of the girls accused him of SA she disappeared not long after. We aren't sure how he lured the second girl in because she was suspicious of him already. Sleepovers just aren't worth it. He ruined and altered so many lives, none if the kids in their class will ever be the same. That was 22 years ago. Stay safe Crazy Pieces family and friends. I'm sorry to comment such a horrible thing but it happened. And it happens all the time. Much more than you'd think. More recently a man in the next town over from ours was convicted of drugging 3 girls at his daughter's sleepover. He put Ativan - which causes drowsiness- in their smoothies. Thankfully one girl was not knocked out and was suspicious because he kept checking to see if they were breathing. She pretended to be asleep but texted a family friend for help. She saved herself and her friends from God only knows what he had planned.
What a beautiful surprise. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
One question for Tristan being he does not drink alcohol anymore what's his and y'all's thoughts on cooking wine?? I don't drink any alcohol and I know it's been said that it cooks out when heated but just the thought of it I'm in doubt, so would love Tristan to put his two cents in on it, and Aaron and Crystal two cents, thanks ILY!!
Don't over do it and it will cook out.
Tristan actually reminds me a lot of Aaron, they have the same personality.

Alex , Halie & Ariana 😁.
I think Ariana is in the same boat as Joe......they never talk about either of them.
@@conniebaldwin6393 Joe is Just gone to continue his life alone not with the pettit’s But ariana is in a different country so they are not together thats why they dont talk about her.
@@Safawii15ariana isn’t in a different country, just a different state
@@Safawii15 not dw it’s okay! just wanted to let you know so you weren’t confused!! 🫶🏾
Okay mason for the Costco chicken lol I love this
Hailing is common when it's hot under the clouds and minus degrees above the clouds. The raindrops freezes bounces arround on the clouds. When the hail miss the airstream or the cloud, it falls down on the ground. The bigger the hail, the more small hailcorn it contains. Therefore it's quite common at summertime.
Great video, as always!! So much fun to watch!! ❤❤❤
I watching your videos and I have my bells on your videos and I'm subscribed to your videos and 👍 ☝
Here in England we get nothing but a rain and it’s always cold rain
My kids would love it there ❤️😃
You also forget Arianna. With sleepovers safety is important, but you can do it safely. Make sure you know the parents, and have been to their home. Make sure you have contact information, and your child has their phone with them. Go over safety rules with the parents and your child, and only let them have sleepover on weekends when they don't have homework. I think it is great for bonding time for your kids to have with their friends outside of school.
I am pro ABA but after seeing Evie a bit more frequently, I don't really think ABA is her best option. My son had ABA therapists for several years, but he was much younger. He was learning very basic stuff. She seems beyond that. Good luck with the equine therapy.
Tristan comment on religion is the exact same as me, I was forced into going to church despite my home life not being religious at all, being baptized without my consent, would be made to sit outside with Jehovah witness's until they left (sorry locked outside) because my mother didn't want to speak to them and instead of asking them to leave would make me deal with them as a child, I went into foster care many actually and one of the houses the man was actually a priest and we had a house at the back of the church and another house hold I lived in who was very churchy Christen church, whilst I lived with my mother I went to a Catholic primary school that was absolutely horrible but she wouldn't let me leave despite bullying etc, the whole grade sixes who went into high school the following year all had to go into special english classes etc because we were all so behind due to primary school being focused on religion rather than education, I hate anything to do with church religion etc because of how negative and forced it was on me, so Tristan I 100% get you ❤
I loved playing in the warm rain as a kid. I use to spend the night at a best friends house alot. Another best friends house I stayed at alot over the summer when she came to spend the summer with her dad and bonus mom. Tristan you forgot Alex, Halie and Ariana. Speaking of Ariana how is she doing?
I’ve known people who’ve struggled with addiction to alcohol and other issues some got sober and some didn’t. For religion and foster care when placed in your care ask them tell them about your religion and allow them to make their own decision and respect it and see if there’s a time to attend services and activities if they don’t choose your religion.
I used to be a Pepsi girl but haven't had any caffeine in almost 14 months.... caffeine isn't good for my heart
Tristan has a very nice voice, a radio voice 😊
7 years sober here
Congrats!
Congrats
Hat off!
In fact, everyone has a tendency for addiction We all react differently to that! Take good care.
My daughter does equine therapy and let me tell you it has made such a big difference I couldn’t believe it. I think evie is going to do great and I think she will love it!!!❤ good luck evie and I can’t wait to hear all about your adventures
