I can't get enough of River! His sweet voice always answering, L M car(s) always in his hands. Full throttle, loving life. It's undeniable that God's light was always with Riv. LiveLikeRiv 🎈
I cried for 10 minutes...then I laughed for 20. We love this family. We continue to pray and mourn with you. This is all for a reason. Doesn’t make sense at the moment, but it will one day. ❤️
Riv riding passenger seat with his little head out the window, free as a bird. That’s how I like to think of him now, too. I can’t imagine y’all’s pain. ❤️
1- Granger, I love you and your music! 2- Amber, you are so beautiful, wonderful mother, pure soul. 3- River is such a beautiful little angel. God just has a different plan for him. 4- I love you beautiful London and sweet Lincoln! Gods plan- We don’t understand it now but we all will one day and it will be beautiful and full of love. Prayers and great faith always!❤️🙏🏻✝️
Tyler always seems so serious until the kids come around, and then Uncle Ty Ty is a whole new guy. So glad these kids are surrounded by such good people and so much love.

This was recommended to me recently but it hurt my heart to watch it, but I'm watching it now and just, wow, my first thought is that of course every day is a blessing and our babies are gifts, but THIS DAY was a gift from God to you Granger. What a gift to treasure . . . just wow. I'd hold that little car in my pocket forever if I were you. And I say this because I've watched some of your interviews recently and you said how you felt his mission was complete, so that's why I feel safe saying this to you. God knew and he gave you this beautiful day with just you and him. You guys have another prayer warrior on your side watching your videos. May God and an army of many angels surround your beautiful family till you all meet again one day when your missions are complete. I believe our loved ones are waiting for us and when we get there it's like the blink of an eye since we saw them last. God bless. 🙏
Sad that a week later little River was gone and their lives changed forever. Such a blessing tho to have these memories. May God continue to bless this family. I’m sure little River is speeding on a little tractor up in heaven and looking down with his precious smile on his face. 👍
You know... I'm not a parent, probably won't be for at least a few more years or so. But I am a big brother in a pretty significant 11 year age gap and everytime I think of you guys losing River I think back to when my brother was 3 and how unbelievably tough it would be to lose someone at such a young and pure age. I've literally been thinking about it since I heard the news yesterday and I am heart broken. After watching your videos and experiencing your lives these past few months I truly feel like I know your family which makes it hurt even more, to me and everyone else in your audience You, Amber, London, Lincoln, and River have all become part of our families, therefore have no doubt that you and your family are in a lot of people's thoughts and prayers and Riv will live on through so many people that got to experience these past few months with you and your family. God Bless the Smiths PS I clicked on this video to see if I could find a good frame of River smiling to try to make me feel better knowing he was such a happy little boy and if anyone else is interested in seeing what a pure soul looks like go to 1:29
River IS so precious! Hes with Jesus now. Like King David Said of his son that passed "he cannot return to me but I CAN go to him". Praise Jesus hes made a way! HALLELUJAH OUR SAVIOR LIVES.
Just a few things. 1. Try not to stand at the entrance of the hive, that tends to lead to more stings. 2. Raccoons do not bother hives however skunks will. 3. You do smoke to much LOL. You should not need gas to start your smoker. 4. The sticky stuff is called bee glue or Russian penicillin or propolis. It is tree resin and other sources. 5. Bees can live long during the winter up to 3 to 4 months. Also bees have several different life stages. 6. You are doing just fine you learn from doing, keep it up.
No one can be in a perfect mood 24/7/365&6 for leap year, so its nice to see even frustrated from time to time it shows your real, and as for the bees that's awesome to see. You learning even in a hobby helps the population out.
Sweet River...Rest in peace precious little angel. My thoughts, prayers and love to you and your family...My heart hurts with you. We love you River.🙏🎈💙
As a kid growing up in the country my grandmother had bees. A local beekeeper (Choice Horn) would work her hives, he only wore a bee mask over his Pith Helmet. I was amazed that he would do this in a plaid short sleeve shirt & his work pants... I've seen him capture a queen then the bees swarm his arm, to transfer them to a new hive. He was only stung a few times when he brushed them off in the new hive ... I was fascinated by that crazy event. Thanks for sharing, keep up the homesteading hobby. You will inspire the next generation.
I'm so glad you didn't remove the videos featuring Riv (and no-one would have blamed you if you had, especially if they made you feel worse). I didn't know who u were until recently, as I am from Wales, I love country music but tend not to follow it, so please excuse my ignorance!! This beautiful child, River, will continue to bring you sooo much joy in your lives. There may be subtle changes or things you feel, sense, touch even smell, like his favourite bath gel, his favourite food, songs, the possibilities are endless but each time u sense him u'll hear yourself say "Riv's here" and u'll feel him all around u. U'll reach a point when u'll be able to think and talk to /about him without breaking down or feeling that excruciating pain and sense of emptiness & despair. It does get better, I promise! Hugs to you all Jaylyn🎈❤️🦌🐻🕊️🙏🙏🕊️🐇🌹🌻🥀🎈
Hey smiths family! I’m actually a Commercial bee keeper! Your guys had me laughing but I loved it! It’s hard to tell but it kinda looks like the dead colony dwindled and eventually starved to death. It happens all the time. We run around 2500 colonies and it just randomly happens! Got any questions just send me a message!
Don't let the comments discourage you all! Especially from those who boast with the intent of dragging others down. Sure wish I could talk you out of a jar of that honey on your way to Fort Smith. ;)
Best wood to use is fluber yucken tree bark for smoke. To feed your bees is the bubba hamma oil and to get better gas mileage is to change the air in your tires each month. Don't forget to replace your blinker fluid often! Just some tips of better Bee Keeping.
Our 7 year old son came running in at 6 a.m. to tell me "MOMMA there's a new smiths" After morning chores we sat down to watch the smiths. I love that y'all dabble in so many things and do it as a family. I also LOVE that y'all show the parent struggles holy moly it's so gosh darn great to see a normal family. Y'all are awesome and there will always be people who got something to say about what you do but y'all are doing just fine! We are gonna miss the KC show and my little guys are so bummed but we are planning on surprising them with meet and greet passes at your Camdenton Mo show! They are gonna freak out!
The love that you’ll shares with each other, family, your children (you two are great parents) is beautiful. I pray for your family 4 times a day. I am so sorry for lost of River. River was a great litter boy his smile, him talking. Photos and his sense of humor . But the one great thing is, we all will see River again. Amen, Amen and Amen. river can wait to meet you in Heaven!
Love you and praying for you all. Love your channel . You’re all such a real inspiration to me and so many - ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🎈🎈🎈. Love the 🐝 “ I’m just a hobbyist, I’m a country singer” lol - dang awesome one for sure!!!
I've been around bee's and bee keepers my whole life. We rely on them to pollinate our Almond crop. Fascinating creatures who live an average of 45 days.
I am so touched by your family you all are so awesome My heart aces watching this video River is such a sweet boy I can't say was because he is still here with us can you imagine how many people that love your family and how they feel like they are part of the family I know you guys feel the same way you all are in my prayers and my heart
Great job guys! Always love the posts. And I for one loved the bee stuff. Learning is the best part. Remember if ya ain't messin up your not learning. Not to say you are. I personally thought it was great!!!
What's up SMITH FAMILY..! Thank you again for sharing your life with us all..! I wouldn't begin to give you advice... Sounds like you've done your research though..! There is a youtuber, Taras Kul (aka Carzy Russian Hacker), who has several videos on his bees, hives, and processing.! (maybe something new there..! again just a thought.) I'm sure you'll get them going strong..! Congrats on your pond filing up and on the NEW video..! Can't wait to see it.! Keep them coming.! as always THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE ONE AND ALL...!!,
Granger, y'all are being awesome stewards of the land. I work for a pest control company in Houston and getting people to understand that bees need to be live removed and relocated and not just killed because it's cheaper is an ongoing fight. Anyway, love the vlogs and looking forward to your new music. Bee seeing you at a show soon I hope.
You both did great, don’t you worry about the ingenuine comments. You’re learning & we should be helping out, not tearing down. Cedar wood- “I ain’t afraid to spank.” Lol !! Thank you, keep it real & I’ll keep watching. River... those precious babies. 💯
Looking at River in the videos makes it so good To hear his tender sweet voice just gives me goose bumps I just want to believe his alive but it's a myth I only got to see his videos two days but I feel that I've already known him He's like a twinkling star in a minute yu see it in seconds its gone that's him yu see him and he's No more ever since I started to watch I can't Resist 🙋 Granger is brave enough to go near those Bees if I were there I would disappear far away from those bugs Ive read lot about bees they are dangerous to human Great farming Granger❤
Y’all are awesome for doing this and showing us. I think I can speak for most of us we love watching! Thanks for the videos and keep them coming! I don’t know anything about bee keeping but it looked like y’all are doing a fine job at it. Take care! #yeeyee
Honestly guys, awesome bee video. I love bees, hummingbirds, butterflies. So interesting to watch! You should write a song about it!👍 Thanks for sharing!
that was cool & kinda funny watching you with your bees. So funny you talking to them, "It's Just Daddy"! lol Awesome channel you guys have here!! Cheers from Cincinnati Ohio
This is so interesting to watch. I’m very allergic to bee stings. The honey that is locally produced, is used for mine and our sons allergies. We start in the spring. Thank you for sharing this.
Yes same here. My goodness. I know he is in heaven and has all sorts of lightning McQueen cars and just having a blast. Watching over his family as he is holding our lord and saviours hand.
Love the videos..I was super nervous when Granger was taking about the bee box! But I’m really interested in the whole bee thing and making ,my own honey!!
Riv is a angel and never gone never forgotten.
I can't get enough of River! His sweet voice always answering, L M car(s) always in his hands. Full throttle, loving life. It's undeniable that God's light was always with Riv. LiveLikeRiv 🎈
I have to return to fishing with Riv every so often just to get a smile on my face again.
You’re family is in my thoughts and prayers. RIP sweet angel 👼
He loved his lighting McQueen. So sweet.

I cried for 10 minutes...then I laughed for 20. We love this family. We continue to pray and mourn with you. This is all for a reason. Doesn’t make sense at the moment, but it will one day. ❤️

As much as I’m sad watching this with Riv I feel I need to. Still can’t believe it and it’s been this long. Love you and we will always Live Like Riv.
Same 😀🤠 #YeeYee #LiveLikeRiv
What a sweet angel I think he rides along with all of us seeing these videos it just makes my heart melt
Sad that a week later little River was gone and their lives changed forever. Such a blessing tho to have these memories. May God continue to bless this family. I’m sure little River is speeding on a little tractor up in heaven and looking down with his precious smile on his face. 👍

Yes the face of angel. It hurts like he is one of our own .
RIP river you made everyone happy you raised river very well and now all the time he will be looking down on you
The beginning of this video was honestly hard to watch. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
River IS so precious! Hes with Jesus now. Like King David Said of his son that passed "he cannot return to me but I CAN go to him". Praise Jesus hes made a way! HALLELUJAH OUR SAVIOR LIVES.
My husband and I just started bee keeping too. They are the most amazing creatures. Just proof of God to me. They are awesome!!!!!!
Prayers to your family cant imagine what you guys are going though! Much love Rest In Peace sweet boy!
Just a few things.
1. Try not to stand at the entrance of the hive, that tends to lead to more stings.
2. Raccoons do not bother hives however skunks will.
3. You do smoke to much LOL. You should not need gas to start your smoker.
4. The sticky stuff is called bee glue or Russian penicillin or propolis. It is tree resin and other sources.
5. Bees can live long during the winter up to 3 to 4 months. Also bees have several different life stages.
6. You are doing just fine you learn from doing, keep it up.
No one can be in a perfect mood 24/7/365&6 for leap year, so its nice to see even frustrated from time to time it shows your real, and as for the bees that's awesome to see. You learning even in a hobby helps the population out.
Just wanted to watch River for a little bit tonight. One of my favorites of him demanding to hold his car❤
Such sweet memories, but it breaks my heart to watch this and imagine what you are going through. You all have been in our prayers.
Sweet River...Rest in peace precious little angel. My thoughts, prayers and love to you and your family...My heart hurts with you. We love you River.🙏🎈💙
This was such an interesting episode! I had anxiety watching y’all with the bees, but Granger had me laughing many times 😂
"I aint scared to spank" sounds like a great song you should write hahaha
“Let’s go and get some cat food” lol such a bright soul shining
Rewatching this video of beautiful Riv ❤ love it so much 🥰
As a kid growing up in the country my grandmother had bees. A local beekeeper (Choice Horn) would work her hives, he only wore a bee mask over his Pith Helmet.

We wish you young man. Your Grace Granger, is God!
My Granny was one of the people who could tend bees without protective gear. She never got stung that I saw.
I'm so glad you didn't remove the videos featuring Riv (and no-one would have blamed you if you had, especially if they made you feel worse).

Love your family! Love the country life. Your babies will learn so many valuable lessons from country living. Keep making videos!
Damn, spoke too soon
I really enjoyed River. It was a blessing to my heart!!!❤😊💜and the bees

Don't let the comments discourage you all! Especially from those who boast with the intent of dragging others down. Sure wish I could talk you out of a jar of that honey on your way to Fort Smith. ;)
I love beekeeping. We did it for 2 years and lost our hives back to back. I hope to start back next year in 2022

Such a wonderful video of you bonding with your lil angle in heaven. Blessings to the family.
If I were to have a time machine I would go back in time to bring back River and make the tragic death never happen.
It’s so awesome seeing you doing these videos with your family! It’s cool to see you don’t let fame get to you. Stay great brother and Bee easy
That was cool, learning about bees and beekeeping
You both did great, don’t you worry about the ingenuine comments. You’re learning & we should be helping out, not tearing down. Cedar wood- “I ain’t afraid to spank.” Lol !! Thank you, keep it real & I’ll keep watching. River... those precious babies. 💯
I've never actually seen or bothered to look up how bees are maintained in those; so this was really cool to watch.
SUPER JOB ON THE BEES 👍 I put honey in my coffee every morning 🙏❤️
Yee Yee Honey!!! Sounds good!!! There’s a good one in Liberty Hill called Jackass Honey Farms.
Looking at River in the videos makes it so good
To hear his tender sweet voice just gives me goose
bumps I just want to believe his alive but it's a
myth I only got to see his videos two days but I feel that I've already known him
He's like a twinkling star in a minute yu see it in seconds its gone that's him yu see him and he's
No more ever since I started to watch I can't
Resist 🙋 Granger is brave enough to go near those
Bees if I were there I would disappear far away from those bugs Ive read lot about bees they are dangerous to human
Great farming Granger❤
Absolutely keep making more videos. Keep em coming!
Watching this today and i still cant believe lil River passed away. Prayers for this family.
Y’all are awesome for doing this and showing us. I think I can speak for most of us we love watching! Thanks for the videos and keep them coming! I don’t know anything about bee keeping but it looked like y’all are doing a fine job at it. Take care! #yeeyee
Not one bad comment on this video. We love you Granger and the family ❤️
My husband and I are also beekeepers! Just had our first experience with our hive swarming! Looked like a bee tornado in our yard!! 🐝
I just started beekeeping this spring, bees are one of God’s most interesting and complicated creatures. They amaze me.
If you sell the honey. Definitely would buy some. :)
Honestly guys, awesome bee video. I love bees, hummingbirds, butterflies. So interesting to watch! You should write a song about it!👍 Thanks for sharing!
Always learning new stuff everyday, great video as usual. YeeYee !!

Still thinking about your family. Sending positive thoughts and strength your way.
This is so interesting to watch. I’m very allergic to bee stings. The honey that is locally produced, is used for mine and our sons allergies. We start in the spring. Thank you for sharing this.
You guys did a great job!! My husband and I were like that too when we first started!! Love bee keeping

Thinking & praying of y'all 🐞
Love the videos..I was super nervous when Granger was taking about the bee box! But I’m really interested in the whole bee thing and making ,my own honey!!
Y'all did fine! Bees know what bees do and if they weren't happy they'd leave. 😊
I played with caterpillars my whole childhood and my kids did to. They don't hurt you.
His little voice is so cute 😢
