+Kayla G jacksons going to be 3 in January, and if Ellie was to get pregnant, she wouldn't have the baby until after jacksons birthday, and Calvin would be two or almost two.
+Sydney Wiler they've already said before they wanted to wait until both of the boys were a bit older then have another one so yes it would be crazy to have three kids aged three two and newborn ..
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! I am so glad you guys started filming your journey for those of us experiencing infertility. It is a community unlike any other. The love and support we all have is overwhelming and I am so happy to watch you to and your wonderful family. The world needs more people like you!!
i'm so silly! having tears in my eyes because jackson is such a big boy already, hahahaha :-D so proud of him! good job! :) much love from germany - stefanie
You guys are absolute sweethearts. Out of all the vloggers I felt like you guys and Cullen and Katie are the most genuine and so appreciative of what you have. May all the gods bless you forever to come xx
have you ever noticed that their moms look alike. There is one specific vlog where I thought they were sisters and I was astonished to find out that they were Ellie and Jareds moms.
+egtackerman Right! matter of fact both mom's were in the first E&J vlog I ever saw almost 2 yrs ago I believe, and I thought they were sisters. It took me a few vlogs to realize that one was Jared's mom and the other was Ellie's mom. LoL
I love watching the vlogs. Like I said in the comments of the giveaway vlog, I've been watching you guys since you started your journey to expand your family. My husband and I struggled to start our family. I found out I had PCOS and was devastated. No one talks about it. I felt all alone. I came across your vlogs while searching PCOS and realized that there can be happy endings. A month later, waiting to start my first round of clomid, I came to find out I was pregnant! Fast forward to now, and we have a happy 15mo boy, Greyson. We are trying again and having a difficult round again but I know it's possible and I just keep on keeping on. I turn to your vlogs for smiles and cheer. Because you you guys, I've been vlogging since I was around 12 weeks pregnant with Greyson. I am so thankful that you have inspired me to vlog and I have the memories of the baby bump, and videos of pretty much all of my son's firsts (first steps, etc.) this past year and a half. So, thank you...
Ellie and Jared, I just wanted to comment on something. I haven't been watching that long, but I really like the videos that include your parents and/or have your siblings. Seeing the type of parents you both have, it's so clear to see how you both turned out to be the sweet people you are. You can see how much love there is between all of you. Of the videos of Jared's parents, his dad is always smiling, and Ellie, by watching your mom, I see such a nurturing person, that it's easy to see how you and Jared are the wonderfully loving parents you are. You both have such great role models. I also love watching the interactions with your siblings. There's so much love that radiates from all of you. Thank you for sharing so much of yourselves with all your subscribers. As one of those subscribers, I appreciate a glimpse into the everyday life of such a beautiful family. I hope you all have a terrific week.💖
Congratulations to the lovely ladies who won :) really looking forward to seeing their new vlog channels!!! So sorry I missed the vlog...I was looking after a sick hubby. Ellie, Jared thank you so much for your vlogs, they truly warm my heart and give my husband and I hope for the future. My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for almost seven years...we did conceive but twice we lost our beautiful babies at the third month mark :( our God is so good and we know He will heal our hearts from the loses. Thank you for lifting us up daily with encouragement. I once heard a song and the lyrics said "I have no socks to put upon my feet, but then I look and see a person who has no feet to put the socks upon". There is always someone going through so much more than we are in the world and we always try to keep our hearts right by remembering things like this. You guys are an inspiration to us...God Bless.
See 2 year old can and should be potty trained..yet I don't understand why Ollie is 3! And still not even closed to being potty trained..clearly it's the parents.
+LorsheSyd they aren't being rude like yourself yes I know each kids are different and teached but at least Jackson learned he learned more quicker than most kids
some kids learn earlier than others! and I think the reason Ollie isn't potty trained yet is cuz he think if he is all the attention will turn to his baby brother. he sees his brother in diapers and thinks he needs to be in them too so he gets what he wants. the same things happened to my sister when I was born. And honestly you have no business to even talk about it being Bryan and missy's fault! its their kid and they can do what they want with him! wither you like it or not!
Aww I was really hoping to win, but that's okay! So happy for those ladies! You guys are so amazing for giving people a chance like this! Hope those ladies enjoy! So happy for them!
Since starting our own daily vlog channel, I have fallen so behind on my favorite daily vlog families & so it's been a little while since I've had a chance to watch you guys. I set aside time today to binge-watch & catch up, but I HAD to say.. I can not get over how GREAT Jackson is talking now!!! He's becoming a little boy & not so much baby anymore!! I just love your family!!!!
Yay! congratulations to the winners! You guys are just amazing, loved listening to your kind words near the end. If there were more people like you, the world would be a much better place ❤
Thanks for remembering where you came from...Its so refreshing especially since youtubers like Daily Bumps seem to have forgotten that. Now it's all about how many toys can they buy in one vlog. Thanks for keeping it real!
Congrats the the winners of the giveaway! Ellie and Jared, I just wanna say thank you for what you said in the end vlog. I had hoped to get in contact with you both, I even tried to send a message via youtube, im not sure if that was the right place, but either way the questions I had asked were kind of just answered in your summary of "what would you do if you weren't afraid?" And encouraging people to vlog if they want to, it inspired me to keep going. Since I started daily vlogs I have had my concerns and many times I reconsidered.. but, Im going to continue this daily vlogging for 30 days, and I think I may do another 30 after that just to give myself a real chance at deciding how I feel and if its right for our family, so thanks for the encouragement, extremely helpful! best wishes!
I love how grounded you guys are! You are the most realistic, warm and considerate people I've seen in a long time. Thank you for your videos. Ive been watching you for over a year now and your videos have gotten me through a really hard year dealing with the loss of my mother last year and my fathers recent remarriage. Thank you for your videos.
what an amazing giveaway!! congrats to the winners! I love the phrase "What would you do if you weren't afraid" ever since you guys talked about it in one of your vlogs it hit very close to home with me. it was the main reason why I started vlogging and also the main reason why I started running marathons again! fear is such a huge factor in people's decisions and it honestly made me open my eyes to the decisions I was making and everytime I think no, I can't do that. I always think but what if I wasn't afraid?? so thank you so much guys!!
Congratulations to the winners. So happy for you guys. Thank you Ellie and Jared for your awesome kindness and pure hearts for making someone else's days better. Thats why you guys are so blessed. You guys are great. Do anyone else agree.
Your little family is so cute. I'm in awe at the blessings you have. Waiting so long for Jackson and then being told little Calvin may not make it when you found out you were pregnant. Now look at them. So precious.
I just wanted to leave a comment which is not something I often do and say that your remark of "It's always darkest before the dawn," literally brought me to tears. I was just broken up with after 5.5 years, 2 months away from our wedding, after being cheated on and working on our relationship for several months. I am struggling so much with God's plan. But, those words were so encouraging to me you have no idea. So thank you so much.
I had cancer I've had a bone marrow transplant and it makes me feel better watching you guys I love you guys so much xx. And when I had my transplant I lost 20% of my body weight and I was so weak you guys made me happy when I was miserable xx 😘😘 hope you guys read this comment xx 😘😍😍
Ellie I feel the same way about shopping! I always tend to online shop for clothes because going into stores like Forever21 and H&M is VERY overwhelming for me. I could walk around Target for hours just browsing for stuff but when I know I have to find a dress for a certain occasion I get stressed out!
I'm so thankful to be able to watch such a humble family. You all bring tears to my eyes because I can feel how genuine a couple you are. Love you guys and your families.
This is why I love you. You are the most generous family. I am also struggling with infirtility. I know the two winners will use those cameras to share their stories. Thank you for sharing yours too Ellie and Jared 💖
I'm just the same as you Ellie, I prefer to do online shopping because stores get so overwhelming unless I"m just browsing for ideas! LOVED the trampoline footage. You guys are such goofballs. Love it :) Not sure if I wrote this in the other vlog, but you guys were a huge reason I finally started a RUclips channel after wanting to for over a year. My hubby and I met you the night of Bryan's EP release party, and I had just ordered my vlogging camera that same day, and I told you that :) Here I am 6 months later and I'm so so glad I started!!!
Omg you made me cry . I've just restated to vlog again after 12 miscarriages and one molar pregnancy that could have formed into a type of cancer . finally and happy to announce I'm now 15 weeks pregnant and have only just got the guts to vlog again .its people like you guys that give me the encouragement to vlog not only the good times but the struggles too . Thanks for the encouragement xx
Aww Ellie, I feel ya on the getting overwhelmed in large stores. I can't shop in them either. Also, love the tea sets! I have those in my house as decor. Yes, It's sorta like a grandma's house, but well... I like the look of tea cups, saucers anything tea related.
Congrats to the winners!! And Ellie, I get like that too in the bigger stores. I usually end up shopping online or in smaller stores. You're not alone! 😊
I wanted to say Thank You to both of you! I found you guys when I first was diagnosed with PCOS over two years ago and I have loved watching your family! Watching gives me hope that my husand and I might have to chance to start trying and have a family soon!
+Ellie and Jared I'm glad you filmed your infertility story. It helped me a lot to get through my fight against PCOS and other health problems. I've TTC for 3 years and almost gave up, but fortunately now I have two beautiful twin boys.They're 11 weeks old. They made me so happy and complete I can't even describe it. Jared, your words at the end of the video made me cry, because I also still remember what it's like to fight and lose every month. Thank you for all your hard work and for giving hope to those who still fight.
I loved the end of your vlog today! Infertility changes you and even after you are successful in your journey it still stays with you, you are never the same person you were before you discovered building a family wasn't going to be easy. I found your vlogs a little under 2 years ago when my husband and I were about to start iui, I really appreciate that you guys posted your journey with all of the good, bad, and ugly because it made it easier to go through :-)
Awe I was hoping the announcement would be that you're having another baby!!! 😢 you're family is so cute and as a daycare worker I always hope my children will be just as well behaved and well mannered as Jackson and Calvin are! Keep being awesome parents!!!!!
Dear,Ellie and Jared,Also Jackson and Clavin! I have been watching you since Jackson was born! The progress you made through RUclips,and your own life is incredible! You both are so blessed and your channel inspires us to not give up when somethings going wrong. Every time I read the comments everyone is so sweet because of what y'all are doing. Your family is such well mannered and is thankful for everything God has in store for your family. I know you are going to be the next amazing generation of RUclips. When I'm sad I watch your Vlogs and I smile! When I'm board I take Ellie and Jarred's words and spend time with my family. We love you E+J!
I love you remembering where you came from and the infertility community. It is so true that it is darkest before the dawn. My husband and are tried for years to have children and it didn't happen for us. We made the decision to do foster care while we planned what was next. Little did we know what God had planned for our family. Now in just 2.5 years we have had the honor of fostering 12 kids and adopting our son (and maybe 2 more in the next year). Had we not gone through infertility, we would have never considered foster care. I know without a doubt, this was what our family was meant to do. We currently have 4 children 2.5 and under and it is the best kind of crazy. Infertility is how I found your channel to begin with, and I am so glad I stayed.
Jackson has your adventurous spirit, for sure, Jared. He is not afraid to try new stuff. I'm so proud of him and the potty thing too. He will be ready for kindergarten soon. Your such a sweet, daring boy, Jackson and we all love you. I love how yup has changed to yeah. Growing up you stinking cute baby boy! 💙💙💙 And little Cal is communicating more, he is so mobile, sleeping better and all those good things that you have been waiting for. God bless both these boys. Stay as sweet and adorable as you are. Love you too, Cal. 💙💙💙
wow...Ellie I have the same problem to. I can not stand looking at so many clothing together. I get like a fobia and end up getting out of the store with nothing in my hands. So I feel you girl. Don't feel bad, you are not the only one. Well, take care and I am glad the kids are doing so good and they are growing so quick. God bless you all and your little family. Don't forget to thank God for everything you have and everything you get. He is great.
I love that saying "it's the darkest before the dawn". Wow that just touch me because of what I'm going through right now. Thank u for being u. Thank for being true to who u are and what u stand for. I just didn't know how to come to terms with my situation. My mom has cancer and I don't know what to do where to turn. what u said put things in perspective for me. Thank u !
So awesome you guys. I actually found you guys by your infertility video. My husband and I have definitely gone through our own fertility struggle. We had a miscarriage early on in our journey, and then after treatment (IUIs and meds) on and off for a little under a year we decided to take a month off and wound up pregnant again but once again miscarried. I couldn't handle going through all that work again to possibly have another miscarriage if we wound up pregnant for a third time. We knew there was no way we'd be able to afford IVF any time soon, and we knew adoption was something we wanted in the future, so we started looking into that. But couldn't afford private adoption either. And we wound up in foster care. It was not something we ever thought we'd do but God just opened that door and before we knew it we were certified and waiting on a placement. It took a few months, but Sep 2015 we went and picked up our son! He was almost 6 weeks old at that time. And now he just turned 1!
And now we're just waiting to be able to adopt our little man. And when he was almost 7months old we were surprised to find out we were expecting!! And God has worked a miracle and I'm now 7 months pregnant with that little surprise! Our little baby boy should be here in the fall! We truly have been blessed. Our sweet boys will be about 15 months apart. We couldn't be more excited to see our little guy be a big brother either!! 💙
+Ellie and Jared - thank you for your inspiration... My husband and I have been going through infertility these last 4 years and I have had operations to fix endometriosis, IVF which failed, but this month just gone we went through a frozen embryo transfer and I am now 4 weeks pregnant! I have followed you guys since I had my laparoscopy in 2014 (was searching for inspiring videos on infertility and yours came up!) and love that you are so open and honest about it... Keep on having fun and inspiring people! I didn't enter the competition however as I am in Australia :-)
Believe that you do touch lives and you make the world better. I've learned so much from your channel.....how to be a better parent,friend ,sister and citizen....even at my age you've taught me to never stop trying and be the person who you want your children and grandchildren to be.
I just wanted to say that I think you two are so amazing. Even though you have over 800,000 people around the world watching your daily lives, you still don't change anything about yourselves like most you tubers do. You guys are so real and so open to everyone whether it be about your relationship, your family, or your religion. You guys are such a great inspiration to so many people of so many different ages and I hope one day I can be just as amazing as you two! Thank you for always staying so true to yourselves. Love you guys and your sweet family, can't wait for many more years of videos!
I love that you remember your infertility journey. Many people forget where they came from. People in the infertility community are some of the best people in the world. I wish we would have been recording during our trials with infertility. :)
Man you two! You always make my heart smile. I love your videos. I'm so excited before the winners. Hope anyone else suffering from infertility finds results. My husband and I have been trying for almost 2 years. We have been praying and praying. Everytime a niece or nephew is born we pray even harder. All together my husband and I have 32 nieces and nephews with 2 on the way. My siblings all have children and I'm the only one in the family who doesn't. Jared and Ellie you 2 and your 2 little men are an inspiration. Good bless you all! Xox
Holy moly! It's super crazy for me to see someone I grew up with become so big on RUclips! My husband introduced me to the vlogging world. And now I'm doing it too! That's awesome that you're encouraging others to follow their dreams too. Oh, and say hi to your dad for me! I still remember loving his seminary class!
Jarred I had a former Pastor who has passed away now, but he use to say "It is always darkest before the dawn" that just took me back when you said that and it is so true. :)
Sorry Jackson... but your "I'm Tough!" look made me want to hug you and give you kisses😍. What does the equation Jackson plus Calvin equal? Complete and utter cuteness overload‼️. Such an incredible family. Thank you for the inspiration, smiles, hope and faith
Jared's saying "what would you do if you weren't afraid" changed my life so much! I'm so happy to have you guys as an example for marriage, parenting and just being a good person
Love you guys and I really appreciate that you went back to your roots when you picked the giveaway winner! I have a different struggle that I'm going through and will be going through for the rest of my life and I'm determined to start blogging and vlogging to help me get through it and also to help others understand what the disease it since it is not well known at all. I'm curious to know if you would be willing to schedule a Skype session with a non-giveaway winner to help give tips and support to a new vlogger?
I wait all day to see these videos, I love to watch them. My mums always saying please stop stop you don't need to be watching people on RUclips all the time but you make me want to keep watching you make me happy and when I'm down you cheer me up it would mean the world to me if I could meet you or Video chat just to talk to you properly instead of just writing comments to you. Thank you to all four of you for taking time from your day to film it just so you can show us and make us happy, it takes a lot of effort to be a RUclipsr and your filming and making a house. Your all fantastic I love you guys so so so much and hope everything goes well with your house. Jackson and Calvin are beautiful wonderful one of the best things I've ever seen I just love them so much and they are really really cute. I'm great full for everything you do for us, you could easily just forget about filming your day because you don't have to film it its your decision hope I meet you some time good bye 💜🌎💜
Ellie! News flash. You can have a tea party NOW!Get whatever tea set you ant. It doesn't have to cost $200. You can get one in good condition from the Salvation Army, Goodwill etc at a very reasonable price, or get a new one from a chain store, jwely store on deep clearance! Bottom line, you don't have to deny yourself unnecessarily. Invite your girlfriends and the moms to a "Tea Party." Use your grownup tea set and have fun. Serve refreshments. It will be lots of fun!
Jared, I hope you don't find this weird, but your voice is very calming and relaxing. When you were explaining Calvin's sleeping routine your voice was very soothing to listen to.☺
This is literally the reason why i absolutely have to watch you guys everyday. you're literally so inspiring and you guys help a lot of us get through our days. you guys are so caring. i 💗 you guys.
"I do most of my online shopping, online." 😂 oh Ellie 💞
It's funny, because I do most of MY online shopping through the farmers market. - Jared
+Ellie and Jared haha!:)
+Ellie and Jared hahaha!
+Ellie and Jared loooool
Haha looooool !!!!!!
Baby #3 needs to happen
Oh my goodness. They have two kids under 3. A third kid would be crazy, at this point!
+Kayla G jacksons going to be 3 in January, and if Ellie was to get pregnant, she wouldn't have the baby until after jacksons birthday, and Calvin would be two or almost two.
+Sydney Wiler they've already said before they wanted to wait until both of the boys were a bit older then have another one so yes it would be crazy to have three kids aged three two and newborn ..
I think they are waiting for the house to be done and then they'll try for baby #3
Yeah, that's what I wanted to hear too : )
Thought they were pregnant😭
Same
Me three!!!
Omg me too I got so happy!!😂

I think her mouth and brain were out of sync. She knew what she meant, but it came out differently. Happens to me a lot.

+annika jaopo eh😬 they kinda let the fame get to their heads. Not trying to hate just saying.
It's crazy how Ellie and Jared both look like their dad's
have you ever noticed that their moms look alike. There is one specific vlog where I thought they were sisters and I was astonished to find out that they were Ellie and Jareds moms.
When I read this comment I thought it said Ellie and jared both look like dads
Trish G I've noticed that as well!
+egtackerman Right! matter of fact both mom's were in the first E&J vlog I ever saw almost 2 yrs ago I believe, and I thought they were sisters. It took me a few vlogs to realize that one was Jared's mom and the other was Ellie's mom. LoL
Am I the only one who taught they were going to say that Ellie was having another baby??
Me

Me. I wished they were.

" Jared hubby mecham" on Ellie's phone. So cute!
Ikr
Congrats girls on winning the cameras!!! :)

See 2 year old can and should be potty trained..yet I don't understand why Ollie is 3! And still not even closed to being potty trained..clearly it's the parents.
Okay, they said they didn't want to kinda rush him into it and traumatized him. No need to be rude fuckhead. Not all kids learn at the same age.
+LorsheSyd they aren't being rude like yourself yes I know each kids are different and teached but at least Jackson learned he learned more quicker than most kids
some kids learn earlier than others! and I think the reason Ollie isn't potty trained yet is cuz he think if he is all the attention will turn to his baby brother. he sees his brother in diapers and thinks he needs to be in them too so he gets what he wants. the same things happened to my sister when I was born. And honestly you have no business to even talk about it being Bryan and missy's fault! its their kid and they can do what they want with him! wither you like it or not!
Rude wow. It's not the parents they are probably waiting caus Ollie has swim class and more important stuff so it's not the parents.
Bicth ollie and jackson are two different kids u dumbass jackson learned because he wanted to so go fix your life and then come talk about others
Yayyyy!!! So proud of Jackson! The boys are such cuties ^.^
Congratulations to the winners of the cameras. Super happy for you. Thanks Ellie and Jared.

Your little family is so cute. I'm in awe at the blessings you have. Waiting so long for Jackson and then being told little Calvin may not make it when you found out you were pregnant. Now look at them. So precious.
You Guy's are such a heart warming family.i love when Calvin and Jackson play together.keep making awesome videos.🙂
Way to go Jackson!!
Congrats to the winners!
Ellie and Jared, you are amazing for doing this giveaway and you are such an inspiration. Thank you!
I just wanted to leave a comment which is not something I often do and say that your remark of "It's always darkest before the dawn," literally brought me to tears. I was just broken up with after 5.5 years, 2 months away from our wedding, after being cheated on and working on our relationship for several months. I am struggling so much with God's plan. But, those words were so encouraging to me you have no idea. So thank you so much.
Omg. The part of the trampoline park made me so happy. Jacksons smile is pure joy. Love you guys!!!
I had cancer I've had a bone marrow transplant and it makes me feel better watching you guys I love you guys so much xx. And when I had my transplant I lost 20% of my body weight and I was so weak you guys made me happy when I was miserable xx 😘😘 hope you guys read this comment xx 😘😍😍
Ellie I feel the same way about shopping! I always tend to online shop for clothes because going into stores like Forever21 and H&M is VERY overwhelming for me. I could walk around Target for hours just browsing for stuff but when I know I have to find a dress for a certain occasion I get stressed out!
I'm impatient, all these house updates, I want to see the final product!'
I'm so thankful to be able to watch such a humble family. You all bring tears to my eyes because I can feel how genuine a couple you are. Love you guys and your families.
I LOVE seeing calvin and JAckson growing up! So lovely! I mean Jackson's 'Thank you' when Ellie congratulated him on going to the potty! Soooo cute!
They are seriously the most positive, uplifting, adorable family! #familygoalssss
You two are seriously the sweetest. God didn't give you the success you have on accident. You are both so motivating and uplifting.
Congrats to the giveaway winners! Thanks for being so generous, Ellie and Jared. We love your family! ❤️
Omg before Jared talked about Jackson's cheek I thought it was jelly 😅

+It'sHailey 😂😂

How could anyone dislike this? Such a wonderful happy loving family
This is why I love you. You are the most generous family. I am also struggling with infirtility. I know the two winners will use those cameras to share their stories. Thank you for sharing yours too Ellie and Jared 💖
Congrats to the two ladies!!
I just love watching Calvin learn! Also his skeptical face during the Dino clip made me laugh. So proud of Jackson!!
Ellie with her balloon bump.... :')
Good job Jackson !!!!
Calvin walking on the trampoline is priceless ! He looks so confused :D
I had never heard of this family. The dad is super sweet - but wow, he is flamboyant!! I really like them - they seem very loving!
I'm just the same as you Ellie, I prefer to do online shopping because stores get so overwhelming unless I"m just browsing for ideas!
LOVED the trampoline footage. You guys are such goofballs. Love it :)
Not sure if I wrote this in the other vlog, but you guys were a huge reason I finally started a RUclips channel after wanting to for over a year. My hubby and I met you the night of Bryan's EP release party, and I had just ordered my vlogging camera that same day, and I told you that :) Here I am 6 months later and I'm so so glad I started!!!
Congrats Lauren and Sarah on the giveaway!! Thank you Ellie and Jared for the generous giveaway. Love you guys!!!
Omg you made me cry . I've just restated to vlog again after 12 miscarriages and one molar pregnancy that could have formed into a type of cancer . finally and happy to announce I'm now 15 weeks pregnant and have only just got the guts to vlog again .its people like you guys that give me the encouragement to vlog not only the good times but the struggles too . Thanks for the encouragement xx

Congrats to the people who won the cameras, that's awesome!
Aww Ellie, I feel ya on the getting overwhelmed in large stores. I can't shop in them either. Also, love the tea sets! I have those in my house as decor. Yes, It's sorta like a grandma's house, but well... I like the look of tea cups, saucers anything tea related.
Ellie's dancing was the funniest thing ever, so much love for you Ellie!! 😂❤
Congrats to the winners!! So special that you guys did a giveaway and that your so greatful where you are!
Congrats to the winners!! And Ellie, I get like that too in the bigger stores. I usually end up shopping online or in smaller stores. You're not alone! 😊
I love how Ellie has Jared as Jared hubby mecham 🙌
As her saved contact
I thought they were expecting too. Congratulations to the winners!
Congratulations to the winners!!! Thanks Ellie and Jared for doing what you do!
Congratulations to the winners! You deserve it, I'm so happy for you guys☺️
I wanted to say Thank You to both of you! I found you guys when I first was diagnosed with PCOS over two years ago and I have loved watching your family! Watching gives me hope that my husand and I might have to chance to start trying and have a family soon!
Cutest moment at 2:00 minutes! Love it!! God bless you guys
+Ellie and Jared I'm glad you filmed your infertility story. It helped me a lot to get through my fight against PCOS and other health problems. I've TTC for 3 years and almost gave up, but fortunately now I have two beautiful twin boys.They're 11 weeks old. They made me so happy and complete I can't even describe it. Jared, your words at the end of the video made me cry, because I also still remember what it's like to fight and lose every month. Thank you for all your hard work and for giving hope to those who still fight.
I loved the end of your vlog today! Infertility changes you and even after you are successful in your journey it still stays with you, you are never the same person you were before you discovered building a family wasn't going to be easy. I found your vlogs a little under 2 years ago when my husband and I were about to start iui, I really appreciate that you guys posted your journey with all of the good, bad, and ugly because it made it easier to go through :-)
Awe I was hoping the announcement would be that you're having another baby!!! 😢 you're family is so cute and as a daycare worker I always hope my children will be just as well behaved and well mannered as Jackson and Calvin are! Keep being awesome parents!!!!!
Dear,Ellie and Jared,Also Jackson and Clavin! I have been watching you since Jackson was born! The progress you made through RUclips,and your own life is incredible! You both are so blessed and your channel inspires us to not give up when somethings going wrong. Every time I read the comments everyone is so sweet because of what y'all are doing. Your family is such well mannered and is thankful for everything God has in store for your family. I know you are going to be the next amazing generation of RUclips. When I'm sad I watch your Vlogs and I smile! When I'm board I take Ellie and Jarred's words and spend time with my family. We love you E+J!
I love you remembering where you came from and the infertility community. It is so true that it is darkest before the dawn. My husband and are tried for years to have children and it didn't happen for us. We made the decision to do foster care while we planned what was next. Little did we know what God had planned for our family. Now in just 2.5 years we have had the honor of fostering 12 kids and adopting our son (and maybe 2 more in the next year). Had we not gone through infertility, we would have never considered foster care. I know without a doubt, this was what our family was meant to do. We currently have 4 children 2.5 and under and it is the best kind of crazy. Infertility is how I found your channel to begin with, and I am so glad I stayed.
Jackson has your adventurous spirit, for sure, Jared. He is not afraid to try new stuff. I'm so proud of him and the potty thing too. He will be ready for kindergarten soon. Your such a sweet, daring boy, Jackson and we all love you. I love how yup has changed to yeah. Growing up you stinking cute baby boy! 💙💙💙 And little Cal is communicating more, he is so mobile, sleeping better and all those good things that you have been waiting for. God bless both these boys. Stay as sweet and adorable as you are. Love you too, Cal. 💙💙💙
congrats to the winners!!! i just love how ellie and jared do giveaways so they know who there fans are!😘
It's always darkest before it's dawn, absolutely true! Love it!
wow...Ellie I have the same problem to. I can not stand looking at so many clothing together. I get like a fobia and end up getting out of the store with nothing in my hands. So I feel you girl. Don't feel bad, you are not the only one.
Well, take care and I am glad the kids are doing so good and they are growing so quick. God bless you all and your little family. Don't forget to thank God for everything you have and everything you get. He is great.
Ellie, I'm the same way with Forever 21 and stores like that! I hate it when stores are so busy like that. You're not alone!
I love that saying "it's the darkest before the dawn". Wow that just touch me because of what I'm going through right now. Thank u for being u. Thank for being true to who u are and what u stand for. I just didn't know how to come to terms with my situation. My mom has cancer and I don't know what to do where to turn. what u said put things in perspective for me. Thank u !
So awesome you guys. I actually found you guys by your infertility video. My husband and I have definitely gone through our own fertility struggle. We had a miscarriage early on in our journey, and then after treatment (IUIs and meds) on and off for a little under a year we decided to take a month off and wound up pregnant again but once again miscarried. I couldn't handle going through all that work again to possibly have another miscarriage if we wound up pregnant for a third time. We knew there was no way we'd be able to afford IVF any time soon, and we knew adoption was something we wanted in the future, so we started looking into that. But couldn't afford private adoption either. And we wound up in foster care. It was not something we ever thought we'd do but God just opened that door and before we knew it we were certified and waiting on a placement. It took a few months, but Sep 2015 we went and picked up our son! He was almost 6 weeks old at that time. And now he just turned 1!
And now we're just waiting to be able to adopt our little man.
And when he was almost 7months old we were surprised to find out we were expecting!! And God has worked a miracle and I'm now 7 months pregnant with that little surprise! Our little baby boy should be here in the fall! We truly have been blessed. Our sweet boys will be about 15 months apart. We couldn't be more excited to see our little guy be a big brother either!! 💙
that's such a inspiring story, wishing you the best of luck!
+Ellie and Jared - thank you for your inspiration... My husband and I have been going through infertility these last 4 years and I have had operations to fix endometriosis, IVF which failed, but this month just gone we went through a frozen embryo transfer and I am now 4 weeks pregnant! I have followed you guys since I had my laparoscopy in 2014 (was searching for inspiring videos on infertility and yours came up!) and love that you are so open and honest about it... Keep on having fun and inspiring people!
I didn't enter the competition however as I am in Australia :-)
Everytime I see Jackson's cheek I always think it's jam :)
Believe that you do touch lives and you make the world better. I've learned so much from your channel.....how to be a better parent,friend ,sister and citizen....even at my age you've taught me to never stop trying and be the person who you want your children and grandchildren to be.
Congratulations to the winners of the cameras, what a beautiful thing to do Ellie & Jared. 👏👏
Well done to the winners....
Aaawww Jackson bless falling down bless him xx
I just wanted to say that I think you two are so amazing. Even though you have over 800,000 people around the world watching your daily lives, you still don't change anything about yourselves like most you tubers do. You guys are so real and so open to everyone whether it be about your relationship, your family, or your religion. You guys are such a great inspiration to so many people of so many different ages and I hope one day I can be just as amazing as you two! Thank you for always staying so true to yourselves. Love you guys and your sweet family, can't wait for many more years of videos!
I love that you remember your infertility journey. Many people forget where they came from. People in the infertility community are some of the best people in the world. I wish we would have been recording during our trials with infertility. :)
Man you two! You always make my heart smile. I love your videos. I'm so excited before the winners. Hope anyone else suffering from infertility finds results. My husband and I have been trying for almost 2 years. We have been praying and praying. Everytime a niece or nephew is born we pray even harder. All together my husband and I have 32 nieces and nephews with 2 on the way. My siblings all have children and I'm the only one in the family who doesn't. Jared and Ellie you 2 and your 2 little men are an inspiration. Good bless you all! Xox
Holy moly! It's super crazy for me to see someone I grew up with become so big on RUclips! My husband introduced me to the vlogging world. And now I'm doing it too! That's awesome that you're encouraging others to follow their dreams too. Oh, and say hi to your dad for me! I still remember loving his seminary class!
I get overwhelmed in stores too!! We went to Mall of America several years ago and I was feeling dizzy the whole time I was there.
Congrats to the winners & I'm happy to hear that Jackson gets right back up & is a tough kid.
Jarred I had a former Pastor who has passed away now, but he use to say "It is always darkest before the dawn" that just took me back when you said that and it is so true. :)
Sorry Jackson... but your "I'm Tough!" look made me want to hug you and give you kisses😍. What does the equation Jackson plus Calvin equal? Complete and utter cuteness overload‼️. Such an incredible family. Thank you for the inspiration, smiles, hope and faith
Jared's saying "what would you do if you weren't afraid" changed my life so much! I'm so happy to have you guys as an example for marriage, parenting and just being a good person
Love you guys and I really appreciate that you went back to your roots when you picked the giveaway winner! I have a different struggle that I'm going through and will be going through for the rest of my life and I'm determined to start blogging and vlogging to help me get through it and also to help others understand what the disease it since it is not well known at all. I'm curious to know if you would be willing to schedule a Skype session with a non-giveaway winner to help give tips and support to a new vlogger?
If I was not so nervous I would try and become a singer I love music and singing it means the world to me. 👍🏻
So proud of Jackson! ❤️ And congrats to the ones who won the cameras🎉
I wait all day to see these videos, I love to watch them. My mums always saying please stop stop you don't need to be watching people on RUclips all the time but you make me want to keep watching you make me happy and when I'm down you cheer me up it would mean the world to me if I could meet you or Video chat just to talk to you properly instead of just writing comments to you. Thank you to all four of you for taking time from your day to film it just so you can show us and make us happy, it takes a lot of effort to be a RUclipsr and your filming and making a house. Your all fantastic I love you guys so so so much and hope everything goes well with your house. Jackson and Calvin are beautiful wonderful one of the best things I've ever seen I just love them so much and they are really really cute. I'm great full for everything you do for us, you could easily just forget about filming your day because you don't have to film it its your decision hope I meet you some time good bye 💜🌎💜
Ellie! News flash. You can have a tea party NOW!Get whatever tea set you ant. It doesn't have to cost $200. You can get one in good condition from the Salvation Army, Goodwill etc at a very reasonable price, or get a new one from a chain store, jwely store on deep clearance! Bottom line, you don't have to deny yourself unnecessarily. Invite your girlfriends and the moms to a "Tea Party." Use your grownup tea set and have fun. Serve refreshments. It will be lots of fun!
* want
Ellie, I feel you on going to huge stores. TMI. Go online shopping. What would we do without you. Hugs to you, Ellie, for your honesty. 💕
Jared, I hope you don't find this weird, but your voice is very calming and relaxing. When you were explaining Calvin's sleeping routine your voice was very soothing to listen to.☺
This is literally the reason why i absolutely have to watch you guys everyday. you're literally so inspiring and you guys help a lot of us get through our days. you guys are so caring. i 💗 you guys.
I think Jared as more fun than his boys at the parks.
yea lol. Jared has like a "kid" side of his personality but in a good way lol 0.
I love that! it's so fun for the kids!
alana
