Being a single Mom for my son’s early years, funds were limited. One of his fave memories (& mine) was laying a blanket out and would ‘cloud watch’. Telling each other what we saw… Blessings to All, Belinda
This video 😭😭 Thank you for posting 🙂It brought tears to my eyes, no actually I was balling 😥😭 I am almost 70, my daughter turned 50 a few weeks ago and my youngest son turned 35 yesterday. This video brought back so.many memories of spending summer's camping, fishing, hiking, etc. Cherish your time, it will.go so fast 😟
This video is going to be amazing for your kids when they are older, the beautiful memories! Love the farm life. You are a total boy mom Janine, I think little one is going to be just as rugged as her big brither- that's awesome! The zip line is just so much fun. I grinned through this whole video. Bless you and your family. Taking the time to slow down and treasure the younger years with simple outdoor ingenuity and play is priceless.❤ Tammy
I love to hear such laughter from y'all. It's a great joy that y'all have been blessed with precious gits as y'all's children and the laughter they bring. They're growing so fast,full of life and energy and love. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awe, what a magical summer full of simple moments. Cherish them mama! This is my oldest son’s last summer before graduation and I have twins that are just a few years behind. The teen years are so different. I love that you’re making the most of your summer and capturing it along the way. You won’t regret it.
Thanks for sharing and I'm sure you are facing many emotions with graduation on the horizon! I can only imagine how different the teen years are. Thanks for sharing and blessings to you in your season of life
Your videos are pure joy! I find myself smiling through the entire post. You are definitely making wonderful memories for your children. What a gleeful life flying through the air on a zip line1
Aww such a great video as always. I am so happy you love camping at Prince Galizten, I so miss that place, it really is my happy place. I can remember going on tne trails and just sit and sketch and listen to all of the sounds and smelling all of tne fresh air, the smell of the green moss and the sounds of the small streams strickling through the woods. I feel so close to God there, It calms my soul there. It's so beautiful there in the Fall, I really miss it, but it warms my heart seeing you guys appreciating times spent there. Hugs from Ephrata. 🤗 BtW Goods in Ephrata has mamma java now, ☕I just saw it yesterday, didn't have enough money to get a bag , maybe in a few weeks, my hubby is the coffee drinker in the family. I am a hot tea drinker myself.❤🤗😘
Ah reminds me of our summers as kids and then my kids playing outside until the street lights came on. That was truly a thing. Parents and neighbors sitting on the porch chatting. I loved when you all were outside and we could see the lightning bugs!! That is a whole different story..lol Anyone here old enough to have played Red Rover Red Rover, dodge ball, four square? My husband and I are empty nesters and our only 2 Grandkids live in Florida an us in Indiana. This Nana has a lot of sky miles...😊🦋
Aww love it! Playing outside till the street lights come on. And the games? I played all of those as a kid 😅 I guess that makes me older. Thanks for sharing your memories!
Janine, you are an AMAZING MOM and don’t you forget it. Who cares about picture perfect pinterest? Your kids aren’t gonna remember any pics or ideals you got from pinterest, they are gonna remember the time you spent with them and the wonderful memories made. It’s more important to spend time with your kids than getting some ideals from pinterest. May God continue to bless you and your precious family.
Beautiful video and a beautiful message. Summer is so short and you are certainly making every moment count. How many kids have a zip line in their back yard? Looks like Nolan spent most of the day perfecting it…what a wonderful dad he is too 🥰. Your children will always remember these days and what great parents they had. Enjoy what is left of our summer ❤️
Jeanine this was such a fun video; I watched through parts of it twice!! I may watch again later. You are a great Mom and YES hay fort DO count!!!!!💕 Nolan is such a good father; I love the way Xander is always at his side helping, wrestling or just being beside his dad!! Xander has the best personality!!!!💕 You all really raise the kids to be fearless!! Look at all Lexi does at just 2 years old! I am amazed!! She was just so cute in all the shots of her; having such fun. I love the song at the end! Hope you all are enjoying your weekend!!! Love and Hugs!!❤💕
Aw, the spilled cherrois brought back memories when my 2 daughters wanted to cook oatmeal and spilled it all over the kitchen. They were about 6 and 7, now in their 50's!!! Love all the laughter...I joined in 5oo. Lol
What a heartwarming vlog absolutely beautiful your kids have the best parents that do everything in there power to have the best life and your video skills are something else Janine love to you all from across the pond in wales x
Xander is getting so big. I agree, summer can be so busy. My 2 oldest are at weekend youth meetings right now, and the 2 middle girls are planning to go to camp next week. I do want them to have those outings, but we also have grass to mow and homestead chores.
You are doing the right things by enjoying your family while they are young. The years move too quickly. Beautiful video. Loved the zip line. That is a hoot.
So eloquently said ❤ …I’ve always treasured summers with my son. When we’d come inside and saw how dirty we were, my son would say: Mom we had a really good time! Love&Blessings, Belinda
I am so glad that I found you! I'll bet you didn't know you were lost . I was a steady follower and then something came up and I could not be on the computer for a while. I went to connect and I couldn't find you anywhere. This happened right about the time your little girl was born. I remember you had done her room in pink and it was so beautiful. She has grown quite a bit since then - and so has Xander. I have moved to western NY. I am not sure if that is a long way from you or not but maybe one of these days we can visit. Driving the tractor makes you a "well rounded" person of many skills. Love Ya
Awe ❤This made me so happy!! I absolutely love you guys & I hope that you enjoy the notebooks. Thank you for adding my package to your video bcuz I loved watching the kiddos open it. My husband watched this one & now wants a zip line 😂 Also, how cool are those lightning bugs... We def don't have those in Idaho. Can't wait to see what your next video will be ❤ Enjoy the rest of your summer, my friend. God bless y'all 🙌🏻
I’m a grandma and I feel the same way about summer. I have certain things I want to do with my 7 and 9 year old grandsons. We went to Boiling Spring pool and a few times to another pool. Went to Jubilee day and next week to Hershey park. Next week Laurel Lake. Soon they will be too old. Enjoyed your video
Love the video and country scenery. Love the camping with Lexi in boat very cute. We are getting our whole house professionally cleaned in few weeks because we had bedbug problem all year and we had to get some help to get it done. Pray for us.
I’m in PA about 20 miles northwest of Pittsburgh. It’s very hilly here. I didn’t realize it’s so flat where you’re at. We’re heading to Malvern next weekend and to Bethlehem to visit a close friend. So I’m anxious to see more of Pennsylvania. I love this state! I love your videos!
Liebe Janine, danke wieder für das wunderschöne Video, ihr habt so eine schöne Farm und die Kinder sind so süß 🥰…wie heißt euer Corgi? Wir haben zwei Zwerg Langhaardackel …unsere zwei Kinder sind erwachsen und wir habe zwei Enkelkinder. Die Notizbücher sind ja so schön, wäre auch toll mit Dackel drauf🥰 Ganz liebe Grüße und Gottes Segen🙏🏻 Christina🙋🏼♀️♥️
Precious! 💛 Your life is such a great example of living in this world but not of it. Appreciation for God’s creation, His blessings and living a God/Jesus centered life. 💛💛💛
What I learned in this video: 1) The boy Mom who was apprehensive about having a girl was given, by God, a little girl who is a perfect fit for her Mom, and 2) we don't need a Pinterest life if we have a skid steer.
Hello from Australia my son is a carpet cleaner , once a year he gets invited to USA to clean all the Ronald McDonald houses for sick kids free of charge . I’m one very proud mum blessings from OZ 🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love your videos but please wear life jackets. So many times a parent looses their life trying to save a child. Everyone needs to wear a life jacket when out on the water.
Janine don't worry about the Pinterest home or lunches. Be the fun mom you are because this too is going to go by quickly. Enjoy every moment w these babies. Because once they are gone....it's a lonely little world because once they hit a certain age...they start there lives. Make the memories & snap all the photos you can. Enjoy being the fun mom.❤💙🩷
@@theMennoniteMom Yes...I wish I could rewind some time...but we learn as we go through life. Enjoy each season. My daughter is in her 30's. Y'all have such a beautiful place for the children to run & play. Such a beautiful safe place to be a child.
Being a single Mom for my son’s early years, funds were limited. One of his fave memories (& mine) was laying a blanket out and would ‘cloud watch’. Telling each other what we saw… Blessings to All, Belinda
Beautiful memories! You don't need money to spend quality time!
@@theMennoniteMom Agreed, some of our best memories cost nothing. Imagination and creativity at its best 😊
I use to put a blanket on the grass and had a picnic every Friday noon with our 4. The newly washed floors stayed clean a few more hrs!
This video 😭😭 Thank you for posting 🙂It brought tears to my eyes, no actually I was balling 😥😭 I am almost 70, my daughter turned 50 a few weeks ago and my youngest son turned 35 yesterday.

Aww thank you. Your words are exactly what I see coming and I get desperate to slow time. It sounds like you have wonderful memories as a family!
I second how quickly time passes. Every day should be treated as a beautiful gift!
I just LOVE Xander's excitement for things in life! He is so easy to please.

Beautiful family! God bless you all and thank you for sharing it with us. 🙏❤
Loved seeing the lightning bugs. That brings back huge summer memories. 😊
Oh to be young and care free, the kids are having a wild time and loving it.
I see lightning bugs in your yard when it was dark!! That made me so happy!! Zander had so much fun on the zip line and so did Lexie.
I love all the fireflies
You're a good mom. You got skills that so many of us moms don't have. Keep on mama.❤
Thank you! We are all unique that's what makes people so interesting. I'm glad we all have different interests and gifts. Blessings!
Recently we got to finally take that trip to Alaska. I thought of you when we were there and now want to go back and see where all you went.
Oh how fun!
Your videos are pure joy! I find myself smiling through the entire post. You are definitely making wonderful memories for your children. What a gleeful life flying through the air on a zip line1
Thank you! I'm glad our little joys bring a smile. God bless your week!
You're both giving your children a most wonderful childhood

Your example is such a blessing. My youngest will be 22 in December. He has just been put on full-time at his job. Time flies and doesn't stand still.

Thank you! Love summer! My great grands stay during the day, we ride bikes! Cut grass and water hose spraying!

That's awesome! Yes he is
Where'd the little boy go. He's gotten so big. So has your daughter😢.. they do grow up!
I know. It's so sad 😔

This video could be titled "How do you spell BLESSED".
