Our New BABY! - This was UNEXPECTED!

I love that your kids are never on any electronics, they are simply just playing!

I think you have such a well rounded outlook. Letting kids play and explore is great. Way to go!

I love how you let your children explore. Little Miss Evie is going to be a heart breaker, and she is going to be in charge of her own business.

Joy, I hope you don’t beat yourself up about screen time. You and Austin are exceptional parents! I don’t believe for a minute that your kids feel like you’re not giving them the attention that they need. Do what makes you and your family the happiest… But please don’t think you’ve done anything wrong! ❤

Joy, your kids find the fun and joy in finding the littlest things to play with. It's good to see kids using their imagination and not being on computers all day.

Evie's yellow outfit with the bees is super cute! 😀

You are spot on about screen time! Children pattern themselves by example, so they will do as you are doing and want screen time too. You as a couple are raising your children God’s way. 💜

Im 71 yrs old. Retired. Single with a little rescue dog Buddy. I purchased a used 25 ft camper and moved into it fulltime. I totally agree with you on the TV & Social media time. I purposely took down the TV that came with the camper and gave it away. It has changed everything for me. I LOVE being outdoors more and ive been hand quilting and knocking out these quilts and i make prayer journals and these have gone to 25+ women friends. I wasted so much time watching TV etc. But im so done with that and im so present witb family and friends. God is so good like that that He gave me clarity about that wasteful time Thank you for sharing about that. Have a great time at friends wedding. Travelling mercies.

Austin’s parents property is beautiful. 😊

Joy you’re so beautiful and what a wonderful mom❤

I so enjoy how you allow your children to explore the world around them, to get dirty, solve challenges on their own, and learn by doing. I love that Gideon and Evie were barefooted while playing, too. As for the screen time, I agree with you. Even though my children are grown, it's important to me to be present when others are around, even at home. But, even more importantly, as you said, it's better for my mental health to limit my social media time. Finally, I just adore your gentleness and kind spirits, and your genuine nature. Thank you for being "real", and not trying to be the TV personality you could be....your fans love you all!

Love this video! I watch and save them all under your name. You have a beautiful family. I am a grandmother, age 72. I also have 2 sons and a daughter. Best part I enjoyed was your comments at the end regarding tv watching/screen time etc. I absolutely know how much time can slip away and in my case I pass the point of going to bed when ai am a little sleepy, to the point I am up all night some nights and then have a big problem getting my nights and days turned around!! So I do have a big garden and am trying to do more outside, planting flowers, etc. Balance Is always the key, and when I work outside or even run errands like grocery shop, going to Lowe’s for mulch, plants, etc. I get more steps in and am trying to also wear my watch to count those steps. I am always tired 🥱 when I do more out of the house. I prefer doing things outside the house, maybe my personality or the fact I was raised with two brothers, I being the middle child like your Evie was a tomboy! No matter how many cute feminine ruffles and lace dresses my mom made me and she, like her mother, was an exceptional seamstress, I would come home from school after climbing in all the gym equipment with several safety pins holding my beautiful hand made dresses together. I’m sure my mom wanted me to be this little feminine looking little girl but my personality was such, I wanted to keep up with the boys.😂 Anyway I digress. Love your videos and it brings back memories of my time as a young mom. Miss those days still! ❤

You are fantastic caring parents who always have time for their children .you happiness shines through all of you each time i watch .❤❤❤ never feel guilty about anything you have nothing but love for your family that the most important along with the love of god.❤❤❤

Evie is just the most beautiful little girl. She has so much personality! She reminds me of my daughter when she was little….she’s 44 now, lol. I love watching your beautiful family Joy. Thank you for sharing. 🌹💕🙏

That water pump reminds me of visiting my great grandparents in Eastern KY when I was a child. I ❤ it. Looks like your kids love it, too!

The kids are so care free, and happy. Joy your doing something right. You were a born mother.

you look really pretty in a baseball cap, looks like the kids are having fun, austins's parents property is beautiful

Evie is just the cutest!! Y'all are giving your kids the best life!!

Oh wow I'm 68 years old and haven't seen a bubble pipe in ages.i loved them when I was a little girl

This brought back memories of when your dad made that huge slide in their yard! That looked like so much fun! Letting kids get wet, dirty and having fun is the best. Blessings!
