He Moved In! | Moving Day! 

I honestly commend you guys for always accommodating for the life changes your children go through. I know some parents may not be in the place to be able to do so, but just the support alone that you give your children is a blessing.

I feel bad for the younger generation that are not able to be on their own just yet. I'm so glad Alex is moving back in.

It's so expensive to be on your own my husband and i were blessed to have my parents to financially support us when we needed it. They were the ones to lend us money for our first home. Thank you for being there for your kids. Emotionally and financially, it is a huge impact on their lives.

Aw yay! I think it’ll be so nice for Alex to be surrounded by family again instead of living alone, may be good for him! I also hope that the house is able to get fixed asap with ease

I have mad respect for Alex to have the maturity to realize he needs to come home and show an example to his siblings of a strong person. It’s sad what today and ages have come to ans crazy expensive

Teamwork- Megan Lara Proud of Alex for giving living alone a shot. There is nothing wrong with moving back in at home especially in this economy. I had to move out and lived alone at 18 and only wish I had the option to move back in with my parents and focus on myself, college, and my growth rather than bills. Wishing him nothing but happiness and success.

It will be such a treat to see Alex more often. We all have times in our life when we need some help. One day he'll be the one to help somebody else. He's a young man with a fine, bright future ahead.

I'm in my late 30s in a small town in North Dakota with multiple jobs and I can barely make it on my own. There's no shame in needing some help. It may not be ideal, but he's doing the right thing!❤ The teamwork from everyone was so heartwarming!

Everything happens for a reason! Never see anything as a failure; instead as a milestone that you had to learn a little more on🤎 amazing TEAMWORK as a family!✨ - Daisy Altamirano

Today, with everyone coming together to help out; whether it was moving Alex home or helping to set up for the party.... that's the very definition of Teamwork! - Nina Leo 😊

It’s heartwarming to see how comfortable the kids are to ask for help and to help others. Teamwork makes the dream work -Alicia Mendoza

That day, you certainly needed "Teamwork," and that's what you had! You may have been stressed on the inside, but your actions and voice didn't show! I'm going to try the salted caramel in my hot chocolate! I love that Ariana found her passion. I admit I was worried about her moving so far from home and being homesick, but she's doing wonderful. This comment is in no way being negative! I'm so proud of her at least going to try it! You can tell how much she loves this school and where it's taking her. As for Alex, you adjust to living back home, save your money and when you're ready, you'll know! You kids have wonderful parents, and you make it known! You love them as much as they love you, and you respect them. Unfortunately, today, there are a lot of kids who don't respect their parents. This falls back on Crystal and Aaron, you've done a wonderful job of parenting, and it shows by the way your children act.

Teamwork-Cristina Floyd I love how everybody came together to help move Alex back home ❤

Crystal, amazing all the things you accomplish in a day! Wonderful supportive family, that always pulls together! It is going to be nice to see Alex around the house again. Good luck to him!

I love how supportive each family member is. Not every family is lucky enough to be so close and to always have family that will have your back. Teamwork- Meagan Wade

Teamwork. You all work so beautifully as a family to get things done. What a beautiful opportunity for Alex to get to be back home for the holidays. How fortunate he is to have such a loving and supportive family surrounding him.

Love seeing Alex moving home. The team work with the whole family was awesome.

It’s hard to live on your own, the cost of living now is so much higher than it used to be, I’ll be glad to see Alex around more! Teamwork for the win! Also, thanks Crystal for the positive message. I had a really rough day today and that hit home. Follow your own advice!

I'm a mom and as my son grew up I asked him and I asked his friends "Are you heart happy?" If a person is truly happy they are heart happy. Yes there's points when you're sad/confused or many other things as you progress through life but if you're truly content on what you're working towards you're "heart happy" so just please make your heart happy. Go off that "beaten path" and make your soul/heart happy to be you. Hugs, love and peace.

I really really appreciate the message about following your dreams. My cousin recently moved back home from out of state back to her parents and she was feeling really sad because she really thought that one dream was what she wanted, but realized, it wasn't for her, but fortunately for her she moved back when she did, because a few months later, her mom passed away suddenly and without much warning. She would have missed all the time she had with her mom had she not chosen a different path. Life isn't always that dramatic, but it takes a lot to realize that you can have other dreams or that a different choice is the right choice for you no matter how many people are negative about it.

Your family is truly blessed! It takes TEAMWORK to get the impossible done!❤️

My grandmother always said in times of crisis or stress, always look for the helpers. These are people whose mission is to help others and you can find them in every situation. That's their gift. 😇

I hope your home gets back to normal. You've got this Crystal .

Alex seems like a wonderful young man with a lot of strengths. He seems to be lost in goals for a career. It might help to go to a consultant who can help narrow interests down and guide him toward plans for the future. He has so much potential!

TEAMWORK•••Amy Martin You have an amazing and loving family. I think Arianna pressuring what she wants in life is wonderful. She's doing great. My heart hurts for Alex, he is such an amazing young man. Sadly real life isn't always fair, but I also know that he will be ok. I think him moving back home is definitely for the best. Not just financially, but your family's loving support will help a lot. Big hugs for you all.💜

TEAMWORK!!! I love how close your whole family is and how everyone comes together as one to help each other in times of need .💖

Huge respect to you for carrying on hosting the party ,Glad Alex is moved back home ,have a good positive evening love from the UK ❤

Sometimes you need to move back - you didn't fail - its just another step in the ladder of success to get where you want to go

Teamwork ! Makes the dream work as the day. Good for Alex to have a home to always return. It’s hard out here for us new age adults trying to do adulting on our own !

Teamwork makes the dream work! I'm so glad you didn't cancel the party over pride. People just love to gather. It'll be a memory to speak of for years to come 💓 Holly S.

So great that everyone jumped in and helped. Teamwork!! Carrie Elkins

Wishing Alex a Happy Hollidays! I’m glad he can be home during this season. 😊

I love how you have instilled in your children the need to help those who need it. Your family stepped up to the plate on this day to help Alex and to get the house ready for the Christmas party. Love and God Bless Kathy Remember your house is just a bump in the road. This to shall pass.

Love how everyone pitched in to help Alex! Teamwork makes the dream work! In this economy and the cost of living, I’m glad Alex can come home and save! Hang in there Alex and be proud of yourself! You are doing a great job!!

Teamwork makes the dream work! So happy to see you stay positive during this time!

I love how your whole family has such great TEAMWORK. They all work together and nobody complains. I love watching your family come together and help out their siblings. - Kailey Wardlow

Alex- I hope you see this! I just want to say, I know it seems like you are taking a step back, but actually your life is just starting! You proved you can do it on your own, while supporting yourself! You also proved that healing isn’t easy but can be graceful! You have proven at a young age just how strong you are and sometimes when we do so, so young, we need to take a step back and breathe again! Which is what you are doing. You are breathing back at home with less stress of your own life. That’s okay ❤ you are doing what’s best for you right now and that’s beautiful to see!

Our 24 yr old son still lives at home, he attends culinary school & works a full time job. Places to rent are so expensive around us most is more then what we pay for our mortgage payment it super crazy. So he is saving his money to buy one day.

Teamwork- Amber Bridges Love seeing how everyone jumped in to help. And I wish I could move back in with family… rent is ridiculous (coming from a single momma in her 40s 😂) Glad that Alex moved back in.

TEAMWORK makes the dream work!! -Pam Brown Watching the Vlog while getting my medication infusion over three hours is probably one of my favorite things to do. Makes part of the time go by faster.

Teamwork -Madison Yeager Love how supportive your family is towards each other ❤

When Ariana came home from college, she was young, and homesick! She was living with people she didn't know in a dorm! She's had time to grow into herself and become more independent! If anyone has something negative and hateful to say, tell them to kick rocks! Everyone has to go to growing pains to figure out who they are! I think the negative hateful ugly people, are just jealous because they don't have great parents that will stand by them and back them up! Go Ariana you're doing great, don't ever let anyone dull your spirit! 💞

If you don't fail you don't learn, that's a part of life. I think it's great that you're family help each other all the time. Great job, "Teamwork" is important ❤ (Ginette)

Welcome home Alex! Loved the inserts on Aaron’s driving😂😂😂sending hugs and smiles to each and everyone of you!! I love how this family always pulls together as a team❤❤Enjoyed watching and thank you for sharing❤❤

It’s great to see a family come together with such great “Teamwork”- - Jo Adams

Just breaks my heart when I saw all those negative, horrible people with no morals, breaking apart a child’s choice when it comes to her in life. So proud of you, Ariana, no matter what you do you will succeed keep up the great work.

Everything happens for a reason. Love seeing you all having fun together ❤️ 😊

Teamwork: Carla Howe I know as vloggers you want to share only the good, but I'm glad that you are real and include the not so good parts of life with us. It's one of the reasons I love you all. I'm just sorry that you're dealing w/ this water leak problem and I'll be praying for a speedy (yet proper) fix! Another thank you for what you said at the end of this video. I wasn't expecting to cry, but goodness did I ever! My mental health hasn't been great at all this year, mostly because of work. I'm a 911 dispatcher in a center that is very understaffed. We've had to work 7 days a week for a while, and as someone who has 2 littles, been working here for 17 years and half of that burnt out... this has been too much. Thankfully now I am getting every other weekend off, but I'm not getting to go to church every Sunday which has not helped my mental health being lower than it ever has been. I have physical limitations on what I can do for work, and I live in a small town so there aren't many opportunities for a job that I can physically do. I have severe driving anxiety so I can't drive the 45 minutes it takes to get to better jobs. And just not having a job is not in the cards for me. I also haven't found a work from home job either. So feeling stuck for as long as I have has really altered my mental health as well. What you said Crystal at the end of the video made me cry because for so long I worried that if I quit my job I would make people mad. So I stayed, even though it hurt me in the long run. Plus I do like I what I do, just not the circumstances I've been in for the last few years. But you have given me inspiration to not stop looking for something that will fit me better, even if it may not be what everyone thinks I should do. I need to start taking care of myself and stop worrying about what others think. Sorry this is so long, IF anyone even reads this... But I just wanted to share.

I'm so happy to see Alex moving back home. Crystal you are not only a AMAZING MOM you are also a AMAZING Woman! Thank you and Aaron for making this world a BETTER PLACE! Merry Christmas to all

It is so awesome that you have the room for Alex to come home and regroup. It is important to be able to save up for a better start in in the world. You are awesome parents.

Good to see Alex moved back home.. love you crazy pieces ❤♥

Wow, I can't believe all that you had going on that day. I would have been a mess. What with the leaks in your hugh hse, moving Alex, plus hosting 50 women for a Christmas party. You are AMAZING ❤🎉❤... Glad everyone helped out.😊. Wishing you and yours have a Blessed Christmas and a wonderful Happy and Healthy New Year...🙏❤

Living with Family is the best way to go !! Good for you Alex , smart move xoxo !

Ariana is happy because she’s finally in a place that she feels comfortable & knows her goal to succeed in her life.

Follow your heart! You know if something isn’t for you and you shouldn’t keep going with it just to make others happy! I don’t care if you are 18, 38, 58 whatever age. If it’s not working find something that works for you. Great job in following YOUR heart Ari! YOU have to live with your choices. No one else. Keep going girl!

It sucks your kids have had a lot of negative comments during normal processes in life. I feel for them and I look forward to seeing them succeed. My heart goes out to Alex because I’ve been there done that but I know he’ll work it through! I hope to be a good mom like you! Teamwork - ieshia basa

So glad Alex moved back with his family - an upcoming holiday is no fun when you are on your own and coming to terms with it. It is very hard at least he has his whole family around him and he hopefully won't feel so alone xxx

Family makes the TEAMWORK so much easier 🩷

"TEAMWORK" makes the dream work. Thank goodness for a big family. Don't forget to breathe Crystal, it will all be ok.

Teamwork makes the dream work! Keep those spirits up guys!!!-Alanna Renee

22:04 to the end of the video. Crystal you are very right about what you said, you have to be happy in doing something you enjoy, Ariana you will never be a failure because you dropped out of the college you were at before, now you are happier that’s all that matter is doing something you love. You can’t be a failure in something you don’t enjoy ❤ - Lydia

So happy for alex

TEAMWORK! Your family always comes together to help each other out. The true definition of TEAMWORK and the love for each other.🎄❤️

Why don’t your kids ever say thank you when you compliment them? I’ve been noticing this for a while. You complimented Savannah’s slippers and got nothing.

I live in the UK and my youngest daughter who is 26 still lives at home. She would love to move out but the reality is that to rent a property is out of the question for now. Prices are so high here too. Best wishes to Alex, you have done the right thing moving back home. Xx

Atianna was never a drop-out. She always showed that she knew where she was. And the family kept her inside the parameter to become, same with Hallie and Alex. All in due time

We had a flood in our house and it took us about a year to get everything done. It was the kitchen and we decided it was a good time to completely redo the kitchen, since almost everything was from the 1970's. Since we wanted to pay everything without financing is why it took so long, and we did it by ourselves, except for the drying out of the flooding. That needed to be monitored by the insurance company. I feel your pain!

❤❤❤

Omg! I had no idea that people were being so rude to Ariana about leaving one college to go to another- that’s terrible! I’m proud of her for knowing herself well enough to say “this isn’t right for me, and I need to do the hard thing and make a change” and pursing the kind of educational program she wants in the school that’s right for her. 💪🏼

The “TEAMWORK” is amazing. It helps to have a big family.

I loved your message at the end. I taught at-risk high school students, and I tutored college students with learning disabilities. They all had been told by others what they couldn't do. I always told them to do what THEY want to do, not to let ANYONE tell them they couldn't do it. And if it was not the right choice, it was up to THEM, not anyone else, to change direction!

I love how you all support each other in everything you do. It takes Teamwork to get things done. Like helping Alex move home. ❤

That’s what my dad did for a living while I was growing up. Owned a business for water leaks. There was one time when I was like 10 years old when a whole old folks home was to their ankles in water and not only did we have to move all the old people out but we had to use a water vac to suck all the water out of the carpets and run blowers. It took ALLLLL night long and it happened when my dad decided to go hunting. Lol it was a memory me, my sisters and my mom will never forget because we had to help! 🤣 I know you hate the blowers but remember- the more blowers and the more they dry everything is the less likely you will have mold!

I saw a cop pulling over a U-Haul, I guess he was trying to bust a move 🕺. As soon as one door closes and another opens, it’s time to pack up and move because your house is clearly haunted 🧟‍♂. Good luck Alex.

It's great to see how you all support your children i had to move home recently when my husband passed tragically and im so thankful for supportive parents ❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing the life lessons and solutions to throwbacks of your family. It is great that you could make room again for Alex, so he can reflect on which path he wants to walk. Take good care and celebrate every good moment. In a humble and grateful way.

I always wondered to myself like why I enjoy watching your family’s channel so much, and I think I’ve realized that you guys all share such a beautiful family bond, no matter who enters your home they always feel loved and welcomed, and I think that is something that I never fully received as a child. It’s so beyond beautiful and inspiring to see you create such a strong family who sticks together, everyone has each others backs and it is so amazing!!! Keep on going crazy pieces !! You guys are all beautiful and so inspiring so thank you 😭🥹🫶

We had our house flood last year just before December. It was horrible and I wanted to cry because I was afraid I would not be able to decorate. It all came through though. I am believing for a Christmas miracle for you and your family. Luke, I appreciate your old truck. Alex and Arianna, you guys are doing great in an economy that is not kind to anyone let alone young people just starting out. Suggestion to help Jamie's situation. Buy some hanging racks that have shelves at the bottom so she can stay organized. I would say wardrobes but that might get a bit pricey. Love you guys and may things completely turn around for you.

“ Teamwork” makes Dreamwork! Welcome Home Alex. Wishing you all a Blessed Holiday. Crystal I’m sorry you were feeling stressed, but keep in mind that bumps in the road will never change your heart and who you are. The walls in the home are just walls. It’s the Roof that holds everything together. Love you all and wish everyone the best of everything. ❤

Teamwork - yes your family pulls together in such a beautiful way. So love that you support your children at all times. Alex you made the best decision and remember you are an amazing person.

Chrystal, thanks for your comments at the end about trying to understand people as they might be going throughnsome things. I am going through some stuff and I found the words very comforting. I love following your family through your vlog. Thank you.

Hang in there crystal. I struggle with chronic pain everyday but it cheer me up when I watch crazypieces blog. I’m thankful that my church is praying for me. I like to hide that I have a disability like Jamie because I feel like the church won’t like me.

You guys are the best! Welcome home Alex. Hugs to all of you. "Teamwork"!!

There are times where I feel I have tried so hard to teach my children lessons but that I have failed. Yesterday while I was working all I could think about was the things I needed to do when I got home. The day before my 14 yr old son dislocated his knee again pretty bad and there was a lot happening. We had my 12 yr old son’s primary school graduation and presentation day. I had clients coming to the house the next day and I just had a lot to fit in, in a short time frame. My oldest son is here visiting for the holidays and he got my other boys to work to help take the stress off me. He and my 12 yr old did the kitchen and laundry and tidied the house while my 14 yr old son folded clothes. I’ve always tried to teach my boys that teamwork helps to make things move quicker. I walked in the door and shed a tear because everything was done and I didn’t need to think about it. I knew that the lessons I have been teaching them were working. Just sometimes it’s hard to see on a daily basis when life is so busy but I am thankful for my boys seeing I needed the help and just did it. Team work makes the dream work!

Teamwork is so important for children to grow up and learn vital skills for life!! I love how warming you are for your children if they want to move home!!!

I'm proud of all the kids. They are doing such a great job. You guys do amazing teaching lessons and explaining. Thank you

"TEAMWORK" wow you sure did have a lot on your plate today, so glad everything worked out ok, and you got it all done, Thank God you had all that extra help too, many hands make light work.

I see a lot of judgement in these comments. I think Alex needs this rn, he was struggling and heartbroken for a while, he might just need family rn. Rents expensive, life is hard and he’s doing what he needs to so he can be on his own again. Crystal and Aaron probably can use the help with the younger kiddos too. He still is working so I don’t see an issue he’s only 21. He’s trying and that’s all that matters.

Yeah I know the feeling about others telling you what to do feels like. It’s happening to me now it can be draining at times.

The edits always get me 😂😂😂 so funny (the speeding car , the car flipped over )

This is a culture shock to me since in my home country, there is no such thing as moving out until you are about to get married and start a family since we are very family oriented so I don't quite understand the situation but I don't mean any harm okay. Almost everyone here in my country still living at their parents house after college and start working especially if you are the only child since we are always afraid that something might happen and we need to get home as soon as possible. But don't think that everyone here are burden to their family since after graduating and getting a job, we also give our share to the bills and paid for the family groceries etc. But I love the teamwork and helping Alex to move his things back in

So glad you had all the TEAMWORK that you needed to get through the day!

yes 100% follow you're dreams whatever they maybe. Whether it is now or something that you need to build from the ground up. There will be road blocks along the way, but that is life. We handle them in the best way as possible, we make mistakes, we make more mistakes, but we learn from them. It is the best lesson's we could possible have in life. i am a firm believer that whatever comes my way i can deal with, due to having such a difficult up bringing, i have the tool to deal with it or needing to take a step back to evaluate

People will all have their opinions. At the end of it. This is your family, and you all do you all. It's awesome that you share your family with us. Love love you all. Merry Christmas and God Bless you all.

"TEAMWORK" makes the dream work! Family is everything!

Yes! Do what’s best for you!!! It’s your life living it how you want live it!!!

TEAMWORK makes the DreamWork and many hands make the load lighter kindness and love make the blessings so much sweeter

I love how close Grandma and aunt Bonnie are ik they are sisters but i love that they are really clsoe ❤and have a great bond together

I've felt for Alex since his romance broke up he seemed lost and lonely to me . I'm glad he's moving back home. Nothing wrong with that at all no matter what age you are. He's very lucky to have such supportive parents and siblings. Time to take a breather Alex and build yourself back up again 💪❤️

Teamwork- it’s really cool how u guys were able to put everything together it look good! And I’m sorry for the leak stuff I hope everything go good!! Love ur guys videos me and my husband look forward to ur videos we watch them every time u guys post!!!
