Bless you for hanging out with your military wife friend...deployment is terrible and every small act of kindness from anyone during that time means the world!
I seriously love this family more and more every vlog! Nothing is staged at all and just seems so real unlike some RU-vidrs. But Bonnie please have just one more baby! Lol. Your kiddos are so adorable 💜
And I personally tip almost everyone 😂 before I became a SAHM...or wife till our sons actually born lolol, I worked as a waitress. And where I worked we often would have to stop and take people's orders to go during the middle of a dinner rush. I always appreciated the tip, especially from people who would want to sit and have a drink while they waited. So I do tip to go order people ☺️
I watch RU-vidrs more than I watch TV! It's more entertaining than a scripted show! As far as tipping, I worked as a host and for to go orders the host would talk the order, but the runners would bring them down most of the time, unless it was really busy. I loved the generous tips, but understood when people didn't tip! Really up to the person, in my opinion!!
BeautyBliss101 Me too! There's some stuff on tv, like sporting events, that I watch. But I'm finding that I'm watching RU-vid more. Where else can you find Bonnie and Joel?
I laughed so hard when you told Joel the camera was too close. I tell my husband this all. the. time! Those tree lights were so magical!! That footage of the kids playing was adorable! Lincoln on the board game is like my cats when we try and put together a puzzle! hahaha
Girl I don't know what it is but when you talk to your kids I hear your mom in your voice so much! You sound just like her! And I love it. It's so sweet!
omg I could watch the part when Lincoln kept interrupting their game a 1000000000 times 😍😍😍😍 I laughed sooo hard it was sooo cute with Boston and Cody trying to keep him occupied 😂😂😂😂 oh Bonnie you are soooo blessed, having the CUTEST kids on the PLANET 💕💕💖💖
I would rather watch RU-vidrs and RU-vid in general than I would TV I don't think I have watched TV in nearly 2 years thanks to RU-vid.....and love all the people I watch on RU-vid too xxx
Bonnie, I can feel the love you have for your sweet babies thru the video. When you were taking a min focused on each one, so sweet, only Mommas can appreciate that. The patience the older ones show with sweet Lil Lincoln is fantastic. I know we beat ourselves up as parents thinking we should be more patient, but it shows in your kids that they have great examples. keep up the good work. Xoxo from Alabama
I love your family! And I love watching you guys❤️❤️❤️ especially now that Joel is in them more because it completes the family vibes of it. Before he wasn't in them as much!! Love, love, love!!!
Your three older kids are so amazing with Lincoln. Instead of getting angry at him for disrupting their game, they each divert him. That takes a ton of maturity and patience. You've definitely instilled a lot of amazing values into your children and it really is paying off. They are the sweetest most polite children. Good work Bonnie and Joel, your hard work really does pay off.
Bonnie! you look gorgeous in the Saturday clips! there's something about your hair and choker that makes you look 10 years younger (I know you're not that old anyway) and so cool! and the lights that Joel did are so cute!
Same here I think sometimes girls with really long hair look different, my daughter looks more like her dad when I braid her hair like Olivias I think it is because you can see the shape of their heads.
Growing up I had a little cousin who kept his forehead bruised all the time! My Dad got such a laugh one time when we were playing outside, Chuckie lost his temper and banged his head on the sidewalk. Needless to say, he was very surprised that concert was that hard. Your kids are precious, I love to watch them interact with each other.
What made me so happy was that the other kids weren't getting mad at Lincoln! I grew up with 3 boys as well and I know we'd all fight in a situation like that!!
Bonnie, your videos brighten my day. I love how goofy you can be and I end up sitting in my living room cracking up. I wish you were coming to Vloggerfair! And yes it's true I'd rather watch RU-vid over TV.
Harry Potter made my childhood better, I was 7 when the first movie came out! It's great for the imagination. ❤️ I still love everything about Harry Potter to this day! (I'm 22 now.)
ooohh Bonnie the lights are so nice and all the nice thoughtful things Joel does for his family, very sweet! Is he for rent lol watching these vids make me smile💖
I would love to meet you one day and make your day like that!! it's 100% noticeable how genuine and happy that made you! :) love you and your fam bonnie!
Love the lighted trees. You want to come to Michigan and do mine. I love having them done but hate doing them. My husband doesn't like decorating so I have to do it if we want it done. Sometimes he surprises me and helps.
OMG Bonnie I have watched this video sooooo many times!!! I loved meeting you there at Olive Garden on this fun day. I was there in town meeting a friend before I had a (planned) life changing event!
I used to work as a host/cashier and then did only Cashier, both positions do A LOT of work, seating people looks easy until you actually do it. Not only do you have to memorize table numbers, You have to update which tables are open, clean, make sure you don't take someone to a dirty table, the servers usually yell at you not to sit them even when they're next in rotation, people get mad at you if there's a wait because sometimes you see open tables and you ask "why am I waiting?" Which could be for a number of different reasons (i.e. That server for that table might be really busy and stressed out, the kitchen might be backed up so the manager tells you to put people on a wait, etc.) and when I was a cashier I not only took the orders but had to go in the back and put the food together in boxes and bags and label everything all while my Togo phone was ringing and people were waiting. I tip Togo people and hostesses EVERYTIME because when people would tip me it would make my night and feel like someone understood that I had a lot to do I wasn't just standing there answering the phone.
I love you and your family!! your vlogs are my most favorite to watch! it doesn't event matter that the day was uneventful, sometimes those are my fav. I love when the big kids were trying to keep Lincoln off the board, I laughed so hard!
I work as a hostess at a red lobster, and tips are seen as very generous and appreciated. oftentimes people overlook the amount of work it takes to put a to-go order together. the food has to be ready and boxed, the sides have to be put together and boxed, everything has to be bagged, and while this may not seem like much work it can be very stressful when there are 10+ people scrambling around as well. carry-out workers put in around the same amount of effort as a server would. anyway, sorry for rambling! I really enjoyed the vid :-)
I only watch YT I don't ever watch TV you are my absolute favorite vlogger!!! I love your family. If you ever come to Colorado I open my home to you and will show you the sites! Loved watching Lincoln try to play b-ball and Sorry lol. Also Joel - those lights are ah-mazing!!!
Bonnie, I used to be a tv junkies, from a young age. But now, I watch RU-vid way more:) I think tv has become mean. They lie all the time on the sitcoms and I just can't enjoy that kind of humor. There is so much about killing and other negative behaviors being glorified. I watch all your siblings and several other RU-vids, because I love the positive experience. The people I watch are real and they want to spread love. I want to feel good after watching something, so that why I gave up most tv shows. Why do you think you watch it less, Bonnie?
Bonnie Hoellein your welcome. I love that you responded! It makes my heart so full! I love you so much and it just seems so fake but you guys are real people and I wish I could meet you guys one dsy
My 5 year old was Harry Potter for Halloween - we love those books/movies! The kids have only seen the first two though because they get a little darker after that (they're only 5 & 2 haha). ⚡️
No I don't tip. I don't get to go orders but if I order a pizza & I pick it up I don't tip because I am spending my time to pick it up & no one is waiting on me. I loved the lights! How sweet! I got teary eyed too! ❤️. Love you guys!
I love your channel!! You guys are the sweetest family and the cutest couple! For some reason I feel like your vlogs are different from others and I really love it! ❤️❤️❤️
RU-vid's seem to be all in Utah, I know that not true but it just seems like there's a lot more over there! I've never been to Utah but I have been to Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado! Its beautiful out there but I still love / hate my Florida State! 😍😣🌴💕💜🌞 because of the heat and humidity in the summer and my puff hair problems but love it when it's nice and comfy in the winter months.
Poor Lincoln being bullied by his siblings LOL Nobody wanted him around that board game :') Your kids are so polite and well behaved, Bonnie! Parent goals for sure!
Okay, I love your vlogs anyways but todays....wow. The part when you pull up the drive and Joel had put up the lights 😲 and with that music in the background. Awww😍 Your vlogs always put a smile on my face.
We don't have cable! My boyfriend and I literally only watch RU-vid and Netflix! Bonnie and Joel and Ellie and Jared, I literally watch you guys everyday with a coffee :) So fun! Love all your parenting styles! Can't wait to have kids! Want to try vlogging as well when I get pregnant and start having my babies! Xoxox
I totally watch YT over Tv every day! haha. I love it & my husband thinks its a little weird. I try to say that it's like watching the show FRIENDS, but this is real life! haha. :)
I wish I was going to a Harry Potter birthday party. I can recite parts of the book from memory. I've read all the books millions of times. I love the movies. Harry Potter is my world. 😂
