Please don't apologize for the video being all over the place. I feel so honored that you would share your family and what you're going through with everybody. The story about the trophy at the bottom of the dried up pond was truly heart felt, and not many celebrities in your position would ever share their heart like that... Thank you Granger and Amber for sharing your life with us, and putting your heart out there for everyone to see what awesome people you are
I love that you three brothers surprised your Mom a new vehicle for Christmas. That just shows she raised three amazing sons who are looking out for their Mom since their Dad is deceased. God Bless you Granger, Tyler, and Parker.
Lincoln is learning life lessons! Ask anybody that was raised in the country with animals, and they will tell you those were their best memories ever. I miss it so much! Lincoln is going to be your best helper! ❤
It's not like she's a complete stranger! It's his MOTHER! Of course she helped him in life she's his mom! It's not like it put a dent in their bank acct. Anything to get views.
I don’t know how to say this but Granger I never get tired of seeing your “raw thoughts”. I still say you are an old soul and I think that’s why I appreciate you most. So sorry about the ponds. Once you are touring again and can afford a proper base, it will be great again. So many wonderful memories on that dock and the Rock wall. The Smith’s just keep being you...your real fans will watch everything you post all over the place or not. The highlight of my week is all your content between all the channels. Barack O’Lama seems to be warming up. Still the best name EVER!!!
Yes, What a Wonderful thing. At first when I saw it. It looked like a truck. I said "Ooooh, I want that!" I thought it was a Chevy Silverado. And about the trophy..... Vegas is Bogus! How insensitive.... Wishing all the Smiths a Blessed New Year!!! 💝🌈🎆❤
Please don’t apologize for the videos being “all over the place”! It’s your life! And we thank you for sharing it with us! Really appreciate the story behind the trophy. I understand.
Yayyyy! So glad sweet Riv will ALWAYS be in the intro 😇🥰🤪 Great that you got a trophy for the river fund but I would have done the same. Maybe God brought it back with the pond drought to show how much you've grown and to remind you to keep pushing forward with ALL the good you and Amber are doing with the RKF. Lots of love Smith's! Granger..... lose the crocs and find your boots hahaha
❤ London's voice is changing, she's sounding like Amber, when she says "What are ya'll doin?" Amber, get some CROCS trust me!! They're awesome and they make fuzzy lined ones for winter. I love them!! Make some YEE YEE ones 🤪 Yes, ALWAYS keep Riv in the intro🎈 I'm sad you're re-making the intro but I get it. I always remember that London's neck was hurt... I kinda smile each time at her little kinked neck ❤
I have wanted to say this for months and months, so now that yall are changing the intro, I just wanted y'all to know the part with all of you at the end when everyone walks away from Amber and River I close my eyes and I see River running in a field of tall grass with the sweetest smile on his face. I hope this doesn't upset any of you but this is what I see everytime I watch the intro and it feels my heart with peace. I may sound crazy, but I wanted y'all to know.
No Sabrina it’s not crazy I feel the same. That Riv has changed my life really.... and I’m 54. I get so emotional where he’s concerned. Sadness, crying, joy you name it. Let’s just Live Like Riv. Thanks for your honesty.
Damn that part with the trophy was really deep Granger. I could definitely see the pain on your face. Your family is so amazing and you are doing so much good for other people. Love your channel and your podcast so much. Keep spreading the good word brother.
I loved your part about the “trophy”. It made so much sense to me and my family. We love watching your show and have a little boy who is only a few weeks older than River. You guys are an inspiration and we love watching you and your journey!!
Incredible sons that clearly love their mother! Just precious!!! Crawfish. You brought tears to my eyes talking about the trophy. I totally get it because I have walked in your shoes. Love you guys so much!
Granger, The passion you have when talking about the trophy in the pond is one of the reasons I'm a fan. I totally understand why you did that and I could imagine how looking at that every day could make you feel. You're amazing and I think finding that at the bottom of the pond was a small reminder of everything that's happened but also all the amazing things you and the family have done to honor Riv and keep his memory alive. Maybe leave it there for when the pond fills back up again?
My daughter is a missionary in Lebanon right now..She is home because of Covid .. but, I told her about your channel and had her listen to you .. She said she has been all over the world. But, it never ceases to amazes her what The Lord can help us through..
G, thanks for sharing that with us. I've been there too. When everything feels dried up and gone, we have hope God is good my friend . Luv u guys. yee yee
I teared up at the beginning with Granger’s mom getting her new car, again in the middle hearing about Riv and again at the end seeing his little stocking!! 😢 But lots of laughs throughout from Lincoln and London too! Happy almost new year!
I swear you guys keep impressing me over and over again with your love, kindness, thoughtfulness, willingness to share and authenticity. I feel like I need to be a better person after I watch every time.
Y’all giving your mom a new car... priceless.❤️ Pretty much crawfish... As always, enjoyed the video. So glad the dogs loved their toys. Sorry I didn’t realize they were so loud🤷🏻♀️😂❤️🙏 Looking forward to Fort Worth. Thanks for the shout out❤️🙏✝️🇺🇸
We say crawdads and we had a pond that would not hold water, then we got some cows and the cows packed it down to the point that it holds water fine now. Some cows in there might help.That was so awesome and kind giving your mom a car.
Faith is the only way to get through the good time’s and the bad. And I know you know that but y’all are stronger then you think and with the lord you will never be defeated. Thank you for the content
To address the pond issue...get you some pigs, fence them in around the pond. The pigs will seal the pond. You can actually do it with pigs or ducks. Cheap solution to the pond sealing issue. Have a wonderful new year.
Crawdad! I have loved watching Lincoln coming into his own! Thank you for sharing about the trophy... that was such a private moment so truly thank you for letting us in. I’m not a Croc lover and Granger in crocs is unsettling! 😂
I cant imagine what you guys have through. And as far as the trophy... remember it's ok to not be ok.. keep you guys in my prayers every night. And crocs are the most comfortable shoes ever!
My dad is originally from Louisiana so I learned to call them just plain mudbugs🦞 or crawfish (Kraw-fish) works too. #YeeYeeNation 💪🏼🇺🇸 #LiveLikeRiv ❤️🦋🎈
So sweet! My Mom blessed .e with me with new used car! I feel so very blessed! I lost my Hyundai Sonta by terrible mistake I made two hers ago. Was driving a 2001 van with a lot of problems and barley no heat. I daily beat down myself for the mistake I .are to lose the other car. God anatomy prayers, I am truly blessed by God and love my new car!
My wife and I have fallen in love with you guys. You are an inspiration you are amazing people and of course you guys live in our home state of Texas...lol. May God continue to comfort your family and bless your every venture. God Family and Country. Love Y'all yee yee....❤🇺🇸🤙🏻
I completely understood it when you said you tossed the trophy they gave you for River foundation. Even though I haven’t had the grace to be a father, but the company my dad used to work for gave us a medal plank after my dad died on the road while driving his big rig. We don’t know where it is or if we still have it because it’s a reminder of a sad moment in our life. We rather have pictures of him were he is smiling to remember him and the fun times we were blessed to spend
We lived in a 36 foot fifth wheel that I made some alterations to once we got it out to the property for almost 2 full years. It was always an adventure! I miss those days.
I enjoy that it is all over the place because that is life and more importantly it's your lives and memories. I love the candid moments. That's real! Don't feel like you have to apologise.
Now that was a wonderful way to start this episode...yay on the new car Grangers MA❣❣❣ ❤❤❤ crocs r the best have almost every color to match all my softball uniforms lol 😆
Loved the surprise for Granger’s mom!! So sweet! I wear crocs (the fuzzy - lined ones are great, and yes, I wear them with ankle socks.. LOL!!) “All over the place” is just fine with the videos. Don’t stress over what’s in it... just keep being real!!
Love watching Lincoln growing with you there to see it and guide him. I see my son taking on more adult projects as he grows into a man. We need a ranch!
Gosh that was so sweet of y'all to get your Mom a car for Christmas. I kind of like the videos that are all over the place. Enjoyed seeing the animals. Thanks!
Crayfish or mudbugs! 16:12 Makes you realize that you can't 'bury' your feelings or past, sharing your feelings is much more useful to you and others! I agree with you though, a trophy is kind of weird but I'm am sure it was heart felt from the giver! God Bless you and your family! and again Sorry for your loss!
That’s wonderful that the families got together for momma Smith. She’s such a humble beautiful lady. ❤️ Craw dads, yes we wear crocs for outside shoes. Just to throw on for something quick. Kinda like outside house shoes. 😂. They are comfortable. YEEYEE 🦋🎈
That was an awesome surprise for your Mom. Ya'll are good sons and daughter-in-law. Granger you give out of the goodness of your heart..your parents raised you right. I see the trophy as a reminder of the people you help and how grateful they are for your help. A little something they were able to give to you. Not a pat on the head for donating. Just a thought. Stay Safe and God Bless.
Never be sorry for living your life Granger were the lucky ones getting to see inside of your lives. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I agree I would be pissed off to get a throphy for a cause of a passed loved one . Your brother from another mother. John Alberta Canada.
River loved that pond and I understand the pain I believe you did the right thing especially because little river loved that pond much love respect and prayers
You all were raised well. Texas men are the best. Getting your momma a well deserved and much needed car. That says it all right there. There is no greater gift than to give. I loved seeing this video and it being “all over the place”. I’m SO SO glad to hear the new The Smiths intro will NOT exclude Riv...I personally had mentioned (in a comment of a previous video) how much I loved Riv rubbing Linc’s head and Riv’s sweet little wave. I know Riv will NEVER be left out. I’m looking forward to seeing the intro. I loved seeing the goats and you trying to befriend Barack the Llama. Lincoln is so strong, breaking down the fence and bending wire. Can’t believe the little guy is going to be 7! I honestly had been wondering about the ponds and how they were doing. You answered my question without me even having to mention it. I’m so so sorry for the “trophy”. I don’t think anyone could blame you for what you did to it. And it is ironic how life comes back at us like that - you never thought you’d see it again and a year and half later, the pond is dry and there’s the trophy. My heart really broke hearing you talk about that. Your organization looks great, but I was sad to see the little bunny. Anyways, GREAT video! I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and I wish you all the best, through Christ, in the New Year. Much love. Yee Yee.
Love how you guys got your mom a new vehicle she certainly deserved it. Bummer on the pond. You don't have to explain about the trophy. Probably would have done the same. No I don't wear crocs. I call the crawfish. Perfectly fine the way the video was it was perfect.
TJ from Missouri here, I have always called it Crawdad and heard it said that way all around ol Missouri .And the ponds Ya can only do so much with Granger, nature takin it's course, much Love yall. Yee Yee 👊🇺🇸
Just catching up on your past videos as they come up in my recommendations. Nice opening gifting mom with a new car. Crayfish in Michigan. 16 for 1 pound of meat on the average. God bless and stay safe 🙏❤
Crawdad’s and boo that stinks about the ponds!!! And I cried when your mom started crying! How sweet of y’all! Always praying for y’all, for God’s healing and comfort and strength!
No need to apologize for the scattered content of your video. That is real life. That's what we all go through. And that is probably why so many people like watching your channel. Happy New Year! Yee Yee!
I just want to say that being able to give is so important for others to see. Not only is it healing you it's showing others that you aren't selfish. The entire month of December has been so awesome for me. I know that I have brought joy and laughter and pure fun to people who really needed it. I may have looked silly in funny elf hats and reindeer antlers and jingle bells but I felt like my best self in more than a decade. You, Granger, and Amber have given your best selves throughout this year. Thank you for everything you all have done and given throughout this year. Know that you are loved by God and thousands of people. God bless you throughout the coming year. May it be even better.
i never was a croc guy either....but then my father passed last year... and he was always wearing his crocs to feed the chickens and ducks....i now wear his crocs everywhere and i love them....never thought i would but i do.....of course they are sentimental but actually they are very comfortable......once you try them i would bet you will love them....ps....love the channel!
Wonderful thing you did for your mom. Goals for me to do the same for my mom. Single mom that gave up everything for me and my sis. Love the crocs and I love how you manage to keep river in your videos. Stay strong brother. Much love from Georgia.
OMG y'all are so wonderful for giving your Mom a new vehicle 💓 Great little helpers you have 👏 Crawfish 🤣 I would love to see the pond full of water maybe there's grant money out there too help I would start with parks and wildlife department worth a try 👍
All over the place was fun. The trophy, I can't even imagine, thank you for sharing things that are really to deep for words. I thank God that when the two of you chose not to be crushed He spoke and you were not crushed, your children were not crushed, and the world watches in awe. I pray His spirit daily returns you to the Joy of His salvation. I pray people who are crushed watch your channel and receive a new heart. I hope people gain inspiration here to pray for the unseen trying to bear the unbearable, to see those around them quietly suffering and stand by them. Thank you for this channel.
God Bless Y’all! That was so sweet of y’all to take care of your precious Mother! I Love You for doing that! I have 2 sons, and they are my world. One is a Sheriff’s Deputy in AL. The other works for a private airline as a Flight Dispatcher Supervisor in FL. I live in CO right now because of my husband’s job, and I don’t get to see them but twice a year. Now that CoVid has ruined things I haven’t seen them in over a year. The youngest one that lives in Weston, FL has my two granddaughters. I am really missing my family so much it hurts my heart! My husband doesn’t like to fly, and he won’t travel right now because I have underlying health issues. My husband is very protective over me. I Thank God for him every day! 🙌🏻 I pray that this CoVid thing will end soon so I can go see my family! God knows how much I’m missing them!! Please Stay Safe out there, and take care of your beautiful family! God Bless You!! Yee Yee!! 💗💗
Crocs. Love and hate relationship. Used to LOVE them when I would come home from work..but now that I am retired HATE them because they hurt if I wear them too much 😵 Happy medium? I found arch inserts that fit in them and wear them only half the day👍 Can't believe you've been my "other" family for almost 2 YEARS!! Keep on keeping on Smith's❤️❤️
Love the positivity you instill in the kids... always lifting them up and letting them know how great they are! There's nothing better then getting praise from your parents 🤎 Thanks for being real...
Thanks for another year of sharing part of your family with us! I enjoy it all over the place, that was some great content....funny, sincerity and just awesome! Love y'all! Yee Yee 🇺🇲
Your mom's reaction was priceless, god bless! I got emotional watching the pond section of the video because you can just feel Granger's heart as he is talking about that. I believe down the road it will be a renewed pond that everyone can enjoy in their own way and even have spiritual moments with God. I love Amber's Olive furry hooded coat, it's so cute! Barack the Llama is so funny lol nice to see he is adapting to your guys visits! I would have wanted to get close to the cows as well, just like Amber did! Sorry this comment was all over the place just like the video lol! Love watching these! Yee Yee, god bless and Happy New Year!
“Craw did” 🤣🤣🤣. So sad we missed you in Cabool MO years ago but I have a “YEE YEE” huggie my bestie got me! Please come here to southern Missouri and take all the CLAY you want/need for your place! That’s all our garden is😂. Bless you and your family! Thanks for sharing your life with others! Very inspiring for you both to do!!! ❤️ Kristy in Missouri 😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. Also totally 🤣🤣🤣 when you introduced us to Barack Olama😂 made me lololol
Such a blessing ❤ You both are amazing and a great example for your children. Just remember, not every child thinks of their parents so Congrats momma Smith.
Congratulations on your mom's new ride. Brings back memories of when I lived on the farm. Crawdads here in Oregon. I'm not a croc fan, they hurt my feet
Another awesome time with the Smith. So happy being on this journey Amber and Granger got me through a hard time this year with health issues and covid and you are so my utube family love you Smith family into 2021 together with Jesus
