I’d wait until the 6 month mark from when you ordered. The reason being that all car dealerships are dealing with major delays. Parts shortages, labor shortages, etc. Maybe do research on something else now so you can pull the lever on that ASAP if at the 6 month mark your vehicle isn’t ready.
You can see the love you have for your children! I remember you sitting on the floor so upset after Brynn and look at you now! God is so good! You guys are awesome!
Definitely keep the vehicle that can carry all the kids! I absolutely LOVE the Carnival! The only thing holding me back from getting it, is the very narrow gap between the two seats in the middle row and not as much storage space as I had hoped for all my kids stuff lol
Emma's conversation...😍 So cute! I work in the dealership world and everything has been taking so long. Once you get a build date it should be pretty fast though! I would wait if you can. 😊
My new Jeep took 2 months from the day I sent in my Custom Build order until she got here. My brother is in the dealership world also. I ordered her May 6th and she got here on July 8. I was shocked at how quickly she got here.
Mama here of one but my car is always the driver because i have a lot of my family because the other cars don’t seat the car seat well and everyone else. So i would definitely keep the expedition so you don’t constantly put miles on your new car also to give you sense of security so if the van is in the shop or something you have a back up!
Definitely wait and see a bit longer, however, if you need one sooner, definitely look into the Honda Odyssey with the Magic Slide seats. Magic slide is an absolute game changer! You can buckle the kids in the back easily because they slide side to side with ouch having to unbuckle any car seats. Highly highly recommend. And Honda is a work horse brand.
Hi Rachelle, I would wait until January and give it the 4 months for the van you never know what might haappen. Can I just say the family are all looking great can't believe how big Faye has become and the twins Asher and Reuben are so cute and I love listening to Emma talk with her sweet little voice so beautiful. You and Justin have a beautiful little family. I just seen Pepper is has really grown aswell he not a puppy any more. Hope Mister doing ok did'nt see him in this video.💛💚💙💜 You and Justin as a beautiful little family.Take care and God Bless. ❤🧡
I hope Emma isn't getting sick either. Bless your heart. When the sickness hits your house, it hits hard. Emma is growing so fast. It seems like yesterday that she was the size of Faye.
Don’t give up! We pick up our Kia carnival next week and I’m sooo keen! We have 4 kids in child car seats to 🙈 it’s going to be so worth the long wait. (For us the wait was due to other reasons as we are getting one second hand) but eeeep! Stick it out haha
I would either start the search for the Kia van at a dealership. Or wait til yours comes in because the Kia is 100% worth it!! I would never get another van nor another suv til my youngest is 10+. I won’t!! I was die hard suv til I had the 3rd and it was a pain in the butt. Decided to try the Kia and Omg!!! Best thing ever. I bought it same day and have not looked back even one time. In fact I now look at people with an suv with 3+ kids and I feel bad for them that they miss out on how easy the Kia has made life. To remove any seat I want…freaking game changer. I mean maybe start looking like even out of state. Fly out and get it and drive back. Worth it!! And financially speaking getting rid of the expedition is the best choice. My husband has a car and I have the van. That convenience is not worth it money wise. And the Toyota and Honda are not rated as well as the Kia on car and best!! Get the Kia. Don’t settle because you will end up hating it
Need 2 vehicles that can fit the family for emergencies Either parent can jump in and go! I did Daycare & preschool and too many times to count that parents wished they had 2 vehicles to fit whole family
Before you cancel which I believe you can at any point if you want order a different brand and see what comes first. I've been waiting almost 9 months and was told it would arrive between 6-7 months still no ETA I was told my $500 deposit is fully refundable up until I sign.
I would 💯% keep the vehicle that can hold everyone, because you never know when the other parent will have to pick up, or Gawd forbid the new car has problems. Also, I’ve always bought brand new cars, but I’m actually to a point where I’m looking for a gently used car now, because the wait is ridiculous! My parents and my friend both bought factory cars recently, and both waited OVER a year! They do upgrade you to the newer year model for the wait, but forget it. Fingers crossed for yours!!🤞
We just got our 2023 Honda Odyssey and it’s AMAZING😍 has literally everything we need and the whole second row comes out individually as well. That was one of the main reasons we got it!
I would definitely keep the car that can transport all 4 kiddos. As far as looking into another van, I say try to hold out for what you ordered. I think you will be happier and it will be worth the wait in the long run. 😊
Have you checked into the GMC Yukon XL? Our daughter just traded in her BMW SUV for this one since they have 6 months old twins and are trying for one more and have three dogs! They researched a lot of SUV’s and Vans and found that this has the most space if you have small children in car seats and dogs to transport!
To manifest your car, at night when you go to bed see the car in your driveway. This is the really important part, act and feel like it's already there. Happy, stress free to take the kids out. It's there waiting for you. Your mind only knows what you tell it. So positive internal and external dialog. Sounds weird? Who cares, what if it works? Anyways I am working on manifesting my new car. When I started to have doubts, should I buy my lease or buy new, I gave it up to the Universe. Said I'm done worrying about it, it will be what it is. I got a call yesterday, it is in the lot 2 weeks earlier than they told me. I'm thinking pink floor mats will look cute in it. Can't wait to see yours!
Which ever car you get your going to get delays , the delays are global, I was supposed to wait 4 months for my new car but I’ve been waiting nearly a year now and still have no build date 🇬🇧🇬🇧
I would go with Toyota or Honda van. My son manages a Firestone and he said they are having problems getting parts for Kia and Hyundais. A simple oil filter takes them about a week to get it in. He said they are good vehicles just takes a while to get parts.
Check out the Honda odyssey I had one and loved it you can do the two captain chairs in middle then have space between them to get to the 3 seats in back row 🙂
I miss my Honda Odyssey. I had it for 17 years and it moved my kids to and from college and apartments. Getting ready to move my daughter to a short term apartment and my CR-V doesn't have nearly as much room. Those removeable/moveable captain's seats were awesome!
How can Faye be 5 month's old, she is a sweet baby girl. Emma, Rubin, and Asher are also growing like healthy beautiful loved little ones. Season's Blessing's🎅🎄
Whatever you decide DONT TRADE with the dealership!!! They won’t give nearly as much as you can get for it. Sell with to car max! The process can be done on just one day and it’s super easy. I did it in feb. the dealer was offering 1500 for my car at the time and I sold it to car max for 9 thousand instead.
Have you considered the Chrysler Pacifica? It has stow and go seats and they come with almost all the same options as the Carnival. My daughter ordered a Kia Sorento in March hoping to have it in time for her baby that cam Nov7, she found out Nov 15 (5days before promised delivery) that it may not be for another 4-6 months. Needless to say she bought a Mazda 5, I however drive the Pacifica and I love it. Just some food for thought.
I would recommend trading in the older vehicle because if the 2nd vehicle needs maintenance, you would not have a functional car for the family. Just wait for what you want, you will not have any regrets. Good luck.
The thing is you can cancel this car and run into the same problem being on a waiting list again. You just can’t go get anything anymore and have it without waitung. My sister just got her new recliner for Mother’s Day that was ordered before mothers day.
I totally get the car situation. I ordered mine back in November 2021, car was fully done being made in March 2022, and I didn’t get mine until August 2022. Nothing against the dealership, but at the time there was a trucking issue with getting drivers to deliver it where I live.
We’ve been waiting since august for a Mazda and we still have no idea when we’ll get the car 😢 but since we’re not in a hurry, we just have that in “the back”. Whatever car you decide, is going to take a while. Unless you buy used!
I ordered my Kia K5 in October 2021 was told it would be a month or 2 did receive the car until Msrch 2022. I was ready to give up but could not find the car I wanted anywhere and didn't want to buy something I felt I'd be settling for. I'd keep the order you have now and keep looking at vans you may find something you like better or the same and then decide.
When I ordered a Toyota I only had to wait about 3 weeks and it hadn't even been built yet. Toyotas are built in the US so it's a lot quicker than waiting for Kia which comes from Korea.
I would trade in Justin's vehicle because that way it's something happened to the band you would have the expedition as backup but that's just my opinion.
I say wait! We have a carnival and it’s the best vehicle I’ve ever owned, we waited in 2021 for 9 months until we got ours. Not saying you will wait that long but it was definitely worth the wait. We had an old suv that was a pain to get everyone in and out (3 kiddos under 4 at the time). But I love our carnival and I’m so glad we waited for it! I was also thinking of getting a Toyota.
I know it’s hard but I would try to wait. When making such a big purchase you want to get all the things you want in the vehicle (if that makes sense) it could potentially be the car you have for many many years to come. Good things come to those who wait 😊
My kids don’t like the skin. But who am I kidding, I don’t either. I would keep waiting for the car you want. I’ve heard people waiting for 6months or more all over the states anyway.
We only have 1 kid but are considered a mini van for our next car due to people riding with us occasionally and also the sliding doors would be so nice because our garage is tight. I want a carnival but my husband wants a Pacifica.
Could you get a used carnival? I see one Carmax has on the website in California - a 2022 with 22k miles! Not sure what your budget was but it’s $42,000. Just an idea!
Get a Honda Odyssey. Hondas are the best. And there is nothing wrong with getting a used one, so you don't have to wait so long. And keep the car that can hold everyone.
Who ever doesn’t like the apple it’s probably a texture issue I’m in my late 20s and I still have texture issues with certain foods if I have food that’s supposed to be smooth but has chunks I can’t bite through it’s not going in my mouth because it will come back out
Honestly.. I'm gonna be an odd one out here, but don't trade in your paid-for CRV. I would keep all 3 or trade the Expedition in and buy a used, cheaper vehicle that can hold everyone and privately sell the CRV if you want. Private sale will bring more.. otherwise you're giving the dealership the profit you could make on it. The CRV would be a good running around vehicle for work and errands!
I have to peel my oldest sons apples or he does the same thing or he eats it like a watermelon slice. My youngest son just eats everything peel and all, he would eat the core if I let him 😂
Keep the car that can transport everyone. You never know if something happens to the van.
that's what I'm thinking!
Oh boy..I’m exhausted just watching your morning. I can recall those days. Just remember “ the days are long, but the years fly bye “
Awww OMG Emma about her tummy and maybe it was the cookie "we sholdn't do that again" awww! She's so grown up!
Honda is soo reliable plus I wouldn’t want to wait 6 months. I would get an Odyssey. All the seats in the second row move individually.
Rachelle you always appear to have so much energy. Your such a wonderful Mom.
I’d wait until the 6 month mark from when you ordered. The reason being that all car dealerships are dealing with major delays. Parts shortages, labor shortages, etc.
Maybe do research on something else now so you can pull the lever on that ASAP if at the 6 month mark your vehicle isn’t ready.
You can see the love you have for your children! I remember you sitting on the floor so upset after Brynn and look at you now! God is so good! You guys are awesome!
he is so so good!!!
Amen ❤
Definitely keep the vehicle that can carry all the kids! I absolutely LOVE the Carnival! The only thing holding me back from getting it, is the very narrow gap between the two seats in the middle row and not as much storage space as I had hoped for all my kids stuff lol
Emma's conversation...😍 So cute!

My new Jeep took 2 months from the day I sent in my Custom Build order until she got here. My brother is in the dealership world also. I ordered her May 6th and she got here on July 8. I was shocked at how quickly she got here.
I am loving some of the moments without music overlapping.
Happy 5 months (yesterday) to baby girl Faye. Time is flying.
Lol I hate mushrooms as well! 😆 so i totally understand where Justin's coming from . Hugs from our family to yours 💙
Mama here of one but my car is always the driver because i have a lot of my family because the other cars don’t seat the car seat well and everyone else.

You can buckle the kids in the back easily because they slide side to side with ouch having to unbuckle any car seats. Highly highly recommend. And Honda is a work horse brand.
I would honestly wait til the 4 month period and then you guys can make your decision.
I think you should keep the “UGH” at the beginning of the intro.
I love how Faye watches your hands move!
I would wait for the car you want…
Dont give up. We ordered our Explorer October 23, 2019 and due to holidays we didn't get ours till January 24, 2020. So yes it did take a while.
Don’t Settle!
Stick it out…..
You deserve exactly what you want.
❤❤❤❤❤❤

Miss seeing you guys more often. But i can understand how it hectic it can get with for kids under 4 and doing it on your own.

My husband ordered a Ford F250 on December 2021 and it was ready until the end of July 2022. I think this is the new normal.
Wait 4 the car! It will come!!! I think Faye gonna be a blond!!

HIGHLY recommend the Honda Odyssey! Has everything you’re looking for!
We love our Toyota Sienna! Waited TEN WHOLE MONTHS for it to come in after ordering 🙃 I feel your pain!!
I would go with Toyota or Honda van. My son manages a Firestone and he said they are having problems getting parts for Kia and Hyundais. A simple oil filter takes them about a week to get it in. He said they are good vehicles just takes a while to get parts.
Hold out for the carnival! We've had ours for 6 years (with 4 kids) and it is so good!

Don’t give up you will get what you were looking for!
How can Faye be 5 month's old, she is a sweet baby girl. Emma, Rubin, and Asher are also growing like healthy beautiful loved little ones.
Season's Blessing's🎅🎄
You are such a great Mom. Wait and get what you want. Look at safety features on the other cars.
Faye looks so much like you❤️
I have a Chrysler Pacifica minivan and it is the best thing with my kids

I love this chill vlog ❤
I would def still get a van whatever you do :)
We ordered a Ford Bronco in 2020, we just got it in April of this year. There are so many production issues with cars right now.
Highly recommend looking at the Odyssey. It’s the most car seat friendly van!
why do u turn your lights off
We pre ordered a Kia carnival September 2021. We are STILL waiting
Rachelle, you just have the cutest, little squishy faced, bald babies!😘
Wow Faye is the absolute double of Emma ❤
The thing is you can cancel this car and run into the same problem being on a waiting list again. You just can’t go get anything anymore and have it without waitung. My sister just got her new recliner for Mother’s Day that was ordered before mothers day.

When I ordered a Toyota I only had to wait about 3 weeks and it hadn't even been built yet. Toyotas are built in the US so it's a lot quicker than waiting for Kia which comes from Korea.
So early!!! ❤ I love all of the content this family makes 🥺
I ordered a Ford Maverick Jan 9, 2022 and finally got it Nov 22, 2022. Be patient
I would definitely wait - there's a global car shortage hense the price of second hand - it will pay off being patient 🥰🤗🎄
Yes my 2 year old spits the peel out too lol.
I would trade in Justin's vehicle because that way it's something happened to the band you would have the expedition as backup but that's just my opinion.
Kids so cute

I would keep waiting for the car you want. I’ve heard people waiting for 6months or more all over the states anyway.
Hold out for the kia! They are amazing cars and so worth the wait
You can put one of the middle captains seats down in a Dodge Caravan for a landing. I have one.
I'm with Justin, I really don't like mushrooms either
Y, I haven’t even seen one out and about in our area yet. It’s surprising because Kia is the main NEW car brand I see EVERYWHERE.
Honda, Honda, Honda🤠❤️
Oh my gosh pepper is getting so big.
We only have 1 kid but are considered a mini van for our next car due to people riding with us occasionally and also the sliding doors would be so nice because our garage is tight. I want a carnival but my husband wants a Pacifica.
What about the honda oddessey? Absolutely love mine!
I enjoyed the vlog! I honestly would just try my best to wait it out on the car situation.
Could you get a used carnival? I see one Carmax has on the website in California - a 2022 with 22k miles! Not sure what your budget was but it’s $42,000. Just an idea!
I really hope you all are having a fun and sweet happy holiday season please I hope Emma gets well soon . ❤ 🎄 ⚘🌹🌻🌺
You have more patience than i do i would have given up a long time ago. I guess wait until you are tired of waiting and then look for something else
What brand are washer & dryer? & refrigerator?
Get a Honda Odyssey. Hondas are the best. And there is nothing wrong with getting a used one, so you don't have to wait so long. And keep the car that can hold everyone.
I ordered a car last January and it's just now showing to be arriving on Christmas Day at the dealership. It is also a Korean made car and a hybrid.
What tattoo are you adding for Faye
Faye is Justin's twin
Who ever doesn’t like the apple it’s probably a texture issue I’m in my late 20s and I still have texture issues with certain foods if I have food that’s supposed to be smooth but has chunks I can’t bite through it’s not going in my mouth because it will come back out
I will wait for the car because it will suit you in the long run. And it is not certain that another car will
Keep both cars that everyone can fit in!
My husband ordered a '22 f350 in January. We just picked it up in November.....
Christmas intro soon hopefully it’s always great
Enjoyed the video
Honestly.. I'm gonna be an odd one out here, but don't trade in your paid-for CRV. I would keep all 3 or trade the Expedition in and buy a used, cheaper vehicle that can hold everyone and privately sell the CRV if you want. Private sale will bring more.. otherwise you're giving the dealership the profit you could make on it. The CRV would be a good running around vehicle for work and errands!
My new electric car in the uk was ordered in March now December and still haven’t got a clue when I will get it xx
I have to peel my oldest sons apples or he does the same thing or he eats it like a watermelon slice. My youngest son just eats everything peel and all, he would eat the core if I let him 😂
Y’all should get a Honda odessy!!!
