🎸 *Jared my man! You've gotz the skillz to pay the billz!* I totally agree about Sad songs making you happy... Its funny how that works. PS Lets start a band. We can call it *MECH-A-HAWK.* (just Imagine an announcer yelling it in a deep voice to a stadium of screaming fans...."And now, MECH-A-HAWK!") I don't know what kind of music we would play, but with a name like that, I would assume _Death Metal....._ ......Sooooooo.... ....We should probably pick a different name.
when my anxitey is high or I'm having a bad day. you can find me in the kitchen whipping something up. so my husband knows when there is an over load of baked goods or major cleaning he knows something is up
I'm not just saying this...I literally watch E+J vlogs to make myself feel better. I go back to the times when y'all were trying to get pregnant and when the kids were born and...just grin from ear to ear know how things have turned out for you. I really love you guys. It feels weird saying that to people who don't even know me..but I know you..and I love you.
I lost both my parents before turning 16..I love watching your vlogs because they are so wonderful. To me they definitely are bittersweet. Neither of my parents were as patient and understanding as you two, but I loved them just as much because I'm patient and understanding. Never stop doing what you're doing and loving your children how you love them. They'll appreciate both of you forever.
Andy Wyant I'm sorry for your loss and I think TH-cam is such a good thing because of the community in it and the effect it can have on so many people :)
Jared and Ellie whenever I'm in pain or feeling down...I just watch your videos. And, then I don't feel so bad any more. You guys are super positive and uplifting! True story!! I just love you and appreciate the fact that you are always happy and grateful and that you bring out your big smiles. Thank you so much for your zest for life and all of your efforts to make me happy!! You have a great gift and ability to influence a great many people by posting your super videos. Thank you so much!! Can't wait to see what the new year will bring...sincerely, all the best...Grandma Bailey
I even likev to watch reruns. I have several favorites. I love Ellie and Jared not only because of great vloging, but they're a sweet and kind couple! I really like them and each one of them grew up in wonderful families!
Watching you guys and diving into a Harry Potter book makes me feel better! Harry Potter brings me into another mindset and it makes me happy I can escape the real world and read about a world that I long to be apart of HA and you guys just make me happy in general :)
Jared, I am 20 years older than you I think but I'm glad that at your age you choose to like those old blues music that I myself also like . Really, it makes you feel better and relieved.
I'm 16 and I'm from Ireland . My teachers have been on strike for the past few days here and we've just been informed that we are back in tomorrow , which nobody was happy about! But hearing Calvin laughing while Ellie was playing with him really turned that around for me❤️️ it was just the cutest. I really love watching your videos!!
I went through a really tough time with my anxiety and depression. My mom and I would sit on the porch and listen to James Taylor - now his music calms me and it's also what played on my wedding day!
I am going through a hard time me and my little family so just cuddling my daughter and watching a movie and laughing at all the silly things she does it heals my heart. I try to be strong for her but i know she picks up on it and she will come up and give me a hug and a kiss. Its absolutely the best most wonderful thing in the world being a parent and it reassures me that everything will be okay. Also i was feeling down but then i watch your vlogs and you guys make me feel more uplifted and positive and i truly needed that today! Thankyou for being you!
Mari Portillo I'm a mom vlogging about my journey it would mean a lot if you could check my channel out its raisingbabyj also I hope you have an amazing day as well
Me too Jared. Something about music just fills me up and helps me know that someone else feels just like you and, for some reason, that helps me feel better.
The hardest struggles my husband and have and are still going through is infertility . After (6) IUIs and gearing up for our (4th) IVF cycle I am so thankful for my faith. Aside from leaning on God when I feel sad, I would say I lean on all the other good in our lives. There is so much we have to be thankful for. We are so blessed. I have a hard time being down so what I really think happens is I just give it over to God and move forward. I love to laugh and see the bright side more than having a heavy heart. I love music also and I agree, its the sad songs that seem to really ground me and get me into the self discovery feelings and emotions. Thanks for sharing your music with us!
When I'm having a hard time I sit down to crochet something for someone. Helps me forget about myself for a while and when I'm done I've done something productive! Nothing like accomplishing something when you're feeling down or struggling with life. :) Thanks for a fun and laughter filled video today!
Also, I have been a nanny for a while now and I work with kids day in and day out at my church, and can I say how much your well mannered kids would be a breath of fresh air, haha I wish we lived closer
Jared, this is absolutely crazy! I am going through a bout of depression that has really got me down. I was going to watch your vlog today and comment afterwards how much you guys cheer me up! At least there is a 15. minute part of my day that I will smile at. Thank you so much for putting your family on public display , for everyone to enjoy
I am a new watcher, I started watching a couple weeks ago and patiently wait for the new video everyday. I am enjoying it so much getting to watch y'all grow and have fun but it also gives great advice ! I wish y'all the best!
As soon as you said John Denver his song you light up my senses popped in my head. When I was a little girl we went on a family camping trip and I remember it playing while we were there. Most of my extended family that was there has passed. That thought made me cry. It was a really good memory though. I sing when I'm feeling down. It always makes me happy.
When I lost my brother in a car accident nothing but music could calm me, something's music make me sad because it reminds me of all my lost loved ones but at the same time it cheers me up. You can play a song in your mext blog for all the ones we love that did leave us to early. Love u guys'll
I like to scrapbook when I'm down, looking through old happy memories is so comforting :) I like to play the ukulele too, kind of like how you play the guitar. Adorable intro by the way!!! :)
When I feel down or blue, I think of the worst times of my life and realize it's not as bad as it used to be. In those worst days of my life I thought of how things could be worse and how unfortunately some people are doing worse off than me. So when all is said and done, don't forget where you came from and if you are going through something right now, it's only for a season. Be strong in the hard times, people might be watching your strength and perseverance and you may be all the inspiration they need to get out of what they are going through. If what you are going through is with you and others try your best not to crumble because it will be that much harder for them, so be strong for each other. God Bless you all 🙌
I seek people when I feel down. There are so many good qualities in people around me, and they are so supportive towards me when I do feel down. Just thinking about them make me feel better. If you open up to people its easier to go through something hard, and you get closer to that person and even yourself. But I got to say, that something that always make me feel better is watching you guys. Your uplifting spirits are a blessing for all of us watching you. Thank you for that. Hugs from Helle :-)
Ellie and Jared. Thank you for removing the sticky off my face. I need that done allot on your channel. Also, glad you love the music of my time. We had the best when I was young. Jared, you look a little tired. Slow down a little. No big rush for anything. Love you all.
When I'm going through a hard time i love watching you guys! Your happiness and beautiful kids spark my day with happiness and I'm so thankful for you!
Jared reminds me of my seminary teacher. Jared would be a really good seminary teacher because he is able to be really fun, is really good at sharing certain messages, very passionate, very loving and is just really good at getting to the point! :)
To get through hard times I talk abouf it with my Mum and best friend. Then I watch youtubers have such an amazing day. By the end of all of that there is a smile on my face.
Love your blogs every day! They cheer me up after a long old day in the office. I love playing my keyboard/piano to feel better good old worship music gets me feeling so good esp the really heart felt ones!
what makes me happy when I'm sad? usually doing something with daughter, today I came home from work after a stupid preggo hormonal break down, decided to watch TV to take my mind off of everything and YOUR vlog totally turn my mood around. you guys are such positive people I love it. thank you for salvaging my say for me 😉
Honestly the things to make me feel better are listening to people on youtube like you guys! YOu guys inspire me to be happy and you reassure me that I know I am going to be okay!
Lydia Rux they inspire me as well. they share tons of positive energy and i absolutely love that about them. I can watch their videos and totally be inspired to just be a better me. i love bonnie too!!
To make me feel better, I love to do whatever I can to feel the spirit. Church music, General Conference talks or something along those lines. Also snuggling my love helps me feel better too.
Love James Taylor too, Jared. I think it is not necessarily "sad" music, but soothing, comforting music. He has that soft voice that makes me just mellow out. I also like the smooth jazz music for the same reason. I have such a diverse love of music that it is always difficult for me to say just what I like. A world without music would be so sad.
My coping mechanism is actually watching youtube videos like yours. They bring me so much peace to see kind happy people in the world going through life the same way as me. I suffer from anxiety so for some reason youtube has given me so much peace. Your videos inspire me to enjoy each day and be grateful like you are everyday :) i have a small family (for now;) me husband and 1 year old but u cant wait to have a family to enjoy life with xx
Whenever I am in pain or feeling down I play the piano, listen to music, pray, and/or read scriptures in the bible. I also surround myself with family. Keep your chins up. You guys are such amazing people. I really enjoy watching your vlogs. Love you guys. :D
I love how much cal laughs its so cute and sweet. and eat dirt. wen I'm sad and I can come on the computer I watch you guys and I watch daily bumps cuz you all make me happy
Nearly started crying when he was on about sad songs could see how moved he was x love this family so much so thank you for letting us all in to ur home and being apart of ur family
When my anxiety is high I watch amazing vlogger families like you guys! Your positivity and love for one another makes me feel so much better! So thank you for being who you all are and keep sharing your lovely lives with us!
Yesss James Taylor music always touches me. Your question is a thinker for me, because I'm not sure I've really figured out what makes me feel better when I'm down!
When I am down or troubled, I pray, read the Bible, listen to inspirational music and be outside in nature. I look for peaceful places. I like to watch you guys too...because you put out positive energy!
You guys are my favorite family to watch on you tube!! Ellie where did you get your nail polish? It's really pretty! Please answer! I'm 13 and I look up to u guys like our my own family!!😄
What helps me go through a hard time is watching your videos I had open brain surgery and I am only nine years old and when I see you guys cry it make me cry because it is so amotional to see you guys cry I love you guys so much that you just made my day and I was a miracle to my parents
I honestly feel like whenever I need a "pick-me-up" when I am down, I turn to youtube and my friends. Whenever I go onto youtube I always make sure to watch your videos first because they just make me so happy!! I love you guys so much, even though I don't know you... I feel connected whenever I watch your videos.
The #1 thing that pulls me out of any funk is going outside and just enjoying the beauty of nature. I find being outdoors, hiking esp, helps me put things in perspective and realize that the world is much bigger than my problems. Just like the critters out in the woods, I've just got to keep on moving forward and doing what I need to do to survive. BRB I've gotta go listen to Little Acorns by The White Stripes. Describes what I said perfectly lol.
i'm not just saying this but when i'm sad i watch your videos. As a 15 year old you guys are so inspirational and motivational. You taught me that no matter how hard of a time you are going through or how sad you are, as long as you keep trying and you keep you head help high you can get through even the toughest positions. You guys are such a loving caring family. When I watch your videos I feel like i am apart of your family and it helps me feel loved. Not only this you guys are such great role models for me as a teenager t reaching young adulthood. Even though you may never see this comment I just wanted to say you guys mean so much to me and have helped me through so much. Thank you ❤️
Since I lost my gramma to stage 4 cancer I have fallen into a depression ... but I hide it very well- I push a lot of things down until I Can't Anymore.. I sing my heart out to sad or happy songs in my kitchen and it's amazing how good that feels to sing all my anger and sadness out ❤️❤️
Hi Ellie and Jared! I'm 14 years old. I usually play my violin when I am sad or stressed out! I love it! It keeps me calm!Have a great day! Atā(Latvian)
When I am down I always turn on your vlogs and hope that someday I have a family as sweet and kind as yours! Thanks for inspiring all of your viewers, enjoy your adorable family!!
When I'm feeling down or stressed I like to color in one of my adult coloring books (or a kids one :P) and eat chocolate! Congrats on 1,000 videos. It'll be so exciting to see what you guys come up with :)
When I'm down - I call my Mom and I listen to my favourite groups Celtic Thunder and Celtic Woman. I love to sing along to them, and I feel so much better afterward.
I hope everything is ok with your family Jared. I hope you are ok. As Ellie has said in previous videos sometimes it's ok to be sad, and I think it's good to find a healthy way to express that sadness, like doing something meaningful like playing your guitar. Whatever your struggles, we're thinking of you. Xx
When I'm feeling down or going through hard times I talk to either my sister or my friends. I also spend time alone and just think, listen to music, watch TH-cam or Netflix because it just somehow brings my mood up
My mom grew up on The Beatles, and therefor my brother and I grew up on The Beatles. Some of those songs are so inspiring and some of them are sad, they do cheer you up! I'm really curious as to your favorite songs by them. When I'm having a hard day, music takes me into a whole new world. I love music.
The vlog was really relaxing to watch right now! The kids are just adorable! I basically didn't see daylight today.. When I biked to school (7:55am) it was just getting light, and when I biked back (4:30pm) it was already getting a bit darker... I guess it'll be like this every Tuesday for like half a year... If my schedule doesn't change ..
Honestly, I love to watch the videos and vlogs you and Ellie make. Your family just radiates with happiness and with love- and it makes me feel so happy to just see and experience it all. Tell the family I said hi! I love y'all!! ❤️😄
🎸 *Jared my man! You've gotz the skillz to pay the billz!*
I totally agree about Sad songs making you happy... Its funny how that works.
PS Lets start a band.
We can call it *MECH-A-HAWK.* (just Imagine an announcer yelling it in a deep voice to a stadium of screaming fans...."And now, MECH-A-HAWK!")
I don't know what kind of music we would play, but with a name like that, I would assume _Death Metal....._
......Sooooooo....
....We should probably pick a different name.
he needs to play guitar on the vlog more often!
YES YES YES I agree he does need to play more!!!
The Hawks Flock FAMILY! Sad songs make me sad
= )
I hope Ellie's gonna be pregnent soon. They are so amazing parents. wish you all the best
I hope so too Alina :)
I know!!!!!! I think they are going t take a break for a while, and then have another set of kids close together!!!!
alina ciesla ya I want Ellie to have a girl for Jackson on Calvin to have new dreams

when my anxitey is high or I'm having a bad day. you can find me in the kitchen whipping something up. so my husband knows when there is an over load of baked goods or major cleaning he knows something is up
Noticed your name is "Benjamin Momma"...my son's name is Benjamin too! :)
The Georges my last name is benjamin. my boys are named Leo and corson. :)
Benjamin Momma is it bad to say that? But I think it's funny 😄🙈💕
Mackenzie Serena Mecham how is it funny?" 😊
Nico Alcock lol I agree with these faces. lol
I'm not just saying this...I literally watch E+J vlogs to make myself feel better. I go back to the times when y'all were trying to get pregnant and when the kids were born and...just grin from ear to ear know how things have turned out for you. I really love you guys. It feels weird saying that to people who don't even know me..but I know you..and I love you.
downtonviewer same
downtonviewer couldn't say it better myself.
That's exactly what I do too. they make me feel like i know them on a personal level and that makes me feel good.
+The Yooper Fam Agreed!
I agree
How could you have a bad day after hearing Calvin crack up! What a cutie!
= )
I lost both my parents before turning 16..I love watching your vlogs because they are so wonderful. To me they definitely are bittersweet. Neither of my parents were as patient and understanding as you two, but I loved them just as much because I'm patient and understanding. Never stop doing what you're doing and loving your children how you love them. They'll appreciate both of you forever.
Andy Wyant I'm sorry for your loss and I think TH-cam is such a good thing because of the community in it and the effect it can have on so many people :)

Watching you guys and diving into a Harry Potter book makes me feel better! Harry Potter brings me into another mindset and it makes me happy I can escape the real world and read about a world that I long to be apart of HA and you guys just make me happy in general :)

Utah
I was talking about Ellie and Jared not myself
Yeah I get you Jared. People always ask why I listen to sad songs or slow songs, and it does make me feel better. That and being with my sisters :)
when i am down i talk to God, i ask Him to make me feel better what's going on inside my heart and mind, and it always works.
soo excited to watch this, once again thankful for another vlog from you guy everyday, love watching this family grow💕💕
I went through a really tough time with my anxiety and depression. My mom and I would sit on the porch and listen to James Taylor - now his music calms me and it's also what played on my wedding day!
Love you guys! What I do to feel better is praying, seek God and His Word, and I reach out to my brothers and sisters in Christ.
Today is my 17th birthday which means I can finally drive! watch out road users 😂

To answer your question Jared, music makes me feel better! Nothing better than putting on my favourite tunes and having a good old sing.
Yes! Jason Mraz "Beautiful Mess" loved you playing the intro Jared its one of my favorite sad songs :)
I love yellow lights for the entryway!
Aw!!! That intro was adorable!!!!!! Calvin playing peek a boo is just the cutest thing ever.
When I am down or troubled, I pray, read the Bible, listen to inspirational music and be outside in nature. I look for peaceful places. I like to watch you guys too...because you put out positive energy!
When I go through hard times I pamper myself. I always take a bubble bath in candlelight like Ellie did, Sooo relaxing & a very good de-stresser!
excited for DBEJCKWinterVacy!!!!
I've been waiting for this all morning in my dory footy PJ'S
I just love Calvin's laugh!!! He's so adorable!!!
Congrats on 1000 vids!!!
You are sooo close to 10000 subs!!!!!! I love you guys!
That's awesome Elizabeth!
What makes me happy is watching u and your family love you guys
You guys are my favorite family to watch on you tube!! Ellie where did you get your nail polish? It's really pretty! Please answer! I'm 13 and I look up to u guys like our my own family!!😄
What helps me go through a hard time is watching your videos I had open brain surgery and I am only nine years old and when I see you guys cry it make me cry because it is so amotional to see you guys cry I love you guys so much that you just made my day and I was a miracle to my parents
And I was a miracle to my parents just like Jackson and Calvin
When I'm upset I love to listen to chill/sad songs. One of my favourites is October by Jonas Alaska, such a relaxing song ☺️

I read when I go through a hard time. It gives me a break from reality and it really helps me!
I honestly feel like whenever I need a "pick-me-up" when I am down, I turn to youtube and my friends. Whenever I go onto youtube I always make sure to watch your videos first because they just make me so happy!! I love you guys so much, even though I don't know you... I feel connected whenever I watch your videos.
The Yooper Fam thank you!
The #1 thing that pulls me out of any funk is going outside and just enjoying the beauty of nature. I find being outdoors, hiking esp, helps me put things in perspective and realize that the world is much bigger than my problems. Just like the critters out in the woods, I've just got to keep on moving forward and doing what I need to do to survive. BRB I've gotta go listen to Little Acorns by The White Stripes. Describes what I said perfectly lol.
Same here...I get outside Tracey :)
Nice plan!
Loved the entry light! Congrats on all the goals reached!
Thanks!
can't wait for the big announcement!! bless you both! what a beautiful family you all are😇💞💝💜💛💗
I am in love with Billy Joel. Just every song of his gets my feet tapping, or my head swaying.
i'm not just saying this but when i'm sad i watch your videos. As a 15 year old you guys are so inspirational and motivational. You taught me that no matter how hard of a time you are going through or how sad you are, as long as you keep trying and you keep you head help high you can get through even the toughest positions. You guys are such a loving caring family. When I watch your videos I feel like i am apart of your family and it helps me feel loved. Not only this you guys are such great role models for me as a teenager t
reaching young adulthood. Even though you may never see this comment I just wanted to say you guys mean so much to me and have helped me through so much. Thank you ❤️
Awww Calvin laugh 😍😍😍

Since I lost my gramma to stage 4 cancer I have fallen into a depression ... but I hide it very well- I push a lot of things down until I Can't Anymore.. I sing my heart out to sad or happy songs in my kitchen and it's amazing how good that feels to sing all my anger and sadness out ❤️❤️
I love watching you guys it makes me happy to see your family succeed and I support you and pretty soon you'll have 1,000,000 subscribers
You guys are such a good family!!! I look up to you guys. I love you guys!
That intro (with Calvin and Ellie) just made my day!
Hi Ellie and Jared! I'm 14 years old. I usually play my violin when I am sad or stressed out! I love it! It keeps me calm!Have a great day! Atā(Latvian)
i love watching your videos! congrats on 1000 videos! also I just want to say I love your house!
When I am down I always turn on your vlogs and hope that someday I have a family as sweet and kind as yours! Thanks for inspiring all of your viewers, enjoy your adorable family!!
I love to listen to sad songs when I'm upset, because it just comforts you and cheers you up. Jared you are amazing at playing the guitar. ❤️
When I'm feeling down or stressed I like to color in one of my adult coloring books (or a kids one :P) and eat chocolate! Congrats on 1,000 videos. It'll be so exciting to see what you guys come up with :)
I love when you play Jason Mraz!!! Thanks for making me smile!!!
When I'm down - I call my Mom and I listen to my favourite groups Celtic Thunder and Celtic Woman. I love to sing along to them, and I feel so much better afterward.
I hope everything is ok with your family Jared. I hope you are ok. As Ellie has said in previous videos sometimes it's ok to be sad, and I think it's good to find a healthy way to express that sadness, like doing something meaningful like playing your guitar.
Whatever your struggles, we're thinking of you. Xx
Thank you Jessica!
When I'm feeling down or going through hard times I talk to either my sister or my friends. I also spend time alone and just think, listen to music, watch TH-cam or Netflix because it just somehow brings my mood up
My mom grew up on The Beatles, and therefor my brother and I grew up on The Beatles. Some of those songs are so inspiring and some of them are sad, they do cheer you up! I'm really curious as to your favorite songs by them. When I'm having a hard day, music takes me into a whole new world. I love music.
Hannah Mae My top favorites are Eleanor Rigby, Something, and I Me Mine
We love the Beatles music too!
The vlog was really relaxing to watch right now! The kids are just adorable!
I basically didn't see daylight today.. When I biked to school (7:55am) it was just getting light, and when I biked back (4:30pm) it was already getting a bit darker... I guess it'll be like this every Tuesday for like half a year... If my schedule doesn't change ..
Be safe as you ride in the dark!
Ellie and Jared thank you very much! Happily I don't live to far! I used to ride an hour, but since i moved it's only 15 minutes :)
My favorite song wish Thy Will. It hits close to home.
Honestly, I love to watch the videos and vlogs you and Ellie make. Your family just radiates with happiness and with love- and it makes me feel so happy to just see and experience it all. Tell the family I said hi! I love y'all!! ❤️😄
Well Ellie and Jared.... When I've had a really bad day. I come home, watch your Vlog, and BAM! My day just got a whole lot better! Thank you!
