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.
He was evicted. Which will destroy his credit, at such a young age. With their wealth, they could have helped with his rent till he could move back home. Plus he is on their channel so he should be compensated for that time. In my opinion, it’s disgusting on their part.
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'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.
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.
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

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!
They can be. It depends on their line of work /qualifications and their expectations. All 8 of my nieces and nephews are in their 20's, early 30s, and live either alone or with a flatmate. It can be done.
@@divahc1what they mean by younger generation is the people born in the 2000s not 90s. My mom is even struggling paying rent and we live in San Diego which is now the most expensive city to ever live in. I seen a family literally homeless living on the streets in the cheapest area to live here. They have young kids and are sleeping in a large tent next to a building. It’s not as easy as it sounds and the prices of rent is ridiculous…even living on section 8 my mom is paying 3k a month w/ all her bills just to keep us living and happy. My 19 or 20 year old cousin has a 2 year old son and her car just got taken because she was 3 months late on it and she lives with her parents which they managed to get the car back. She works at a medical clinic. Jobs are harder to get into now and I had to be in an organization at 17 just to get paid and I’ll be making $16 a hour and get paid ONCE a month.
yeah it’s definitely not easy for us, i had moved towns with my mom and we were paying $1,600 a month which was a DEAL where we were living. my mom was in medical sales full time and had to work at target part time and then she switched over to being a flight attendant. i was working a full time retail job and because of the fact i had to work so much to have a roof over my head while i was also TRYING to be a full time student at a community college…i had to keep dropping classes or i would fail them. after two years of struggling to make something for ourselves and finally leaving the town we had been stuck in for my entire life we had to move back there. now it’s my mom, her boyfriend, my older brother and I. there’s not even enough room for the 4 of us in this house. there is absolutely no hope for my generation and especially for those of us that are musicians or some type of artist. this world is not built for us.
My daughter and her boyfriend are both struggling financially right now ! It’s hard ! We’re not able to help them and we feel so bad not able to help! It’s definitely hard for people to live on their own! The costs are rising to fast !
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.
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!
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!
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.
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•••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.💜

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 😊
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.
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 !
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...🙏❤
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.
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 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 😭🥹🫶
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.
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! 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.
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.
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!
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)
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.
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!
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 ❤❤❤❤❤
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
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
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
“ 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. ❤
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!
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.
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
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❤❤
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 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!!!
So happy to see Alex back home, I know you enjoyed your apartment but economically you had to give it up. Happy your party was a success Crystal. Great family helping out makes things so much easier. Blessings.
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! 💞
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. You guys are the meaning of teamwork. Your whole family works so well together. I can feel all the love and support with each kid. You are all lucky to have each other. ❤
"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.
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.
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 love you so much, Crystal 💓 i love how you can turn a negative into a positive with all trials and tribulations in life. I love you as a person, a friend, you are someone who gets it! ❤❤❤ get some rest beautiful

Love how supportive your family is towards each other ❤
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.
Everything happens for a reason. Love seeing you all having fun together ❤️ 😊
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!!
It’s great to see a family come together with such great “Teamwork”- - Jo Adams
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.

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.
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!
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)

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.
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!
TEAMWORK! Your family always comes together to help each other out. The true definition of TEAMWORK and the love for each other.🎄❤️
Good to see Alex moved back home.. love you crazy pieces ❤♥
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 ❤❤❤❤❤
Living with Family is the best way to go !! Good for you Alex , smart move xoxo !
Cause he got evicted got no choice
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
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
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.

Teamwork makes the dream work! Keep those spirits up guys!!!-Alanna Renee
"TEAMWORK" makes the dream work. Thank goodness for a big family. Don't forget to breathe Crystal, it will all be ok.
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!

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.
Family makes the TEAMWORK so much easier 🩷
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.
So happy for alex
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!
Ariana is happy because she’s finally in a place that she feels comfortable & knows her goal to succeed in her life.
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.
❤❤❤
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!
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
"TEAMWORK" makes the dream work! Family is everything!
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.
They already addressed this before, yet you still don’t seem to understand anything about trauma.
@@LeahFairfieldI wouldn’t be asking if I already knew the answer.
@@Leenamiz drop it and move on. You don’t need to know then.
The “TEAMWORK” is amazing. It helps to have a big family.
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.
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.
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
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
I love how you all support each other in everything you do. It takes Teamwork to get things done. Like helping Alex move home. ❤
“ 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. ❤
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!
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.
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
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❤❤
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 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!!!
Yes! Do what’s best for you!!! It’s your life living it how you want live it!!!
So glad you had all the TEAMWORK that you needed to get through the day!
Your family is the epitome of TEAMWORK!! ❤ I am sooooo impressed with all of you!
So happy to see Alex back home, I know you enjoyed your apartment but economically you had to give it up. Happy your party was a success Crystal. Great family helping out makes things so much easier. Blessings.
I love the Teamwork attitude that your family has. You all work together to accomplish what needs to be done. I love your family.
You guys are the best! Welcome home Alex. Hugs to all of you.
"Teamwork"!!
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! 💞
Teamwork makes the dreamwork! And thats what you got today!! Your family always steps up when they are needed! I love your family!
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. You guys are the meaning of teamwork. Your whole family works so well together. I can feel all the love and support with each kid. You are all lucky to have each other. ❤
It takes TEAMWORK to help each other. I love that he's moving back. I love seeing the love yall have
"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.
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.
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!
You do have amazing kids! That’s you and Aaron! Yall have instilled great family values that they would have never gotten had it not been for you♥️
Now that's what you call get her done great family team work ... Welcome Home Alex ❤
This whole day was about “TEAMWORK”!!! Amazing to see ppl coming together✨
I love you so much, Crystal 💓 i love how you can turn a negative into a positive with all trials and tribulations in life. I love you as a person, a friend, you are someone who gets it! ❤❤❤ get some rest beautiful
Your family TEAMWORK is amazing! Love how everyone chipped in to help.
I love how everyone chipped in and helped and it was awesome to see the TEAM WORK they did !!
I'm proud of all the kids. They are doing such a great job. You guys do amazing teaching lessons and explaining. Thank you
