Those babies and their older siblings are so blessed to have you, Art and Bri, as parents. They're such beautiful humans. Joyful and Grace are such amazing girls, helping with keeping track of stock in the pantry. They're all already so independent. Well done Art and Bri! Blessings to your whole family. The twins will be home soon.
We all are rooting for you!!! Real life!
Tess I couldn't have said it better!
Grace is looking like a grown beautiful young woman. She must be a complete blessing
I absolutely love your family you both give so much to your children. Both of you Mom and Dad have a Listening Ear, a Soothing Voice, a Caring Heart, a Helping Hand, a Healing Hug, a Cheering Smile.
And let's not forget all of you have so much Faith, strength, and courage. God has blessed you with sweet little bundles of love. When a child is born, parents are too... the sounds of babies feet will soon fill your home with unimaginable love and infectious laughter. Enjoy!!
Running across these old videos and all I can say is that we are Praying for you Arthur and your beautiful family 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 What a Precious Family you have, please keep fighting!!! Just a reminder that you are needed and if your lost, your family will guide you back home 🤞🏼Sending lots of Love to Bri, your children and you ❤ We are Praying for healing in your mental health and relationships 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Whenever there where hard times when we were little our Mother would put us on her Lap and said in a comforting vice that Jesus loves all his Little Children. It somehow was comforting to know. Art even today as a grown Man God is still comforting me when things get tough and stressful and believe it or not it is still a calming and reassuring to know that he does. I hope that God will do the same for you and Bri going through the though times with your Babies. God bless you all.
Amen 🙏🏻💕
Grace and her frog 🐸 ♥ made me cry Grace is such a beautiful child..❤
Good job Dad!!! What a blessing you are raising these beautiful kids!!! Good job Mom!! You are a beautiful Momma and doing such a great job!
one day, one breath, one heartbeat at a time.....
Lifting your beautiful family up!
❤️🐾❤️🙏🏻🕯🙏🏻❤️🐾❤️
Watching this now kept me on the edge of tears. So sad for what has been lost. So grateful for the love that was and still is. Art and Bri, I hope the healing continues and you and your family stay safe and well.
May God give this Beautiful Family all they need from your precious loving arms!!!
🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏

The sign is beautiful and the saying is wonderful. You could feel the love in the words.
I can see why seeing those babies, the young set ones, the older ones, is SO very important. They are all amazing persons. The love is all over their faces?
We’ve been thinking about you all during this season in your life. Know many people are praying and holding you all up in prayer. I was and ICU and ER nurse for most of my career and crisis has a way of helping us see what true priorities are as well as allow us to reflect on our blessings. Keep your eye fixed on the Lord he is your strength ❤️
They are beautiful signs with beautiful quotes. Praying for you all xx
Success is not dependent on whether you’ve done your best. Your best (which is a moving target daily) is the definition of success. And that may not agree with the picture you have in your head. Lord, I pray that Art and Bri would lay their heads down each night knowing they have done the “best” YOU have set for them each day. Blessings.
Art, you are not a vlogger, you are a filmmaker. Those opening shots! Captivating.
O MY, look at those babies. They are coming along nicely.
💖💙💖💙💖💙💖💙💖💙💖💙💖💙💖💙💖💙💖💙💖💙💖💙💖💙💖💙💖💙💖💙💖👍
They're all growing up, you'll have serious helpers once babies come home! May God keep you all healthy:))
It's so good to get to see everyone. The babies are precious.. The rest of the kids so sweet. I love boys night and girls night. It's so sweet the boys wanted to be with the girls also. Another amazing video. Continued prayers for everyone. God Bless
The kids will remember how special you have tried to make this place you are in. Those little ones are so precious!
Grace is looking so grown up! And she is so responsible. It is visible that the twins are getting bigger. Prayers for their continued growth and health. Babies are so amazing.
Oh your signs are beautiful, the coloring in the wood is beautiful. So blessed to have family to help. Continued prayers 🙏🏼❤
Beautiful film. Thank you. God bless your family.
Your signs are Beautiful, handmade is not always perfect but that’s what makes it special.
Oh I adore that sign! Continued prayers for your whole family Art.
I love how Joyful separates needs and wants when making her verbal grocery list
Beautiful signs...I want one...
I just love how you love your kids, and how you talk to them, what you do to make sure they all have your love, and attention !
Her voice sounds like Bri lol
My heart is full of love for your family. You are wrapped in the arms of Love and Peace, health and life flows through you all.
Little Royal always lifts his head to see you when you're talking. He knows both your voices. Cuteness overload right there. Both twins are adorable. It looked like the boys had a great time on boys night. I'm sure Art did too.
That’s amazing your using the old barn wood from your barn, we had a barn in Idaho and that wood everyone wanted. And that saying is perfect ❤️
Art you and Bri have done an amazing job with the children. The twins are growing and changing. Their eyes are big and today I could tell they have blue eyes, not that I was surprised. Brighton was cute tonight in your video, he is a beautiful child. Each of your children are precious. I continue to pray for the twins and your family.
It's wonderful to see you are able to hold both twins again! What a blessing for the children that you not only make an effort to spend special time with them but that you recognize for the time being that's more important than chores. Prayers and thankfulness continue for all. 🙏💖
Time with Aunts and Grandma's is good for kids too. There will be many happy memories from this time! Soon the pain will start to fade until you hardly remember it. I was a preemie and my Mom looks back fondly at that time. The pain is no longer there for her. Your babies are beautiful!!
It will never matter that the boys didn't clear their room, but they'll remember for the rest of their lives that they had boys night with Dad. Even if it's not this specific one, the nostalgia of all of them will embrace them always, and it's that which truly matters. Take it from a Mum, with two young Men, who she has worried about, but listens to what they've brought with them, as the most important things, into Manhood.
That is a beautiful statement. I have 4 grown men and I cherish the memories of their upbringing that they now share. I didn’t do such a bad job after all.
@@tracyjones4026 Thank you. It's a really wonderful thing to sit back, and watch/listen to them, the eldest with his own children, as they laugh so hard at the things they did as children, and not the things they had. No, it's the time they cherish, and dens they built, the walks we went on, and I don't know what it is with boys, but fires, they love a good fire... mind you, so do I. My youngest is still at home, and we still love to have a fire, and sit outside, chatting the evening away 😁
Trust me all your kids feel loved. You two are raising them right, they are so thoughtful and loving towards one another it’s so beautiful💞
Precious Family you’re all doing your best with a difficult situation. May God’s Peace Rest on Each of You
The imperfection is what makes it perfect. They look beautiful
Cant wait to see more work on the house. The babies are sooooooo cute. Love seeing them in their hats and sleepers.
the boys are so sweet ,they love the night but have mama on their minds .love that age
I just can't wait to see those gorgeous baby's come home safe and sound, what a wonderful day that will be to have everyone together again for you all to be able to relax and just enjoy being together.
I LOVE SEEING THE BABIES,SINCE I WAS A 3 pounder back in 1937 you should see me now.WAS WEIGHED ON GROCERY STORE SCALES WITH CLOTHES &=BLANKET. I’M SURE THERE GONNA BE FINE I GET TO SEE HOW SMALL I WAS. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY,THEY WERE FIVE OF US, BUT HAVE A BROTHER & SISTER THAT PASSED AT 3 1/2 MONTHS. MY MOM ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT THEM.I’M A MIRACLE BABY FOR SURE. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU….. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Art, your videography and accompanying background music is excellent. I get lost in the beauty of the simple pleasures of nature and family. You and Bri appear to be doing such a good job of balancing a busy life. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. Your children are precious. Beautiful family
You are doing it guys! By the grace of God, you are managing your situation! My God give you the strength you need to complete this part of your journey so you can rejoice when your family is all together again!
They are precious. Getting stronger every day. So good you are doing something separate for the boys and girls. They really need that. Bless you and family.
I cannot believe how much they've grown. It's amazing how full they look now. I've prayed so much for you and your babies. God certainly answers prayers.
Continuing to remember your sweet family in my prayers. You have the most beautiful children!
It's okay that you didn't worry that the boys didn't clean their room, it will be a disaster area tomorrow anyway.
The easy segue from Grace feeding her baby pigeons to Joyful releasing her baby frog was a nice touch.
Also, looking forward to being able to buy one of your signs, Art. That is JUST what I've been looking for ❤️
Hey Anna, morning kids, art work looks great. Bless yall. Babys look good. So glad here, am a twin here, am pulling praying for them both God is Smiling.
The HOME sign is absolutely PERFECT. I love it.
Good to see everyone is doing great! Managing crisis is a job. Allow yourself and each other huge amounts of acceptance, forgiveness and understanding. You will survive the crisis.
Every time I see you both with your babies I tear up. No life is perfect without adversity, but your family handles everything with such love and grace from what I’ve seen. I pray God continues to bless your beautiful family.
That saying is so very true, when I lost my house my home was exactly that!
I don’t know how you guys are doing everything including the videos but I was impatiently waiting to see how you all are
Your babies are so so precious 💞
Praise God
The babies are looking better and better each video! I'm very happy for you and the family.
So many memories will be gathered up from these moments.
You and Bri are doing an awesome job of making all your children important and loved Art. I commend you both.no know that is a scarey and worrisome time for all of you. Confined prays for your family. God Bless Y'all.
Time to make craft signs but no work on the old farmhouse. Should get a pre made house delivered. All new no mold like the farmhouse. If the rental makes you move again how will you all fit in the camper? Housing has to be a priority. Winter will be here soon.
Gracey. You are such a good fill-in Mommy to your siblings and a fantastic pretty little farm girl.
I'm so glad that the girls are having a bonding experience and the boys too. Precious time to de-stress
Those babies are looking good so glad the caps are off. We are still praying for y'all I know that your all longing to be together all under one roof.
I'm with Grace on the oatmeal. But she doesn't complain.
Keep up the good work and God bless you all.
Yall are doing a wonderful job. Praying for you every day.
I hope you are able to continue bit by bit on the house reconstruction. Meanwhile, work with the three oldest to keep harvesting what is in the garden and even the food preservation depending upon thier kitchen, washing, hulling, and knife skills. Not fully sure what your fall/ winter gardening season is but, get those kids working on a fall garden. (Don't underestimate them, I chose garden and yard over dusting, dishes, and toilets for summer chores starting at about 8. The summer I was 9, I started a bunch of bushes from my father's pruned branches in the ground with no rooting hormone and then they had to figure where to plant them. The next year, I was required to identify where items I started would be planted FIRST and I was not allowed to play at grafting except with a few scrub, climbing rose bushes at the edge of the yard on the fence; I did get them to grow over the smaller apple trees and into the firs that year.) Maybe helping to plan and plant at least a part of the spring garden.
Continued prayers for each of you. You are such a lovely family. May the Lord help keep you all strong and comforted.
Art, this is one of my favorite videos. Beautifully shot and wonderful content. God bless. ❤
On the outside looking in, I would say you have done a great job meeting the needs of all your kids. The kids especially the girls are maturing a lot through the twins lifetime. I think it is just a woman's instinct even at their age. They glow in the experience. Boys will be boys and show their feelings differently. Love to watch the babies responding to you both when you talk, touch or hold them. They are very aware who you are. God bless
The sign is beautiful. No one is perfect. Only God. So I love it. Sending prayers for you Bre, the twins and the rest of your beautiful children. Love seeing an update on the twins.
Such a blessing to see that both babies are doing well. I love it how you make time for your kids. They know they are loved and I believe they will be a fantastic big brothers and sisters.
You are remarkable people, facing daily challenges with strict schedules. Love abounds in your family. May God Bless you all. 🌺
Each of your videos with the kids & babies are so precious, I watch them more than once. I just love them. So much fun to have somores with the boys & I know Bri is enjoying seeing the girls. So thankful that Royal had time nursing, that is wonderful. At least that is what I think Bri said. Continuing to pray for Truly & Royal Tto continue to mature & grow. Praying for lungs to mature, MRSA to go away, & for Acid Reflux to be brought under control.. The boards you are making are beautiful !!
Your babies are so precious! I am so happy they are doing so well. It will be amazing when you are able to bring Truly and Royal home and have your whole family together! 😘❤️
Your hands on containment at the end was spot on! You guys got this... I know it's wears on you all the alone time, all the traveling. Try to time out for yourself if only 5 mins every day.
Making memories that will bond you even closer together. So happy the babies are doing so well. Praise God!
My hat is off to you Art and Bree for being awesome parents to all your children. Your twins will be home before you know it.
You BOTH don't worry about negative comments!!!!! You are doing what you feel best for you & your family! If others don't like what you are saying & or doing....????? THEY CAN NOT WATCH!!!!!!! Blessings to you all. May healing light wrap around all of you & bring much Joy! As Always, till next time!!
What great parents you two are. In the middle of your crisis, you think of your older kids. I can only imagine trying to think clearly in your situation. You're blessed to have family to help. They always do when they can. LOVE FROM SC!
First, the babies look great. Wonderful news that Royal is able to nurse. Praise God. Sometimes there are more important things than a clean room. Right now, this is one of them. You and Bri are doing a great job considering all you've been dealing with. Blessings
Absolutely precious family!
If you have bacon grease, you can use that in grits or oatmeal in place of butter. Very yummy, especially if you are already using salt and pepper.
Aww. You all are doing great and being careful. The kids are having fun. So grown up for the ages. The babies look precious. I am praying the reflux goes away. The kids will be happy to see them. I can't wait until they can leave the hospital.
God Bless your wonderful family and especially those beautiful precious babies
I think you all are doing an amazing job at keeping normalcy going under these most unusual circumstances. The kids are having a good time with you tonight. This has been such a difficult time you are handling the situation so well. I can’t imagine how difficult this has been. You’re in my thoughts and prayers. God give you all strength..
That opening was some of the best videography I’ve seen lately. Beautiful and peaceful. I had to laugh out loud and agreed about it being emergency when there’s no peanut butter! 😂. Love your barn wood wall signs. ❤️
The children are so beautiful and I love seeing the babies in the NICU. They look so good and it won't be long before you all can be together. I very much understand how frightening it is to have a call from the hospital asking for you to come in. You have so many miracles and people;le that love you. You are good parents and everyone seems to be doing pretty well considering. Keep the holy Spirit around you all at all times.
The twins are spectacular
Sweet Justice seemed to be thinking, "is this a trick question, Dad?"
Such fun, campfire and time with the boys! The girls get some mom time, so special. Love the sign it perfect. Prayers sent for babies.
When she said peanut butter for the grocery list it brought back memories for me. When my kids were little if we ran out of it we were on starvation! There was no food in the house! Nothing to eat! I can hear them now. Never mind that there was all kind of canned food in the pantry and food in the freezer. We were OUT of peanut butter! Panic time! LOL
I'm so glad your babies are doing as well as can be expected. Soon they'll be home with 5 siblings to watch over them. When you had the solemn music start the video it scared me. But everything is good. I keep your family in my thoughts.
So very sweet and they are truly beautiful kids
Sorry to butt in again, but I just got a good look at little Royal and he looks just like his dad! 💜🌻
This is so beautiful, thank you, as always, for sharing. My heart breaks into pieces thinking about how difficult it must be to leave the twins even when you know you need to recharge and even when you know theyre in good hands. One day really soon you will all be together
Watching your little family always makes my heart swell. I have been away to Alabama all last week on vacation to see family ( refill my emotional tank) and have missed seeing your bunch. I am so impressed with how much the twins have grown and developed in that week. They will be home in no time! Bri, you look so much more relaxed and confident and Art, you holding the babies skin-to-skin is so precious. I love your little family like my own. Blessings on you all and Anna and all your extended family as well. I am going to try to find the funds to take your fermenting course this time around. It looks awesome.
You both have done an excellent job with the kids. They are always glad to see you and that says something. The babies are really growing. What weight are they up to now?
So good to see you folks.
The twins looking so good and same for the rest of you! I hope your family caretakers are feeling better too 🙏🏽💕
Sending love and hugs from South Carolina's upstate 😘
Oh my gosh the releasing of the little frog....that made my heart smile and feel blessed for the fact you shared that really special moment for us to see. The barnboard sign is absolutely beautiful. Oh my gosh the babies look amazing and was so thrilled to see Truly interacting and alert. And Royale eager to nurse that is positive too! You are totally doing everything perfect. And both of you are so strong. And the kids are managing well. Oatmeal with salt and pepper is perfectly fine. Smores, well that makes everything better :-)
Love the rustic way better then a perfect sign.
Your twins are looking good. Hopefully they'll be going home soon.They sure were a miracle.God Bless!
You two are cloning machines! Gorgeous babies! All of you are doing an amazing job! Teamwork Yay! Continued prayers!
Your filming on this vlog episode is amazing Art! You two are quite the effective team for wrangling the kids. Grace and Joyful are real planners for grocery shopping.
Wonderful, beautiful, and so sweet. Love you guys! Bless you!!
I love how you LOVE each other!
