The way he threw his backpack when he saw Mom. A mother's love and support is just so beautiful and pure. Seeing them hug and them both cry speaks for itself. Welcome back Gavin.
I know right? Just as I was watching this video, my dad came back from Korea after a quick business trip but it felt so awkward hugging him. Always has..
@@sandigerfilms That's interesting, not sure how long you've been around, since there's no Shane in this family. Secondly, if you can't see the significance of two people going through a time of struggle, but still managing to do the work, take accountability for wrongdoings, and put forth the time and effort to hold their family together in the midst of it all.... How many couples do you see making it through in this day and age? And that doesn't happen by accident; it requires perseverance, resilience, and determination. Look at their children. Do you think those children would be as happy as they look to be if their lives went in a different direction? They are loved beyond measure. And frankly, it was atrocious for the Internet to think they had a say in two people's marriage. To not recognize the added hurt and humiliation it would inflict onto innocent children to discuss their family's personal struggles publicly. You cannot tell me that is acceptable. This family is strong and committed. And I can only imagine that is a testament to their Faith in the Lord. Because I don't know what else it could be. And that's a beautiful thing. Anyway, I think it's time to move on. I know I'm sure not the struggle I went through five years ago...

this makes me think back an old christmas vlog when logan was on his mission and you tell gavin “i’ll miss you when you go on your mission” it’s so crazy how fast time passes. so happy to see you all together again 🥲
People say they are tired of crying for strangers on the internet. But I think for a lot of us, these aren’t strangers. We have seen them grow up and I definitely cried like a baby watching this.
Takes me back to: - 10 year old Gavin and Shay in the airport watching when the other missionary comes home - Two years ago, Shay wondering if Zeke will still be around when Gavin comes home - All three older kids on the same mattress when the vlogs first started in California
this is WILD to revisit after having watched you guys so much when i was growing up in the 2010's. everyone is so grown!!! the internet is pretty cool sometimes, man. happy for you guys, thanks for continuing to share ♥
Omgggggg!!!! Been watching since 2010 this is INSANITY!!! I remember him talking about his future Mission. How tender all of this is🤍 Heavenly Father is soooooo good
Instantly sobbing with this video 😭 seeing Shay and Colette get to hug Gavin again and then seeing all 5 of the kids back together again and hugging. Sobbing immediately
The way gavin melted into collete im not okay im bawling my eyes out rn, I’ve been watching since the very beginning and it felt like i grew up with all of you, this makes me feel so happy
This really takes me back. Such a trip down memory lane seeing all these people together in this video; all the aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins. I remember so many of them by name still from the old daily Shaytards vlogs.
As someone who’s been watching since I think 2009, this vlog was like a 15 year reunion episode. Seeing the whole family there and how much all the kids have grown up was really great. Gavin has grown into a fine young man and should be proud of himself. God bless you guys.
i would love to have a sit down vid with Gavin discussing his experience a little bit. especially the reacclimating back to his old "life" and environment. i found it funny how he mentioned how huge the house was when he entered. i imagine the life in mexico was a bit more conservative and humble livings but i would love to hear from him on that. this homecoming game me all the feels. thanks for always sharing the most touching moments with the world. its going to be a great shaytards holiday season with everyone home
He is coming back to a pretty priviledged environment. He deserves that environment because his parents basically made money off of him and his siblings. When I came home from my mission my single mom had moved into a one bedroom and I had to sleep on a couch. I honestly wanted to be back on my mission in some ways for those first few days.
The comedy in the signs is so good! Come back from a mission just to see people saying hes back from rehab and holy shit we missed you. I died laughing. Im so happy the humor is still intact even with this holy moment 🤣🤣
@@ktk6049okay why are you being negative this is a happy moment and full of emotions ❤🥺 it’s great to see a loving family with good supportive system 😊this made me emotional And yeah the signs were indeed funny
@@ktk6049 calm down. First off a damn sign doesn’t dictate the past and on top of that he didn’t make the damn sign. He also isn’t responsible for others. Don’t come ruining my comment with your negativity.
I’ve been watching for the last 12 years. I’ve always appreciated how important family is to Shay. I never knew if one day I would have a family of my own like that. I am happy to say I am now 40 years old, married and have a 3 year son and a baby girl on the way. Shay’s videos will always hold a special place in my heart and this one really felt nostalgic.
YoAnty, I remember when you gave Shay a pair of Mickey Mouse vans at some conference. Watched your videos all the time when I was in my sneaker head phase.
@@SnipetsofTime because the commenter said he wanted to be like Shay, duh. Who would want to be a man, a husband, a father that would do that to his family?
I can’t believe how quick the last two years have gone. Doesn’t seem that long ago that he left. Bet it doesn’t feel like it to you. Glad he’s home safe ❤
been watching you guys since I was about 9 or 10 and I’ll be 21 next week. So proud of you elder butler and happy that ur family is back together shay!
Man, imagine your WHOLE family rocking up to the airport to meet you! Gavin is very lucky to have such an amazing and loving family :) you lot are the reason I had kids of my own. I only have the two (one daughter and one son). Would have loved to have had more but my body wouldn't be able to handle any more. Love you guys! ❤
This is crazy! I haven’t watched you guys in probably around 5 years. The kids are GROWN! Gavin is a full on man now, insane! Great to see you all doing so well!
I love how close all the siblings are. I live 30 mins from my brother, have seen him twice this year, we barely grumble a hello to each other. We love each other of course but watching that sibling group hug made me start bawling and realise I need to go hug my brother immediately (its currently 230am and hes gonna get a weird ring notification at about 3am).
My heart cannot handle mom and dad having all their babies back together. I know your family is soaking up this time so much. Really beautiful to see so much love!
Wow many of these people I haven't seen in years! It's nice seeing everyone together all in one video. Reminds me of the days back in the past, the old daily Shaytards vlogs. And welcome back Gavin!
shaytards (and bratayley) are the first family channel I ever watched! I started watching when I was 8 or 9 and I’ll be 21 in a few months, I feel like I grew up alongside your family. I’m so happy to see you all together again, love you guys!❤️
I don’t comment on videos but this one I had to. Even if it disappears. I’ve been watching for over 10 years, I have grown up watching this family. I cried at Avia’s video and I cried at this one too! The montage Logan filmed not only represents the family time Gavin has missed out on but it also shows how much time has passed since some of us started watching. Everyone is so grown up now. It made me very emotional, now I’m an adult and can rarely catch time to watch TH-cam now it reminds me of when I was a child and discovering these family vloggers and watching religiously! Very nostalgic and very beautiful. Welcome home Gavin ❤
I don’t ever comment, but so happy to see Gavin complete a mission! I watched your family as a young girl in middle/high school and learned a lot about the church through your videos. I specifically remembering you referencing a talk by Jeffrey R Holland called “A high priest of good things to come.” I listened to that talk and it changed me. I joined the church right after high school. I attribute much of my exposure to the church to you and your family. Hearing you talk about eternal families really made a difference for me. I’ve been a member 10 years now and have 4 kids of my own, serve as the primary president in my ward and truly love this gospel and all it has given me. Thank you for being a light!
Man.. Seeing the kids grow up and realize time flies is one thing.. But when I saw old man Zeke for the first time in so long i gasped, brought a little tear to my eye. Not in a bad way, just notalgic and happy for all of you. I cant believe how long its been since the Malachai days.
Growing up with you all from 2010 until now and man it’s so touching seeing everyone’s growth. Love the shaytards and I hope you keep us updated throughout life.
I started watching this TH-cam channel in 2009 because my parents couldn't afford cable and man. I was 12 then, I'm 27 now. It's always nostalgia watching your videos now. Thank you for your content and letting me grow up watching you guy for so many years. Much love.
When the kids were all hugging, you could tell with every blink brock had, that he was so happy and at peace that his big brother was finally home😢 also, him hugging all his baby cousins realizing they’re not babies anymore 😢 all the feels ❤
Instant tears. I have been watching your family grow up since day one of your vlogging journey. I remember Gavin as a little Kid and now he is all grown up into a wonderful young man. Welcome home Gavin!
I had the biggest smile on my face and cried watching this, as someone who’s deploying to the army in just a couple months this makes this feel so much easier thank you for sharing moments like these I’ve been watching since before Brock was even a baby thank you Shay and the butler family!!
This has such a surrealness to it. At first I thought the little girls in the beginning were flashbacks to him and his sisters when they were younger and then realized its the younger cousins. To seeing Gavin walk up looking like his father with all the compassion of his mother in his embraces. Welcome home Gavin, we can't wait to see the next season God has for you unfold.
Seeing the absolute love and adoration in the eyes of every single one when Gavin came back was something that made my year. I remember watching the birth vlog of Daxton and now seeing Gavin come home and everyone back together again was just heart warming. Welcome home Gavin, and thank you to the Gods and Goddesses, Lords and Ladies above for watching over you.
Y’all have come so far! From the kids sharing a mattress and rooms to THIS ❤🎉 …remember the first pregnancy they vlogged??? I literally just had my first baby…time is mysterious. Thank you for sharing your story ❤❤❤
He looks so handsome and well mannered, you guys did such a great job raising your children. I've been here for years watching your beautiful family grow and learn together, dreaming about my family one day. Sad to say this day is yet to come. I'm not Mormon but I've learned so much from you guys, God bless you all!
2 years has gone so quick, I cried watching him go on his mission and I’ve just cried watching him return home. Your whole family dynamic and love is just something else, welcome home Gavin 🎉❤
15:07 holy cow this house is so huge 😂 what a lovely vlog love this family since 6 years old and always felt i was apart of it and im so glad there back together
I was WAITING for this video!! I grew up LDS and videos like this always make me tear up. I’ve watched your videos my entire childhood. (Quite literally more than half my life) and this makes me so proud 😭❤️ I love you, Shaytards. This video made my entire day!
This has me sobbbinnggggggg! This is the most beautiful video I've seen all year. Thanks Shay for always sharing your family with us! You don't have to but you do! And have for over 12 yrs (which is crazy!) I love y'all!
I could watch this all day! Logan did an amazing job at getting great shots! What great memories! So nice seeing the whole family there to support this amazing young man! Let the fun begin!!
Welcome home Gavin. Talk about such a sweet and emotional sight seeing Colette and Gavin finally getting to hug after two years I just sobbed and couldn't imagine. I love how y'all's family all came out. The world needs more Shaytards again.
The way that Brock, Daxton, Avia and Emmy look at Gavin, is so awesome and special! I can't stop crying. Shay and Colette, you have such a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing this special time with your family, with us!
I just cannot believe that sweet little boy is a man. So so proud of you all. Gavin you are incredible. Shay and Collette it’s been a privilege and honor to watch your family grow. I must’ve been 15 the first time I watched a video. I’m 31 now. You guys have shown me what a stable loving family looks like and I know the same is true for so many. Gavin you are such a light and look so grown up! I can’t imagine the adventures and good you’ve done in the last two years. Just amazing to be let into this touching moment
@@annakatie7347 I completely agree with this statement but that’s their life and their own business. I’m far from religious and I believe is pointless but if it makes them happy than that’s great for them
It’s crazy to see how everyone has grownup. From Shay and Colette with the kids. To even Logan and Carly looking so much different than they used to. It feels just like yesterday that everyone was so young and I was watching the Christmas specials
SOBBING!! What an emotional moment. Thanks for sharing this with us. I’ve been here since the very beginning of the shaytards and wow… Gavin has grown before my eyes, such a proud moment. Glad the family is all back together ❤
man did this ever make me cry... been watching since no smiling on the teacups (i was in middle school) and i swear this family helped raise me, always there to turn to whenever i needed the kind of comfort my family couldn't provide me. it's wild to think that i grew up alongside these (big) kiddos. welcome home gavin, we've missed you!
That bag toss and embrace got me! Between this and Avia’s video had me crying dammit! The clip in Avias video of you (shay) and Gavin at the airport years ago and the words you said to him…. Ouch and to this now … just beautiful. You guys honestly don’t realise the comfort you give us all . Currently going through anxiety but watching you all helps take my mind off things . 💜
I'm glad you made this video, I can recall when I was homeless and faced with many things in Life until $75,000 biweekly began rolling in and my Life went from A homeless nobody to a different person with good things to offer!!!!!💚
Yeah sounds impossible, yet with Christina Ann Tucker, I've come to the conclusion that financially anything is possible. I got my self my dream car 🚗 just last weekend and a whooping $320k in savings already, My journey with her started after my best friend came back from New York and saw me suffering in debt then told me about her and how to change my life through her. Christina A. Tucker is the kind of person one needs in his or her life! I got a home, a good wife, and a beautiful daughter. Note!:: this is not a promotion but me trying to make a point that no matter what happens, always have faith and keep living!!
9:10 let the waterworks begin......... love seeing how the whole family came to greet Gavin back after being gone for 2 years. Thank you for sharing this precious moment with us all. Been following Shaytards since the beginning and to see the whole family grow througout the years, thank you again
growing up with you guys meant so much to me, I've been watching you guys since I was 5 years old knowing I am only 16 years old, I love watching this family, I don't have the best home, so you guys have helped me with me so much. I love seeing how much everyone has grown!! :D
Welcome back Gavin! I for sure cried like a little baby 😭I cried right when he started to burst when he saw mom. I just know that the Christmas special is gonna be so good ❤ love it!!!!!!
OMG, this made me cry (happy tears), I literally have been watching the Shaytards for years, and it was so heartwarming to see everyone's reaction. Thank you for sharing this moment, you make your subscribers feel like family. I cannot believe it's been two years already, time has flown by so fast. And I want to say thank you for everything you do Shaytards , you've always been the channel to go to when I was at hard times, and also good too! Glad Gavin is back home safe and sound.
I can’t believe how grownup he looks. What a loved guy he is! I have to say this video really pulled my heart strings, seeing the whole Butler crew showing up for Gavin. They are all so loving of each other. What a great family. I’ve followed them since 2009. Crazy.
So surreal that I started watching when I was just out of high school and Gavin was so little. I’m now watching this while cuddling with my three-year-old and two month old sons. Definitely set in that this life passes so quickly and these boys are going to be grown before you know it. What a great young man Gavin has become! Welcome home Elder Butler!
Well who could keep from crying when Gavin threw his duffel bag down and hugged his mom? Not me. How wonderful to see them back together. Thanks for sharing.
this is so beautiful. i’ve been watching this family since i was young and even remember Logan on his mission sending a letter during christmas. I’m so happy you are all together again
It is one of my biggest goals in life to meet you guys. You have no idea of the impact you’ve made on my life. Before Gavin even came on screen I was balling my eyes out while eating my dinner. Your family has felt like my own since I was 12 years old, I’m now 22. From the bottom of my heart I hope to meet you. Have a shaytard Christmas with you. Something! I will never fully understand the psychology behind TH-cam connections feeling genuine. All I know is for the last 10 years I’ve felt like you are my own family. I’m so happy you are all reunited with Gavin. Blessings to you Gavin. Your step of faith and service is beautiful. You have raised such a warm spirited, sacrificial, and brave son. I love you all so much.
The way he threw his backpack when he saw Mom. A mother's love and support is just so beautiful and pure. Seeing them hug and them both cry speaks for itself. Welcome back Gavin.

been watching you guys since I was about 9 or 10 and I’ll be 21 next week. So proud of you elder butler and happy that ur family is back together shay!
omg same i literally cry every time i see an upload
Man, imagine your WHOLE family rocking up to the airport to meet you! Gavin is very lucky to have such an amazing and loving family :) you lot are the reason I had kids of my own. I only have the two (one daughter and one son). Would have loved to have had more but my body wouldn't be able to handle any more. Love you guys! ❤
Little baby son tard. He is now a handsome young kind man! I’ve watched him grow up ❤
This is crazy! I haven’t watched you guys in probably around 5 years. The kids are GROWN! Gavin is a full on man now, insane! Great to see you all doing so well!
I love how close all the siblings are. I live 30 mins from my brother, have seen him twice this year, we barely grumble a hello to each other. We love each other of course but watching that sibling group hug made me start bawling and realise I need to go hug my brother immediately (its currently 230am and hes gonna get a weird ring notification at about 3am).
The kids group hug and then the individual hug to each of them BROKE ME 😭😭😭
That first hug with mom was absolutely the best. ❤
My heart cannot handle mom and dad having all their babies back together. I know your family is soaking up this time so much. Really beautiful to see so much love!
Wow many of these people I haven't seen in years! It's nice seeing everyone together all in one video. Reminds me of the days back in the past, the old daily Shaytards vlogs. And welcome back Gavin!
shaytards (and bratayley) are the first family channel I ever watched! I started watching when I was 8 or 9 and I’ll be 21 in a few months, I feel like I grew up alongside your family. I’m so happy to see you all together again, love you guys!❤️
I don’t comment on videos but this one I had to. Even if it disappears.
I’ve been watching for over 10 years, I have grown up watching this family. I cried at Avia’s video and I cried at this one too!
The montage Logan filmed not only represents the family time Gavin has missed out on but it also shows how much time has passed since some of us started watching. Everyone is so grown up now. It made me very emotional, now I’m an adult and can rarely catch time to watch TH-cam now it reminds me of when I was a child and discovering these family vloggers and watching religiously!
Very nostalgic and very beautiful. Welcome home Gavin ❤
I’ve been a fan and watching since Gavin was about 7 years old. I can’t believe he’s this grown. So proud of him! Congrats Shay and Colette!
I don’t ever comment, but so happy to see Gavin complete a mission! I watched your family as a young girl in middle/high school and learned a lot about the church through your videos. I specifically remembering you referencing a talk by Jeffrey R Holland called “A high priest of good things to come.” I listened to that talk and it changed me. I joined the church right after high school. I attribute much of my exposure to the church to you and your family. Hearing you talk about eternal families really made a difference for me.
I’ve been a member 10 years now and have 4 kids of my own, serve as the primary president in my ward and truly love this gospel and all it has given me. Thank you for being a light!
Cult
The way he instantly got calm you could see on his face when he was hugging his momma! A mommas love and comfort goes a long way
Man.. Seeing the kids grow up and realize time flies is one thing.. But when I saw old man Zeke for the first time in so long i gasped, brought a little tear to my eye. Not in a bad way, just notalgic and happy for all of you. I cant believe how long its been since the Malachai days.
Growing up with you all from 2010 until now and man it’s so touching seeing everyone’s growth. Love the shaytards and I hope you keep us updated throughout life.
So thrilled for you guys!! Looking forward to Christmas neeeexxxttt! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
This holiday season is gunna be lit!
I started watching this TH-cam channel in 2009 because my parents couldn't afford cable and man. I was 12 then, I'm 27 now. It's always nostalgia watching your videos now. Thank you for your content and letting me grow up watching you guy for so many years. Much love.
When the kids were all hugging, you could tell with every blink brock had, that he was so happy and at peace that his big brother was finally home😢 also, him hugging all his baby cousins realizing they’re not babies anymore 😢 all the feels ❤
Instant tears. I have been watching your family grow up since day one of your vlogging journey. I remember Gavin as a little
Kid and now he is all grown up into a wonderful young man. Welcome home Gavin!
The way I cried seeing your instagram stories and cried watching Avias video. I already know I’m gonna cry during this I grew up with you guys
I had the biggest smile on my face and cried watching this, as someone who’s deploying to the army in just a couple months this makes this feel so much easier thank you for sharing moments like these I’ve been watching since before Brock was even a baby thank you Shay and the butler family!!
This has such a surrealness to it. At first I thought the little girls in the beginning were flashbacks to him and his sisters when they were younger and then realized its the younger cousins. To seeing Gavin walk up looking like his father with all the compassion of his mother in his embraces. Welcome home Gavin, we can't wait to see the next season God has for you unfold.
Seeing the absolute love and adoration in the eyes of every single one when Gavin came back was something that made my year. I remember watching the birth vlog of Daxton and now seeing Gavin come home and everyone back together again was just heart warming.
Welcome home Gavin, and thank you to the Gods and Goddesses, Lords and Ladies above for watching over you.
I gotta admit, sontard is all grown up. No one stays young forever.. Shaytards will never change in my life.
Y’all have come so far! From the kids sharing a mattress and rooms to THIS ❤🎉 …remember the first pregnancy they vlogged??? I literally just had my first baby…time is mysterious. Thank you for sharing your story ❤❤❤
Okay but seeing the kiddos all grown up is so wild. Love you guys! Congrats, Gav! 🩷
He looks so handsome and well mannered, you guys did such a great job raising your children. I've been here for years watching your beautiful family grow and learn together, dreaming about my family one day. Sad to say this day is yet to come. I'm not Mormon but I've learned so much from you guys, God bless you all!
The younger siblings running to Gavin and then closing their eyes just absorbing Gavin's presence was precious. Brock looked so peaceful 😭🥺
2 years has gone so quick, I cried watching him go on his mission and I’ve just cried watching him return home. Your whole family dynamic and love is just something else, welcome home Gavin 🎉❤
No way its already been two years!! That's crazy, welcome home buddy❤️
This is soooo touching. What a supportive family, I want my kids to feel this love someday too. Great job, Shay and Colette!
i love this family forever. thank you for letting us grow up with y’all.
I’ve cried during the whole thing, it’s amazing how two years have flown by. He’s all grown up.
15:07 holy cow this house is so huge 😂 what a lovely vlog love this family since 6 years old and always felt i was apart of it and im so glad there back together
this makes me happy. thank you shaytards for all the great videos over the years.
9:29 hes a man now 😢 welcome home gavin! 😢😢😢😢😢😊
Good for him, happy for yall. Lets get this new chapter started
I was WAITING for this video!! I grew up LDS and videos like this always make me tear up. I’ve watched your videos my entire childhood. (Quite literally more than half my life) and this makes me so proud 😭❤️ I love you, Shaytards. This video made my entire day!
This has me sobbbinnggggggg! This is the most beautiful video I've seen all year. Thanks Shay for always sharing your family with us! You don't have to but you do! And have for over 12 yrs (which is crazy!) I love y'all!
im 34 now and i think i was 18 when i first started watching shaytards. its insane how much gavin looks like shay.
I could watch this all day! Logan did an amazing job at getting great shots! What great memories! So nice seeing the whole family there to support this amazing young man! Let the fun begin!!
Have been waiting! Thank you for sharing such a special moment welcome home Gavin
Antonio 😂 Casitllo
Welcome home Gavin. Talk about such a sweet and emotional sight seeing Colette and Gavin finally getting to hug after two years I just sobbed and couldn't imagine. I love how y'all's family all came out. The world needs more Shaytards again.
Welcome home, Gavin!
Man this got me right in the feels. Sobbing. Ya’ll were a huge part of my life during some very formative years. Forever grateful. ❤
Big family. That’s real wealth!
The way that Brock, Daxton, Avia and Emmy look at Gavin, is so awesome and special! I can't stop crying. Shay and Colette, you have such a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing this special time with your family, with us!
Crying!! Please more vlogs with Gavin home!!!
Def cried. Proud of you young man. Glad your loved ones came to welcome you home with so much love. You did well.
i love you guys ❤❤ i’m bawling
I just cannot believe that sweet little boy is a man. So so proud of you all. Gavin you are incredible. Shay and Collette it’s been a privilege and honor to watch your family grow. I must’ve been 15 the first time I watched a video. I’m 31 now. You guys have shown me what a stable loving family looks like and I know the same is true for so many. Gavin you are such a light and look so grown up! I can’t imagine the adventures and good you’ve done in the last two years. Just amazing to be let into this touching moment
This is beyond hearbreaking & sad. Two years are lost to precious memories these young people will never get back, for the sake of religion.
@@annakatie7347 I completely agree with this statement but that’s their life and their own business. I’m far from religious and I believe is pointless but if it makes them happy than that’s great for them
But religion doesnt tear families apart, it has Gods blessing....😂🤔🤔
It’s crazy to see how everyone has grownup. From Shay and Colette with the kids. To even Logan and Carly looking so much different than they used to. It feels just like yesterday that everyone was so young and I was watching the Christmas specials
hes lost so much weight. and really looking like his dad now when shay was younger
SOBBING!! What an emotional moment. Thanks for sharing this with us. I’ve been here since the very beginning of the shaytards and wow… Gavin has grown before my eyes, such a proud moment. Glad the family is all back together ❤
I'm glad you made this video, it reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to good home, $80k bi weekly and a good daughter full of of love
Hello!! how do you make such bi-weekly , sometimes I feel so down of myself because of low finance but I still believe God
This is what Daisy Clara does, she has changed my life.
Wow! I know Daisy Clara, and I have also had success...
Absolutely! I have heard stories of people who started with little or no knowledge but managed to emerge victorious thanks to Daisy Clara.
Please what’s her contact information?
man did this ever make me cry... been watching since no smiling on the teacups (i was in middle school) and i swear this family helped raise me, always there to turn to whenever i needed the kind of comfort my family couldn't provide me. it's wild to think that i grew up alongside these (big) kiddos. welcome home gavin, we've missed you!
Seeing Gavin drop his backpack and hug his mom just made me tear up. I'm glad he his home safe and sound. ❤
That bag toss and embrace got me! Between this and Avia’s video had me crying dammit!
The clip in Avias video of you (shay) and Gavin at the airport years ago and the words you said to him…. Ouch and to this now … just beautiful. You guys honestly don’t realise the comfort you give us all . Currently going through anxiety but watching you all helps take my mind off things . 💜
I'm glad you made this video, I can recall when I was homeless and faced with many things in Life until $75,000 biweekly began rolling in and my Life went from A homeless nobody to a different person with good things to offer!!!!!💚
I'm feeling really motivated.
Could you share some details about the bi-weekly topic you brought up?
Yeah sounds impossible, yet with Christina Ann Tucker, I've come to the conclusion that financially anything is possible. I got my self my dream car 🚗 just last weekend and a whooping $320k in savings already, My journey with her started after my best friend came back from New York and saw me suffering in debt then told me about her and how to change my life through her. Christina A. Tucker is the kind of person one needs in his or her life! I got a home, a good wife, and a beautiful daughter. Note!:: this is not a promotion but me trying to make a point that no matter what happens, always have faith and keep living!!
Wow 😱 I know her too!
Miss Christina Ann Tucker is a remarkable individual whom has brought immense positivity and inspiration into my life.
I got started with a miserly $1500. The results have been mind blowing I must say TBH!!
I keep rewatching and seeing Daxton so excited to have his big brother back home is so heartwarming ☺️
The girl in a bow tooks like babytard😢 4:47
That’s one of Carlie shays sisters daughters
9:10 let the waterworks begin......... love seeing how the whole family came to greet Gavin back after being gone for 2 years. Thank you for sharing this precious moment with us all. Been following Shaytards since the beginning and to see the whole family grow througout the years, thank you again
6:13 she looks just like babytard
Ok I’ve watched this twice now as cry so much every time. The looks on all their faces says it all. True love and respect.
growing up with you guys meant so much to me, I've been watching you guys since I was 5 years old knowing I am only 16 years old, I love watching this family, I don't have the best home, so you guys have helped me with me so much. I love seeing how much everyone has grown!! :D
You are so sweet! I love that you've been watching for so long.
What a time to come home right before the holidays 🎉 Congrats on serving full time.
Welcome back Gavin! I for sure cried like a little baby 😭I cried right when he started to burst when he saw mom. I just know that the Christmas special is gonna be so good ❤ love it!!!!!!
OMG, this made me cry (happy tears), I literally have been watching the Shaytards for years, and it was so heartwarming to see everyone's reaction. Thank you for sharing this moment, you make your subscribers feel like family. I cannot believe it's been two years already, time has flown by so fast. And I want to say thank you for everything you do Shaytards , you've always been the channel to go to when I was at hard times, and also good too! Glad Gavin is back home safe and sound.
I can’t believe how grownup he looks. What a loved guy he is! I have to say this video really pulled my heart strings, seeing the whole Butler crew showing up for Gavin. They are all so loving of each other. What a great family. I’ve followed them since 2009. Crazy.
So surreal that I started watching when I was just out of high school and Gavin was so little. I’m now watching this while cuddling with my three-year-old and two month old sons. Definitely set in that this life passes so quickly and these boys are going to be grown before you know it. What a great young man Gavin has become! Welcome home Elder Butler!
Well who could keep from crying when Gavin threw his duffel bag down and hugged his mom? Not me. How wonderful to see them back together. Thanks for sharing.
this awesome! for years i’ve admired your family & how united you all are & it’s amazing that you’ve captured all these special moments 🤍
this is so beautiful. i’ve been watching this family since i was young and even remember Logan on his mission sending a letter during christmas. I’m so happy you are all together again
It is one of my biggest goals in life to meet you guys. You have no idea of the impact you’ve made on my life. Before Gavin even came on screen I was balling my eyes out while eating my dinner. Your family has felt like my own since I was 12 years old, I’m now 22. From the bottom of my heart I hope to meet you. Have a shaytard Christmas with you. Something! I will never fully understand the psychology behind TH-cam connections feeling genuine. All I know is for the last 10 years I’ve felt like you are my own family. I’m so happy you are all reunited with Gavin. Blessings to you Gavin. Your step of faith and service is beautiful. You have raised such a warm spirited, sacrificial, and brave son. I love you all so much.
