That scene of Aaron showing Arwen how to bowl is WILD because she’s truly shooting up! She’s literally growing up before our eyes! It’s wild how tall she’s gotten.
I just wanted to say, I used to be in foster care growing up, and watching these videos makes me feel so grateful that there are good people out there that truly have the heart for this. It is so good to see you guys all happy. God bless your family Crystal. ❤
You know she means business when Crystal has her hair in a ponytail. Sure enough, they had a house showing!! Also, note to self: NEVER pick a fight with Jake Pettit, he looks like he could kick some butt!! Haha lol 😂🤣
I'm glad Jaimie and Arwen get to bowl. I love Special Olympics 💕. They do such a great job encouraging everyone to be their best self. What a powerful mission. I hope your house sells.
Crystal you’re the best, always so kind and considerate of your family and other people. I’m so glad you have them to show you love and give you love because I know it can get stressful at times. You’re always so caring towards all of your kids. Grown and small. And even being there for Melinda when she was in the hospital and offered to take her to the chiropractor and the doctor until they figure out how they can help her. Your support and love isn’t over looked you’re such an amazing mom and person. It is admirable! The land party sounds awesome!! 😆 what a great way to get kids who like the computers to socialize!
Lan party for the gamers, Aaron you enjoy gaming so good idea. So sweet Jamie and Arwen are practising bowling for the special Olympics, and no reason why you and Aaron can not practice while you wait. Your glasses looked great Alex. Saw the message Mark, did Crystal and did she answer you lol. Aaron's face said it all when you were found in the snack closet. Blessings.
Boxing is like almost every other sport out there - your training your mind as well as your body. It's not just about fighting, it's only dirty if you make it dirty. And uh, sometimes exercising can help release all the dark energy people are feeling if things are stressful or they're down on their luck.
Aaron you confusion made me laugh so much with Crystal in the snack cupboard 😅. Crystal that blue top makes your eyes pop such a great colour on you ♡♡.
Yes special Olympics is very important, my brother has downsyndrome but he loves to play basketball and so when he does special Olympics basketball he gets so so happy!
I totally agree with you chrystal I can't understand why two grown men get in a ring and punch each other silly till one doesn't know what day it is stupid or what.
I can’t wait to see the younger kids grow up and see what they get involved in when they are older they are so impressive now I’m excited to watch them continue to grow together I love watching your family it brings me joy in my life that’s not full of children around me they’ve grown up and living life and not around I really loved being a mother and had so much fun during the teenage years
I'm the same way Crystal about boxing & and fighting stuff I don't get why anyone would want to get beat up etc for fun 😩. I like how Aaron opened the pantry door & was so confused 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Mark calling people out & I love it 😂😂.
yay i am early let's go I get so excited for when you guys post been watching yall since the very beginning its so crazy you guys we're called the missing pieces yay for jamie and arwen starting Special Olympics. So happy for them can't wait to officially meet arwen and see her face can't wait for the next video
Hello crazy pieces thank you so so much for sharing another amazing video I am also a Special Olympics athlete I really enjoy Swimming, Bowling, and basketball I am not doing it right now due to having cancer but your family brings me so much joy thank you for that I appreciate each and every one of you ❤❤❤
Marks comment about not getting a reply back from a text was funny 🤣 hey those dog water bottles were cool. What are they called? Good luck with the house.
We host foreign exchange students and I snap with them. When we get new students it is a way for us to get to know them and them to get to know us before they get here. Then we keep up with them after they go home it is a great way to keep up with them when they are back home and we have such big time zones
My 23 year old grandson took up boxing in highschool & won many trophies. At one time he was the youngest boy to take the title in Nationals. He teaches boxing along with his regular job.
OMG the look on Aaron's face when he found you sending snaps in the closet!! LOLOLOL My friends and I use Snapchat when we travel, because you can see each other's locations, in case the cars get separated. Great splits and cartwheel Arwen! I've always wanted to be able to do the splits!
The snack closet SnapChat segment was ha-larious! "Bella will do anything to get out of school" LOL I'm gonna send y'all some WD40 for the squeaky doors in your house! ;-)
I know personally I have found our what teens are going thru by what they post.Reposts tell alot about what someone is going thru that they may hide and not talk about
I do a bowling league and have been in leagues for 5 years. I also did bowling all 4 years in high school as well. It is so much fun. You get to meet new people, and just have a good time. I would recommend it.
I love everything you show us!! Love seeing the dogs have fun at the park!! Where did you get that water bottle for dogs? Never seen it before. Keep doing your vlogs!! Love to you all!!
My girls are 30 and 26. When I babysit their kids I send them snapchats throughout the day. That way they don’t miss out while at work and it brightens their day too. I’m 52 and it took me some time to figure out how to use snapchat. You got this Crystal and I’m sure you make your kiddos smile when they open your snapchats.
So cool that Evie is able to participate in special olympics. Just wondering about her needs and what qualifies her if you are comfortable sharing. Sorry not sure if I missed this in. previous video
Great job Jamie your so awesome you have the sweetest personality and so beautiful I love puzzles just like you do it would be wonderful to sit and do puzzles with you have sodas and popcorn 🍿
Crystal and Aaron you guys do an amazing job!! With Social Media, it's great for the older teens as they understand how to use it safely! I wouldn't recommend it for the younger teens though!! One of the scariest things with the young generation is their exposure to EVERYTHING on Social Media... not everything is as wholesome as your channel 😕
Hi both, can I ask a question. I have worked with disabled for over 35 years and think it's wonderful for Jamie and Arwin and the Special Olympics plus, eventually, Aurora. My question is did you know Arwin had special needs when you decided to foster her? If not, has she been officially diagnosed with a particular sen?
Crystal, I was in a league like Aaron when I was younger. At the end of the season my trophy said "Gutterball Queen". I'm not good at bowling either even with bumpers I don't play well but I still try my best.
This was a fun video. I never heard of a LAN party. Can the friends interact with each other thru the game? Does all the guests play the same game? Aarons face when you he saw you sitting in the closet.😂😂So funny! I think boxing is more than punching each other. Which I don't get. But it teaches young people & grown ups, endurance, stamena, coordination, patience, self control (not letting yourself get angry) & how to stay focused. Hanging out with teens is good, makes them feel special because you take the time to care about what interests them. Which is great!
How fun for Jamie and Arwen to both do bowling! I love how your family is so close and the older and the younger kids are doing so much together!
That scene of Aaron showing Arwen how to bowl is WILD because she’s truly shooting up! She’s literally growing up before our eyes! It’s wild how tall she’s gotten.
i love how confused aaron was when he saw you in the snack closet lol
Aaron smile says it all!!! He's so proud of his party! Love it!
I just wanted to say, I used to be in foster care growing up, and watching these videos makes me feel so grateful that there are good people out there that truly have the heart for this. It is so good to see you guys all happy. God bless your family Crystal. ❤
Hey Crystal, I just thought I’d let you know. I am a former special Olympic athlete, I did bowling basketball swimming volleyball and track and field.
lol! Hannah loves the word “like” from time stamp 13:09 to 13:30 it was 12-14 times 😂hugs!
I notice that heaps of Americans say. " like" alot.especially I noticed in this video.
Maddie loves the water. The way she jumps in is hilarious. I remember seeing her go down the slide.
I just knew it! Aaron is a party animal! what ever kind of party usually means happy times and Aaron's just the guy to throw a good party!
You know she means business when Crystal has her hair in a ponytail. Sure enough, they had a house showing!! Also, note to self: NEVER pick a fight with Jake Pettit, he looks like he could kick some butt!! Haha lol 😂🤣
Low ponytail..og viewer right here too🤗🤗
Grandma Joanne is the best 👌🏻 xxxx
❤100%❤
Congratulations again on your Cheer Choice award, you guys and Crazy Middles deserved it so much! Much love from Wilsonville Oregon
I'm glad Jaimie and Arwen get to bowl. I love Special Olympics 💕. They do such a great job encouraging everyone to be their best self. What a powerful mission. I hope your house sells.
Cute how Jamie and Arwin have a close bond
The way Crystal lights up about snapchatting the kids. It melts my heart. I also find it funny🥰😆
Crystal you’re the best, always so kind and considerate of your family and other people. I’m so glad you have them to show you love and give you love because I know it can get stressful at times. You’re always so caring towards all of your kids. Grown and small.

Your mom is the sweet mom ever......she take care of you guys
I love Joanne so much such a pure. Sweet lady so much like my mum, but I feel so much love for her❤❤❤❤
Crystal, you would learn more about bowling as you go and get better as you progress. Bowling can be so fun. Just give it a try.
Love watching your family. I don't think you ever shared why Arwen qualifies for special olympics.
So excited for her adoption vlogs and new name!
That’s what I was wondering also!
Lan party for the gamers, Aaron you enjoy gaming so good idea. So sweet Jamie and Arwen are practising bowling for the special Olympics, and no reason why you and Aaron can not practice while you wait. Your glasses looked great Alex.

Sweet Arwin. So talented! Jamie too!
I totally agree with you chrystal I can't understand why two grown men get in a ring and punch each other silly till one doesn't know what day it is stupid or what.
I agree. I never understood why anyone would want to do that to someone else 😕.
Not my thing either. Sorry guys.
I also agree. Makes me physically ill just watching people beating each other up.
I can’t wait to see the younger kids grow up and see what they get involved in when they are older they are so impressive now I’m excited to watch them continue to grow together I love watching your family it brings me joy in my life that’s not full of children around me they’ve grown up and living life and not around I really loved being a mother and had so much fun during the teenage years

Holy moly! Madies jump into the pool is super impressive!!
Good Job Arwen doing the splits and cartwheel in jeans!
My #1 favorite thing to do is field hockey #2 Softball. Is Bella doing softball this year?
Hey everyone. Hope you’re all having a wonderful Tuesday! And a great week ahead!
Hello crazy pieces thank you so so much for sharing another amazing video I am also a Special Olympics athlete I really enjoy Swimming, Bowling, and basketball I am not doing it right now due to having cancer but your family brings me so much joy thank you for that I appreciate each and every one of you ❤❤❤
Mark's edit mentioning waiting for Crystal's snap back is hilarious to me because my oldest unread message is from May 2021. 😅 RELATABLE!
I hope there is an adult or a teen out there watching the kids in the pool!!!❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️
Aaron’s face when Crystal was in the pantry 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You've got a unique voice, keep using it to make an impact!
I have special needs and I used to be part of special Olympics in Arizona
Looks like Arwen is getting taller!! Good job with the splits and cartwheel. She should get into gymnastics.
Marks comment about not getting a reply back from a text was funny 🤣 hey those dog water bottles were cool. What are they called? Good luck with the house.

😂The look on Aaron's face when he found you in the snack closet was priceless 😂😂😂
Arwen. She needs gymnastics. Drill team. Cheerleading. That girl is good. Love nursemarla 😊❤️😊
Looooool i loved when Aaron caught crystal in the snack closet 😂 like a parent catching a child 😂😂😂😂😂
You totally need to get Arwen into gymnastics, she's really good.
Literally laughing my butt off at Aaron catching Crystal on the snack closet 😂😂😂😂
Jamie is a sweetheart
OMG the look on Aaron's face when he found you sending snaps in the closet!! LOLOLOL
My friends and I use Snapchat when we travel, because you can see each other's locations, in case the cars get separated.
Great splits and cartwheel Arwen! I've always wanted to be able to do the splits!
Mark you are hilarious! Hope you get a response soon. 😂
Love the quick note from Mark waiting on a reply to his text to Crystal from April 6th(?)! 😅😅😅😅😂😂
🤣🤣🤣. I love the tidbits from Mark in the videos. Get Snapchat Mark! 😂😂😂.
The snack closet SnapChat segment was ha-larious! "Bella will do anything to get out of school" LOL I'm gonna send y'all some WD40 for the squeaky doors in your house! ;-)
My senior year in high school, my friend Liz and I were Pickle Ball Champs in our PE class! We came in second for badminton.
Do you watch the teens social media accounts to monitor their mental well being and what they are feeling?
She talks to them a lot. She’s mentioned it in previous vlogs
I know personally I have found our what teens are going thru by what they post.Reposts tell alot about what someone is going thru that they may hide and not talk about
I do a bowling league and have been in leagues for 5 years. I also did bowling all 4 years in high school as well. It is so much fun. You get to meet new people, and just have a good time. I would recommend it.
Aaron what are you doin? Love it made me laugh so much
They are going to love Bowling my son was on his high school bowling team four years.
Those glasses are nice Alex! They’re very clear and shapely! I like the wide range view
When he walked in on you in the snack closet. FUNNIEST INTERACTION EVER LMAOOOO
I love everything you show us!! Love seeing the dogs have fun at the park!! Where did you get that water bottle for dogs? Never seen it before. Keep doing your vlogs!! Love to you all!!
I wonder about the water bottle for dogs as well
Search for: water dispensing dog water bottle. There are some on Temu for around $6. and same or similar other platforms if you prefer.
Jamie with the demon slayer shirt is awesome. My favorite is Nezuko😁
My girls are 30 and 26. When I babysit their kids I send them snapchats throughout the day. That way they don’t miss out while at work and it brightens their day too. I’m 52 and it took me some time to figure out how to use snapchat. You got this Crystal and I’m sure you make your kiddos smile when they open your snapchats.
Jamie I have the same water bottle as you but mine is the clear stones. I love it and get so many compliments!
Mark reminds me of your momma the way he talks so soft
I’m in special Olympics in Alberta Canada in doing 5 pin bowling and bocce and soccer and golf floor hockey I’m doing special Olympics for 32 years
So cool that Evie is able to participate in special olympics. Just wondering about her needs and what qualifies her if you are comfortable sharing. Sorry not sure if I missed this in. previous video
Y'all and the crazy middles should have a huge kickball throw down at a nice local park somewhere. Maybe family picnic
Lol @ Aaron "um.....ok?"
Hi Crystal, I like your make up foundation, do you mind sharing the name of foundation brand, thank you
Great job Jamie your so awesome you have the sweetest personality and so beautiful I love puzzles just like you do it would be wonderful to sit and do puzzles with you have sodas and popcorn 🍿
Hay Crystel love it 2hen u snap chat with your kids lol😅😅😅Its neat how thay got new things out there for us parnts And kids
I love his response in snack closet
LAN party! My first experience with one was much like yours, Crystal! I didn’t stay long.
Alex looks so nice with the new glasses!🤓
Crystal and Aaron you guys do an amazing job!! With Social Media, it's great for the older teens as they understand how to use it safely! I wouldn't recommend it for the younger teens though!!
One of the scariest things with the young generation is their exposure to EVERYTHING on Social Media... not everything is as wholesome as your channel 😕
I loved the dogs jumping in pool!❤❤❤❤
Special Olympics is such an amazing organization I do softball basketball and bowling
Bella: what you don't love me
Me: girl you funny 😂😂😂
I also love Be Real. It's more for yourself to see what you're doing at that moment of time.
This vlog brought joy today
Aaron finding crystal in the snack closet 🤣🤣🤣
Its great Jamie and Aurora can spend time together also that siblings can b together😊
Honestly I saw your house tour on TikTok lol I recognize the house and backyard
Snap chat is the best. That’s how I keep up with my grand babies and my kids. My brother in law won the gold in bowling for Special Olympics. … Ellen
My son loved special Olympics when he was in school. He liked bowling.
Hi both, can I ask a question. I have worked with disabled for over 35 years and think it's wonderful for Jamie and Arwin and the Special Olympics plus, eventually, Aurora. My question is did you know Arwin had special needs when you decided to foster her? If not, has she been officially diagnosed with a particular sen?
Alex i love your new glasses 😍
I didn’t realize Arwen has a disability.. good that a few of the siblings found something they can do together
I get why some people don’t like boxing. But it’s a good workout. I enjoy it. I also love UFC.
Also, LAN parties were awesome!
Crystal, I was in a league like Aaron when I was younger. At the end of the season my trophy said "Gutterball Queen". I'm not good at bowling either even with bumpers I don't play well but I still try my best.
This is so cute. My boyfriend would love this but all his gaming friends are outta state :( I have to plan his next birthday like this!
Me and my mom had almost 2000 day snap streak before she passed away I loved it
I did LAN parties. Counterstrike We had a clan. 😂
That’s too funny about the “party”. I married a computer programmer. And I tease him all the time. We are completely different but somehow it works.
I love Alex's glasses alot.
Two of my nephews have similar glasses to alex they must be in style all over
This was a fun video. I never heard of a LAN party. Can the friends interact with each other thru the game? Does all the guests play the same game?
Aarons face when you he saw you sitting in the closet.😂😂So funny!

Those glasses Alex are from the 1970’s!! I used to be embarrassed of my parents and uncles when they wore glasses like those. Lol
I heard Halie mention Penny, but I thought she had 2 pups.🐾
That’s for Halie to answer on her channel
How lovely Jack is in to boxing. My daughter is begin training in boxing. She love it.
😂 i want one the boxing like jake playing and to get my anger go away 😂 lol
