Hearing about Jonah teaching Rosie to ride a bike makes me want to cry. So beautiful!

[@potato1084]

@Rasputia Latimore Huh?!!

[@potato1084]

Please report Rasputia Latimore she’s a nonce🤢

[@ruqayyahqadri8180]

​@Rasputia Latimore what

[@yvettejenkins1599]

Wow, I remember when you brought Benji home!!!

[@paularedden1109]

❤❤❤

[@tonjaduncan0315]

I was a child of the 70’s and we were ALWAYS playing barefooted….in the Texas heat!!! Our feet were like leather on the bottom. Wonderful memories! Your kiddos have such a wonderful place to be free and experience complete childhood!! They’re ok Mama!! 🌺

[@dotgoodwin4312]

I still don't like to wear shoes that much!!

[@Jen-zz7nv]

Same here, except in Florida. Such a wonderful time to grow up!

[@jennifer2185]

I ripped my toenail off when I was 5 by riding my bike with no shoes too close to a tree so it always freaks me out when I see kids riding with no shoes on 😅

[@kathyforgues6994]

I was a kid in the 70’s too, I was barefoot whenever I could be. As an adult I go barefoot when I can too😂. Nowadays I think they call it grounding? Or at least the population of adults who are into it.

[@ryanm7249]

@@jennifer2185 omg I could only imagine how bad that hurt.

[@Chelbsn]

I realize we only see such a small snapshot of your life, but your kids have an awesome set of parents, with a wonderfully nurturing, loving, supportive, encouraging approach to life

[@southernlycait]

I found your channel a little while ago and I just wanted to say, you’re SUCH a great mom. Obviously we only see what you put online but you can always just tell with the interactions we DO see. Like benji having the confidence to try riding the bike without training wheels just goes to show how supportive your household is. Also love how you just sit and talk to the camera. I feel like I can just put you on and it’s like I’m having a convo with a friend. Thank you for all that you share! Truly. 🩷🩷🩷

[@shannonmcrae1364]

Benny killing it on that bike! He looks like he’s been riding for 6 months! Bravo!

[@jakipiccolo9554]

Couldn't you show us a bit more of the animals pleeease? 😍 I would really LOVE to see more of them, their enclosures etc., getting to know them better. As much as I also love seeing your house, maybe it's not on purpose, but we really haven't seen much of the farm life lately, and I miss it. All the best! ❤

[@MeYou-lc7ed]

Yes, I would even love to know where they get all the equipment for their pets from, especially the house pets but also the horses! 😍

[@nooncactus]

I like the wallpaper that is partially tucked under the mirror. It’s airy, light and will go well with the green and blue also. Congrats to Benji for riding a 2 wheeler at such a young age. He’s a pro already. ❤

[@katiacleroux7376]

Urgh my heart. My eldest is on the spectrum, and body awareness is not on her radar. But somehow, neighborhood friends banded together, from age 7 to 12, and spent an entire summer showing her how to ride a bike at 4/5 years old. It had us moms in tears. She then taught her then 3 years old sister how to ride her bike (she's very gross motor advanced). Now she still has limited abilities in gross motor things. The poor kid still sinks after swimming lessons, ect, but that's one thing she now can keep up with the other kids, and siblings, at the park, and we love it! Our newly turned 3 years old is on the balance bike and just like Benji has started creating ramps and finding hills to speed down on 😂

[@rachealh5860]

The simplicity and beauty of raising kids in such a wonderful manner ❤

[@candice9757]

When you were talking about your kids being outside barefoot, that's called grounding :) and it is very beneficial for kids and adults. Ive started doing that more myself, and am sleeping so much better!

[@agathareimer2924]

Sibling love is awesome! You can hurt each other but don't nobody dare hurt your siblings. I've seen my own siblings stand up for me and we used to to argue as all the other siblings have done too.

[@aileechristian3653]

You say your are almost 40 like it’s a bad thing. Lol. You look great! You help me not be scared of growing older. Thanks for breaking the stigma that as you get older you have to “slow down.”

[@ginamcgrew9955]

Aww! Mama's baby's riding a bike!!!😮 😭😍 All the feels. I love the wall paper with the blue background best bc I love blue! But all were beautiful choices. Vlogs are my favorite!!🎉

[@sallysmith956]

Yep that is farm life and top it of with lots of kiddos and so the fun the love the laughter and sometimes tears come along. Blessings to y'all ❤❤❤

[@anjasmaal605]

My son started riding a bike when he was 3 yo. No trainingweels(1 was broken so we never put them up ) or any other bike before that. Just out of the blue. He wasn't able to use the brakes, so he just rode against a wall and let himself fall off. No crying, no screaming, just a happy confident child!

[@_Claire_Louise_]

I can't belive Benji is riding a bike! Balance bikes are the best, I had one before they were even a proper thing (at least here in the uk) because my dad took the pedals off my bike back in about 1998/1999 to help me when I was 3 or 4 and it really did, I never used stabilisers, went straight from the no pedals to riding properly

[@CaliAnimalLover]

Angie, keep in mind that no one is going to be feeling the wall paper. And also remember you’re going to want to change it sometime. So don’t make it so spendy that you feel like you have to keep it forever. Wallpaper, even luxury wallpaper, changes in time. It fades due to sunlight and if it’s near the kitchen, grease will land on it. The seams, will eventually start to separate. I love wallpaper, it adds so much to a room and a feel to the house. I just wanted to warn you. I know the thick papers are so nice, and they hide a multitude of sins. If you have walls that are very damaged, or very textured, the thicker wall papers are very nice. Like grass wallpapers. But the thinner ones are lighter and way easier to work with. Definitely get prepasted and use the sizing on the wall to prepare it. It’s going to be beeeeyouteeeefull. I like the one with the light blue background. It’s so pretty. That’s my fav. But like you said, you have eyes on it in the space. And you can touch it. But just like the sheets, sometimes the luxe choice isn’t what we want after all.

[@MsMaddy200]

Poor Kennedy. She must be extra worried after already having the difficulty with her dog. Wishing her all the best ❤

[@DRMTTJ]

Nooooooo Benji!!!!! You're supposed to STILL be a baby! My goodness how fast he has grown up. I agree with removing the darker green, I like the two on the bottom. Depending on the blue for the other room, that particular wallpaper might be good, but I really like the one on the bottom. Just light and airy and will open up your room.

[@Nobody-dp5xo]

Ive not watched your content in a couple of years, last time was when the latest human was brought home and its was lovely. Its so nice seeing him growing into a healthy, happy 3/4 years old. Your twins are so big as well. You seem like a lovely mommy, your kids are lucky :-) x

[@rhoda3573]

Benjamine is so cute overload. It's so amazing that he was able to learn to ride a bike.

[@linp1268]

Such a great chat! What a wonderful environment to bring up your children. The fun and freedom they have to run about and just be kids. Benji was just so amazing riding his bike. He was so proud of himself as he should be. I certainly hope all goes well with your animals. I see a lot of youtubers promoting the Brooklinen sheets and I decided to take your advice and I used your link to order a set. I am really looking forward to getting them. Thanks a bunch!!

[@frankiecarrel9794]

I like the top wallpaper and I'm glad you took down that once cause it was on. Looking good with what you already got done and I like what you already got done.😊

[@laurenab]

I used to cycle barefoot all the time when I was a child. Loved it.

[@sorij3560]

How fun for Rosie. I’m sure she loves that she can keep up now.

[@britaneelilly8147]

Good job Benjamin! My youngest is almost the exact same age and positively REFUSES to pedal. haha

[@juliajones2283]

Love these chatty updates. Been following you adopted Rosie and always enjoy a glimpse into your lives. very different life from mine in the UK but I wish mine was more like yours!

[@gingerpetrone]

I love the bottom two wallpapers the best. If you’re going to do a blue in the entry way, I think the blue would tie it in. But the ones with more white is brighter and will open the space more. Bring more balance ❤

[@JaZmine147]

The top and the bottom green wallpapers look the best in my opinion.

[@rilyb4033]

I really miss seeing your farm and gardening part of your vlogs 😍

[@stacyhagan4560]

The one tucked under the mirror is my favorite. BB8 is flying on that bike.😮❤️

[@Growth234]

He's gonna need a dirt bike pretty soon :) My cousin learned how to ride a two wheeler at 3 too, now he does bmx. 🚲

[@jenflowers7392]

Our son did the same at three insisted his dad take the training wheels off . By husband thought it was ridiculous at 3. But sure enough he rode that bike first time. Has always been very physical and sporty naturally

[@delindawilliams3935]

I'm so sorry to hear about your sick duck. Arthritis is tough on people much less on an animal. Yay, Benjamin! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🚴🏾‍♂I'm proud of him.👏🏽👏🏽❤❤ I love the look of the living room. That wallpaper color has been my favorite pop of color in my home for over 30 years. I look forward to the final decision on the wallpaper that you will pick and apply to your wall.

[@terrirouleau4758]

I love the wallpaper with the flowers. Haha, I always pick the expensive choice. Can’t wait to see it come together.❤😊

[@annewhittemore3771]

The wallpaper at the top that you put up first is my favorite, but I love all of them!

[@Jen-zz7nv]

Ive said it before, but its worth saying again! Absolutely LOVE the wallpaper in your room. And between you and Farmhouse on boone...im probly gonna end up with those sheets! Praying you animals are better! And YAY Benjamin! Thats amazing!

[@tamara4557]

Sorry to hear that with some animals it is not going so well. Hope Raven and Marigold will feel better soon. Sage and forrest green colours are my favourite. Perhaps mixed in with some blues and whites. I use them all year round and change for the season with new decorative pillow covers in seasonal colours. For the wallpaper I love the one with the blue background or the bottom one both with the botanical pattern. It's refreshing and combine well with the green and the blue you want I think.

[@Awifeofanerd]

I was never allowed outside without my shoes. Which is most likely why I like wearing my shoes all the time. My grandmother told me to never go outside without my shoes and the one time I didn’t listen because I was chasing after the dog. I stepped on a bee and got stung. That was the first and last time I went out without shoes, until I was older. I am letting my kids go out without shoes and I do try to go out without my shoes on occasions.

[@Claudia-df2gr]

I love the 4th wall paper you put up. Think that compliments perfectly

[@heatherhuang6404]

All of the wall papers are beautiful. I hope you find places for all If them.

[@stacyelder6183]

Hi, love watching your videos! Yay for Benji!! I always enjoy your makeovers, I love your creativity! I’ve been a follower for years and you always inspire me. My recommendation ( if you’ve not already decided) would be to go look at all the possible options ( not only your samples) now that you have the living room done. I’m sure whatever you decide will be beautiful and totally you!! P.s. love love the girls room!! ❤

[@RockLovingGirl]

Top wallpaper with flowers is my pick!

[@Arilovesearth]

Angie how about letting the goats eat the grass? Here in Philly we have Philly goats (that’s their name) and you can hire them to eat your lawn!

[@megalopolis2015]

It blows me away how big, strong, and independent he already is.

[@megalopolis2015]

@Jeena Wilder You are assuming an awful lot. Some agencies do what you stated, but the one they went through seemed thoroughly researched.

[@anitatucker8812]

Way to go Benjje! I think the blue flowered paper would be great.

[@willowgirl2635]

Keeping animals of any kind is never easy. Hard work but worth every minute.

[@monah4107]

Just some information to anyone who’s curious! The reason why it’s hard to find an exotic vet, is because small animals, birds, reptiles, etc aren’t a big part of the normal education a vet gets. So to take in and have knowledge on exotic animals, the vet would need to have specialised in exotics. Since becoming a vet is already a very long education, not many people decide to specialise more after finishing basic vet school.

[@fafa0532]

Ca plaisir de voir les enfants dans la vidéo ❤❤❤❤❤

[@jenniferfranklin479]

I remember wearing no shoes in the summer time when I was little we got new shoes when school started .

[@tuannemony8973]

I just showed my husband Benji bike riding and his comment was: ohhh my that's the baby! Sweetie, we are old. Lol I've been a subscriber since you were pregnant with the twins. And my husband would come home and I was watching your videos.😊

[@SunnyShire]

The top wallpaper is absolutely beautiful.

[@emerald_rabbit]

LOVE seeing the kids running around barefoot and happy!! My 4 year old will put on shoes when I ask and promptly remove them off 10 seconds after she steps outside 😂

[@Emily_Bower]

I love the first (top) wallpaper for what you’re describing!

[@DianaBrown-p3n]

13:10 I'll watch him! Reminds me of Parks and Rec when Leslie goes door to door canvassing and asks one lady "can the 4 year old watch the 2 year old?" 😂

[@lindasmith5190]

Enjoyed. Love to see the kids. Wallpaper choices are pretty.

[@karenallen7064]

The wallpaper under the mirror is my favorite

[@krystalgardner1109]

The dark wallpaper will look really good with the color you painted the walls

[@brookefrazier1090]

The dark green with birds!!!!!!!! The one you removed. Lol. By far my fave. The textured was my next fave. Light blue was my least fave hehe. Whatever you do will be great

[@gabriellacallahan2649]

❤ Poor duck and horse. Praying for them. Benji, aka Baby 8 is amazing on the bike except he needs a helmet. The wallpaper that is tucked under the mirror is my favorite. I always ♥ your videos!! Enjoying your decorating videos. ❤🤸🤸‍♀️🤸🤸‍♀️🤸🤸‍♀️🤸🤸‍♀️

[@ethelmcgurk5239]

13:05 She’s on it. She said she needed a helmet.

[@bublik8351]

A balance bike is the shortest way to bike riding. Once they learn the balancing part the rest is a piece of cake.

[@ElizabethWest90]

Love the room makeover Angie :) curious as to why the bedside tables are mismatched? My husband's and mine are as well but it's because he won't let me refinish his🤣🤣

[@letitiakearney2423]

The bed covers looked a lot summery look than that basil green.

[@aquiakeewinston9082]

Good Job Benjamin 👏🏽👏🏻👏👏🏼👏🏾👍🏾⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ He’s growing up so fast He makes Me think of My almost two year old grandson He’s solid and a big boy (not chubby) He looks like He’s 3 going on 4 but He’s 1 going on 2 Yes 🙌🏽 the twins are also growing so fast 🥰 I ❤️❤️❤️ It You Guys keep up the Good Work 👍🏾👍👍🏻 so happy You Guys are doing good and everyone is growing and learning thanks for the videos keep them coming GOD BLESS 🙏🏾🙏🙏🏻

[@Mia73189]

The top wall paper option looks so much like Rifle Paper Co. My favorite of the options 😊

[@gunnelsvan9341]

I would have gone with the green wallpaper with birds that you thought was too green 😍

[@Miszally23]

I like the wall paper at the bottom!

[@kamronrhodes5151]

Benji did a good job

[@amybostic1439]

My wallpaper vote was the third one you hung up 😊

[@TheRustyTrike]

As an only child I can confirm the confusion of watching sibling relationships. How do you fist fight someone and then miss them when I ground you from them? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@carriecobb8]

Hi, love the colour of the bedding! Is it usual to use a flat sheet with a duvet? I don’t think it is here in the UK. The whole point of a duvet cover is that you take it off and wash it so you don’t need a flat sheet. I think I’d get all tangled up if I had a flat sheet too 😄

[@multifishingangle2353]

I would love to see you update on Rosie pretty please please God love your family thank you

[@kamronrhodes5151]

I hope you be fine

[@amyhilyar1055]

I voted bottom wallpaper on instagram...but now I like the expensive top option 😊

[@jennifer6833]

My favorite wallpaper had the birds on it that you took away.

[@Prettygirlrock144]

Lol I’m sure being the youngest of the group has something to do with it! He’s got siblings to keep up with! So awesome

[@varitywillemse6656]

The one at the bottom wallpaper

[@amybostic1439]

I found a quick KZbin video with the easiest way to put on the duvet cover. Search it there is a trick

[@alesiaja1647]

Thanks for sharing 😊

[@deannamartin6503]

I love that green floral at the bottom! What is it called and where can I find it? Have been on a hunt for our bedroom for so long…I looked at Ballard designs:(

[@brandybird3954]

Growing up in SouthEast Texas played barefoot outside all the time. Now in West Texas, no way 😅 stickers as big as ones big toe that’ll send you to the ER 😂

[@mandyjoy2255]

Third wallpaper looks great

[@paige99]

Omg I swear I just have the expensive gene in my DNA. Because I was like "yep absolutely the top wallpaper is the best" and ofc it's the most expensive. Who can blame us for having good taste!!

[@myrnamacias8677]

Benji està grande Dios lo bendiga y a toda la familia ❤

[@pamelamaurer2076]

Not that you asked but I like the bottom choice of wallpaper

[@medyatioktarina1430]

Maybe having Ben under the wing of sportsman will make Ben a great sportsman in the future

[@paularedden1109]

I was the happiest child when my sister was born. Lord help our poor parents were afraid we were going to kill each other at times. The sisterly love\unloving feelings were quite the journey. Drop another child in there we would rebond instantly and run the interloper off.

[@lorikegley3327]

I love you lady! Videos are great!

[@Marajaid]

Can the goats be lawn mowers? I feel like yelling "Release the goats!" If it's a safe area for them... :)

[@meluvfriends]

Ngl the bedding part made me howl, Im just remembering the last debate about wether or not you washed them first 😂😅

[@mariavalino7183]

Lucky children!!!

[@AnniThing24]

One thing that I can tell you as a parent that has the capacity/$ to figure out what is happening with all the animals that as you raise your family those pets are family to us. I guarantee you that your kids will NOT SEE that in the same way. We were just blessed or are blessed to raise our family in that sense. To harden yourself now would be very beneficial.

[@msmorganPDX]

Could you share a link to the cooking mattress topper?

[@sophiaswanberg4742]

😂He ride it like he stole it😂😂. I would have left the one door in the green room, against the wall, because it is a such a nice door..❤

[@faith5387]

Well done Benji❤

[@cjkathe]

Love your videos, truly. Constructive: please look at camera. I keep looking over my left shoulder wondering who you're talking to! ;)

[@KCallaAK]

Yes Benji!!!!!!

[@hesen144]

Kids have really grown
