My Big Decision! | A December to Remember

[@LisaR2392]

Shorter hair and dance classes!!! I'm so proud of you!! No more "jumping for joy" and instead "dancing for Joy" with that cute hair!!

[@NarnianRailway]

Seeing Joy happy with the trimming results is the best and looks great. God's blessings to the family throughout 2024.

[@ashleighburroughs3581]

Gunner is the happiest, most smiley baby I have ever seen!! He's adorable!! He looks so much like Joy. Your hair looks amazing, I love it!!

[@danitapowell2291]

I love how his sister encouraged him, “you were brave”.

[@melaniebirch1808]

Gunner is the happiest baby I've seen in a long time!!! Good work !!

[@sharonlchambers3555]

Your new hair style looks fantastic! It was really great to see you being so supportive of Gideon when he lost his tooth-that is a big change for a little kid and can cause big feelings. He was very brave with the whole thing.

[@sharondoan1447]

What a brave boy! He melted my heart when I saw those tears in his eyes. I would have made my own self happy if I could have scooped your precious boy up into a big hug. Good technique, Mom!

[@Scorpio_Moonshine]

I bet Gunner will walk soon. He's having fun watching Gideon and Evie walk everywhere! He wants to join in the fun. 🥰

[@DonnaMarieMiller65]

I love your hair!! The kids are so adorable! Spending time with your hubby alone is always a great thing to do.

[@gailknowles3804]

Your new haircut makes you look so much more refined. You will find that caring for shorter hair is so much easier and it won't be as weighty so it will look fuller. I would not, however, call your new haircut "short". It looks fantastic.

[@SandyBarth1]

Short for some, might be long for someone else. It's all relative.

[@gailknowles3804]

That's is ridiculous!@@SandyBarth1

[@gailknowles3804]

Nothing is relative. Short is short and long is long. Don't be ridiculous.@@SandyBarth1

[@SandyBarth1]

@@gailknowles3804 If you had hair down to your knees and cut it to your waist, it might be considered short TO YOU. If your hair was originally below your shoulders, and you cut it to your jawline it might be considered short TO YOU. It is all relative in relation to what you compare. Have a wonderful day!

[@caradixon9247]

Gunner's noises at the end was soooo sweet 😍😍😍 I could listen to that all day! Love your sweet family.

[@Annette1965]

He wanted to talk too! 😂 It was adorable that he kept doing it when Joy was talking.

[@amandajames4841]

Hello you all, Happy New Year. Joy, I love your hair, you have such a beautiful spirit. I was sad when, Gideon cried about his tooth, but I'm glad he felt better later. Also, the children are very sweet, Evie, and Gunnar.

[@deblepley7755]

Your hair is adorable, glad to see you and the family so happy ❤

[@oceanlover6034]

I am so proud of you guys for taking dancing lessons, bravo! This is going to be one of the most threads in your tapestry that you wrap around your children! Bravo!

[@colleenyork8588]

Your hair is beautiful (long and short)! Now....HIDE THE SCISSORS in your house. Your kids know you cute your own hair and they will try to do theirs next. Ask me how I know ;) Congrats to all the kiddos - they are growing up so fast.

[@teeandkids937]

I cut my own bangs and my daughter cut her own bangs it’s hair haha if it’s going to happen they’ll find a way😅

[@paulasaxon6238]

My grandson cuts his with a nose hair trimmer. Every kid cuts their hair.

[@Annette1965]

That was my first thought when she said it to the kids. I have two girls, my youngest basically cut her bangs off at the root! I was shocked as it took so long for it to grit back in. She will be 34 this year and her hair is past her butt now.

[@boci122]

Your comment reminded me of "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" by: Judy Blue where Fudge gets a hold of some scissors and cut practically all his hair off over Peter's pet turtle Dribble's bowl

[@Imzadi]

😂❤

[@Kiymee]

My favorite family ever! Joy you are just precious! Gunner looks exactly like joy! Gideon so proud of you. Evelyn congrats potty trained! Lol joys face about tooth fairy hahhahahah we’ve all been there. Austin feel better kiddo! 💕💕💙💙💙

[@sondrabowers4837]

Hi Austin, my grandma had a home remedy, mix up equal parts of lemon & honey. Warm it in microwave for a few. Soothes the throat. Gunnar you are growing so fast, Evie your hair looks so cute .

[@jm9009]

Joy, you are such a beautiful woman, inside & out. Anything you do with your physical self looks amazing 🙌🏼💗you’re such a sweet person & I pray God’s absolute best for you, Austin & your entire family❤

[@Ldeb54]

I love your hair!!! So cute and fits you perfectly! Love seeing your little cuties! Gideon you are so brave! Happy new year!❤

[@pickypants9696]

Your new haircut is so flattering and fun! I love it! ❤️

[@trueballofwax3077]

Carlin and Evan took dance lessons too! The 4 of you could have so much fun together!! Love it!

[@deborahhopper2682]

Thanks for updating us! Your hair looks pretty long or short! The kids are growing up so fast! I can’t wait to see what the Lord has in store for y’all this year! Love Y’all! Love and Prayers Always

Joy and Austin dancing with the stars ⭐️ love it

[@dawnsherratt2317]

I would love to see that! 💞

[@dannysteeves8992]

I think that that's very unlikely but it would be great

[@daveshoemaker7137]

So glad that Joy is breaking out of her former life! Dance every day Joy and Austin!

[@Cheyenne-vi6fi]

@@dannysteeves8992 It’s up to Joy and Austin if they want to do that!

[@brneyegrl79]

Maybe it's because I'm a mom, or maybe because I'm a pre-k teacher and my eye is always on the kiddos, but I so caught that elbow to Evy's eye. Mama did too, cut the video, but that sweet apology kiss when it cuts back... a testament to good and caring parents who create good and caring kids.

[@nancyfarkas3592]

It was an accident. You people act like he deliberately hit her eye. Chill out.

[@sheriturner6118]

Happy New Year!!! Glad to see everyone is good. The children are growing so fast.

[@candimclane6739]

What a beautiful family you guys are! Congratulations Gideon! Hope the tooth fairy got to your house!Evie is a ball of energy😂! So sweet! And Gunner wants to be as big as them! Your hair is adorable! Hope you'll share your dancing with us! 😊❤

[@bailatwerski2951]

Not only does your new haircut look amazing on you but your scalp love it too especially if you began experiencing your loss or thinning of the hair which is due to stress and hormonal changes even at your young age I experience that the same thing except I waited too wrong to cut my hair which was way too long. The weight on the scalp is incredible. Your head thanks you and you look amazing!!! It looks so professional your haircut enjoy

[@carrielynn1978]

I love your hair, Joy!!! It looks so good, and you did a great job! Happy New Year and I am so excited to see what the year has in store for y'all!

[@jesb29928]

Joy, I do monthly goals. It's been good for me. Since it takes about a month to build a habit, it's a good timeframe to work on something. If I succeed, I'll add something else that seems attainable next month. If not, I'll stick to my first goal.

[@tmhaines1963]

I don’t do a New Year’s resolution I pray and ask for something God wants or needs me to work on so I choose a word. Last year was discernment. This year I feel God wants me to be Bold. This is something I am not. Dance classes sound so fun!

[@aspenenglish4976]

Gunnar is absolutely adorable!!! He’s full of sweetness and smiles. I had an early walker and he’s definitely going to be one. Gideon and Evie are such sweet and cute children. You and Austin have a beautiful life and beautiful family. Happy New Years.❤️❤️❤️

[@nadinet1224]

Happy New Year!!!! Praying this year will be be a year full of double blessings for you all, and Gunner looks like Joy 😍😍😍😍 they are such cute Kids!!

[@lisav018]

I love the haircut! I rarely do a New Year’s resolution but last year I decided my goal was to send out birthday and anniversary cards and I didn’t miss any through all of 2023. This year I don’t have anything. I don’t enjoy cooking either, but I can cook. I do meal planning 1 month at a time. It’s easier for me that way because there’s no emotion in it, just put the meals in. I always do the same type of meal on the same days so that makes it easier too, Mondays are pasta, Tuesday are chicken, and so on.

[@chessyharris6200]

Gideon I was nervous enough for the both of us 😬 I closed my eyes. I couldn't watch 🫣🤭❤ awe when he started to cry so did I . What a big boy you are.❤ Joy love your hair cut.❤

[@shellydaybutch2230]

Joy , I love you and Austin so much little family. I wish y’all the very best in 2024! 🎉😊🙏🏼

Happy Birthday Austin. I've watched you two grow up and now with litto's of your own. G-D IS GOOD !

[@annreed6977]

I love your hair. Way to go on researching how to do it, not letting that hold you back. I enjoy your videos and love your joy-ful personality.

Your hair is amazing! It would look great with highlights! Your family is so precious. All your kids are so sweet! You had such fun for the holidays! Children are so much fun when it comes to getting presents. So sorry Austin got sick. I hope everyone has a New year!

[@kathleenmedlyn]

Happy New Year everyone!! I can't believe how Gunner has grown and sitting up and pulling himself up. He seems pretty advanced. Love all of you❤❤❤

Couples dance lessons, yes!! That is definitely my goal this year!

[@juliem42]

Love your new haircut, And your kids are so adorable

[@lolaottinger3038]

Happy New Year to the Forsyths! I’ve now cut my hair twice using a YT video, I believe it was the butterfly cut. Parted my hair into two sections making the part just behind the ears, pull both parts into ponytails, first one right at your forehead and the second one a high pony, It’s two cuts! Two! Getting all the tangles out first took longer than the cut. Last time I didn’t cut it quite short enough, so going to do it again pretty soon. No point in having long hair if you’re going to wear it up all the time, and I wear it up all the time because I’m too old to have long grey hair just hanging down. It’s a far cry from my beautiful red hair! Baby Gunner is getting so big! He will be walking all over before long, one of my grands walked at about nine months, I walked at 8 months! My firstborn was over a year old before she walked, but tried to walk for a couple of months before she actually did. She never crawled.

[@carolbullard7956]

I also started walking at 9 months.

[@deborahrussell5534]

Joy, I love the haircut,it looks great on you. And you did a great job cutting it. I am so glad to see you guys back after your short vacation. Happy New Year to you all. God Bless 🙏🥳🎊

[@randomroz545]

It looked like your daughter was in fast forward on the swing 😂 that was funny! Gunnar is so smiley and adorable!! Your hair looks great! What does Austin think? I've cut mine myself and it's nerve-wracking but satisfying and saves a lot of money. I don't make New Year's resolutions. I'm just always making goals in general. We frequently discuss the goals and plans, too. It's nice to be on the same page to help and encourage each other. You seem really patient with your kids in general. It's something we all struggle with, but your kids are happy you're doing a great job! God bless!

[@susansmith6680]

Happy Birthday Austin 🎂 Feel better soon.

Joy I love seeing the Joy on your face!!! So fun! Good for you, and I love it!!!

[@jeandelaney8080]

Love your hair! So cute! Love the idea of writing goals! Thank you for the inspiration! Also another way to take a tooth is to use a cool wash rag hold the tooth with it and pull! The coolness of the wash rag helps with the pain and it numbs the tooth area a bit! Happy New Year! 😊

[@tarinflyte3326]

appy 30th Austin! Evey is potty trained-woohoo🎉 Gideon has an awesome smile. Gunner is growing fast and Mama looks beautiful with her hairrcut!

[@cindykaetzel6322]

Good luck with Gideon...lol...i say this with love! Many, many years ago, my daughter was 5 months old she was barely crawling. One day she started using a coffee table to stand and a couple of days later she started taking a couple of steps. 39 years later she has not stopped moving!

[@letmebehonest7287]

You and your sisters have always had the most beautiful hair. Mine is thin and had to cut it short to grow it healthier. Any hair tips? Beautiful family! Love your videos! ❤

Your new hair cut fits your face really nicely 👍. I cut my hair this past year. Always had it below my shoulders. I don't want it long ever again, lol. Plus, my hair thinned out majorly. As I got older. So, now it's way healthier and I don't wear it up at all anymore.

[@lindaflodin2059]

Your hair turned out so cute, good job! I thought you guys thinking about your future plans is a great idea! I'd suggest an household planner to help you in accomplishing some of those. There's so many but a couple include the features you mentioned...meal planning, Calendar, Goals, Spiritual goals and daily/weekly activities. One I like is Passionate Penny Pincher includes cleaning too. The other I've been watching her videos and blog is Laura at Get organize HQ. I love how she breaks down everything. Hope this helps

Your hair is beautiful and really is not short. Having a blunt cut will make it appear thicker and if you want some sort of style a salon can still offer you options. Happy 30th to Austin and he still is a young man🎉
