My Daughter's Unexpected Journey: From College Student to Circus Performer

[@thehouseofdamianfrenchie2652]

It was good to see Caden agin in a vlog. Also want to commend Caden of his respectful good upbringing by calling his girlfriends father Mr Donneey. Caden your parents brought you up well with good manner and respect for your elders and they should be really proud of you, Keep up the good work Katie

[@Momto2Bassets]

I agree they have raised a very respectable and kind young man. He seems to treat Katie really well with a lot of respect.

[@gracecook]

I think this is an American thing cause in the UK we would never do that even out of respect!

[@MrChrisbtacos]

This was soooo cool!!! 🙂 People underestimate the amount of talent and work that goes into these circus performances. Katie and the rest of her team did AMAZING!!!

[@spedoclctr]

Nobody underestimates the work required 🙄. Quit sucking up. 😅. They really don't care about what you think.

[@crazylicious85]

Good to see Caden in a new vlog! Way to go Katie & other circus performers!

[@justmeish1997]

I remember the little baby Katie who first showed up the the Bratayley vlog many years ago... Shes come such a long way and i was actually tearing up watching her perform... She should be so proud! Circus is such an incredible art form! 💚

[@Shaima_I]

YESSS!! Seeing her grow up from a little girl who does gymnastics to being an actual circus performer is crazy! So proud of her!

[@bethramsdell8758]

Katie. You are sooo amazing!! I can not stop watching the video! It’s amazing that how much you have grown since you were a little baby girl. 0-now, you have grown sooo much!! I can’t wait to see you either Oregon again in the circus, or see you do some different activity! And I love how Ryan, Brennan, and Caden all support you so much! It warms my heart to see people treating you like that. I love your blogs sooo much! Keep up the good work!!

[@Shaima_I]

My toxic trait is thinking I can do what Katie did, haha. She made it look so easy!! She's so talented and excels in everything she does!

[@e14eodell]

I love how supportive her brothers and boyfriend are. ❤️

[@paigeschannel3588]

Katie rocked both those performances!

[@angie965]

Jill, Mike, and Ryan!!!!! Thank you for taking me to the circus! I was truly amazed and SUPER nervous right along with you! I am in utter disbelief at the professionalism of these obviously talented, driven, disciplined & physically fit young ladies and gentlemen! Their teamwork was outstanding. I am so proud of Katie!! She has taken her love of cheer , disappointment in not cheering this year 😉, and turned her disappointment into a passion for other things that align with her personality. She’s found joy in the disappointment. That’s so mature of such a young college freshman. Of course your strong family unit is the underlying key to her success. This has been an emotional one to watch! I’m overwhelmed. Way to go KATIE!! 🎪🤹‍♀️🎉☀️💪🤸‍♀️

[@livinglifebornagain777]

Katie is amazing. What a talented person. She was in gymnastics, head cheer leader at high school, knows sign language, won the record for pole jumping. She has a bright future ahead of herself. I also see her getting married with Caden, who is an amazing boyfriend. They make a great couple. Last but not least, she has loving parents, siblings and great family. 👍🏻💯

[@spedoclctr]

Katie is quite the pole jumper. 😮. And quite a good athlete. Was Caden a pole jumper in high school too 😳?

[@DIDYOUSEETHAT172]

YIKES! My admiration for Katie's athletic ability has increased by leaps and bounds. 😁⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🙏 Honorable mention to the rest of the performers as well. 👍

[@jaylynya972]

As someone who does russain bar this is so fun to watch!!

[@itsthedonnellys]

Oh Wowee!! Where do you do it? And do you perform? It’s such a unique talent/skill!!

[@jaylynya972]

@@itsthedonnellys I go to a youth circus training place in Utah called "Aerobatics Circus Center". I am in their performing troupe and this is my first year performing and I love it. I am glad that Katie has found her way into circus.

[@lisajayne]

Fantastic Katie,well done ❤ It was lovely seeing everyone back together including Caden. I have to say the older Ryan gets the more he looks like Mike, plus he is getting very tall all of a sudden. ❤

[@cjbaker7628]

Having been in the circus business most of my life I want to commend Katie on her first act. This is a very hard act and she completed it beautifully. You don't see this act to often in American Circus's because of the level of difficulty and Katie you should be very proud of yourself for what you have accomplished.

[@BARBIE....26]

Y'all are soo awesome.. I cry....

[@sueh1091]

great job Katie! Circus acts aren't easy. You all did a super job! Thanks Jill for sharing it with us!

[@kristacarlson4138]

Sooooo cool! What an amazing experience for Kate! And the memories she will cherish forever!

[@haleygarner2014]

I cried watching this!! It’s so good to see Kate perform again!!

[@trinamiller100]

I love how to see Katie perform at the circus. It reminds me of the Shrine Circus that I went when I was growing up.

[@Jellybean-by8ut]

Congratulations, Katie!! You dos WONDERFUL!! That was one proud sounding mama on your solo performance❤!! Always sweet to see the family together to support each other. Mamma and daddy did great with all three of you kiddos! 🌏✈️🥂🔥

[@clarkstonhigh05]

Oh my! It is hard to believe. She’s certainly so amazing! I absolutely knew she could do it while she flips it. I love the way she flips during jumps rips because it is my favorite part. I still love to jumping Dutch Doubles ropes because it is so such easy to do. I love the family are visiting and supporting Katie what did she does in the circus. It is so much joyful came out of her. She couldn’t stop being so happy how she is! Love that!

[@michaelrodriguez5405]

Katie is Awesome 👍 I love the 🎪 I'm also happy that Ringling Brothers and Barnum Baily is coming back without the Animals of course but that doesn't matter to me because I've always loved the acrobatics part of the show, my favorite is the trapeze,but so happy for Katie and the support she gets from her family keep doing what you're doing and be happy.

Love your channel of happiness ❤

[@2ubetty]

I'm an alumna of FSU. Went there for graduate school way back when. Anyhow, I started following your channel after discovering one of your OBX vlogs. It's my happy place as well. I just want to say that I know it's the internet and everyone has an opinion, but I believe the circus will bring greater benefit to your daughter. She will be exposed to a rich array of people that might not have been accessible to her on that other path.

[@itsthedonnellys]

Thank you for this!! We will be going to OBX soon, so stay tuned. And, #GoNoles!!
