Utah VLOG | Deaf and Hearing Family

[@relishcat]

Love seeing you guys! Love seeing Zach driving! Years ago I sat next to a deaf girl on the plane, she taught me so much during that flight! I remember ignorantly asking if it was safe for deaf people to drive and she kindly told me that some people believe its safer because they're less easily distracted! Anyway it makes me happy to see how wrong and foolish I was then :) you guys are incredible parents, and Madison is so lucky to be learning ASL early on, when her brain is fresh and ready to learn!!!

[@OurSignedWorld]

Everyone’s learning :) glad you know now

[@faunatide]

seeing your daughter pick up signs is so fascinating! im hoping to be a dad some day and it's really made me consider maybe learning some basic signs at least for needs (like how Madison was able to sign that she needed a drink!). Especially because I'm planning on adopting or doing foster-to-adopt and i think it could be very helpful especially if the child may have communication difficulties from whatever situation they were in before. I'm also autistic and have moments where speaking and verbally comminicating is very hard and I think signing could have helped me significantly in childhood. thank you so much for sharing your beautiful family with us!!

[@Asdfgqedfglo]

18:06 when Madison is talking/babbling she also signs! That’s so cool!!

[@andeesignsable]

I love Madison’s expression when discovers the 3cho. So cute

[@Kimbah9]

I love this you guys! Madison is just fearless!

[@OurSignedWorld]

Yeah she is lol

[@sanzas4834]

As a mother of a 7month old im fascinated by your toddler signing! How wonderful n intelligent

[@SP_33333]

I love you guys. Love how Madison signs, grabbing her dad's eyes & the walking stick. Adorable.❣️

This is one of my favorite places to hike. I came out to my family on this hike. It’s a beautiful place!

[@asltogether631]

Next time you are in Utah let us know, we’re always up for a hike, there are even places we have yet to see!

[@ejune12]

this is honestly so wholesome 🥺🥰

[@jacquimg2469]

The scenery is really beautiful! Your hiking skills are much better than mine! It makes me smile watching you having so much fun. 💞

[@pauljakeman]

What an awesome family you three are. And also what amazing places you went to. Gonna check more of your videos out!

[@allyoopdan991]

I love watching your family. I wish they taught sign language in school along with French or Spanish. I’d love to learn how to sign.

[@weston.weston]

Heart ❤ these three and their journey.

[@melodyrn1268]

[@OurSignedWorld]

Aww thanks for watching. Glad you enjoy them!

[@janiecefoust2421]

Loving your videos! My signing is so rusty but I am picking up a lot and refreshing my memory from your signing! It's amazing that you respond to so many people's comments!

[@madytullis6912]

This is so super cool I’m a Utah girl! I love this and I love seeing all your videos 💜💜💜💜💜

Thanks!

[@susanobrien4380]

Hi I just came across your site today and am looking forward to reading all the previous videos. Your baby is gorgeous and your youtube channel sounds fascinating. Thanks, so glad I came across it. *waves*. Susan from England. :)

Hello OurSigned World! Love your channel. Found it after the GMA segment. Like others have commented, I have a Deaf spouse. Been married almost 51 years. We have a lot of common experiences with you. I did my dissertation on hearing children with Deaf parents. The parents did not have intelligible speech and they had no siblings. The kids developed spoken English at the same age and the same way as hearing kids with hearing parents. Of course, they developed great in ASL, too.

[@hannahstringy]

Zions is one of my favorite places! So happy you got to go experience it 💜🙌

[@jerusalem4492]

So enjoyed this vlog! Glad you guys are still traveling after having Madison

[@kitsmith806]

OMG the 3of you are so adorable 💕 and Madison is one of the smartest babies❤️🥰

[@HLJlovejoy]

Love this, your family and the scenery!!

[@mg-iy7ee]

Love your videos! We have a lot in common: Deaf dad, hearing ASL interpreter mom, hearing adventurous baby girl who just turned 2. If you ever find yourselves in SW FL we'd love to meet up for a playdate :)

[@minbaridel44]

Thank you for sharing your vacation with us. Looks like it was really fun. You guys are great parents to Madison :) I enjoyed seeing all the beauty in Utah! I love your vlogs

[@SapphirasMama]

I try to accommodate as many as I can when I am out and a bout. I have an assistance dog/service dog who helps me because I have autism and she helps me with that. One day at a shopping centre someone came up to us cause he was curious about my dog. I had been learning a little of Auslan (Australian Sign Language) and when he had signed that he couldn't hear (I understand better than speak any other lanaguage) I decided to wip out my tablet. I started to talk with him through the tablet. Of course he didn't have his glasses, which of course, I then enlarged the text so he could read. I so want to learn Auslan but the other issue is that I have a pain disorder in my left arm, which if I use a lot of arm movement, I get a lot of pain from. Maybe I need to pace and slowly increase the number of signs I need to do. Pacing is doing the thing you want to do without flaring up your pain. So for example- you have leg problems and find that you can't walk for long and the pain you experience increases after 5 minutes. So instead you walk for 3 minutes and slowly overtime you increase until you can walk for more than 5 minutes without causing pain

[@M_SC]

I think it’s ok to sign with one hand only.

[@suzannehedderly1331]

Such beautiful scenery. Geology and nature is so cool! But it looks so foreign to me...everything here is greeeeen! Great video!

[@mikaylamonnie]

Thumbnail: They tried to take it from us Me, girl who lives in Utah: I don't even know what it is, but of course they did Glad you could visit our very weird (often backwards) state

[@OurSignedWorld]

Lol thanks

[@shareit8193]

She says it's also scary knowing that a rock might fall and kill us lol...that shouldn't be funny but it is to me..maybe it's because this place looks like somewhere hikers in a movie would go and get lost

[@johnkim5631]

Wonderful video. We have 4 months daughter and planning to hike around Utah when she’s growing. I’m trying to find your baby backpack’s name. I have no luck. Do you mind to share that backpack’s name? Many thanks!

[@1FlyGemini]

I just saw Madison and Dad's Target TikTok video and was blown away because she doesn't even look two years old. If you don't mind me asking; how old is she?

[@Scaminquirer]

Omg u were on GMA!!!!!

[@TrustMeIKnowThings]

Deaf husband you say? I instantly thought of how great it would be to never have to muffle the sound of a fart.

[@jefffrei4671]

Oh, she's growing up to be an avid rock climber, hiker... smart

[@OurSignedWorld]

Yup!

[@internetchocolate6733]

Love the vlogs! Also Madison is adorable 🥰 and also just another little thing, have you guys heard of SignDuo? They have a channel kind of similar to yours, you should check them out! Edit: very glad to know no rocks fell and killed you

[@OurSignedWorld]

Yes we’ve watched them :)

I can't wait to be vaccinated so I can travel again!

[@slowfire2]

Why were you walking in the toxic water?

[@StaciaAmnaber]

I never knew the sign for canyon ... now I do. Cool. Why isn't the Deaf person being voiced?

[@M_SC]

Well, you’re too lazy to learn his name even though it’s mentioned many times, but they should hire an interpreter and edit it in??? Check yourself

[@StaciaAmnaber]

@@M_SC Ummm ok

[@littlepixieme1]

Because Zach prefers to be himself - when around family that doesn't understand ASL, Court does interpret for him, but why would they voice-over for him when people can read the subtitles? The point of the channel is to point out that there's nothing wrong with being different, so adding a voice-over for him would be taking away from that message.

[@M_SC]

Who doesn’t like this wonderful family trip???

[@ngukaviayemi7568]

Thanks lots for waching the youtbue ♥️
