We Have Each Other ║ Large Family Vlog │ Summer Break 2018

This video covers from July 16 (when we got home from Oklahoma) to July 31. What struck me as I edited was seeing so many different life stages and how families support each other no matter which stage you're in. During this two weeks, we potty trained Claudia and she had all of her sisters there to model for her and cheer her on. On the other end of the spectrum, Grandma Fern had a mini stroke and needed some physical therapy so we spent many, many hours sitting by her side. We celebrated Grandma Jane's birthday by having a little barbecue and sprinkling her ashes under the big trees outside her home. It was a time to reflect and remember her with those who owe her their very lives, as well as a time of fun and being together. (Tom gave Grandpa Frank a fun joyride in his wheelchair!) Somewhere between those stages are Papa Gary, with whom the boys spent lots of time working at his property, Grandma Kitty, who had us out for a fun game night and Tom & I. We celebrated our 19th anniversary during this two weeks. There are lots of visits I don't get any video of, but I did get some one day when my sister, Bethany, spent the day with us. (She's going to have a baby in the spring!) We also went to the Crook County Fair Parade with my sister, Ami, and her kids. Normally, we spend the night with Grandma Fern before the parade (a tradition we started back when my mom was still alive), but this year we had to forgo the sleepover since Grandma was in the hospital. I suppose that little tradition is probably over forever now. Old routines go away, but there are always new ones to put in their place. The kids and I have been trying to settle into a new summer routine with breakfast on the porch followed by working in the yard/garden, time spent with our "clubs," and we switched to do chores before bed instead of the morning. Everyone pitches in with a few chores at lunch, too, and it's been fun eating produce from the garden that everyone has helped to grow. Of course, life has lots of time for play with friends and siblings, sleepovers, trips to the library and just plain "hanging out." (We had fun taste testing all of the strange sodas that Tom and I bought on our anniversary with the Reeves family.) Old water pipes are being replaced with new water pipes in our neighborhood, good habits are being reinforced with reward charts at our house and we're learning all about The Hidden Life of Trees. It's amazing to learn how trees are really a community and it makes me see our own community and family in a new light. When Thomas got bit by a dog at work this week, I saw how much people care in our little town. The people Thomas works with were so supportive and the police were so supportive. I'm thankful it all turned out all right and the herbs we used on Thomas' face healed his wound so fast! Thank you, Lord, for blessing us with each other and bountiful provision.

Watching a week after Andrea passed. Well, rewatching....my heart broke when she was making tea talking about her lymph system. She did everything right. I know life’s not fair but this really shows you how unfair it is. Prayers to Tom and kids 💙

[@indigoblue4791]

@Diane Monaco Monaco Of course they are or Andrea wouldn't have taken them or made treatments for others. Using herbs for health and healing has a history nearly as long as mankind. You could spend a lifetime researching the ancient and more resent knowledge on herbs and other plants used as medicine. It would be time well spent too in my humble opinion. 😊♥

[@bonniescott6470]

Diane Monaco Monaco I was thinking that about herbs 🌿

[@paigebanks7552]

I don't believe that herbs and "home medicine" had anything to do with her death. Inflammatory breast cancer is so rare and the cause is unknown. Having said that I do feel that herbs, barks and plants are all potentially dangerous without the proper knowledge. I think Andrea was conscientious about her knowledge and experience, which may not be the case with everyone. It seems to me (imho) that there are multiple sites selling natural remedies, essential oils, herbs etc with no dosage, concentrations and ratios. Side effects, contraindications, and warnings aren't included on all sites. At the end of the day, naturopaths, medical doctors and advanced practice nurses spend 8+ years in university and 4 additional years in residency and practical experience. That isn't the case with non-professionals and those with a curiosity but no guidance. It just requires extreme vigilance. "Natural" is not automatically safer or better.

[@sherremullins3354]

@@paigebanks7552 Her mother died from cancer too, so, I'm thinking it simply could have been hereditary or something in their environment over her herbs and teabags.

[@mandybeddoes9112]

laid here watching this beautiful video breaking my heart thinking on her last months giving to her babies her family. she just lived to give to everybody she touched and still does , she just pours angel dust over everything ,everyone. life is so unfair . Andrea will live on through her children . .... " Tommy " she will be saying your best ever dad and protector and your a fantastic guy x

[@KrisFasseBooksandButterflies]

Just watching some things you guys used to do just for fun...reminds me of a couple of your "try new things" efforts. This is the Mills way!

[@KrisFasseBooksandButterflies]

Andrea's ability to be calm and teach good behavior was amazing

[@annmatthews3579]

What a lovely video.hope grandma fern makes a full recovery

Your grandmother looks just like the little girls it’s crazy 💕

Had fun watching twice already. Honestly it is such a joy. I loved the potty training part. I learn so much from you. Xxxxxxx

Why is the grandma in the hospital?

[@julietannOsfan1972]

I love how you potty trained Claudia & how Sophia got involved too. Did Claudia understand what nappies are when she watched the video? Thank you for a brill video. x

You can't keep a good woman down. Get well Grandma Fern....

[@lindyque]

You are a gentle soul, Andrea Mills! May you rest in peace in the arms of our Lord. May God bless your sweet family. You have set a wonderful example of love & patience for your children. ❤️. You are missed!

Andrea,what a wonderful legacy you have left xxxx

[@thebahamiancooknook7065]

Sitting here in tears right now. How does such a beautiful soul leave this world without being given an opportunity to watch her babies grow up? This life is unfair and sometimes so cruel. God bless you all...much love from The Bahamas!

[@donnaterry1200]

They all have my heart but precious Eden is so quiet and sweet. ❤️ The pond looks great!👏🏼👍🏼

[@missyhathaway6627]

I really felt for you when you slipped and fell at the store. When I fall (and thankfully it's not that often) I feel like it's all in slow motion, like my brain is trying to figure out how to catch myself or stop it from happening the whole time I'm going down. "TIMBER!!" And then I land like a ton of bricks! I think one of the worst parts about it is everyone else's reaction to it, like, they all want to run over to you and yank you up but your brain needs to just process what the heck just happened. I hope that for you, that is not in the forefront of your brain anymore but when you shared that, I was right there with you. Lots of hugs 💞💗💓💖💕💝💟💌

[@Kbaby8.9]

I watch you and your family and I want to better myself as a woman and a mother. You are such an inspiration! Your voice is so calming, your so intelligent and patient! Great qualities to have! Keep being you and keep posting videos! Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. Also, I’m praying for your entire family! Strokes are so scary!

[@theopkingdom3433]

I agree. I was discussing the Mills' with my husband and told him "Andrea is a much better mother than I am." She inspires me to be better. :)

[@mimikels9443]

I read the description. I will watch but I wanted to first say we are saying a prayer right now for Gramma Fern and the whole family. This is very emotional for me as it reminds me of my Gramma Fern. Lot's of love honey.

[@pjl2963]

It never fails...I always shed a tear or two when I watch your videos, Andrea; whether of joy or sorrow. I cried with you over Grandma Fern's stroke, and after Thomas had been bitten. Mama to mama, we have all been there, and could so relate to you. But it looks like Grandma is doing fairly well now? Probably thanks to mega-doses of the best medicine in the world: her loving family

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

Grandma is doing much better now. She moved into an assisted living apartment about a week and a half ago. It's hard for her to face not going home, but I think she likes the apartment well enough. There are a few people from the old days that live there, too, that she sits with at meals and that helps. I made some of Dr. Christopher's Complete Bone and Tissue ointment for Thomas to use for the scar, but he's not using it. I guess he really wants that scar! You can get it on Amazon, if you'd like to let the other family know. The only difference between that one and homemade is that my homemade version includes the comfrey that was in the original recipe. Here's a link to our Amazon Affiliate store; I put the ointment on the Herbs & Health page. www.amazon.com/shop/omegacomputers?listId=Z32R19TJ9D7Y As for what I used to treat Thomas' bite, I just went and picked some things that I thought would be helpful and then dug up a few things from the pantry. I ended up using yarrow leaf, comfrey leaf, plantain leaf, lamb's ear leaf, echinacea leaf, burdock root and garlic. I blended that up with a little coconut oil to help it hold together and then added essential oils of tea tree, eucalyptus and oregano. It looked a bit like... poo... and smelled a bit like pizza. It was odd, but it did a great job! (I also added all of those things to our Amazon store.)

[@mustwereallydothis]

It's not often I'm this pleased to have ads to watch during videos. I do wish there were more of them though. Oh well, it's a start at least.

[@debbiemorgan6701]

They call them mini strokes but for anyone that has had them mini is not a good description. I have had several, it was such a major thing to me, 12 years later I walk with a cane. Seeing you with your Grandma makes me think of mine. I have only good memories. Grandma's are good things. Happy Anniversary! My husband and I will celebrate 43 years in March. Of course you cried, Thomas is your son. We mothers do not like to see our kids hurt. I am praying for Thomas and that the dog owner is found and made to take responsibility for her dog's actions.

[@mirandawyatt356]

Praying for you and your family my birthday is on the same day you guys got married

[@watermelon9313]

🙃😊😜

[@watermelon9313]

Hi i hope she is ok

[@treehousewood85]

I’ve been watching KZbin videos trying to learn how to sew so that i can make alterations to my own clothes. One of her videos popped up about how to shop for fabric at a fabric store. It was actually a really helpful video compared so many others that I’ve watched. Then, maybe an hour later another video of hers popped up with a title suggesting that she died. It was so unexpected and made me a lot sadder than I would expect to become for someone you don’t even know. Maybe it’s because she just seemed like a genuinely good person and had such a large family that needed her. I’m not a religious person by any means and I honestly feel a little weird writing this, but i really hope this family continues to heal and i can’t even imagine a person that so many heavily relied on and loved just becoming absent from their lives out of nowhere. So many parents leave their childrens’ lives and those children only have a couple of photos and some stories, but having all of these videos is such a gift. Her grandkids and even great grandkids will know who she was and hopefully see what a good natured person she was. This family is in my thoughts and I wish them the best. ❤

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

Thanks for taking the time to write! I’m so happy her videos are still helpful. She always said she wanted to make the videos she would want to watch. Healing is slow for me, but the kids seem to be doing fairly well. It was the worst thing that’s ever happened, but life goes on, and we keep ushering in the next generation!

[@angelbasham6631]

Such precious memories she left for her children

[@NanNan-md6gm]

12:49 That's what she used that little iron for that you use for putting the color coded colors on the kids clothing Tom. Sealing tea bags!

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

Sure enough!!! God I miss her....

[@elizabethcarver9902]

Sophia is sooo sweet!!! She has such a precious heart!!

[@tonya6458]

That was funny what Thomas said to Asher after he got home from work, “You didn’t cry for me Asher” #brotherslove😉😊

[@ChrissaTodd]

that's cute i also loved his interaction with claudia playing along with her frog game lol he is such a great big brother to all his siblings and it's nice when they show the interactions.

[@brittanylloyd6369]

I so love and appreciate all the hard work you put into filming, editing and posting these videos of your precious family! In case anyone hasn’t told you today, YOU ARE APPRECIATED ❤️

[@amandakramer2635]

My prayers are with u all beautiful family....watching and appreciating the legacy she left....if my tears could only be some form of support for you all but as Christians suffering is part of Gods plan of transformation for us....HE WILL USE ALL THINGS TOGETHER FOR GOOD. HE GOES BEFORE ALL THINGS AND IN HIM ALL THINGS ARE HELD TOGETHER!!

[@msmaep123]

Tom made a really good comment the other day . You said she made the videos for us I think she did Tom there is so many lessons to learn from what she says it hurts but I still feel able to watch them xxxx miss you Andrea but so glad I got to know you all via the videos Mae from Oxford England

[@kellihammond4956]

Kitty is Tom's mother? No way

[@KrisFasseBooksandButterflies]

I love how Andrea did life with the kids and showed the flow of life with the kids. She seemed to so enjoy just being with the kids

[@bonniemarshall8824]

A beautiful video that shows so many beautiful family moments. Extra long but had to see it all. Sadly, in comparison, we were a military family of 10. My parents showed little affection...and a happy family time was rare. Andrea really gave her all to all of her family, including extended family. And she did it all with Love. Precious family, each and every one 💞

[@kjlouisi4630]

So sorry to hear about Grandma Vern and glad that she is doing so well. She is such a beautiful lady inside and out. Baby Hannah is just the cutest baby and doing all the cute things!! Congrats to Claudia for throwing away the diapers and doing such a good job at the potty!! Sophia is such a wonderful big sister to Claudia. All the children are wonderful, thanks to the good teachings and examples from Mom and Dad. Enjoyed the pop taste test!! Such odd flavors, never new!

[@pew9277]

Claudia is so cute and growing up so fast and Sophia is a sweet big sister. You are so blessed with such a loving family. Praying for grandma Fern. God bless you all.

[@KrisFasseBooksandButterflies]

Hey Tom, I am still trying to rewatch all the videos since y’all monetized them.A meal Andrea cooked was steak,rice,grilled squash,salad,carrots and grapes. I knew I remembered her fixing lots of fruits and vegetables.She is also potty training Claudia and you were so proud. Sweet memories. God bless y’all.xxooxx

What a blessing to still have your Grandma Fern, what a lovely lady! Praying she is doing better 💜

[@leslieiannottacronin2176]

I’ve been watching for a little over a year. Different things come to me each time. Recently, I’ve thought about Eden, such a sweet, gentle soul. I would have loved to sit with Grandma Fern. That’s my favorite age group.

[@noramcnabb1361]

The night before school at 1132 right before I try to go to bed I get a notification

[@debbieomi]

So wonderful to read at the end that Grandma Fern is as feisty as ever and doing good! Do you think she will be able to continue living alone once she is released? My family is facing those kinds of discussions now as my mother has congestive heart failure and is not eating or taking her meds as she needs to even when there is someone there every day. Right now she is in the hospital to get fluid off her lungs so we're talking with her as she will to see what she wants. Hannah sure did find her voice, and laugh, over the summer! And Claudia certainly didn't lose her sass. lol I LOVE the way the kids thank each other for their contribution of produce in the meal. Such a great life lesson! I think all of understand and empathize with your emotion over the dog bite. Doesn't matter how old they get, our babies are still our babies. :-) Such another fantastic and long vlog. Loving them!

"Yeah, but it's a dog and it's 'bark'." Oh. My. Word. That was funny. I used to be a Buttered Popcorn fan, but then for some reason they started tasting like rancid butter to me. Now I am a Juicy Pear girl all the way.

I’m so glad Thomas is ok but I couldn’t help but laugh at the fact he’s hoping for a permanent scar 😂. I’m also praying for a full recovery with Grandma Fern, she’s such a sweet lady, I will keep full faith and I sure hope you get to continue the sleep over tradition next year xx. As always it was lovely “catching up” with you and your beautiful family, thankyou so much for sharing your life with us all! Oh and let Claudia know that I’m very proud of how well she’s doing with potty training! Sending lots of Love from over the pond in Australia ☺️

[@robindorsey7579]

Prayers for Grandma Fern! I love when you have her in the videos. She’s a wonderful lady. My grandmother is going on 90 and I miss her (I’m from Maryland originally and we live in Colorado now). Also I love that you guys tried all those sodas. We have a candy store nearby that sells weird flavored drinks like that and we haven’t been brave enough to try the Buffalo Wing and Sweet Corn sodas!

[@stefaniehoover994]

Strokes are the worst. My mother had a major one a couple of years ago. She now has to use a wheelchair. It’s heartbreaking. Prayers for your Precious Grandma Fern.

[@chrisdeecaregiver2]

Hi Andrea, this was a bittersweet episode, watching little Hannah grow and seeing one of her first laughs and in the same vlog watching Tom's GrandMothers ashes being scattered and the fallout from Grandma Ferns stroke. Life unfolding... as it does, whether we want it to or not. Through it all I thought of how blessed you all are but especially how blessed your husband and children are to have you. I can honestly say that if every child had a Mother like you our world would be a far saner, happier, place for all. God bless you friend !

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

Last night I felt really down when I went to bed and I told Tom I think it was from editing the video. Since I usually only do one week at a time, I don't get such a big dose life unfolding all at once! There were so many emotional moments in it that got to me.

[@kattieanderson5809]

[@ItsAWonderfulLife]

What an emotional summer your family has had. Grandma Jane's memorial was beautiful.

[@beckymoorehead1964]

this one was a hard one to watch especially that conversation andrea and her grandmother had

[@jcbmama5016]

Grandma Fern is in my thoughts. I'm rooting for her, on her road to recovery! I teared up listening to your family share the sweet memories at Grandma Jane's birthday/memorial. And also in empathy for you, when Thomas was injured by the dog. Did they end up finding the owner? Watching the girls go through the phase of potty training and manners brought memories back of how I used a very similar reward system with my two children. Except we had a large tree and each day we started out with it bare. The blossom's would be earned with sweet behaviour ,and with rotten apples for poor behaviour. At the end of the day we would see if our tree had more blossoms than rotten apples. At the end of the week if there were more blossom days than rotten days they would get the toy on top of the fridge. Otherwise we would work towards those better days the following week! My two were 6 and 3 when we introduced the tree and now , many years later they still recall how much fun it was to count the blossoms! Kids really do bring out our creativity! How is big girl Miss Claudia doing with her training and gumballs? Miss Sophia has grown up so much! What a great big sister being Claudia's potty buddy! As always Andrea I enjoyed your video! Thanks for sharing! P.s. Hannah's little giggles are precious❣️

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

The gumballs have been working well, though I should've thought through the idea of giving them gum before bed. :) I bought a little gumball machine and some tiny gumballs to make it not so bad. :) They did find the dog owner and she confirmed the dog had its rabies shot. I don't know if she got any sort of a ticket or not.

[@lruss5050]

Sweet Grandma Fern! I had seen a comment quite awhile ago about your Grandma having a stroke and that really worried me! God bless your family!

[@Sagemumma]

Do u still have the little garden ?

[@melissaharding8102]

[@brielynn]

Sending hugs, prayers and positivity to your family. It’s rare that people take the time to sit and talk with their grandparents or elders anymore. I loved hanging out with my grandparents and listening to their stories. My one regret is that they will not be around to see me get married and have children. But I have tons of wonderful stories and memories to pass along as I am sure you do Andrea.

[@cindyreid7892]

Such a sweet video .. tough laws in Alabama with dog bites . They would have put their dog up at a vet to make sure no rabies . If you can’t find the owners , Drs will strongly suggest Rabies shots ..I’m sure you all have the same laws too .. that was a nasty bite too .. my daughter bitten twice . But we had to track down the owner . I had to find one of them . Also we had a dog that nip you heels when u turned away if he didn’t know you .. we had a fence with sign beware of dog and neighbor boy jumped fence to get ball I was watching out my window.. he got him before I could get there . There was a somewhat scratch with no blood but it scared him he cried they took him to dr which was fine dr office called police and animal shelter .. shelter told us if we didn’t have our dog to the vet by the end of day they would kill him have his head sent off for rabies 😳 .. and you pay for dog to be at vet .. they were serious . But when my kid got bit and took to dr they were gonna do nothing .. I was like oh no ..call the police . I know this routine .

[@joshuacreel3000]

Thank you so much for the long video Andrea, tomorrow (oops later today now haha) i have a full thyroidectomy to remove cancer and I am more than slightly stressed about it, so it was wonderful to have this bit of calm (and adorable) distraction, im glad Fern is doing much better than she was and Thomas' face is healing up nicely.

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

Joshua, we're praying that all goes well today. I can imagine you have a lot of anxiety about it. This day will be over and it will be done. (My aunt Mona had her thyroid taken out about 10 years ago. She was in the last vlog holding Hannah at Grandma Fern's house.) I also pray that whatever God's will is for you, that you will know it through all of this.

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

I'm sure you're still no where near a place to be back in the KZbin world yet, but I just want to tell you again that we're praying for you.

[@joshuacreel3000]

Andrea Mills actually, I am for the first time in my life quite grateful to be someone who has dealt with chronic pain, im sleeping a lot and the surgery was a bit complex (the cancer was in my lymph nodes as well including one near one of my major vocal nerves apparently so i couldn't really speak for a couple days and i still pretty much sound like a teenager going through puberty again if i try to make any noise that isnt just normal voice, which of course our pet cats are taking as a que to not need to respond to me because i literally cant yell haha), but im more than aware enough to be kicking around on youtube, netflix, and even some light gaming which is incredible honestly, i figured id be a zombie for at least a week or two :D. thank you so much for your prayers! and also thank you so much for helping me retain a bit of calm in this journey, I hope you understand how much good you do sharing your family with us :)

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

I'm so happy to hear that you're recovering so well (squeaky voice notwithstanding)! I lost my voice for a few days once, for no reason I ever could figure out, and it made parenting rather interesting. I suspect your cats are giggling at you behind your back. :)

Prayers and just stopping by to day Hello! Roman is 19 pounds and 3.5 months! We are back at school and going to Disney soon. (We splurged on this trip) and my Grandma is battling Lung Cancer... :( It's been crazy. I had to put my big kids in time4learning so I could teach my littles and get a few things done. It's a season of change, and I really don't like change at all. I will pray for continued healing over hour grandma. God bless!

I get just as freaked out about visiting as I do about being the potential patient :( You guys are amazing and you bless everyone who watches. You lead by example. Not many people with 3 kids would be making the drive to the hospital and hanging out, they would be making excuses about being too busy. Yet, you have 9 including a newborn and you are putting Grandma first because you recognize the value of family! ((hugs)) and prayers for you guys!!

Right there with you about those soda flavors! How fun though to buy them to have a fun taste test! Buttered popcorn jelly bellies are actually good! 🍿

You always took the time to enjoy the little things. They were also the most precious♥️
