Transcripts
is that good okay hello what's up guys
um it's been a while since we just sat
down and chatt with you guys so we're
going to sit down and chat I like doing
these espe with everything that's
happened since the move and just in
general lots of live stuff lot of stuff
going on this is what we're uh working
with we're filming in front of our
window chair and a box so I always think
that's funny that um that's just kind of
here we are how we were it's very casual
guys it's as if you're sitting in the
here right across from us and we're just
having a conversation so I posted on
Instagram asking you guys um to ask us
any questions that you have regarding
our move or just live updates or family
stuff and uh we're just I I I
screenshotted them and I'm just going to
go in the order that I screenshotted
them so like there there's no order to
this we're not like trying to save like
the best questions for later or whatever
I'm just going in the order and doesn't
want I screenshot it either so it'll
always be fun to like hear yeah okay
what's first okay so what denomination
are y'all and have yall found a church
yet there's a lot of questions asking if
we had if we found a church yet yeah um
we're essentially non- denominational is
probably the best way to put it um we
just want to go to a church that loves
Jesus and where um we can get plugged
into a good Community um and that our
kids love yeah we're kind of like we're
kind of church hopping right now there's
one that we have found that we like a
lot we like all of them but there's one
that we really connected with um guys in
Tennessee there's so many freaking
churches there's like literally a church
yeah we want to try more
there's so many churches on every street
corner um so we're we haven't found like
our church home yet but we do have one
that we like for sure will find a church
yeah there's just so many uh I thought
this was an interesting question how do
youall earn money just social media
YouTube mhm um yeah and and I'm sure
it's an interesting question especially
people know that that we moved here and
and just kind of in general so um yes
most of the money that we make is is and
has been from YouTube and that's
honestly been my personal favorite
because the money just comes from
AdSense which means that the ads that
play before video you get paid for um
and I like it because we don't have to
like ask people for money we don't have
to try and like sell product that we
don't like believe in or like whatever
it is you know social media can get kind
of weird but like I love just making fun
videos yeah and you guys enjoying that
and getting paid from that then
obviously there's brand deals that are
like more direct and there's lot and we
try really hard to work with brands that
we actually really love and use and if I
be honest at the beginning that's why I
feel like we don't do that many compared
to others you know yeah like when we
first started social media you know just
being like a collge or whatever any
company that would come and say hey we
got money you want to talk about this we
like oh heck yeah are you kidding me
like over the years we've learned like
oh let's be like a lot more wise with
like what we promote how we promote it
yeah um make sure we really like what
we're promoting so all that being said
we we almost never promote product now
unless if we like have tested it out for
first and genuinely like it how are the
kids adjusting to the move a lot of
questions like that but I you talking
about um they all love it I
think Zen obviously hasn't even like
realized what's happening he's just
having the best time ever posie I would
say just totally loves it yeah right
Everly totally loves it too um I think
the only thing with Everly is she is
like Missing Her Dance Studio because
obviously we took her from her dance
studio and she's not really in her new
dance studio quite yet because it's
midseason so right now I feel like she's
missing like that studio feeling but
once she gets that I feel like she'll be
totally solid she's loving it and she's
having and actually right now the second
she's in California she's still dancing
dancing with her old studio so she's
still being able to see them and stuff
but it's an adjustment but I feel like
it's and I'm not just saying this I
really feel like it's going about as
good as it can go you know what I mean
everyone is really loving it nobody is
like I miss California nobody's having a
hard time like there were a lot of
questions and I didn't even screenshot
it but just about like like your
favorite thing and least favorite thing
about the move and it was honestly hard
for me to think about like a least
favorite thing as silly as it sounds I
just feel like we're all adjusting as
well as been a big bu so far are you
guys planning on having more kids
anytime soon or down the road I feel
like I like we talk about this all the
time I know I always so just be really
short it's kind of boring but I would
like one more kid I feel like Cole
probably would be good with the four
that we have but I'd be good with the
four that we have and if God wants to
give us one more yeah and my wife really
wants us to have one more I would love
one more I feel like but right now but
right now we are content before right
now we're we're and I'm not try anything
can happen because we love each other I
don't even have baby fever this is the
first time I have zero baby fever at the
moment we're very content with where we
are content at the Flor right now but I
do know in the future I would like one
more next question hardest things in a
relationship and how to get over them I
didn't like study an answer for this one
hardest thing in a relationship and how
to get over
it probably
[Music]
like I think I got mine you got yours
you go so I I don't know if this is like
in a Rel reltionship I mean it is but
like I would say parenting and raising
kids and and honestly that's all that
we've known I don't even know a
relationship outside of having a kid
because you know where I met you already
had everything so maybe so more like
this is going for like people that have
kids not really a relationship but but
obviously if you're you know if you ever
want kids then it's going to be part of
your relationship um so maybe maybe with
us it's going to be like difficult
whenever we don't have kids cuz all that
we know is kids you know but I would say
in general I think parents especially
just like friends that we have mentors
everything parenting and raising kids
with somebody can be really hard because
you have to raise them aligned you got
you got to be on the same team and
obviously I was raised a certain way
Savannah was raised a certain way
there's certain things that work in her
life that worked in my life that are
just different so then you bring that
into a new household and a new parenting
thing and like we're very fortunate and
very blessed that we really do see eye
to eye on I would say 99% of things
which is which is I I think pretty rare
I mean I know so many relationships like
are very different and they want to
raise this way and they want to raise
this way and then it's like it's tough
to get here yeah you got it fortunately
and that's what you know the Bible talks
about being equally yolked and I really
think on par compromise compromising I
would say is a hard thing in a
relationship compromising coming
together even to just like disciplining
your kids like how how you want to go
about disciplining them like if like we
see eye to eye on that but if we didn't
I could see how that would like such a
yeah hardship you know yeah that's good
other than that marriage is great yeah
you hear a lot of hard things about
marriage I know it's great you got to
work at it we have to communicate we
don't know everything but yeah we're
happy that was good all right are you
happy I'm happy are you
happy could be happier could be happier
next question let's
see how do youall handle the stress of
four kids so well so I kind of went from
my that this we do pretty well I say I
get stressed out more Savannah does
Savannah genuinely does so well not
getting stressed in general not just a
kid just in general she's just not a
stressful person I can get stressed out
of a work stuff about health stuff honey
that's nice so how do we handle it so
you do a good job I I I mean and I think
you do a great job for a father that is
home lots of the time thank you
especially yeah I mean we just love our
kids more than anything it sounds cheesy
cliche and easy but like obviously lives
get stressful but like even like we
spend 247 with our kids obviously we get
away for date nights and like here and
there but like we really do love every
second with our kids and then once 7:30
rolls around we really are like we're
ready to put them in bed we're like
we're ready to put them in bed because
we love each other we want to hang out
with each other but then for real once
it's time to lay in bed by 10:00 I'm
like look at pictures of them like
whatever videos we took that day and I'm
like I miss them you know like I can't
wait for the next day so it's one of
those like bitter sweet after every
parent can relate to that but that
didn't really answer the question yeah I
don't know I don't know I don't even
know how to answer that question I feel
like like it could be stressful
sometimes and then a lot of the time you
kind of just have to just like roll with
it yeah just life just oh four kid four
kids I kind of just explain to me so
well here's a rooll with it I don't know
I would say I'm big on like keeping my
word with things like I'll be like hey
if you keep doing that then this is not
happening later and then you actually
have to follow through that I feel like
a good thing to say is like you do what
works for your family will you guys ever
start posting as much as you used to not
here cuz I think at one point we were
doing like two or three videos a week
when again whenever it was just mive in
at Everly it was so easy just like yeah
go for it we got four kids now and like
everybody's dancing more and we kids but
we are doing the co and E channel that
was I I used this for you guys that
channel is really fun like the videos
are so cute me and all the kids like
when they're premiering on Saturday
mornings we all sit and wait for them
and everyone gets so excited premiering
on Saturday mornings and honestly every
and I are having so much fun with these
cuz we've been like family Vlog
lifestyle things for like a few years
now we haven't done like Challenge and
like big fun videos at time likes these
like legit videos like there's a
videographer there's something cool
happening every video there's like fun
things at the end that we rent it out
like the Nissan Stadium which is like
where like the Titans play uh like the
water park down the street guys they
like slept they like rent out a whole
water park we'll link down below it's
coming it's fun it's fun guys okay this
is a good question it said when will I
let your kids ate I think they said it
meant say when when will you let your
kids ate I feel like I don't know I feel
like I can't answer I think we might
butt heads a little bit here whenever we
cross that bridge well not because I
like want them today but I feel like you
have to like you can't be like so strict
to where they like are going to go do it
anyways and not tell you about it
crushes at school okay I'm not going to
say too much but like she'll tell me and
I'm like very open and we like laugh and
joke and like have fun together talking
about it and I know it's like little and
harmless and very I'm not crying I get
stck B allergies here but I want my kids
always to like be able to feel like they
can tell me about things and not me be
like you can't date him and then they go
do it without me you know so that's my
whole thing but but I do feel like like
a real date where he like comes and
picks her up and drives her to the
movies I don't know I feel like that's
older like 16 17 that's when I'll feel
comfortable with that I feel like group
settings of like hanging out with your
the boy that you like you know I'm going
to I'm going to trust my wife a lot and
let her lead a lot on that um because
she does she has done I don't know what
she has always done such a good job I
will probably have an unpopular opinion
and I will be a little more he'll a more
oldfashioned and intimidate the guy
um I I'm not very intimidating so with
with with the daughters I I want to let
the guy know that I am a very involved
father that I love my daughters more
than anything and nothing can happen to
them yeah with my son I will raise him
that you respect women and if I ever
find out anything bad then yeah I feel
like it'll it could be like a kid to kid
thing too you know just on maturity and
some kids are more mature at different
ages you can say also aren't capable of
answering this question correctly at all
I parent is we all are going to do
different things and we don't we're not
there yet so and we're going to mess up
whenever we do get there so that's part
of parenting but we're going to do our
personal best we will and I'm sure you
as a parent will do your best too right
okay here we go why did you guys move we
mention we brought that up but in case
you missed it you can just keep it
really short if you want to well so
we're just closer to more family being
in Tennessee that's a big one too more
family this way just in general slower
place of Life mhm um values values s
place of life like he said big one that
was a big one for me too I just I love
it here I love it here that's all really
do you regret moving
no hey how can you add a little more
suspense do you regret
moving no o this is a good
one that's I probably should
what was the real reason y'all moved the
real reason reason should we tell them
the real
reason we can't tell him the real reason
I don't know if we can tell them the
real
reason I give that word is still having
seizures we actually just po this up by
like a date the other day that it is
almost June Zeon had his first seizure
like in June his first only he's had a
couple fever no seizures several fevers
especially with his ear infection but so
but his ear tubes update on that too
have been working so amazing he has had
way if your kid get barely any ear
infections at all I highly recommend the
tubes yeah it's been so good yeah um
another Z one are you worried about Z's
development and speech at his age right
now not at all no I I I hear that
question sometimes and he's not talking
like as well as obviously posy and have
talked at that age but he's gotten so
much better I I think and I think two
things one he understands this so well
zeen is super super smart like there's
never been a time where we're like
he listens he can he can understand this
and his speech is developing so like he
used to not be able to say anything now
he can say things he's only two so it's
like still too I'm like give us a well
and I think what helped too is whenever
I'll take him to like the park or
something and like there's other boys a
lot of parents are like oh my boy didn't
talk until he was like four like no
worries like it's just super common for
boys to not talk as soon as girls do so
well and this is side tangent but I feel
like people are so quick to like
diagnose something or like whatever it
is but like I feel like you just got to
