    Hi guys, I hope you see this. I heard you say Sunny is under weight, I've learned that the baby breeza formula maker has a lot of complaints that the machines do not mix the right amount of powder into the water consistently and the babies were not getting enough calories. The machines don't give the full scoop of powder in every 2 ounces of water. Try mixing her bottles by hand and if her weight goes up you'll know its the machines fault. Plus she will sleep better with a happy tummy. Love ya!

    We moved every four years at the beginning of our marriage. Moving with 6 kids was hard and I had to put my foot down and say we were staying at the next place. It is good for kids to put down roots, be involved, make friendships that last. The big one though, is that the grandparents can be more involved now, and Jack and Sunny need that more then you can imagine. They won’t be around forever. I got so much love and support from my grandparents. They meant the world to me.

    Hey Beeston Family 👋🏼🥰 Wife of an Army veteran and I just wanted to say something about your conversation about being a little fearful of the upcoming move. We moved a lot as a young family with two babies. Every time he got new orders, I was always very nervous. You don’t know what to expect, whether you will enjoy it, and what if it just doesn’t feel like home. I had to change my mindset. Home is definitely what you make it and as long as I had my husband, and our babies, I was home. It didn’t matter where because we had each other!! Praying that y’all always feel at home wherever your journey takes you!

    I swear moving away from Hawaii hits different than moving away from pretty much anywhere else. I moved there when I was 18 and lived there for many years (Big Island) and went to college there as well and its really where I kind of grew up and "came to age". Its just such a special magical place that its very, very hard and bittersweet to leave. Eventually, I felt like the island kind of had a "glass ceiling" feeling and that I had reached it and it was time to go. I still have friends that live there and I still visit every year which is really amazing! I still consider it my "heart home". I know you guys will make it work to keep Hawaii a part of your families lives and I'm glad you are listening to this calling to try something different...it won't lead you astray.

    We moved away from Utah after 2 years of marriage, and loved where we ended up. But then, 8 years after that came that feeling you described that it was time to make another change. I never thought moving back to Utah was the change we were going to make, but we did. Building your family on your own is amazing and powerful and you find a strength that is all your own. But you will LOVE being close to family again, and building new relationships. And your Hawaii family will never end. Our kids love the snow and it's added a whole new level of outdoor adventure for us. It's okay to be happy, excited, sad, scared, nervous, ready and not ready--you're allowed to have all the feels. Best wishes for you on your journey back home!

So I can understand leaving a paradise to move back to the place you grew up is a little scary. Once we moved back home (Canada) it became clear that there was so many more opportunities for our family to build a home and lifestyle that would sustain every dream we had.

    Hi guys. 2009 my husband, youngest son and I moved to Cape Town, South Africa and life was amazing. The only problem was family was back in thr UK and it was hard being separated. Fast forward 5 years and my health starts to get worse and things were starting to go down hill in South Africa, we decided to leave. Moving back to the UK was the best thing we could have done and we are all so much happier that family are closer by (not too close haha). Whenever we talk of Cape Town my heart yearns for the people we met and the friends we made. Anyway I digress, my health has gotten worse since getting back and having the support of family about is 100% worth the move. With 2 young children I bet you are going to be inundated with grandparents offering free childcare. Take the help, share the love. Your parents are going to be so happy getting to share this stage in your children's life. Hawaii will always be there for you guys for holidays or maybe when the kids get bigger you can reassess. Only you know what is going to work for you. All I can say is goog luck and enjoy wherever you end up.

Make a small book of photos of all the places the kids love in Hawaii. Laminate the pages with the photos on. Punch 2 or 3 holes on the side. And put those silver clip rings. And then the kids will always have thier Hawaii story with them in book form. This has worked for my kids in lots of different situations. 💜💜 wishing you all a smooth transition. ❤

I knew about 6 months before I moved back to Illinois it felt right. I had no doubt when I was moving back. Fast forward a year and a half later. I have zero regrets. I am glad I got the warm climate out of my system, but I no longer take for granted the things that make things home. Small things, like parks, restaurants I have visited since a child, etc, mean so much more to me now. I think you are going to be thrilled.

I can only imagine how hard the move will be for you. I will miss seeing all of you in Hawaii. I spent 5 days there after I celebrated my 5th year cancer free. I went by myself. This was huge because I had never went anywhere by myself. I met a family within 15 minutes of getting to my hotel and I ended up spending a lot of time with them and had the time of my life. That Island stole my heart. I actually cried the day I had to leave. Everything is just so different there. I truly felt like the Island was a living, breathing person comforting me the entire time. This probably sounds crazy. I feel like I have never really been able to adequately describe the feeling. You share so much of your lives with so many people.

    As someone who has moved consistently since I was a child, I can tell you that kids adapt. Being an adult I will tell you that nothing is more important to a child than having grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins around, while growing up. It is a sense of stability that I never had. I think that is the most important thing. You both are doing a great job and making the right decision to move back to Utah. ❤

      I don't understand why you would leave Hawaii to go to Utah. I was born in the States and was raised in Brazil and then we moved back to corny Jersey, then l moved to Florida but came back here to Jersey for family. And well my family is horrible, people change, l caught a life threatening lung disease bc of a drug addict that lived on the 2nd floor. So yes you can get very sick from second hand smoke. Don't leave.

Utah also probably has a special place in your heart from your time growing up there. But now it can be a new adventure for the 4 of you together

    2 things to try with Sunny
    1) try keeping the pacifier away from her before her feeding (reason: She might suck longer on bottle because she hasn’t tired out from pacifier).
    2) make the hole in nipple larger (reason: could be the hole is too small & she doesn’t want to suck so hard).
    You are both such great parents. These are just a few other things to try.

    • @Jemmyjo
      @Jemmyjo Рік тому +22

      I seem to remember that when my brother #6 was born prematurely way back in 1968(1 month early, weighing 6 lbs 10 oz; developed lung disease, but is fine now) he was sent home with special nipples for bottles. They were red and were much easier for preemies to suck. So something like that might be an option.

    Quick life story/background: lived my whole adolescence in Texas until I graduated high school and moved to Utah for school. Got married and we moved to a completely different state after 1.5 years of being married. Looking back, moving away from family and your hometown is great, especially as a young couple because you rely on each other and create your own life. But also having family around once you’ve done that is great! It’s good to have different experiences. Best of luck on your new adventure and can’t wait to see it!

We know in our hearts that this isn't the final destination, and we'll get back out there someday. We also have talked about moving to Utah when/if we move back west.

    We left SLC for San Jose, CA back in 2013 due to my husband's job. We were leaving all of family and friends and it was difficult. I never could make any real friends which was so weird for me because I always made good friends right away in the past no matter were I was. It was super hard for my daughter. She would shed tears often over it even though we go back every year during FanX. Three weeks ago we relocated to the Houston area. What a change! Just the kindness of people there amazed me not to mention the drop in prices on just about everything from gas to rent. Even my daughter was excited and happy for it. Change is frequently difficult but I think it's necessary for growth. I hope it all works out for you guys and I can't help but think how cool it would be to run into you all on one of my trips back to Utah. You are such amazing people!Thanks for sharing.

Some are fun and exciting, but I think you realize down deep that some of those changes are going to hurt and that is partially why it is so hard. Unfortunately, it is part of the growing process.

Home Educated for a dozen years sprinkled throughout those times. Took the gang to all the monuments we could in 35 of the 50 states. We just moved back to Indiana to be by family (5 yrs ago) so our youngest boys could pursue welding as a trade. They knocked it out of the park! Highest Honors and great jobs even before H.S. ended. My two oldest also did fantastic as well, scholarships and National Honor Society, the works. We always joined a church and we ALWAYS encouraged the kids to explore, wherever we lived or visited.

    As you start preparing for the move you will need to prepare Jack. All little ones will adjust to pretty much every change in their life, but with the bigger ones it helps to ease them into it. Talk about the new house and let him help pick out the theme and colors for his room. When packing make sure that he has his favorite items packed so he will have them as soon as he gets to Utah because things that get shipped can take forever and that is hard for little ones. You can do a countdown of sleeps to moving day. It might help to have a special surprise gift in his new bedroom (something small like a toy helicopter or whatever he happens to be into.) You could just have balloons and a treat. Depending on how crazy everything gets you might want him and Sunny to stay with a family member while you get everything moved in and setup to make it easier on you and reduce any meltdowns.

    My family recently left California (my home my whole life) and moved to Arkansas for similar reasons. My husbands family is here, I had never left, but I was pregnant with our son and the cost of living was hard. The logistics of moving was tough and I had to mourn a lot of how I imagined my family would be. That being said - we moved to get a home, share new adventures and nothing is permanent. Embrace the new space, you can always go back and you're building equity temporarily no matter what. We told ourselves we'd evaluate in 5 years and that's an okay way to think about it. The good news, while I'm not doing things I imagined with my son, I'm also doing things I didn't imagine in a great way and that's wonderful. The lower cost with kids is so darn helpful too for a while. We say that now we can go to the beach and enjoy it versus stressing all the time on cost of living.

Day trips, concerts, cool restaurants you want to visit, just generally things you can look forward to. For our upcoming move I’ve already found a play group for my baby, a cooking class I want to take, and planned a mini road trip. It helps to keep your focus on what you’re moving to in stead of what you’re leaving behind. Hope that helps!

    Being a now retired Air Force mom, I can tell you a few things about moving...well, a LOT of things. 😆 1) Home is WHEREVER your little FAMILY is. We have lived all over the world. From Guam to Germany, to AZ to WI, and MN and GA. Home is ALWAYS where your family is. It is always different when you get settled in a new place than what you expected. There will be many changes when ever you move, but it is always about having a good attitude towards everything. (Aren't your parents both there in UT?) IT will be nice, if they are, to have your parents nearby will be an awesome and Amazing change now that you have kids. Your children will have the chance to possibly have a closer relationship with them. (Just wondering if your brother and Lo and their kids are staying in Hawaii or are they also moving back to UT? I was just curious.) I know you will love moving, your little family, as well as your extended family will be excited for you guys as well!
    P. S. Just curious, but when we lived on Guam, they warned us against using tap water to make formula because of things in the tap water that babies cannot/should not have. [Certain minerals, coral, a bit of salt (water)--simply because it is an island in the middle of the ocean.] And warned us to ONLY use bottled water or nursery water to make formula. I am not sure if that could have something to do with Sunny not gaining as much weight as she is supposed to? Just a thought. Things about Tap water may have changed since then as well. Was just a thought, if it helps, great, if not, just disregard. Keep up the awesome videos.

    Hi, guys. Military brat here - it takes time and love. You’re always going to miss it and even when you come back for visits it won’t be the same. There will be days the what ifs and the longing pop up. But time, immersing yourself into life in your new home, setting up routines but not settling in ruts, and showing yourself grace will help a ton. There are a couple of words that helped me process this when I was a kid; Hiraeth and gratitude. The first one is best researched because I won’t do it justice. For gratitude, don’t think of it as appreciative but rather as the feeling you get when you receive a gift. The anticipation, the excitement, the thanks, the enjoyment. Take a few moments to feel that as you prepare to leave Hawaii and arrive in Utah. Best of luck!

    You are so family oriented. It’s okay to move to Utah because you are really committed to doing so. Both extended family and friends are there. You will be okay especially because of SNOW! I would definitely opt for Utah. We live on the east coast and it hardly snows anymore. I envy your youth! Life is in flux and know that you are the captain of your voyage. Life ahead, sees you making trips to Hawaii. You know the state now so, it will not be difficult to go back. You’re going to be fine because you have so much love in your family and surrounding you. Er’y tings gon be irie!❤️

    I have only moved far away from home for 6 months so I can only partially relate to this. But right when I was walking through the airport to head back home and I was thinking about how I was excited to go home yet sad to leave the place I had made into my home as well, my Spotify discovery played a song called “early morning coffee cups” and those lyrics have stayed with me ever since:
    “When all the things I thought I knew
    Are fading like the mornin' dew
    When home is just a point of view
    All the while
    It took me 'round the world to see
    You are where I need to be”
    Sometimes you have to leave great things behind to find other great things. I’m sure this adventure will be amazing as well ❤

    My husband and I lived in the Dominican Republic and had our first daughter there. We’re both from Nevada and I always thought I was desert rat, but I was so wrong. We’ve lived in NV, CA, AZ, and TX, but as it turns out island life in the DR was where I felt the most at home. We really connected with each other there and made tons of great friends, every day was an adventure! After having our first daughter there he convinced me that we should move back to the states to be closer to family, so we eventually ended up back in NV. After he found out I was pregnant with our second child, he became distant, began to drink a lot, and started seeing another woman that he worked with. Now, after 18 years of marriage, he moved to Alaska where he’s now living with his new girlfriend and her two kids and left me and our 2 girls back in NV. I’m currently trying to get a divorce, but I am having a hard time affording the attorney. Looking back, I wish we never would have left the Dominican Republic. I pray that if you do choose to move back to UT, that you continue to be so in love and never lose sight of the beautiful family you have built. If you’re truly happy in Hawaii, then think long and hard before packing up to leave. If you do leave, make sure you’re both 100% on board before diving into the next chapter. You asked for advice, that’s the best I can offer. Best wishes on whatever you choose 💕

    If your baby seems hungry but isn’t eating the full bottle, try going up in nipple size if you haven’t yet. She may want a faster flow. If you use a formula machine, they don’t always dump the full amount of formula into the water and so your baby will still be hungry. Hope it all gets better. ❤

    • @FreeMare1042
      @FreeMare1042 Рік тому +4

      Yes that’s great advice. Something I totally forgot about but I had to do it for one of my babies. I used to put a round toothpick into the nipple holes after washing then rinse again and leave to dry. That kept the hole open too. And it wasn’t too large of an opening. They’re usually a gradual thickness too so if the middle of the pick is too wide just move it down to where you want it. @TheBeestonFam

    • @lanaritter9410
      @lanaritter9410 Рік тому +4

      Yes, that is great advice! I worked with infants/ toddlers for about 8 years and low weight gain and the infant wanting to sleep so many times was due to the nipple hole being to small and the infant would wear itself out sucking and then fall asleep therefore not eating enough nor gaining proper weight.

    Love you guys. I want to mention a couple of things. Aside from the house, living in UT will be less expensive overall. Groceries will be cheaper, gas, cars, everything. You can always go back to visit.(Just like Matt & Abby!). I had to leave my elderly and ill father in Ohio to move to Phoenix. Nothing broke my heart more. It was so difficult at first, but it did get easier with the help of friends who I count as family. I did go back to visit him as much as possible. He passed away (z"l) 2.5 years after I left.

    • @Monk-eee
      @Monk-eee Рік тому +6

      I agree, and going back to UT being close to family again with 2 little ones will mentally help so so much. I swear nothing like grandparents . And having to choose between living your life for you and living your life for someone or something else can be challenging butttt its a choice only you can make. And like Lo and Tanner said nothing is forever you can always change your mind and move back if you really don't like it. That's another bonus they are moving back to UT too, so the brothers wont be an ocean a part just a town or two again!
      oh and what does (z"l) mean???? and I'm sorry about your Daddio lost mine a few years back and ...... and well I'd give my hand to hug him, hear his laugh and get to smell him one more time. #daddysgirl

    Just so you know, although it’s common in postpartum, it’s not normal to pee from doing normal things like laughing or sneezing (I just had a baby in December so I understand the struggle). Leakage like that is a sign that you have problems within your pelvic floor and this can be improved with physical therapy! It really helped me improve upon that problem, so I just thought I’d share that cause you shouldn’t have to wear pads to compensate for it. I can see they would be helpful though while working towards improving it!!

Use to love jump roping but had to limit myself because of it and never when people were around and I didn't dare go on a trampoline. I did pelvic floor physical therapy now I don't have that issue anymore and I can jump rope and sneeze as much as I want.

Then I came back home and moved to St. John's for 17 years and I had to move back home that took a lot of getting used to because of the simple fact that here there are no theaters, bars or anything like that. But as time goes by I 'm getting used to living home so chin up and I know that all four of you will be able to make the change.
