I love the normality of the family. I miss when my kids were that little. Cherish it every moment you get.
Totally understand it Y’all! The 1st 5 years were a CHORE with my 2 sons. They’re almost 2 years apart, and now are 26 & 24 (i can’t believe we used to go through the exact same experience). Its worth the ride y’all, you just gotta power through the young’n days. Hope you guys enjoy a nice Adult Beverage, 🍻 Cheers to Family Life 👊🏼😎🤙🏼
I appreciate your dedication to making UA-cam, I couldn't let people into my business, I know this is how you make a living and we only see a fraction of your life. But your content is very entertaining and a break from the generic entertainment that has an agenda they want to push on you. Thanks for what you do.
I Appreciate your focus on family, parenting and sharing your family and faith with your audience. Our society needs more families like yours.
Missed you guys! Happy to see the family is doing well! Especially you LFG. To this day, make every cast count!
Always great to see a family that gets along and has a genuine aura around them. Mrs. LFG needs to be a bigger part of your videos.
Love ya LFG glad to see you doing well and family is well
i understand why you dont film them often but these are always the best videos. just so wholesome. beautiful family!
Bless the both of y’all. Me and the wife wondered what happened… we love that channel and you guys are tough. Can’t be easy at all!
Coming from a father of one with number two on the way, this is the most commendable thing you can do. I work long hours, basically from 8am-5:30 hour drive to and from work then work once I get home from 7:30-11:30 some nights. It’s so hard to spend time with the wife and kids, but when you do, it’s all you want to do. People without kids would never understand. The time I get to spend with my daughter is unmatched to anything else.
People who were unable to have children will always understand. Hope everyone has a peaceful and happy Christmas and New Year
@@beccaboop3357 if you were unable to have children, I’m very sorry. I didn’t even think about that when I was making this post. Merry Christmas to you and happy new year!
Completely understand y’all’s reasoning as to not filming. Making sure it’s you as a parent watching over the kids rather than being one behind a camera will mean so much for you and even the kids in the future. Granted just seeing y’all enjoying taming the tigers is always a wholesome vibe 😊😂 Much respect for being the best possible person you can be on and off the camera. You’re a man I wish to become and hope to one day find a wife who does the same. Merry Christmas btw from all the across the US in New Jersey 😊
But he's constantly behind the camera for deer or fishing 🤷♀️
There is no manual on parenting. You guys do what you feel is right for you. There will be time for videos later on. We will be here when your ready❤❤
That is not true
I feel you, my daughter turned one in November. My whole life changed, for the better of course. I had to realize that the things I love to do now have to get put on hold for a season or two. My passions for hunting and fishing are still there, but maybe have taken a a back seat. That is a hard reality to learn, but my daughter wont be little forever. Thank you for posting this, it lets me know I am not the only one. You guys are great parents, and I love to see your life no matter how crazy it gets.
Thank you for doing the right thing, man. Too many men choose themselves over their families.
It's very good to see you all. He looks just like his big sister. Keep up the amazing work as wonderful parents.
Boys are different. Thank your mama - She put up with you too. And, thank OSG for being amazing. Thanks for posting the update. You’re my favorite UA-camr and a true inspiration. Wish you all the best. Have a Merry Christmas and happy New Year!
I feel ya brother our first son is so calm cool and collective and then our second son runs on chaos. Now my oldest will be 13 so now we have teenage years to deal with. Gob bless I love the family content!
Congrats on such a wonderful family. We’ll be here when y’all get a break. Family is priority.
Enjoy every minute! The day will come when your house is quiet and you will really miss the sounds of having little ones in the house. Chaos and all…you will miss it!
Definately understand. Looks and sounds about like my house. With two toddlers there is almost nothing but chaos, but also some of the best moments you could ever experience. Keep enjoying those kiddos!
Our number 2 is also a little gremlin! This is so relatable. He’s two and he’s still just like that but stronger and faster than he used to be. This may be the most relatable vlog I’ve ever watched. And yeah I wouldn’t change it for the world! I’m starting to think it’s time for another one too.
Completely understand I have a little boy and he’s constantly right there with there with me no matter where I go or what am doing. He’s 6yrs old. 😂😂 Beautiful Family!!!
Appreciate your content, and have a great deal of respect for you making sure to not letting the pressures of your job intermingle with your home life too much. Keeping your priorities straight, and keeping your content absolutely excellent at the same time 😏 keep up the great work 🍻
Bein a father of three kids that are now grown,I don't blame yall for not filming. It's family time and yalls time,shouldn't have to share every moment to the world, and if they don't like it, to bad... Keep it up LFG,been watching you since you lived down south and way befor Googan, much respect to you...
I am a father of twins- boy and a girl. Been there done that and yes watching your family video brings back all the memories I truly miss. PLEASE CHERISH the craziness now for as you "blink" the time passes so quickly and the children are grown up .
You are living the "special" times. God Bless! Great video "catch up".
As a father of 3 and a smaller content creator, I get it 100%. I have a 17,14, and soon to be 4yr old and I end up being up at 3am daily to record and post so that my day is spent doing my normal job as well as taxi service and chef for everyone. You are doing right by your kids. I see so many parents exploit their kids daily lives that I am not sure the kids understand what a normal childhood is when a camera is always on or in their face. I have admired you and the Mrs and how you always truly put them first. Keep it up, they are going to grow up happy and healthy with amazing parents who still know how to be parents and not just their friend which we see too much of these days. Love y'all!
My kids must be batshit crazy because I thought it seemed like a nice, calm night.
Absolutely, my brain switched over to spawn first part of the year, we didn’t get to hunt much this year because we were remodeling, but looking forward to getting the boat back out
You’re doing it right. I can relate!!
Your family reminds me so much of my brothers family it’s unreal…even down to the down
Love the truth in the video from someone thats been in the situation you guys are in, take the kids to a babysitter at least 1 night every other week and have a night to yourselves. You have to have a break, I know it's hard but take the time before it's to late
heck ya i understand i had 5 kids i get it love it keep it up im 47 this year then grandkids show up its what we live for love ya all merry christmas..
Dude the lil guy is a natural like his daddy, already helping you pack and he got his momma's eyes and dad's height, he going to be tall lol, love it, and hope y'all have a great day and thanks for the share 😊👋💯
We have a 3 year and just found out we have another on the way (intentional). Parenting the right way is really hard, but also really rewarding.
Always love to have you guys been family orientated and I always loved and respect you as a man and a father you’re very humble family you and your wife I think I started watching you through flair. An man I always have love and respect for a man you remind me of how my uncles raised me growing up That family comes first and work hard to take care of your family but don’t forget to be there for your family
Hey man I completely understand where your coming from we raised 4 and 3 we're boys cherish the time you have with them and make lots of memories
I’m right there with you bud, me and my wife’s life has flipped upside down. I have 2 boys, 22 month old and a 9 month old. With a bonus 10 year old daughter. It’s definitely crazy life. Definitely sitting in the woods or on the lake is an escape very much needed. I do it as much as my wife lets me lol. Y’all are doing great though. Keep it up. Cheers from Robinson Tx
"selfless grind" is a good way to describe parenting. It changes as they get older, but you're still giving nonstop.
Having our first child this June watching your boy run around just scared the crap out of me. Happy New Year
This was great. So many times we only see the “Highlight Reels” of each others lives. It’s nice to see something that we can all relate to. (Everyday life with kids!😅)
Yes the second kiddo is a game changer. You all are great. Keep up the balance. I've been watching your channel from before you were married.
Omg its so awesome to see we are not the only family that have the same problems. Ty
You are blessed. Beautiful wife, beautiful children. Love your videos with all your family. Keep up the great work
I definitely understand, I have 2 boys so walking into my house after work is like walking onto a battlefield and being handed a knife and told “good luck” while being pushed into the battle. Fishing is also my escape. Keep doing what you do I’m here for it either way.
I can relate to this so much...I really like the analogy of the pause button on life to raise kids...they truly do become our only focus.
I’m about your Dad’s age and had two young boys years ago. I bet he has a big grin on his face after seeing this! Just get the family in the video every so often.
Hey man, nothing but feels for ya! I've got four running around, two teenage boys (13 & 14), and two toddler girls (3 & 4). Our girls are nuts... NUTS. They are sweet but holy hell I feel sorry for the future boys in their life because they are probably going to get beat up hahaha. It isn't easy, I work from home and we home school, all while I'm working on 3 UA-cam channels. Don't listen to the lies about it getting easier etc, it doesn't ever get easier, you just get better at handling it! Keep on keepin on, much love to all the parents out there especially those running multiples!
Yall dont need online approval to how your family life is going, and to be honest its hard to live your life through the lens when its family time man. The memories yall are going to create and cherish matter way more than a UA-cam video. Happy Holidays and spoil the kiddos brother!
Keep the old school alive LFG. Much love from PA.
I skipped late season deer and jumped into off season prep for fishing getting a resivor boat together now
Been there, done that, got the T-shirt 3 times over. We more than understand and its great to see you all focusing on what matters. Godspeed to ya'll....No worries....
Balance is so important! Just as you mentioned that you get to clear your mind and have quiet time out in the woods, make sure mama is also getting those same opportunities to step away and get to enjoy herself without the chaos of kids on her plate, 24/7. ❤
I know a guy that has a shop with a butchering setup like you described the group is 13 strong and we set up an skinning/butchering line. It’s glorious.
After watching this, I feel like I just watch my own home movie. I have a five year old daughter and a 12 month old son and this video is spot on what it is like at my house. I couldn't help but laugh at all the similarities from your kiddos to mine in how they parade around destroying the house and the constant throwing of sippy cups and saying no. Thank you for sharing a glimpse of your family life with us. Love your channel man. Keep doing what you do!
I feel your pain. Try having 7 of em!!!! And when you get teens that start driving and go out at night, you never sleep without one eye open. Gives a whole new meaning to the word tired.
bless your beautiful family, enjoy the time all you can because they will be grown tomorrow it seems like..
He keeps looking back like I got away hahahaha!
It is completely understandable why the family channel is on hiatus...... there will be time to pick it back up later when things slightly calm down. I also admire that you do indeed spend quality time with the family when you are home. Glad you and OSG got to have date night. I am quite sure she needed the break as well!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!!
Lol, he is a handful. I know what yall are going through. My little boy was the same way, me and my wife couldn't do anything. God bless yall.
Hahaha wait till you have 10 grandchildren, all screaming Popa when you take them all fishing 😂😂😂 but such a blessing! Y’all doing great!
I’ve got that same safe, great safe. I recommend the motion LED for the interior as well as the adapter to add outlets inside the safe.
Wow.. that closely mirrors the experience of my family with our young son and older daughter. Everyone tells me to hold onto the moment cause they're only this young once, but honestly I'm looking forward to when he has a little more independence.
Keep being awesome gang!
Thanks much Justin and I must say that you and stephanie bring a lot of joy to folks that could not have children
I can relate to this so much. I have two kids (2 and 3) and my channel has really changed since having kids. Life is more difficult, different. But better.
Seeing this is so refreshing 😂
Having two kiddos is absolutely tough. What’s amazing is that as you have more, the Lord increases your capacity. You guys are an amazing family and the world needs more kids raised by people like you two. We have four boys that very much resemble your little boy.
Boy
/boi/
noun
1. Loud with dirt on it.
It will get easier once they get a bit older. You’re both doing great
Agree
I've got 3 boys. Very busy household. And I work shift work. I feel where you're at my man. You're wife, like mine, is a true hero with everything they do. Amazing, down to earth video.
Leg shanks go whole into the Instant Pot for two hours with some water and seasoning. The marrow/fat/sinew cooks down into a killer broth and the pulled meat is perfect fried up for tacos. Gotta get the ends crispy 👌
My daughter is the same way glad we are not alone thank you
He is a typical baby boy they do what they do. Set boundaries but enjoy the ride because they grow up fast.
Merry Christmas and happy new year y'all, take care of yourselves
Thank you for posting this. It actually encouraged me, as me and my wife days and nights look very similar. It’s brutally exhausting and wonderful all at the same time.
Nice to see you guys again! I think you guys are right focus on the kids rather than the channel. And I just wanted to mention that I’m no doctor and i have no kids but I listen to a lot of doctors and I hear an awful lot about how much sugars and seed oils effect a child’s behavior. Im definitely not suggesting how you feed your kids but some people aren’t aware of the effects of such things.
Always a pleasure seeing Stephanie. Hope the cookbook sales are good for the holiday. Looks like the kids miss the camera. I deffinately think filming would be an improvement on them.
Dad the hero pose was priceless. Wish my shoes were that big too
Relatable and honest... Hope the family is well, LFG!!!!
I feel ya,man. I had 6 kids. They're all grown up and I now have 9 grand kids. I love them all but fishing time is priceless. Best of times. Peace
Oh boy! So much drama! I was chuckling continuously the last 5 minutes of the video. We are raising our 5yo (soon to be 6) grandson and it doesn't slow down when the boy hits 5...
OMG you are me six years ago! To the tee. God bless brother.
Dude, i got thrust into parenthood as well, and you are 100% correct, that shit is a challenge. Total eye opener and such a fxxxxing sacrifice. Glad to do it but man...... damn.
I get it, I have 3 and the last two are 9 1/2 months apart. Needless to say they got into everything!!
These are the fun times though my youngest just turned 17.
Best tip for shanks is to Sawzall into 2" pieces and make instapot osso bucco or adobada . Works for deer but elk/bison or moose are astronomical served over a green Chile polenta or risotto
Enjoy them while they're small, the good, and the bad. They grow like weeds, and one day, you'll be looking back, realizing where time went. In my experience, it gets busier as they get older..lol. yall have a beautiful family. I've been a follower since the Winston days.
From a dad with a boy and a girl. Now 21 and 26. Invest in cabinet and drawer locks. They are a lifesaver
Guys, my wife and I totally live this life. We have 2 as well, one nearly 5 and one 1.5 and you’re right. 99% of your time has to be selfless service to everyone to make sure you have good quality of life and time together. It is exhausting! So it’s good to know we’re not alone in that! And take comfort that we know how it is!
An instPot has changed the way that I utilize the tougher and less desirable cuts of my venison harvest. When I cook it in the instaPot, its’ pressure cooking process changes the tougher and less desirable cuts that would normally become hamburger meat would be put into stew meat and by using my instaPot the venison becomes the tender morsels of stew meat.
Totally understand everything going on here... I have 3 , they've all grown out of that stage but I would go back if I could
We have three kids under five right now and my house sounds a lot like yours! I love the family Contin and where and when you have time I’d love to keep seeing it, but I completely understand that it’s not always a possibility. It seems like you found an awesome balance of hunting fishing and family time. I hope you guys are able to continue to enjoy your time together away from the camera. When life does slow down I think that OSG should hit up magnolia Netwerk for a cooking show on cooking wild game I think it would do really well.
We have our 4th child coming and completely understand. A date night has become a night in, maybe a movie and early to bed. Date night isn't going out for the night like we did prior to kids. Great job being parents, it takes a lot more than a job does.
I'm loving these family vlogs. It gets better brother. I've got some little ones myself that are now starting to get a little older. Trust me. Enjoy them while you can.
I completely understand where you are coming from I have two boys and my house is crazy 24/7 but its awesome you are putting your family first! Work life balance is the only way to make it!
Awesome little family there, enjoy this, it goes so fast. Mine are 12, 9 and 5 already, the toddler days are awesome and just fly by. Parenting has been the hardest but most rewarding thing my wife and I have ever done. It's not glamorous, its not always fun, but you said it perfectly they are worth it. That hug right there says it all. Seeing this brings back a ton of memories for me. :) Best wishes to you all.
I had the same setup. Older daughter younger son. Somewhere around the 6 and 4 age they were getting a little more frustrated with each other and idk which one started it but there was a retaliatory biting stage. That’s when you know things got serious, when one would show up crying with teeth marks. Although I’m pretty sure my daughter put teeth marks on herself a couple times just to get her brother in trouble. But they’re grown now and boring, I miss those crazy days.
Totally get it. I'm 70, just retired. Live with my oldest son and his two daughters. I had 2 boys. Both pretty curious and quick to get into stuff. Now have 3 grand daughters. Oldest is great. Never been too much trouble, but she was alone for several years. Oldest of the two I live with just started school. She's LOUD and a motor mouth. The youngest reminds me of your son Ben. She's not "super fast" but she's "quick." As you're preventing / fixing one thing she's trying to get into, she's into three other things. She seems to know whenever I start to fix up rods for my next pond excursion. Soooo afraid she's gonna grab a handfull of hooks! It's not just a boy thing! They're all just individuals and every one is different. Hang on! It's a ride! ...You're the first UA-cam fisherman I watched more than 1 or 2 videos of. Now I'm subscribed to most Googans and a few others. One of my favorite videos is you and Craig "coaching" the Hybrid Striped bass 1 v 1 with OSG and Heather. Hope you all get to do take some time together doing some stuff like that again soon. Together time is important. Ya just need a dependable "baby sitter." Blessings!
I’m with ya on tge leafblower. Borrowed one for 30 minutes and I got 6 hours of leaf removal in that time. Huge time and energy saver. Porch, picnic area. Waterfall, dog kennel. Done in 30 minutes. I bought one that night. Now I look for opportunities to fire it up. Place has never looked better.
kids are a handful. I have 3, all grown. Seems like yesterday I was worried about my daughter falling down the stairs. Next weekend she is driving from TAMU to Guadalupe Mountains to camp, by herself!
enjoy the chaos, it will all be fond memories very soon!
Cutting trees creates sun light by the way lol...grew our first garden this year and it was good! 18 pumpkins, Ricky kept eating our sweet corn smh..green peppers were plentiful, potatoes could have been better but yes everything grew. We canned 63 quarts of tomatoe juice
Raised 3 kids all about 2 years apart. The first was easy and lulled us into a second. Why is the second one always the wild one. Before we new how crazy our lives had become, the third was on the way. If you think 2 is hard, wait till you get outnumbered. The craziness goes up exponentially. Lots of precious memories though.
Please tell OSG that I made her avocado cookies and I had so many people wanting the recipe and they didn't believe me that they had avocados in them. Totally love her book..she should come our with a cook book. Miss watching the family Channel. Merry Christmas and Happy New year
Those chaotic times will change into the hustle of sports, scouts, school, and trying to find those family moments as you all get older. Patience will guide you through it and choose an applicable beverage.
I remember those times with my 2, don't worry, it passes and then it is a lot of fun.
Family first, they are only small once...
Kid Life, That's Life...
Thank you for sharing
I know exactly what you guys are going through brother. We have two boys 4 and 2. Some days are great and most days it's a zoo in the house. But, I wouldn't change it for the world.
