Congratulations Jonah! You are one of the most responsible, intelligent young men I've witnessed who will respect and honor your ability to drive yourself, family and precious cargo from this day forward! So proud of you! Stay humble. 🚘🎉🙌
I knew and loved that 8 yr old boy, I’ve marveled at Jonah from the start. The way he started his tool collection made it clear he was, is, a special kind of guy. Congratulations!
Jonah, your drivers record, criminal record, reputation, and credit score are all things that directly impact your future self. Act accordingly. CONGRATULATIONS!
You are a successful parent when your children are responsible, independent people that only "need" their parents for advice and direction when called upon. Very sad day to realize but a very fulfilling day, also. After all, that's our job description, isn't it? Train up a child in the way they should go.....Great job.
It was emotional like you said. I only have one son and every single growing up step he took was emotional! He is 38 now and has a wonderful family and I am so proud of him!❤
It’s crazy seeing this from the parents perspective because I’m also 16, but can’t get my license until 17. I’m also my parents first born and never thought about the emotional impact it’s have on them
Keep them close mate! Memories are everything, but there is no replacement for a child’s love! Love your work guys! Best wishes from Western Australia for your continued recovery!
I’m sitting here crying, wishing I had a relationship you have with your kids. Way to go Jonah I know there’s a lot of people really proud of you right now.
I started watching your channel when Henry was born at the gas station! I love watching your family grow. But most of all how you’ve have raised your children to be free thinkers. You guide them to figure life out. You listen to their ideas and give their ideas a try. You have created a wonderful team of homesteaders in your own family!
Literally our oldest of 6 just got his license as well.. as we were putting our youngest ones shoes on as well. Hard day! Understand completely.. great vlog guys
I remember when little Jonah was so eager to help Justin in that first chicken video. Wow what a great journey, congratulations Jonah we have watched you grow and be the amazing person you are kudos and Josiah as well of course xo
Congratulations Jonah! Wat to go! You were just a little guy when I started watching and you have grown into a very responsible and caring young man. Have fun! Hugs and blessings to you always.
❤Awww! How very very special! Such a wonderful young man I've watched grow up! I can't believe your 16 and flying out of the nest in your truck! Have fun as these are the best most memorable days of your life! Be wise and use that big beautiful brain that you have! God will do all the rest! Wooo! Hooo! Freedom is so fun! So happy for you all!!!❤😊🙏🙏🙏
Congratulations Jonah! Just remember, both hands on the wheel at all times. Other drivers may not be as smart and careful as you. You are an amazing young man who was raised the correct way.
Congratulations Jonah!! It’s hard letting them go and stand on their own two feet. I have one child. He’s 34 and it’s hard when they don’t need you anymore. God bless you all.
JONAH!!!! Congratulations!!! This is such a huge celebration and I am so excited for you!!!! You have been through so much in the last 2 years, and now you can celebrate with a new world to discover with your brother and friends!!!!! The Rhodes Bros is going to new levels!!!
Congratulations Jonah-you are wise beyond your years and will do well. Guard your heart young man and continue making wise choices. I do remember so well then my granz got their license-oh my-you are just getting started. So appreciate your videos, totally fills the heart
Congratulations Jonah!Watching you grow up has been a treat for me,I love you all & I've never in 61 yrs seen better parents than Justin & Rebekah, you kids are very blessed.
Congratulations Jonah seeing you all these years growing up, next step is your (HOUSE) my twins granddaughters are also learning 16years pass by so fast congrats again ❤❤
Congratulations Jonah! You did it Bud. Been watching y'all for years now and watching you growing up like your parents did and man time flys so quickly. You thrive in life and doing so well. Keep doing you Jonah. ❤🎉
Congratulations Jonah! I have 3 kids all grown my baby is going to be 31 this year my oldest is 34, middle child is 32. It never gets easy seeing your babies grow up and become adults. Yet in the same breath watching them grow up into adults is amazing too. I am so proud of each of my kids they work hard and have their own homes. They are living a good wholesome life. I am so thankful that I am around to watch it all happen. To be here when they need guidance and just Mom time. 🤗💞
Jonah is old enough too start making choices about things that concern him. He is a smart young man . Praying blessings on him and his decisions for good .
Congratulations Jonah!! I have no worries you are responsible you will be fine!! I have been watching this vlog for many years! I am happy to see you growing up to be a fine young man!! Josiah will be next wow!!! Justin and Rebecca have done such a wonderful job raising your children!! I cried too!!
Congratulations Jonah! I’m very proud to have gotten the opportunity to watch you grow into the great young man you have become. My grandson turns 15 in August and can’t wait to get his learners permit and start driving. He should still be 3. I blinked! Stay safe!
Congratulations, Jonah!!! He is gonna do well, He had great parent teachers, Justin & Rebekka. You've raised an amazing responsible young man. When I watched you tear up. I remember how when my oldest got his license my fourth one was a baby. I have 3 sons and a daughter. And then I remember when my youngest got her license, the tears that flowed. I'm so thankful. I had a couple people from my church with me. We all hugged and cried as my youngest drove away to take her licensed. I'm so glad you have your other ones and little Henry they will keep your heart busy through this transition of journey. When my kids got their license, they said, but just think how more of a help we can be. We can drive and go get that item and you don't have to. He's gonna do great because he has great family, Great parents and a great Lord God, that looks over him.
Great Job Mom & Dad 🎉 Congrats Jonah - I met you on the Great American Farm Tour ( Pariah Dog Farm , Falmouth , Massachusetts - it was worth the3 hr . Dr from Connecticut - to meet all of you when Jonah was about 9 .Josiah and Jonah doing errands on their own - You re all to be commended 😊- I was a driving instructor for a short time - ( less than 6 months) .Have to say it was one of my most stressful jobs - even more so than being a school bus driver that lasted 25 yrs! Great job everyone ❤
My daughters are 53 and 50 and watching them drive off by themselves for the first time is a memory I will never forget. It doesn't get easier. They are cherished memories.🙂
You made me cry... The first is hard and crazy exciting. Thank you for reminding me to cherish every day with them. Over Half of ours are on the other side of 18 and watching you start on this journey is touching. It's beautiful but hard at times. ❤🎉
Such a beautiful moment. They are all hard. Teaching them independence is a privilege Mine are 31 to 44 yrs old now they are amazing, like yours are. Well loved!
Congrats Jonah on getting your drivers license. I remember when I received my drivers license. My dad said congratulations, now find a part time job to help pay for the differnce on the auto insurance increase. With males added to parents auto insurance the premium price goes up even more. The joys of growing up.
THUNDERATION..Jonah got his driver's license..I remember getting mine when I was 17..I was living in Ft Myers Beach Florida..what a story..enough said..funny but naughty..what a hoot I was..anyway..you're awesome Jonah..I wasn't..my angels were always working overtime to save my sorry rebellious hind end..shoulda woulda coulda..my angels name is Grace..you are a shining example of discipline and responsibility..you should be soooo proud of yourself..ty..xoxo..blessings to you in every way ❤️❤❤❤❤❤❤
Well done Jonah, congratulations! Remember to “Drive the big picture” The kids grow up so fast, but hopefully you will have grandchildren in the not so distant future. 😊
Thank you for acknowledging all of us who have watched your beautiful children grow. I don’t know that I’ve ever commented before, but I think I have watched just about every video you have made, since I found your channel. Your family is so dear to me, and often in my prayers, when difficulties have happened. Congratulations Jonah! One last thing…as a mother of two adult children and two young children, I have come to appreciate the saying that, in parenting, the days are long but the years are short. Cherish the long days, they will be over before you know it!
Go Jonah!! Remember the vehicle follows your eyes and where your attention is… don’t allow yourself to get distracted AND constantly be checking all your mirrors to know what those behind and beside you are doing!🎉🎉
Congrats, Jonah! Well done. And parents: it's hard to let them grow up as much as you do support them. I look at my grown children and there's a mental overlay of them as babies and young children ALWAYS. That's just the gift we get.
Congratulations Jonah! You are one of the most responsible, intelligent young men I've witnessed who will respect and honor your ability to drive yourself, family and precious cargo from this day forward! So proud of you! Stay humble. 🚘🎉🙌
Remember buddy: Driving slowly and safely is COOL! Respecting the laws is COOL! Enjoy the freedom don't use it foolishly...
The days are long, and the years are short! Hooray for you, Jonah! It's an honor to share this mighty day.
It's true. My youngest is 33 Time passes so quickly. Jonah You are one in a million. Don't forget your parents still need you.
