Oh my goodness the weather looks so amazing there! We have just had the most terrible weather. We were flooded in and many people around us were very badly affected by Cyclone Debbie.. So nice to watch your vlogs.. We are daily vloggers from AUSTRALIA 🐨
One of the things I absolutely love about the Hoellein's and Mecham's is the fact that they truly appreciate the lifestyle they are able to live. Such beautiful, down to earth and humbling families.
Bonnie is the epitome of poise and class. She seems to somehow find the good in everything and is passing that down to their sweet babies. Now, I know we don't see much of their lives, only 15ish minutes out of 24hrs, so i'm sure she has grumpy moments but I feel as tho even if that's the case she will find something good to learn or take away from that situation. Bonnie, if you read this, thank you for being an awesome role model for women, mothers, iwives and everyone in between :)
I agree! There seems to be so many judgemental jerks who comment on all her videos. It drives me nuts because she is such an incredible mom and wife. The way she handles it all is amazing!
Bonnie! Get surfers salve! They only sell it in Hawaii! It's amazing for sunburns and sensitive skin! Everytime I go to Hawaii I stock up because I burn easily. It's works miracles on sunburns💕
Oh my goodness! Lincoln in his little bathing suit, sunglasses, and hat! So precious! And his little sand covered toes! It looks so beautiful there! The water is just gorgeous! Thank you for letting me experience Hawaii vicariously through you!
Bonnie, I just wanted to say how sweet your videos are. I am 18 years old and at college right now missing my family hard. But watching these videos of y'all in Hawaii takes me straight back to when I was a little girl on our numerous family vacations to Disney world and Marco Island. Thank you so much for your videos - they truly brighten up my day and make me so excited for you! Have THE MOST fun!
I was so engrossed in this video!!! I love. and enjoy all them... but watching the kids at the beach and cove was priceless!!! I am so happy for you Bonnie to experience this!!! Lincoln was absolutely adorable and he has no fear!!! Who else is loving this??
Such a gorgeous vlog!! So happy you all are in paradise and that I can go along vicariously through the vlogs! Makes me happy just seeing it and seeing your kiddos soaking it in and the joy in your voice! ❤️🌺🌈🌴❤️
The kids are so lucky to have parents like you and Joel, it was so nice of yous to take them on holiday and they are forever smiling, and I just cannot stop laughing at Boston! You have such a sweet family and you guys really deserve a break, I really hope yous have the best time ever in Hawaii because before you know it will be time to go home (not to dampen the fun). You guys really deserve this and all the happiness in the world and the kids seem to be so appreciative of you guys. Enjoy your well deserved time away xx
Ugh Bonnie this trip looks absolutely amazing. It's making me sooo wish I was on an island vacation! Thank you for letting me live vicariously through you!
The smiles on the kids faces just brighten my spirit and warm my heart! They will remember this special time forever! When they are old enough they will probably tell their children about the time they spent together in Hawaii!
Hawaii is absolutely gorgeous.. Your vlogs are definitely making me want to experience a trip there. Summer's in Hawaii and winters in Utah.. That sounds amazing to me. Your Utah winters are just as breath taking in their own right. I love the different seasons and couldn't ever just pick one.
Apparently you're supposed to use a ton of sunscreen like a palmful for 1 arm and so on. And spf 30 is fine, at a certain point it apparently really doesn't matter (not sure that's true haha)
Apparently SPF 30 is enough cus SPF 70 is too strong for your skin and damages the skin surface... But if you use the more expensive ones from make-up companies like l'Oreal, SPF 70 is safer
I think thats definitely true ... I have a friend who's constantly visiting doctors and multiple dermatologists have told her that anything over SPF 30 is no different than 30 lol it's crazy how the market creates these things to try and get worried/careful parents to buy more
Bonnie, I sunburn in the shade of all places and my Dad will sunburn through his T-shirt. I am ghostly white and have to take care anytime that I am outside. I hate sunburns!!! Beautiful Hawaii, I went when I was 15 with my Grandparents. Beautiful place to be. I Love It!!! Glad you all were able to go as a family. Many Blessings. Enjoy it all!!!
Proud of your attitude Bonnie! Doesn't matter what people think about your decision to take the kids out of school for a month, it was YOUR decision. And later in life, Olivia & Cody won't be upset they missed school they will remember the time they went to HAWAII for a MONTH. 🤙🏻
Lincoln looked so stinking cute on the beach in his hat and glasses. Loved how the waves on his feet didn't even phase him. Definitely reapply sunblock often, especially in the Hawaii sun and the water reflects it.
Bonnie, you are one of my biggest inspirations and role models in life! Even though I don't know you personally, I still look up to you and admire your strength in life, beauty on the inside and out and love to the lord! I really wish to have a family dynamic yours someday. Like you I always get tears in my eyes when I am happy or experience something beautiful and i catch myself getting teary eyed so often when I watch you interact with your husband and kids or when you talk about things that touched your heart! You are one amazing woman and I am so glad that UA-cam gives me the opportunity to see someone like you even though I live in another country! Thank you for making the videos! Love you and your precious family!
Joel: "Unless everyone else has fair skin like you" Bonnie: *"Sensitive"* I don't know what's more sensitive; her skin or her feelings towards Joel's remark. 😂 Ah, I love you guys! 💕
I LOVE these vlogs from Hawaii. I find myself smiling the whole time I'm watching them! So happy you get to enjoy your time there as a family! And I'm so grateful you let us be a part of it.
As somebody who travels alot and comes from a long line of skin cancer, spf 70 is no better than spf 30 or 50. the price just goes up! So spf 30 is generally more concentrated. also, waterproof sunscreen is only going to last up to 80 minutes, which isn't even an hour and a half so it's very very important to re apply!! love you guys and I look forward to the point in my day when I can sit down and watch the new blog from both you guys and Ellie and Jared ❤ love you all!!
No better feeling than too See your children happy and full of excitement...I Can see that in all your children...Lincoln is really enjoying the ocean...Olivia is just a mini Bonnie...Just the way she carries herself so sweet..Boston&Cody just being Boys...Stay safe and lots of fun...
Sunscreen (even waterproof) needs hourly re-application if you can help it. I used to tan but now I go right to burn. When you get back, you'll need to load up on the Waikiki Beach Coconut line from Bath & Body Works (which randomly happens to be my all time favourite scent from there). Loving the beachy vlogs! Heather xo
These Hawaii vlogs are just touching my soul!!! You guys should totally do daily vlogs while in Hawaii, even if the weekend ones are a little shorter or even one takes!! I love seeing the smiles and the scenery and just pure happiness!!! Such a blessing, live it up in Hawaii Hoellins!! 👪🌺🦀🐙🐚🌴🍍🌮🌸🐠🍦🐳🐢
Though I've never been to Hawaii, my favorite childhood memories is playing with my brother on the beach and in the ocean. Enjoy your time away Bonnie, Joel, Olivia, Cody, Boston and Lincoln!!!
As an Aussie who has been burnt countless times, don't apply any creams/aloe Vera straight away. If you do it will just trap the heat in, let it sit for a few hours first :) Also, echoing what other Aussies have said, you definitely need to reapply constantly and wait a bit till going out once you've applied. Enjoy the sun, ours is starting to hide away!
OMG How cute dod Lincoln look??!! He is a natural beach baby for sure! And I love Olivia's hair like that. So cute! Hawaii suits you guys for sure! Have a great time! Enjoy!
I know I shouldn't envy....but I am green! 💚So so envious of your month long vacay in Hawaii!! 🏝🗻 Hope your little family has a fabulous time! And I'm pretty sure Lincoln in his swim attire has to be the cutest thing I've ever seen! 😍 I love that little one piece! Gonna have to find one for my little guy.
🌺Bonnie i don't think you really understand what these Hawaii vlogs are doing to my SOUL! THANK YOU FOR GOING!! 😅 I mean i love you guys at home aswell BUT these vlogs👌 extremley REFRESHING!! 🌺😍
On a side note, as a mom of 4, i am extremley happy for you for being able to take your babies on this trip! It kinda makes me teary eyed😢 ENJOY!!❤ I have spf 100 and i still burn! 😣
I know y'all arent there anymore but if you ever go back, I suggest getting rash guards for every one because I burn really easy! And rash guards work well to help stop burna
When I lived in Cyprus I had to put cotton shirts and cotton trousers pyjama bottoms on the boys on the beach they used to play in the water then when they came out the time they were allowed to be in the sun, I laid they clothes on the beach to dry and then when they were dry put them on again also are used to reputable sunscreen some aren't reputable and they do let you burn.
My. Mom always told me that I am extremely lucky to live A couple of streets up from the beach I mean I literally can walk to the beach in less than two minutes.I never quite understood why that was such a blessing. But after watching your kids be so amazed by the ocean I realize that not everybody is as fortunate as me to live by the ocean. Thank you guys for opening up my eyes 😊❤
Bonnie, I love that all you could think about after your first trip was to take your family, that's so sweet. Enjoy beautiful Hawaii with they ones that matter most!!
I have the flu and these Hawaii vlogs are making me so incredibly happy. Bonnie, you and your family are so precious! Glad you guys are having a fantastic time!!!
It is so breathtakingly beautiful there and I can just tell you're all in awe and just having a blast! Enjoy your vacation! Making memories is the best!
Pine trees, so funny, Palm trees sweep and sway in the tropical breeze. Hope you are enjoying every moment. Life is too short not to visit other places.
We live in Florida and in summer you can burn in 4 minutes in the sun here sometimes. Joel is right reapply OFTEN we reapply every 1-1.5. For the sunburn do apple cider vinegar rags for a few minutes then LATHER in coconut oil to keep from peeling.
Thanks for taking me back to Hawaii! I want to go back so bad! I lived there for 8 months while my husband finished up his time with the Navy. You guys HAVE to go to Kailua Beach. You'll probably have to park on the street, but there's little pathways between homes that bring you to the beach. It is the most beautiful beach and it's never crowded. 🙂🌴
Lincoln is the cutest little baby boy!!! I just adore him, Bonnie! I just can't get enough of him! By the way, video idea: Day in the life! with each family member. That gives you 6 videos right there! Each hour you turn the camera on and check in! That would be fun to watch especially with Boston (he is such a character) I think you taking the entire family to Hawaii for the month is amazing! y'all are a great family 💚 Enjoy😊
💜💜I went to Hawaii with my family when I was Olivia's age, I was just as independent as her! I grabbed my snorkel and went swimming and a HUGE sea turtle swam right underneath me. 🐢 I've never forgotten it and I'm now 20 years old. Bonnie, you and Joel have done an amazing thing for your kids. They will cherish this holiday for years and years. 🦀🐟🐠
everybody was criticizing Bonnie when she didn't take the kids with her last time she went to Hawaii but now she did & it's still a problem it's hard to please some people I'm glad you all are having a fun time 😍😂
Usually after you get the first sunburn out of the way you should just start to tan from here on out! Fair skin problems! Never fun! Hope you guys have a wonderful trip!
Loving these Hawaii vlogs. Wish I was there too! Love all the shots of the kids enjoying the paddle board with Joel. I have to add, lololololol that was awesome Joel! Thanks for the laugh! Bonnie, I am also loving all your beautiful flower dresses! You look great!
Just come to California, we have lots of Palm trees and Hybiscus flowers. I had 2 palms taken out of my yard and still have one. and pin, orange red and yellow hybiscus plants. And 4 plumaria in my yard. In Long Beach their is a mothers cove that I would take my 3 kids to in the summer. they even had life guards. it was wonderful.
Just a tip for next time don’t use factor 70 sunscreen use 50 or 30 I live in Australia and if we use any higher than 50 sunscreen it makes us burn. Also if they have banana boat sunscreen in America use that it’s really good. But whatever you do, do not use ANY cancer council sunscreens it makes you burn not protect you from burning. I hope you see this comment. I love your vlogs soooooo much X 💗
❤ you guys. that mountain you pointed out is the famous Diamondhead crater. it's a great hike but take lots if water if you go. . tons of stairs. so happy you are loving Hawaii!
you guys need to do the Pillbox hike while you're there! it's not really something to take the kids on - but it was my highlight when we stayed on oahu! Hike up before sunrise - it's so worth it! and definitely spend some time at kailua and/or lanikai beach - they are the most beautiful on the island!
That beach was perfection!!! And Lincoln's little legs.....my gosh, I died!!! THE cutest ever! And Bonnie, I am very fair like you and I reapply every hour otherwise I burn 😖 Big hugs from my family to yours from Melbourne, Australia xx
I have super fair skin and I reapply sunscreen every 2 hours or else I will be so burnt! Lather yourself in aloe, hope y'all heal quickly! Love seeing your sweet family enjoying y'alls vacation! ❤
The fish is so unreal...nothing like on the main land, it is like a whole different food group. So glad you swim in a cove...the Pacific can be very rough. So happy for you. Aloha
as far as finding sea shells, Bonnie, you can always collect the smallest, with maybe dif colors and store them in a clear glass spice jar as a knick knak that won't take up much space and won't clutter your home.
The SPF number only refers to the percentage of UVB rays it’s blocking, so you gotta reapply like every hour or two in order to keep yourself protected :) And SPF 50 is your best bet honestly, it blocks out 98% of rays and you don't need to reapply as much as you would with an SPF 70. Hope y'all are having a fun time so far and you won't burn anymore! Haha
I'm a redhead so I burn super easily. Joel is right, it's all about the reapplying, especially with the water. Even though they say water proof, I still reapply when I dry off. Coconut oil will help those burns too! Have so much fun guys! Living vicariously through your vlogs lol
man, i remember Boston wearing those sunglasses i think it was last year maybe the year before and now Lincoln has them on and you can definitely tell they look a lot alike!!!
I have learned even though the sunblock says waterproof and 80 min , I apply every 45 min or so or else I will look like a lobster, ugh. Plus the salt in the water will make you burn more. I am so glad you guys are getting to do the hawaii trip, it looks so fun.
I used to live there, the trick to seashell finding is to go out when the kids wake up at 5 and look!! They are out on the beaches early morning!! Specially on the beaches that aren't in the cove!!
Your vlogs are making me so jealous! We moved away from Hawaii 7 years ago and I miss it! It's awesome to see everywhere my husband and I used to go! (we LOVED Dukes!)
Bonnie, I have blonde hair and blue eyes and I get fried but one thing I recommend is to reapply the sunscreen often and make sure that the sunscreen is waterproof and won't wear off in the water. Love your family and the vlogs! Keep doing what you're doing!❤❤❤❤❤
Oh my goodness the weather looks so amazing there! We have just had the most terrible weather. We were flooded in and many people around us were very badly affected by Cyclone Debbie.. So nice to watch your vlogs.. We are daily vloggers from AUSTRALIA 🐨
That water is so clear! Very similar to the beaches here in Australia.
Glad you survived the cyclone
Yes Australia
Emily.J Thank you

Chelsea I totally agree!
Chelsea I agree.

Paige G correct, everything above 30 is the basically the same. You need to reapply every hour
Sunscreen expires, and I think that's the problem. It was probably just an old bottle. You need to buy a new bottle every summer!
I think thats definitely true ... I have a friend who's constantly visiting doctors and multiple dermatologists have told her that anything over SPF 30 is no different than 30 lol it's crazy how the market creates these things to try and get worried/careful parents to buy more

Bonnie a little tip for getting off the sand is baby powder. Sprinkle on sandy hands, feet arms any where and rub the sand off. Hawaii looks amazing!!

I love seeing the smiles and the scenery and just pure happiness!!! Such a blessing, live it up in Hawaii Hoellins!! 👪🌺🦀🐙🐚🌴🍍🌮🌸🐠🍦🐳🐢

My favorite part was Lincolns baby toes in the sand and the waves splashing so cute! And so relaxing...🌊🌸🌺
Omg I'm dying over Lincoln's hat! I love it!
OMG How cute dod Lincoln look??!! He is a natural beach baby for sure! And I love Olivia's hair like that. So cute! Hawaii suits you guys for sure! Have a great time! Enjoy!
There's something about hearing the birds chirp, the sun is shining and the weather is perfect, it looks so peaceful there! 🌴🌸
Such a sweet shout out :) You guys are so chill and it was lovely to meet you!
When I have a morning I listen to this song, that goes like... It's going to be a good day cause ain't nobody die today.
Bonnie, oh my 💜! seeing Lincoln run toward the water! ugh, my heart can't take it. 😍
I know I shouldn't envy....but I am green! 💚So so envious of your month long vacay in Hawaii!! 🏝🗻 Hope your little family has a fabulous time! And I'm pretty sure Lincoln in his swim attire has to be the cutest thing I've ever seen! 😍 I love that little one piece! Gonna have to find one for my little guy.
🌺Bonnie i don't think you really understand what these Hawaii vlogs are doing to my SOUL! THANK YOU FOR GOING!! 😅 I mean i love you guys at home aswell BUT these vlogs👌 extremley REFRESHING!! 🌺😍
On a side note, as a mom of 4, i am extremley happy for you for being able to take your babies on this trip! It kinda makes me teary eyed😢 ENJOY!!❤ I have spf 100 and i still burn! 😣
The Six Silvas I agree with both your comments! Mama of 5 and can only dream of such an awesome trip with my babies. I'm loving this!
Livin Daily Life i feel ya mama!!😘

Oh my goodness! I'm sitting here watching this video wishing I was there too. I also love seeing your family enjoying this awesome vacation.
Usually after you get the first sunburn out of the way you should just start to tan from here on out! Fair skin problems! Never fun! Hope you guys have a wonderful trip!
Loving these Hawaii vlogs. Wish I was there too! Love all the shots of the kids enjoying the paddle board with Joel. I have to add, lololololol that was awesome Joel! Thanks for the laugh!
Bonnie, I am also loving all your beautiful flower dresses! You look great!
Just come to California, we have lots of Palm trees and Hybiscus flowers. I had 2 palms taken out of my yard and still have one. and pin, orange red and yellow hybiscus plants. And 4 plumaria in my yard. In Long Beach their is a mothers cove that I would take my 3 kids to in the summer. they even had life guards. it was wonderful.
What beautiful memories you're making with your kids god bless.
Just a tip for next time don’t use factor 70 sunscreen use 50 or 30 I live in Australia and if we use any higher than 50 sunscreen it makes us burn. Also if they have banana boat sunscreen in America use that it’s really good. But whatever you do, do not use ANY cancer council sunscreens it makes you burn not protect you from burning. I hope you see this comment. I love your vlogs soooooo much X 💗
Beautiful water. It looks like so much fun. Glad the baby loves it. Good luck getting sea shells.
My mom and I always collect seashells when we go to the beach! Glad you guys are staying positive about all the negative comments. Have fun!
❤ you guys. that mountain you pointed out is the famous Diamondhead crater. it's a great hike but take lots if water if you go. . tons of stairs. so happy you are loving Hawaii!
you guys need to do the Pillbox hike while you're there! it's not really something to take the kids on - but it was my highlight when we stayed on oahu! Hike up before sunrise - it's so worth it!
and definitely spend some time at kailua and/or lanikai beach - they are the most beautiful on the island!
That beach was perfection!!! And Lincoln's little legs.....my gosh, I died!!! THE cutest ever!
And Bonnie, I am very fair like you and I reapply every hour otherwise I burn 😖
Big hugs from my family to yours from Melbourne, Australia xx
What a dream!!! I wish I could do this with my family. Enjoy every second!
I have super fair skin and I reapply sunscreen every 2 hours or else I will be so burnt! Lather yourself in aloe, hope y'all heal quickly! Love seeing your sweet family enjoying y'alls vacation! ❤
The fish is so unreal...nothing like on the main land, it is like a whole different food group.
So glad you swim in a cove...the Pacific can be very rough.
So happy for you. Aloha
Enjoying your videos soo very much. Such a sweet family.
Make sure you put the sunscreen on before you go outside! About15-20 minutes is best. Hope the burns aren't too painful! Sending lots of love!!
It's so heart warming to see you all so happy xx
I love seeing all the PINE trees in these vlogs!
They also have spf 100 and that's what we use when we go vacation. It's great for adults and especially babies.
And the water.Enjoy your time there...you deserve it and you look great!!
This looks like such, such fun! So happy for you guys! And thank you for laughing so much Bonnie - I LOVE it!!
as far as finding sea shells, Bonnie, you can always collect the smallest, with maybe dif colors and store them in a clear glass spice jar as a knick knak that won't take up much space and won't clutter your home.
I'm so jealous. Lol!!! Looks like LOADS of fun!!!! Love this fambam!
The SPF number only refers to the percentage of UVB rays it’s blocking, so you gotta reapply like every hour or two in order to keep yourself protected :) And SPF 50 is your best bet honestly, it blocks out 98% of rays and you don't need to reapply as much as you would with an SPF 70. Hope y'all are having a fun time so far and you won't burn anymore! Haha
Sooooo happy for you guys!! Your children are always dressed so cute! ❤️ you're both such amazing parents.
I'm a redhead so I burn super easily. Joel is right, it's all about the reapplying, especially with the water. Even though they say water proof, I still reapply when I dry off. Coconut oil will help those burns too! Have so much fun guys! Living vicariously through your vlogs lol
man, i remember Boston wearing those sunglasses i think it was last year maybe the year before and now Lincoln has them on and you can definitely tell they look a lot alike!!!
Joel is the absolute best! The love coming from that guy is stellar to see!!! ♥♥♥
I have learned even though the sunblock says waterproof and 80 min , I apply every 45 min or so or else I will look like a lobster, ugh. Plus the salt in the water will make you burn more. I am so glad you guys are getting to do the hawaii trip, it looks so fun.
Hi bonnie and joel. I am a loyal follower
I used to live there, the trick to seashell finding is to go out when the kids wake up at 5 and look!! They are out on the beaches early morning!! Specially on the beaches that aren't in the cove!!
When Joel fell off the board I died with laughter 😄😄❤️❤️ love your family Bonnie and your family especially and all your sisters who vlog ❤️❤️
I absolutely love Bonnie's laugh. ♡
Lincoln's little beach outfit got me so good!!! So unbelievably cute!!!!!
Your vlogs are making me so jealous! We moved away from Hawaii 7 years ago and I miss it! It's awesome to see everywhere my husband and I used to go! (we LOVED Dukes!)
Bonnie, I have blonde hair and blue eyes and I get fried but one thing I recommend is to reapply the sunscreen often and make sure that the sunscreen is waterproof and won't wear off in the water. Love your family and the vlogs! Keep doing what you're doing!❤❤❤❤❤
Um Lincoln crawling up on that paddle board was like the cutest thing ever!!!!!! Joel falling made my day 😂! Sorry Joel
I've been to Hawaii 3 times and it makes me so happy to see you all have so much fun right at places I've been Enjoy! Love you guy
