      I've seen him twice, one right after the accident. Watching him perform Heaven Bound Balloon's made me cry. I believe he cried after leaving stage for a minute I don't know how he did it. What an amazing family they are

    When I lost my husband ( well, I know where he is), it was really hard to accept help or even ask for help. But then, can’t even remember who said it.....”you rob someone of their blessing when you go alone”. God meant for us to do life together, to help each other and to be a blessing.for others.

      Mel H i think there are a lot of those moments for them. Like he said, they didn’t film a lot that day. He was enjoying the moments for sure. We see 30-45 minutes of a 7 day week. Probably films about 4 of those hours. That’s a lot of time for their life. I know what you said was said out of care for them and their emotional health.

Glad you BOTH were able to help London overcome her fear of the mountain. Linc seemed to have zero fear of the mountain! Hope to see more of him skiing soon! I am glad that you guys always find River on every trip. He is so close! Makes my heart happy to see that extra sparkle back in your eyes when you see his signs. Can't wait to see what else is in store for Thursday. Yee yee!

    I think these conversations about challenging your fears is so important. I have anxiety as an adult and I don't think as a child I had enough support telling me I could actually accomplish something if I tried. Anxiety is/steams from fear as I learned in therapy and I think these are such meaningful lessons. Much respect for keeping those moments you feel should be private as such!

    Awe this video made me cry. I have been pretty much home bound for a long time d/t illness and surgeries. But the other day my daughter called me up and said come with me to Mountain High so I can practice my snowboarding. Now mind you, I’m walking with a cane, but I said YES! I had the best day being out in nature in the 36 degree weather and snowing. I just sat at the fire pit tables and watched her and other people. We went for a soup & sandwich lunch and it was the best day I’ve had in many months.

    Oh my gosh! My IG post earlier this morning was exactly about the same thing Granger said. I was slowly vacuuming and steam cleaning my tiles floors this morning. Is I can’t do anything fast. I’ve been sick with lupus and in & out of the hospital many times. Yet when people asked to help me clean or something, I usually said no thank you. I felt embarrassed or didn’t want to put them out. Stupid me. People wanted to serve me and I should let them. So I reminded people to give service to others instead of a gift or flowers. Make a meal, run an errand, clean for them, or pay for a day for a maid service, etc. it’s SO appreciated! 💖💖💖💖💖

    Thank you for taking us on this awesome trip with you. It was absolutely beautiful. I've only seen snow in Utah and Kansas. I was working 7 12s so there was no time to learn to ski. I was born and raised in Texas. My parents took us to Roswell New Mexico one year and it was too much for my parents to work with 5 kids so being the oldest, my sister and i got ski lessons by ourselves. We ended up not skiing and hung out in the lodge. Spent a lot of time outside and almost got severe frostbite. It was a trip i will always remember. Wish i would have learned to ski though. London, you will always remember this too and next time will be easier. Love your vlogs. God bless you all.

He would always say, "I wouldn't do anything to hurt you". While that isn't entirely true b/c he is human, I believed him and always ended up getting off loving the ride or being so proud of myself. I am so thankful now he pushed me! Y'all are doing a great job. Enjoying watching your journey. Praying for your family.
