Beautiful ❤️ Family. You are Blessed
It's a good suggestion. He knows what's best for him and his family, but it's a thoughtful suggestion.
I teared up when Great Grandma was hugging the kids goodbye. Very emotional. You can feel her love.
😭😭😭😭
Kids was all over the place kinda, too wild for grandma more control
It’s crazy hearing one of the kids ask why is her house so small 😅 it just goes to show how blessed you guys are most of us living in homes about the same size
Sweet visit
They have a large family as well & a modern home. Back in the day, the houses were a lot smaller.
What would you expect from a 4 year old? Smh
The average 4 yr old doesnt comment on sizes of homes lol@@cynthiamckinney4276
Children no filter
Joe, this was a sad goodbye from Grandma. Make sure you are regularly in contact with her. Try as much as you can
Every little call or visit mean so much.
I’m sure he already knows how to maintain a relationship with his own family.
You’re absolutely right.
It’s always so sad when they have to say goodbye to grandma she’s so old and alone but I’m sure her daughter hopefully goes to visit her and it looks like she has friends that come by her house and a community
This is Butter's first time meeting great grandma. :)
My Nephew is Butter too!!
I don't usually comment, but it seems like Soo Young has a special bond with her great-grandmother. ❤
Alena, you are looking FABULOUS, love your hair color and you are looking toned and slim🔥🔥
I cried when granny said i pray for you and your family, and she goes on says never get sick , work for your kids , too the kids she said listen to your parents, very touching words , Joe is so lucky❤❤❤❤
It was strange to me that he didn't really reply back. Not thank you. Not I pray for you also. Nothing.
How is grandma more judgmental than great grandma? lol. I guess she’s older and she’s focusing more on enjoying the time she gets to spend with Joe and the little ones. I love that she kept pouring blessings into the family ❤️
Joe was so respectful to his mother regarding his hair...Respectful, while still setting a boundary regarding his personal choice for his hair style. 🫶
That's what I liked too
Yes.
Definitely 💯
That’s his grandma.
@@advice4u409 nah he educated his mum, during the car ride
I like how relaxed Joe’s mother was over there home. She really smiled a lot when Amaryah was speaking Korean. I like her and Alena respectful demeanor towards one another.
It looks like mother in law has finally accepted her.
Loved witnessing your grandma’s warmth🥰 I am sure great grandma was knocked out for at least two weeks after the visit with the kids🤣
😂😂
I know right! 😂😂😂And hearing grandma chuckling 😂😂❤❤❤❤Kids are so busy! But what are a blessing!! ❤❤
Lmbo! Absoooolutely! 😂
😂😂😂I said that too. Granny needs a nap
It’s refreshing watching this because it’s so real. A lot of the older generation don’t filter out their opinions and it doesn’t have to be met with great offense. They’re not “woke” nor do I think that they care to be so it’s nice to see that you still met your elders with love. Blessings to you guys!
I love how Joe just laughed when his mother made that comment about his hair he laughed along with her. Joe is humble and a great dad and baby boy meeting great grandma for the first time and bringing something for your elders is a cultural thing my family is from Haiti when we go to a elders house we bring something as a gesture of respect 🙏🏾 it's a common thing sending love to one of my fave CZcams channels Mazelee 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am an African -American and I was brought up to always take a hostess gift when I visit anyone at their home. It is out of respect, thanks and gratitude.
It"s pretty common throughout the world not 2 go visiting empty-handed
Joe's grandmother gave good advice to stay healthy. She said she prays for the family which was nice. You could tell his Mom and grandmother was glad to see and spend time with Joe and the kids.
It's a typical Korean blessing. They always wish a person good health first . 🙃
I have been thinking about Joe's grandmother and his mother. I'm happy to see them with their beautiful grandchildren.
The visit to great grandmother's home was everything! She definitely assumed her role by getting some nourishment for the kids. Fabulous and enjoyable visit!
May God protect and guide her always.Amen!
Joe, u r most gracious! Love how u handled the hair situation, so smooth and leaving no stone un turned love that.
I love great granny from back then and how she used to adore Arazo and Ajedi during their visits❤️
Almoni didn't change a bit.... Sad... You have a beautiful family Joe & Alena. Keep doing what makes you happy ❤
Your children are so active. 😲 Your grandmother probably had to take a nap after this visit.😴
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂 at one point she went to stand and was hurting. Shes super duper cute
Wonder if she is saying next time come alone.
They gave me anxiety watching them.
Alena can make her way to litterally anybody's heart 🥰
They didn't like her at first or that she has so many kids, even though they have known Alena for a longtime, her and joe was bff in high school. I can see & feel that they don't fully like her and are over whelmed with so many kids, I think they learned to accept Joes "black kids", because they actually look Korean.
Alena is amazing, sweet and brilliant they should be honored to have her as Joe's wife. Alena family loves and value's Joe, Alena deserve's the same love and respect.
Yes, you are right, and can I just add what a great woman and mother to all the kids, especially the girl's and her example .❤
Opps sorry I was referring to Alena.❤
@@INDIGO.GODDESS_573 ...except mine. 😄😄
Joe is a true gentleman.
Awww that’s such a blessing to visit your grandma and bring your babies. She’s such a sweet grandma.
Cross culture is okay too! One big callaloo!
@@meaningfultvHave to be a Loving Praying Patient Couple. On Point teaching husband Culture.
That goodbye from grandma was so sad. It's like she was so sad to see them go.
What a blessing to have your grandmother love on your children ❤️
What a blessing! Great grandma is correct, if you have good health (&Jesus), you have everything!
This part made me cry :,)
If you have JESUS, you have EVERYTHING.
Alena & Joe, amazing way to share the Lords love, no boundaries or division . Even when someone is uncomfortable, your family makes them feel welcome. Even when you see differences in other people's responses , it is a joy to see the ministry of reconciliation working through the family.
Amen!
So lovely for the children to see their roots and culture, and to see how different cultures can merge respectfully, live you all, hi Joe
If I could ❤ this comment any more! Thank you Mazelee family for opening up your home & your lives, to us customers lol The opportunity for us all to reflect, especially God's children of how we living His word, love, grace 🙏 We need not be mixed/blended family to live/experience discrimination/judgement, oh but harder still coming from flesh & blood 💔 This was so real, beautifully so, how Alena & Joe navigating, walking in His truth, shining Lord's light- your children learning, they will not stray. Your amazing eldest, respect/compassion speaking with her grandma, encouraging also her Dad to converse in Korean with his mum, despite grandma questioning who she was 💖 Great grandma sharing how she prays for her/Joe & Alena's family, His love conquers all ✝️🙌
Reminds me of the scripture.. Roman's 12:18 If possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably. Sometimes, it looks impossible, but God understands that part, too.
Is it deeper than the hair? The Mom made the comment about Joe's hair choice not reflecting his Korean heritage. That was a deeper than hair comment.
Appreciate elders. So beautiful.❤
How sweet!!! Believe it or not, I'm always wondering how grandma & great-grandma are doing, especially great-grandma. I'm so glad you got to visit her, I bet that was a "medicine" to her heart. ❤️
One person said that Alana stood her ground against until she was accepted, but I will give more credit to Joe for being strong enough to stay with her. Alana didn't have to do much, but be his wife. He's the one who had to kindly stand his ground against family. She didn't have to say anything, but just be kind and available. I've seen quite a few asian men with black girlfriends or wives and there is one thing I can say...they don't get rid of the women just because their parents disapprove of their relationships like American men (black and white) do. In all the cases I've seen, the Asian man will keep developing a relationship with the woman and his parents and hope that the relationships work out fine. The never turn against the woman if they are sure about the relationship and in almost all of those cases, the parents eventually warmed up to the woman and they went on to have good relationships. I've seen American men drop good women all because their mothers disapproved of them. I hope that they will learn from guys like Joe. Stop allowing your mothers to run your lives.
🎯🎯🎯. I never understood/understand that in asian culture. After all it is the son/daughter’s mate and not the parents 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏼♀️🤷🤷🏼♀️🤷🤷🏼♀️
That's the most bold faced lie ever, Asian men more than anY other race tend to marry who their family approves, whilst Blaq guys usually don't marry anybody much lol and White guys have stood up for their Blaq wives (historically, and presently) the most-ever heard of "Loving vs. Virginia" when a White man went to the Supreme Court to make Interracial marriage Legal with the Blaq woman he loved!?? 🤡
After all that is said and done to the Africans those who believe themselves to be better than them should know first and foremost that they are the mothers and fathers of man kind, so with all their negativity and false sense of superiority means nothing, just shows their ignorance.
I've seen that behavior, too.. however, it's when the asian in the relationship is a man , when it's an Asian woman w /a black man she's practically shunned.
Great Grandma is such a kind soul..she loves the kids and Joe very much. I just think it’s so sad that Joe's mum doesn’t know who Amaya is she literally said "who is this person?" and Amaya still remained very respectful and kind..brought me almost to tears 😢
My Grandmother also didn't recognize me in her final years. It was sad, but is to be expected when people begin aging.
Sigh!
@@Gwayceei don't think Joe's mum is that old to not know her son's bonus daughter. I'm sure she didn't realize Amaya knew Korean....if she did she likely would have asked in a more polite way
Because she still lowkey hates Alana and her kids ( not by Joe shoot even her kids with him.) She tolerates them always have she doesn't really love them because they ate black. She only tolerates them because she doesn't want to lose her son
Amaya is so beautiful self-confident and so talented you guys did a really good job raising her I can't wait to see the big things that she's going to do in this world
Bless your great grandma because she was happy to see all of you and tried her best to help keep the little ones entertained by feeding them.
Oh my. I think I'm gonna cry seeing great grandma hugging the children. You're blessed she's still there for you & your family & including your family in her prayers. Treasure the moment Jo. God bless 🙏❤️
Lol the great-grandma teasing Joe about his hair sounds like my mom lol 😏. I would consider locs to be a Black hairstyle that others have adopted, but Joe gave a great answer about even Asian men in past eras having long hair with buns!
That’s grandma (Joe’s mother)commenting about her son’s hair, not great-grandma…
right its very much a black hairstyle
Your grandma misses you and all her great-grandkids. Please keep in touch with her, even a call, especially video.
Joe, you handled the criticism of your hair so well. I am so proud that you respectfully spoke up for yourself. Your hair looks awesome, and if you love it, then that's all that matters. ❤❤❤❤
His hair looks bad though 😅
@@jessiej5765He feels otherwise.. Its his hair, not yours..
This was so beautiful , Joe was so patent with his Grandma and the children ❤
Great Grandma is the sweetest. I choked up when you all were saying your goodbyes
Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏾 So beautiful and emotional to see the family visiting the grandparents. 😍 ❤😭
This family is such a blessing to watch. 4 generations right there. God bless your family always.
This just melt my heart to see you visit your grandma and the love she has for you and your children. I was sad when you had to say goodbye. She gave you words of wisdom that I listen to for my life. Stay healthy to live long, don’t get sick, take care of yourself. Love you all and I been watching your CZcams channel for a long time. ❤
You are such a great mom Alena.The way you gave your daughters long lingering hugs is quite heartwarming 🥰❤️Joe is such an amazing dad and his voice overs in the vlogs are laced with very deep expressions.
Baby is such an active toddler… he made me laugh in this vlog😂😂😂
Yes that baby is full of energy he even had great grandmother laughing 😂😂😂❤
It's so nice seeing everyone together just enjoying the company of one another. So Wholesome ❤
Joe, thanks for sharing your family visit to Mum and Grandma. Absolutely beautiful!! I thoroughly enjoyed the video. Lots of ❤to y'all 🙏
It can be hard with family- you did so well with the mom hangout! 🙏
Such a beautiful, warm and loving family. Brought tears to my eyes. God bless you all always.
The children is almost bigger than they're great grandma! So sweet!
What a blessing to have your Mom and Mom’s/Mom❤️making memories with your family. Great grandma spoke life over those children❤️Joe I notice the good energy with both of them. I remember previous videos , the growth level of you’ll relationship is phenomenal
maturity from both sides. Love how you respected mom as she was being very opinionated about how you transitioned from a young man to an adult. Joe/Alen ❤ the culture awareness you give your family. Mom loves the bonus Grandaughter stating Amia is beautiful ❤️ blessings Mazelee family keep being amazing to many cultures ❤️
❤❤❤ God bless Great-Grandmother. It was so nice to see her again🥰 What a blessing for the children to see and spend time with their great- grandmother and Grandmother. Enjoy your time in MD MazeLee Family😊❤️🙏🏽
It is so important to see families that love each other. This is a beautiful family ❤
Awww great grandma was everything. She’s so patient, kind, loving and nurturing. You can clearly feel the God in her. ❤God bless you all!
So nice to see. I love the grandmother's well wishes as they were leaving 🙏🏽
Wow… great grand mother! Wow! That’s so sweet… thank God for ur great grand mother, grand mother and mother! Wow! I never met any of my great grands from both sides 😢! This is encouraging!😊
Nice to see your mum interacting with everyone, you should meet so often🙏❤
Love this ❤ The kids and Great Grandma just precious. God bless her. I pray you have more opportunities for longer visits 🙏🏼
What a beautiful moment with your children and their great grandma.
I'm so happy to see Joe's mom interacting with the family. It is such a blessing that she has opened her heart to them. Great job Joe! I think your steadfastness in your love and respect for your family made her realize what she was missing. ❤❤❤❤❤
Hey Maze-Lee
Of all your videos, this one teared me up.
I see your Grandmother Great/Grandmother as being a billionaire. They has so much love and wisdom forever for your family. In the beginning, I use to think they would be different with the family, but now my thinking is different. I learn when one is set in their cultural ways, it can be very difficult. But here is what I see that you must do.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Take time to pick their knowledge(brain) of history and culture. Learn about the long agos. Write these things down while they are mentally clear to be true in your mind.
LOVE YOU MAXE-LEE
Got to love smooth chill Joe. Every time he visits grandma he has additional kids lol 🤣🤣🤣
Blessings y'all I just love love love this family
Watching this makes me miss my grandma too. Love this footage Joe! God Bless you and your family🕊
Ajoui looks so much like her grandmothers! ❤️
Alana and Joe the kids r growing beautiful,Joe your mom is beautiful and your grand mother is still going strong.❤❤❤❤
I honestly admire your family!! As parents you both make it your mission to travel to be connected to BOTH SIDES of your lovey blended families
Precious thank you for sharing. May all of you stay blessed.
i have been here from the beginning and when I say that I am being polite, with that being said I will never not say that Alena is truly a powerful woman, she stood her ground in being your eternal partner and WIFE and I admire her so much.. and you of course so much. it takes serious strength to go where you know the thoughts and temperaments of your mom/mom-in-law (saying it again politely). The great grandma tho my heart, I was truly choked up because this goodbye might feel.... different. Enjoyed the vlog and seeing your family side missions lol but today I felt so sad.
Why ?
I’ve been watching you guys since I was teen and now I’m 26. This has to be my favorite vlog yet, I love elderly people and young children together it’s my favorite thing in the world 💕🫶🏾
I am So GLad that your Beautiful BLess Children enjoy there great grandparents I have been watching your VoLG for years praise God Beautiful BLESS family ❤
It was so cute when Amyah, Joe , and Joes mom was speaking Korean.
The hugs in the still are everything😊😊❤
Joe your mum is not relaxed around your family and does not know what to do with herself. Is It a cultural thing? It was good that she stayed longer with you and was able to take pictures with her grandchildren. Soo young does look so much like your mum. Blessings.
I love your grandma Joe. She is always welcoming to your children. I can see that she has aged since the last time of seeing her.
Please video call her often so that the children can talk with her regularly and build a better relationship with her. Grandma is not young anymore.
It is nice to see your family too!
Shes very closed up with her hands folded
She just doesn't know how to relax and communicate wirh the family. I love how it doesn't affect their beautiful family interactions. That woman is so sad
@@joco2076her only son disappointed her and she has mental illness. Marrying someone with a history is totally shocking in the Asian community. Especially the older generation find it embarassing and will be seen as having raised their kids poorly. She must have gone through a lot explaining to friends why her son has such a blended family. It migh5 be common in the west but not with Asians
@@Peter-pe6pp asians are backward and difficult
@@Peter-pe6ppcan’t keep giving them a pass on ignorance
Awwww man🥺 I love great grandma, she is so sweet and was so happy to see the grands ❤
Grandmother calls us customers 😢 we're family not customers😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂🤣😅
She’s right lol😂
😂😂😂
😂
You guys are so blessed to have all the children in your home.
I love this family. There's so much love, peace, and joy. The kids are so smart. Beautiful. The mom and grandmother's reaction to the locs was straightforward but funny. I loved their simple questions. These videos are a beautiful cultural experience. These kids will be able to see their lives from birth to adulthood. Please make sure you have your own copy of every video because the stories are priceless. Blessings to all of you!
Joe i heard your deep breath when you pulled up at your grandmas and than at your moms. Whatever was behind that deeeeeep breathing out, I feel you…
Because he knows they are racist and refuse to change
I’ve seen the great grandma a number of times. First time seeing the grandmother.
What a lovely video. Visiting your grand mom is so loving, see how she is touching her great grand kids, what a blessing. God bless your family.
Aweeeeee 😢😢 thanks for showing your grandma, & mom very sweet, also to see a part of your culture 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 God bless .
It so good to see you guys all together. God bless and stay safe.
“If you live with good health you are living well” you are so lucky to still hv your grandma, god bless her ❤❤
Oh wow, so much love from the grandma's and in the family, so beautiful.
Thanks for sharing this video. I truly appreciate and loved it.
Sending blessings to you and your entire family. 🙏🏾👏🏿❤️
I love that you visit grandma and brought her her favorite sandwich. Family is everything ❤️❤️❤️
Oh what a BLESSING this was! I miss my granny sooo much! This was beautiful thanks for sharing.
It was lovely to see the kids be able to see both of their grandmothers ❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful Family enjoy your day with your grandma and your Mother God is so Good ❤🙏🏿
Grandmas can be savage like that Joe.. No filter. Im sure he knew and didnt seem to take it personally. My grandma was not happy with my dreads either and she's Jamaican... So expecting Korean G-ma to be cool with it would be a bit of a stretch imho. Lol she is still one of my faves though. 😂
I guess 😅
Been waiting for a gramma visit for so long! Thank you for posting!
Bless, Gifted, & Love.😊
Today has been a weird yet such a beautiful day. On women's day , one of my siblings celebrates their birthday, random children have been wanting to be near me . Strangers have been really complimentary . And now this video. Take good care of your grandmother. My grandmother left earth today 😭🫂🦋💓
I love her
🙏🏾🪽
Awwwwwwwwwwwwww love this. What a blessing to have your grandparents
Little Joe trying to eat was priceless. Thank you so much for all the memories.
23:28 Ajoui Really DOES look like Joe's mom. When they were standing next to each other, I thought WOW! That's her face! LOL! And I love Wonbin Lee for Butters! lol! ❤️
I love Jiyu's raspy little voice. Soo cute. Yall make beautiful children.
They are all amazing 🤩 I love this family a lot ❤ God bless you guys 🎉
Love this family is everything ❤
Loved seeing you all interacting with your Mum and Grandmother ❤
Lovely to see grandma and good to hear that she prays and even puts offering for you all🙏
May God give her divine health so she càn live long to see the kids grow.
May God bless you all🙏❤
