- This week is jammed packed full and quite eventful! Come along as we laugh our way through my mom learning to ride an etrike, enjoy the beauty of the summer season as I buy and plant flowers, and being horrified as a 'cute cake smash' does not go as anticipated.

#mennonitemom #weekinthelife
Oh my goodness, I am a 78 year old great grandma who laughed out loud during this episode. First at your mother learning to ride the trike and then at the cake party. What fun! You are so brave. There is no way in this world that I would have gotten on that ârideâ. Your family is precious. Thanks for sharing your life with us. I, for one, have enjoyed every episode.
That cake smash was wonderful. Lexie crying and the guys making a huge mess and having fun. I loved it. Thank you for sharing. Not a waste of food at all. That was a priceless family memory. â€ïž
I am a 65 yr old grandma. This was so funny and so cute!! Your husband alexander looked like something probably some people in our family would do. Happy 1st Birthday Lexi!!!! There is something about that age they just don't like to be dirty and goopy . I have four children and I remember this age my first one was my picky one. And the bike riding oh my goodness that was too funny. Way to go to your mom and dad. I just have to say I thoroughly love your channel your heart, Your heart for the Lord, family everything. I just want to say bless you. †You're always encouraging others well here†We are encouraging you and love to your family and to you and big hugs. We so appreciate you
I think Zander could sell ketchup popsicles to women in white gloves! I love flower shopping. You mom is adorable! †I canât believe Lexi is 1! đ
That is hilarious! Never heard that before will have to tuck that saying away for future reference đ
đ đđ đđ

I so agree about Xander.
Zander is so big now!
He has a good example of loving to help in his dad. Good to see you so happy.đ
Thank you for sharing Grandma on the bike - what a good sport she is! The cake smash was epic along with the photo op! The overcoming fear part made me very glad I was not on that trip, LOL! Blessings!
I havenât quite been able to put my finger on it but I now know what I love about you. You are living proof that being a Christian can be fun and exciting. It doesnât mean that you walk around quoting scripture all day, never daring to crack a smile or enjoy great food, great friends, and yes, being used as a human catapult. When I see you, I find myself saying, âI wish I had more of that in my life.â The only thing that may hold us back is ourselves. You, my friend, are uplifting on so many levels. Thanks for sharing your life with us. ~ Linda
Thank you so much Linda! That means more to me than you know as this has often been something on my heart. I've seen the somber, take life so seriously all the time Christians that can never laugh at themselves or life in general and I've often felt that's not what God is asking of us. Could give reasons as to why but this is too long already. Thank you for taking the time to share and comment!
Enjoyed this immensely!! The cake smash getting out of hand reminds me so much of my husband and sons and then the little one, who the cake smash was meant for, is crying in terror like I imagine my 1 year old doing. lol
I love that you got to get away with your church sisters. †that sounds lovely!
I think it's a universal guy thing, aye? đ
Your mom learning to ride the trike had me in stitches! I donât usually laugh out loud at videos but wowđ that was soooo funny, and the comments she was makingđ Glad she was willing to let us in on the fun! I know Iâd be terrible at driving that thing! Soon sheâll be zooming everywhere on it!
đ it gave me quite the laugh as well!
Your Mom was too funny on the bike. I couldn't stop laughingđđđ
I can't believe Lexi is 1 that has gone so quickly. You have such a lovely little family Jeanine and you are such a good mum x
A year already?! Happy Birthday Lexi! Great job to your mom for not giving up. The cake smashing party was so funny. Connections with friends are valuable. Love the video. Have a blessed weekend. Thanks for sharing â€
A great, fun vlog, that kept me smiling; thanks for sharing! Yes, community of loving people is what this world needs & is the example that children need to see so they have hope for happiness! Your mom is a great sport (& sheâs probably younger than me at 70 years). That ride would likely do me inđ Youâre so talented! Blessings to all đ€đđšđŠ Happy 1st Birthday, Lexiđđ«
Over twenty minutes of smiling and laughing really makes oneâs face hurt lol
And yes, at least once a year spend time with the women in your life without the children, it really does deepen your relationships and your walk with Christ â€ïž Beautiful!
What a fun video. Your mother was hysterical. Such a good sport. Happy birthday Lexi.
Well, It seems the boys had a better first birthday than the baby. So fun to see Nolan & Zander together. Zander with no front teeth !! Glad you & the girlfriends had a good time. Your Mom is adorable. She didn't give up, though.
Loved this video. Your Mother was having such a good time learn to ride that bike. I am 77 and laughed go hard at her having fun and at your "boys" taking over the cake smash. Good job conquering your fear, I'll stay on the ground and watch.
I can totally commiserate with the struggle of taking baby photos!! The cake smash was so fun to see, though I did sympathize with Lexi and her being disturbed lol.
I would love to get my church ladies on an overnight trip like you are talking about. But some of them can hardly leave their hubbies at all lol (just their personalities). Thankfully we do spend a lot of time together as families, even overnight sometimes, and I am so grateful for the close spiritual friendships I have.
No excuses needed, this video was perfect on every level, lots of giggling and bonding đ I am so proud of the slingshot, well done!
Thanks glad you enjoyed our chaos
Love the way your planters turned out! Waste of food? Nah, that junk was probably better for making a mess than consuming. đ
Yes agree! đ
Lexi is just adorable, sheâs a mini Nolan, such cute photographs. Not a waste of food at all, 50% of the family had great fun with the cake - it does your heart good to see Nolan and Xander messing around. Xander is a great help and growing up so fast. Teaching your Mom to ride a trike was just so much fun and she looked like she had a ball.
Belly laughs ..Grandma and Food fight what great laughs, we all enjoyed. Zander you are the best big brother and son anyone could wish for.
So much FUN was had by everyone in this video, except maybe Lexi at times!!! LOL!!! Thanks for the good laughs!! You all will always remember the cake smash birthday party!!!! Xander is such a good helper and so cute with his missing tooth!! You are so brave Jeanine and I think you might get that from your Mom!! She was a trooper on the bike!! So glad you got away with the girls!! Have a wonderful holiday weekend!!! God bless you all!!!đ
I really enjoyed this video. Your mom is a good sport. The cake smash was a âsmashâ hit! Lexi crying while Nolan and Zander were having fun was priceless. P.S., your red/orange print dress is super cute.
Xander did such a great job with that bike explanation! He is such a good help! Happy birthday, Lexi!
Your mom is adorable!
I can't believe that Lexi is one!
Thanks for the reminder about investing in friendships. I tend to be a hermit myself and I am just starting to be more involved in things. We tend to be creatures of habit and miss out on so much.
I always think that your flowers look lovely. đ
Zander is a great helper! My baby goes and feeds the orioles and catbirds their grape jelly every day. đThey get a miniscule amount so that it doesn't get eaten by every other thing.
Oo i wish I could have orioles. They are so pretty! And I agree with the creatures of habit thing. I can get so stuck in a rut!
What a hilarious and inspiring video! I was smiling and laughing, especially at the cake smash! Your mom is amazing and so funny, just like you! The music was so appropriate, especially during the photo shoot. And Xander is just such an amazing boy; you have a wonderful family! God bless you!
I'm glad you enjoyed laughing with us đ have a great day!
Your daughter is darling. Zander is a great helper
Thank you for the best laugh I have had in a very long time. Your Mother is delightful! Happy Birthday to your sweet girl đ
This is my all time favorite video. I have had some health issues and have missed some episodes. I am catching up. Your Mom is the cutest lady. She and I would have some fun!
Happy birthday to sweet, beautiful and adorable Lexie. The boys taking over the smash cake!! So funny.
This was just what I needed. Jeanine I love you and your family! Thank you so much for your videos.
I forgot to mention your gorgeous flower beds. They are wonderful. Lexi enjoys playing in the dirt. She even enjoys the taste of it. Maybe even more than cake!
I'm sorry to hear about your health I hope you are doing better? That's never fun to go thru. đ„Č glad you enjoyed meeting my mom đ
Oh my gosh! Lexie sure looks like her mama! Great video! Thank you for sharing!
This had me cackling!!!đ Great video! Happy Birthday to Lexi. đ
I am just cracking up at this video!!! I think it is right up in the top 5 of the greatest videos ever! Loved the cake chaos! The slingshot was so cool. I watch videos of that on youtube all the time! Your mom on that bike had me laughing right out loud! đđđ
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed laughing with us đ it was a fun week
Happy birthday to Lexie!!! đđđ I thibk Xander & Daddy had a bit of fun with the cake!! Lol I actually laughter at loud at your mom & dad on the e-trike, that is exactly what I need!!! â€
I'm telling you your family is such a precious gem I mean they're so funny and you are having such a blessing
Those little fingers in the dirt. So sweet! I liked the little line you said of moms doing âbits and piecesâ. It sounds like a vlog styleđ!
Those pictures are priceless! This has been a GREAT video! Thank you for sharing.
Your Mom is such a hoot! I just love your vlogs so much ! Always makes my day! Happy Birthday Lexi! I canât believe she is one! đđđ
Happy Belated Birthday Lexi. đđ„łđ. The cake smash was great, a fun memory for the kids.
Great video. Your Mom was adorable and funny. Happy Birthday Lexi.
Loved all of this. But you and your Mom laughing was priceless!!!
The cake smash was so funny , canât believe she is already 1 . Happy Birthday little one đđ
So fun!đ Love your mom! Happy birthday little Lexi!
I haven't laughed so hard in years! Lexi's cake smash was priceless and thank goodness you recorded it and shared it. I haven't seen a family have so much fun in years! The minute I started watching your video I started grinning from ear to ear during Lexi's photo shoot and your mom's bike ride but I totally burst out laughing at the cake debacle! That really takes the cake!
Iâm so proud of you!!! There is no way Iâd do that in a million years!!!!
This made my day! Havenât laughed this much in a while! Your Mum on a bike started it ⊠the cake smash was something else! đ And as for Xander, what a great son and big brother! Sending love from the U.K Xxx
Glad you enjoyed and could share in the laughter with my mom. She made my day too đ
This was hystericalâŠyouâll be so happy to have this one day to look back on!
The smash cake. đ€Ł Your husband and son, beautiful. My uncontrollable laughter. It's was such fun, just to watch.
Wonderful cackles and the BEST cake smash EVER!! Happy 1st. Birthday to you all!!!
This was a fun video by all ! I was so impressed you concurred your fear with your friends â€ïž
Laughed so hard . Really fun watching all the "bloopers": your mom on the bike ... she was having a ball. HBD to Lexie - looked like all were laughing hysterically except Lexie. Thanks for sharing. đđ
I canât believe Lexi is already one! I love watching your precious children grow!
What a fun video!! Everyone needs to let your hair down and have a crazy fun day. Loved watching mom ride her trikeđ€Ł Thanks I needed this!!! You did get some great pictures of Lexi. Also loved the song for Lexi!!18:44
Happy 1st Birthday to sweet baby girl Lexi!!đđ„łđ Nolan and Xander definitely got the better end of the cake smashing.đ As a fifty-five year old grandmother of two granddaughters who love riding their bikes, I think it's great that your mother has learned to ride the awesome E-bike that you so kindly gifted her. It'll open up many hours of enjoyment of riding, both with and without her grandchildren. It was absolutely hilarious watching as she conquered her learning curve.đŽđ»ââYour father too was having quite the fun.đ I đŻ% agree with you on the importance of fellowship with our sisters in Christ. The strengthening of those precious bonds brings a supportive aspect to our lives that can be found in no other relationship. What a blessing to have those friendships, not only in the good times, but the difficult ones as well. Can't wait to watch as your newly planted flowers continue to grow and share their beautiful blooms. As always--much love and prayers for your family's guidance, protection and blessings abundant from our Lord and Savior.đđ
Thank you Patty. đ I appreciate you taking the time to comment! Have a lovely week!
Your mom on that bike was so funny!! Her laugh was amazing!! đ
As usual, your videos are perfect! Your Mom is the best - what a great sport â€ïž. I laughed out loud.
I LOVE this! ALL of it! Thanks so much for sharing your life with us.
Loved the cake fight, grandma trying to ride the trike and flower planting and all of it! That was so fun and I had a good laugh! Love time with friends and Christian sisterhood! We need that so badly! Thanks for the video!
Glad you enjoyed than you for taking the time to comment! Have a great weekend!
Happy Birthday Lexi. I think Xander is going to follow in his Mom's footsteps. He does a fabulous job on the videos. Smart and cute, what else can he need, except love. Love all your videos. Look forward to each and every one of them.
So so funny!đ I haven't laughed so hard watching a vlog in a long time! Good job! Thanks!
Love love this video. I have not laughed so hard in a long time. Xander is a big helper. Happy Birthday to sweet Lexie. Love the last of the video where you and your friends got away. That is a wonderful idea. Keep the videos coming.May God Bless You!
I really love that flower bed with the stacked stone walls around it. SO PRETTY!! â€

It sure will be đ
Best bike advertisement ever! I laughed and laughed! đđ your mom is so sweet
A getaway with sisters in Christ sounds wonderful! I very much enjoyed your mom learning to ride the trike, and that cake fight. lol Your daughter looks like she's going to be the "get the sticky off me!" kind. I was too! And good job on not letting fear stop you!
How I wish we could start planting here in Canada. Still frosty mornings and almost freezing temps. Thank you for the color!!
Your parents were having the best timeâŠ. Bless them⊠cake smashing absolutely brilliant
Cake smash perfection!. Your music choices are spot on. Lolđ The timing!
I had a good laugh with you, Janine. I have a good sense of humor right along with you. I rode bike as a youth and was very active. I'm not sure how it would go for me now. đ I sure enjoy your posts.
What a fun video! You have a great family, full of life, laughter and so much love and perhaps a rear or two. Thank you â€ïž

Hello Janine. I can honestly say that I laughed so loudly that my dogs were perplexed. Your mother is a trooper! But I laughed at the ditch drama. Love your garden; Iâm never happier than when Iâm in my garden. The cake smash was hilarious, poor Lexi didnât know what to think, but the men of the family sure do enjoy a good ole cake smashing. Once again, my dogs were surprised to see how hard I was laughing. Iâm glad you had such a lovely time with your friends. Youâre right, we need to keep our relationships cultivated. No rides for me, ever! Kudos to you. I admire your photography! Saved a lot of money, and produced some fantastic photos! Zander makes the world a better place, as do you. Iâll say it again, no rides! †My apologies to your mother for laughing at her expense. â€
She is a trooper! đ I'm glad she allowed me to video her as she's the sweetest person and I think she cheered up many people's day. đ tell your dogs everything is fine đ€Łđ€Ł
I love Lexiâs pictures! Happy Birthday to Lexi! Oh my gosh the cake smash was great lol I canât believe you went on that ride! You all are braver then me đ
oh my goodness, you are one crazy family, Biker Grandmother included! So much fun to watch.
đ
O my word this was so fun đ thank you for the giggle
Best cake smash ever!!!đđ
Loved watching your sweet mama, we laughed with you! Thanks for sharing!
We love Lurgan's too! Wow can't believe Lexie is one already! Happy Birthday sweet Lexie!! Your mom is so sweet. What a special familyâ„
Oh my âŠ..(That was so funny watching your mum and I loved her laughingđđđđđ) Thank you so much for sharing đ
So much fun watching your mom learning to ride a bike so much laughter. Pictures are always challenging with kids ! Sheâs so precious and so adorable . We never left our children have a smash cake! Maybe I didnât want a huge mess. The boys enjoyed it though
Yes I got stared with Xander and decided to keep going. Not sure I'm a fan either. đ
Happy belated Birthday sweet little Lexi. I would cry too if I had cake all over međ awesome video! â€ïžblessings to all!
Thanks for sharing the fun, time flies when your having fun
It really does!
Can't believe Lexi is one! Happy Birthday Lexi! Great photography!!!! Amazing photos from such a squirmy wormy photo shoot! Groans for the food fight. Guess you know all you need to do is buy a cake if Nolan ever gets in a funk. Congrats to your mom for tackling the electric bike! She has such an infectious laught! Love that you had a great weekend with your friends. Could never go on that ride, so kudos to you for tackling it. And love seeing the flowers. Xander is just a presh, special boy. He continues to grow in grace and goodness. All the best!
That's true! I guess a case smash will be a mood brighter for Nolan. đ I'll have to tuck that one away
What a great video!đ
Happy Birthday, Lexi!đđđâ€ïž
As far as the cake goes, sometimes itâs just fun to jump in and do everything you know you shouldnât! Life has so many ârulesâ, that it feels good to just throw caution to the wind and cut loose!đđŒđ
That fair ride will forever remain on my list of âfears I choose never to conquerâ! đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Xander is growing up and becoming such a big boy and so much help! Hugs to himâ€ïžâ€ïž
Blessingsđ
đ I agree with you! The best memories often come when we color outside the lines đ you sure you don't want to conquer that fear? đ it's exhilarating lol
Jeannine, this was a most entertaining video!đđ Your Momma is such a good sport! About a quarter of a century ago, my Mom tried to learn how to ride a đČ she never did learn, kept veering off the road. It was hysterically funny! Lexi is a picture of lovingnessđ đ she let's you know when she's displeasedđ Xander is acting like the capable older brother.â€
Aw I love lurgan greenhouse so many amazing memories plant shopping with my mom and grandma! â€ïž
That was a precious video. I laughed and cried. Thank you for sharing.

This was a great video Jeannine. Happy bday Lexie.
Your little momma is adorable! She's young at heart and a spry sweet little momma. I just fell in love with her. Ty for sharing your life. Love to Nolen and Zander.
Oh my goodness! Ă laughed and laughed! Your mother was just adorable. đZander was so cute and I so enjoyed all your activities. I enjoy. All your videos.

My (almost) 4 yr old loves watching your videos! Heâs very interested in how things work and especially enjoyed watching Zander explain the trike. đ
