- This trip was not supposed to happen, but most of my family is leaving me to embark on a last-minute adventure! Shawn takes most of the children with him, but some of us have to stay behind. I can testify that it's a strange feeling to have our large family separated. In this video, we share our "day-in-the-life" family story from two different angles. I hope you enjoy the journey with us!

I found the video. Awesome Sam
Dearest Sarah, your sewing skills are absolutely fabulous!! I absolutely love your dress and your skirt!! Beautiful 🤩💕🙏🙏
What a treasure that Andrew got when he got Shawn's father's guitar. That is a true treasure that will be loved. God bless you all. Loved the video.
Everyone could use a sweet Sara in their family! She’s so incredibly talented! Thank you for taking us along Shawn. Loved sightseeing with you all! Congratulations to Andrew! Well done!
Bless Sam!!! Seeing him sleep like that make me think of my son Aaron. He could fall asleep, and I would wonder how in the world can he be comfortable. Even when we were taking him to leave for deployment, he fell asleep in the car. I wanted to cry....He was a young man, leaving home to serve, but he was still my baby. Now he has babies of his own.
(from Shawn) It is tough having them at that age, not a kid, but not really a full adult either. Thanks for sharing.
Hey beautiful people ❤ , bless Andrew his face is priceless when he realised its not been played since 1996 ❤❤❤
I Love Sarah’s dress she made, BEAUTIFUL 🥰
Isn't this what life is all about?! Shawn and Janice, this is my favorite video you have put out so far. You could just feel the family love pouring through this video. I am a fellow Christian homeschooling mama, so I appreciate and understand how it feels when family members are away from home. We are used to everyone being together! This video shows others who may not be familiar with homeschooling how homeschool families are so close, from youngest to oldest. We are each other's best friends and companions! We truly enjoy each other's company. It seems when kids go to school, siblings are split up every day, parents go to work, that american families just aren't as close and connected as they should be. I hope this encourages others to homeschool. Family is a blessing; don't give it away to the world. I loved seeing y'all reunited. So kind that they brought Rebekah a gift. So thoughtful. I loved hearing Shawn's comments during the trip. Thank you for sharing this special video. Fun times at home and away. Looks like momma and the girls made memories too .😊 God bless you all 💗
Wonderful video. Thank you so much for sharing.😊❤️.
P.S. Sarah, you are simply blossoming before our eyes. What a talented, sweet young lady. Your mama & dad are so proud I know.
Wishing everyone a Happy Day.
Thank you so very much for leaving a kind comment that encourages and builds up my children! :)
Hello everyone, I always enjoy watching your videos. Sarah, you are a gem! Your mother is so very lucky to have you. Such a special young lady and the dress is absolutely beautiful on you! ❤❤
Beautiful dress Sarah. You did a great job
Love the smell of apples cooking in the fall! Would love the apple pie filling! Thank you!!
Nothing better than families and family history. I thank God everyday that I have been raised to appreciate my foundation and where I came from . Every year on my birthday I call my mommy and daddy and thank them for having me. Without them I would not be. I'm 47 and I'm so thankful to have them both in my life everyday. Never take your family for granted always appreciate what God has blessed you with.
Janice and shaun this was a really good video. I love watching y'all. Janice you and Sarah are such a awesome mother daughter team , I think even though y'all didn't go on the trip that it was a nice bonding time for you two and lil Rebecca too. Love this family
I’m a relatively newcomer to this Ozark family and love it so much I have been binging. I will say that video is one of this nearly 75 year old great granny’s favorites. It made me smile laugh, think, tear up, and wish . Thank you so much and God bless you all❣️
What a fun video! The look on Andrew's face was priceless when he realized his Grandfather was the last one to play it. Great job on the dress Sara, it's beautiful!
It's an adventure for the voyagers, but it is kind of special for Sara and Rebecca too because they get special one-on-one time with mom. So everyone wins! But mama sounds sad. Hugs. Editing to say it was really moving and sweet how all the kids said goodbye to each other ... genuine love being expressed there. That is the ULTIMATE proof of good parenting: children who love and appreciate each other. Love, love, love.
Second edit ... those cheeseballs would NOT have made it out of the state of Arkansas if I was there!!!!
Oh my, I literally laughed out loud at the last part of your comment! I'll make a mental note that you Arkansas folks love cheeseballs! :)
What part of Arkansas do y'all live.
What a sweet girl Anna is wrapping up a treat for her little sister and Rebekah was so excited to receive it. I also saw Samuel making sure he greeted all the dogs. I just love watching your family.
My father gave his youngest grandson my David his guitar he played it and sang at his grandpa funeral it still brings tears to my eyes
Awe great video, I truly enjoyed it for sure. Great editing Sam! ❤ It was nice seeing the guitar 🎸 passed down, that's super special. Also congrats on winning domino's. Sarah I love the dress you made yourself it looks so beautiful on you and the skirt. I can't wait to see how the dress your making for a friend turns out. It's so sweet your making her a beautiful dress.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a wonderful family keepsake for Andrew to get, some thing he can pass it on to his children.
Love this wholesome and self sufficient family. God Bless you all.
I really enjoyed the video your family is so precious. And as another viewer said "good job Sarah on the skirt and the dress was gorgeous, you are so talented in so many areas you will make some young man a very good wife. That was a interesting bit of history about the bridge that collapsed and so sad. Anna In Ohio
Oh wow, talking about a tear jerker at the end there! At least it was for me. What a blessing Andrew received being his papaws guitar. Can't wait to see him play it. Thanks for taking us along on your family trip. Wish everyone could have went, but understandable of why that couldn't happen.
(from Shawn) That was the first time we split up like that for a trip. It was only one night, but still felt odd.
Loved this video. Of course, this 71 year old lady loves all your videos. Shawn, you did good. I love the pictures inserted in place of video. It makes it look more like a vacation. Sarah, I love that dress. It is beautiful! . I just love how all your children show such love for each other and are so appreciative of everything, no matter how small. God bless your whole family.
I loved your video today. You all made me smile so many times.
Great job on the dress Sarah 22:40
Yes she did a wonderful job!!!
How sweet to travel with family and make memories Andrew looks so happy what a treasure I love the dress Sarah made it's beautiful Love watching all of you God Bless You all 💖
Finished watching video it was heart warming and beautiful .just love your family.
Your VLog isn't boring, it's what you call life. 😉 beautiful family, blessings from VA
I loved the blue dress that Sarah made for herself.Great job ! I bet the other dress that she's making for friend will turn out just as great.All your children are so talented, Sarah will sewing and palying piano i think she does the guitar to.Hope to see them and hear when they get together to play instruments. Glad you had a great trip and safe one. ❤ Cindy M.
What an awesome video! Seeing both sides of the trip. Sarah is so beautiful and such an awesome seamstress
Sarah, that blue dress is so beautiful and I'm so glad that Andrew has his grandfather's guitar, surely a family treasure!!! It was nice to see most of the family go on a trip! It must seem so quiet in the house when so many are gone.
Such a precious family. Sara your sewing is amazing. And the guitar . I want to hear some music in the future. I’m new to your channel. I went back to the first one and trying to watch them all. Your family reminds me so much of my childhood. I’m 63 now. On the washing video , that really brought back memories. It was our every Saturday thing to do. My parents are 89 now , bern married for 71 years. We are truly blessed
(from Shawn) We're glad you are here. We have a variety of videos and hope you find them enjoyable and interesting.
Sara that dress is beautiful ❤️ you should consider having your own clothing line, oh my goodness such a awesome job.
This was an awesome video and it brought back so many memories of my childhood when we would travel back to Ohio every where my mom grew up on a farm. She was the youngest of 7 children and so we had huge reunions along with all the cousins as well as extended family.
What a treasure that your son got his grandfather's guitar. It brought tears to my eyes . On another note...Sarah looks absolutely beautiful in the dress she made. What a talent to be able to make your own clothes. .My mom made most of my clothes when I waS growing up. Lots of memories were made even for those who had to stay behind to care for the animals .
(from Shawn) Thank you so much. This video was a bit different than most of ours. Just another glimpse into our lives. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Andrew is certainly glad to have the guitar passed down to him.
He was right by me when he crossed the line......
I was married in the Ozark mountains. ... nice to see the land again
Hello. The skirt and dress was very nice. Great job on everything you making. Blessing to everyone.
Oh my!!! Braun’s brings back so many childhood memories.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I got to see parts of Arkansas and Oklahoma. We have land in Horseshoe Bend, Arkansas but never have been in that area.
I love Sarah’s heart and wonderful to make her friend a dress for her Birthday.
And what a treasure Andrew received from his Grandma. Now his Grandpa’s legacy plays on through Andrew.
Thanks for blessing me today with your video.
❤ Jenny from Sandy Oregon
Thank you for always being so sweet to us, Jenny! Your kind comments make me smile! :)
What a charming, talented young lady Sarah is!
This video was so fun!!
That's what makes it special and Janice couldn't have said it better it's nice to go away and have times but nothing's like coming home there's something so special and wonderful about home where you feel safe and loved God bless you all
I am very glad you're some of your kids got to go on a visit to relatives, it's great to have family! Thanks so much for sharing your special family experience!
Great family moments!!! Love the dress and the guitar! Glad you had fun at the reunion!
I love this video, the guitar and Andrew brought tears to my eyes. Sarah amazes me, is there nothing she can’t do? She is so talented. The trip was so much fun. Again, I will say this family is so sweet, so loving. Touched by God. I’m having so much fun watching you. I hope your channel grows and grows. ❤️❤️
That was one of the sweetest videos that I have seen in a long time. It really touched my heart about the guitar. Lots of memories that Shawn had dad playing that guitar. Great family that loves God.💙🙏🏻💙
You guys make wonderful vlogs. You are a wholesome, good, christian family. You must be so so proud of your kids. They are so kind and well manord. Excuse my spelling I'am Swedish. I follow and loves when ever a new vlog comes out on YT. Untill next time.🥰🙏🎊🎊

So sweet , I can tell y’all don’t like being separated 💕
I love Sara in that color blue
Sarah is so talented! She has so many wonderful skills. She’ll be a wonderful wife and mother someday. So glad their trip was fun and safe.
Aww I love this video! It’s so good to see how well you all do apart (even though you miss each other). You all had some fun in a different way.
Hope The friend enjoys the beautiful dress that Sarah made for her!
That guitar is a very special piece of your family and I could tell by his reaction on the couch that he is more than great full to have a chance to play on it! Your dad is so proud up there watching down! Can not wait to hear some songs on it!
Enjoy watching your videos. Sarah, you look absolutely beautiful in your blue floral dress!!! 💙 And what a sweetheart you are to sew a dress for your friend!! 💝 You have such a BIG heart!! 💖💖💖
Looks like the road trip went well! 👍
(from Shawn) We really enjoyed it.
Hi from Georgia! That looked like a fun trip! Hopefully y'all can all go next time! And how sweet about the passed down guitar. I have some things passed down from my grandparents and it is just a special feeling! I enjoy watching y'alls videos 😊
Enjoyed the video very much today! Great job on the dress, Sarah. It fit you very well. Glad the trip went well. God bless you all now and forevermore!
Great video and you all looked lovely in your outfits xx
That is a beautiful dress, Sarah. You are incredibly talented.
REALLY ENJOYED VIDEO!!!! LOVE SARAH'S GREEN SKIRT SHE IS VERY TALENTED !!!!
That guitar holds a special place in Andrew's heart...I can see it on his face. What a treasure ❤.
I am in Oklahoma.....about 4 hours from Muskogee. My Uncle used to live in Sallisaw, not far from Muskogee. Now I know how the Eskimo Joe's shirts come in...lol!!! Glad they had a safe and fun trip. Love your channel and family!!!
He is coming to my part of the world! I live in northeast oklahoma.
What a treasure to have that guitar!
You could never bore me. I love spending time with you through here. Love spending time with you, Rebecca and the wonderful Sarah xxx

Good morning from ohio please say hi have lots of fun on your guys trip I will pray for safe travels from ohio
You girls take care as you're holding down the fort! It's always tough when our spouse is gone for a few days or a few months. May God bless them with a safe trip and bless you at home! It will be a special time for you, Sara & Rebecca. Love & prayers!
Janice and Shawn, I just love your family! Watching you guys makes me feel so happy. The Simple Life is the BEST like little house on the prairie. I am very impressed with miss Sarah, do you think she can teach us how to sew dresses etc? I think that would be amazing content for your channel. Have a blessed day🙏🥰😘🤗
What can I say.
Just love this family. Sarah is just a jewel, Anna is just like me, I put on my pj’s and grab my blanket. Shawn thanks for the history and sharing your family reunion with us. Janice you and Sarah held down the fort which was important. ❤
I really enjoyed it😊
Prayers for a safe trip and an awesome time!!!!!!
Sarah! The blue dress you showing us is so pretty!
My dear Sarah you are so gifted!🎉🎉❤
Those neck pillows are great for sleeping in the car Sarah could make them
Wow what a milestone. 100 years
How awesome you can spend some quality time with Sarah and Rebekah and Shawn can spen time and have fun with the rest of them. Looks like everybody had fun. Sarah your dress you made was beautiful. Great job!!
Loved this video! How wonderful for the gifted guitar! What a nice trip! Oh Sarah, the skirt and dress you made are so gorgeous! Happy your all home together again! I get so happy every time I see your beautiful Family! God Bless all of you! Hugs
What a well-packed van. The girls look lovely in their dresses. I have fond memories of pretty dresses and family get-together/reunions. You remember those kind of good times forever. I also remember special 1:1 time with one parent or another when one of them had to stay home due to chores or church related events. I was often the child that stayed back for longer trips-- being the oldest and all. What a wonderful video Janice. Special late summer times before winter comes. Thanks for sharing.
I love hanging out with your family, always something interesting going on. ❤
I loved this video for so many reasons! Such a sweet family! Thank you for sharing your reunion with us and the joy of coming back home! It was nice to see glimpses of Oklahoma and Braum’s!!! I moved back to Colorado from Tulsa with my 2 adopted daughters in Aug of 2015 to help my mom after my dad passed.
Sarah did a wonderful job on her skirt and dress!! So precious that Andrew got the guitar!! Blessings to all of you!!!
(from Shawn) Thank you so much. Hope your family is doing well.
We both (husband and I) enjoyed this. Got so excited as you entered Arkansas!
Awww this was a really really sweet video! The love - - those siblings sure love Sarah too... it's really nice to see. Sarah is a really lovely young lady ❤ Such a great 'watch' - makes us feel happy to keep connected with you guys through your wonderful content. Great to have Shawn's perspective too.
Thank you for the sweet comment! We're all so very happy that this CZcams experience has allowed us to connect with amazing people (like you two!) that we wouldn't have otherwise gotten to know. We sure do love you guys! :)
That dress is absolutely beautiful Sara, you did a awesome job on it! 👍😸
Aww great video! I bet the dress Sarah makes/made is beautiful and her little sister will love it!
I am dogsitting my Dads english bulldog right now and as you were filming their returning and the dogs were barking, the bulldog here went crazy! I told him to stop a couple times and gave him the "knock it off" look and he looked at me with his head sideways like I was out of my mind. He then proceeded to bark at the walls. It was hilarious!
I think I've said this before but every home needs a Sarah. There is no end to her talents and she does everything with so much joy, enthusiasm and love in her heart. Sarah, you looked absolutely STUNNING in your beautiful blue dress! I am positive that your friend will love the dress you are making for her. Your skirt looked so warm comfortable and this is something I would wear. In fact, I have been hunting down a green checked shirt like Sarah's one for a while now. We have similar taste in clothes. Abigail and Anna looked beautiful in their new dresses and the boys were all looking smart too. I'm glad you all enjoyed your time with your family. Andrews face when he realised how special the guitar was had me reaching for the tissues. For years now i have had my Dads guitar that he bought second hand when he was a student in 1966. He taught himself how to play it and it was passed on to my brother, who also taught himself how to play it. When he bought a new guitar, the old one was passed down to me and I too taught myself how to play it. It has served our family well and means a lot to me. I hope one day Andrew can pass his guitar down to his children or Grandchildren too. Blessed family ❤️🕯️🙏
Hello everybody! Love and enjoy your beautiful video Always watching you from Montreal! Thank you
Fabulous video 🤗🤗 Sarah's dress is lovely, she is very talented. Love & Prayers to Auntys 100th Birthday 💗💗🌻🌼🌾🎂🎉
What a happy video! I just passed down an electric guitar to my son. My dad and I got it for Christmas in 1969. I put together a collage of dad, me, my son and grandson each playing it. I love that photo. 😍
Oh, that's so neat! Shawn's Dad would've been thrilled to see his grandson playing his guitar. :)
Wonderful family.😊
Sarah that blue dress is gorgeous! And it looks fabulous on you.
Not boring enjoy videos
Liked this video very much. You are a very sweet family to watch.
I remember when that bridge collapsed. My uncle was a truck driver and just went over that bridge 8 mins before it collapsed.
1oo mile detour when that. Bridge fell
What a lovely video…thank you so much for sharing.
Beautiful dress Sarah, very talented young lady!
So enjoyable to see the garden. My hollies are covered in berries , red, green and yellow. Pyracanthas bushes are very pretty with orange and red berries. Rose hips are big and red. There still are grapes on my vines, which have grown into a cool room where I can sit in the shade, even do some ironing. Roses are blooming. My neighbour dropped off some courgettes again today. Apples dropping off my huge old tree- they are a very old variety which become earring apples for Christmas. When we moved here 40 years ago we used to get about 10 apples that my husband used to wrap up and give to some of his old patients for it was the apple of their childhood.
Oh, that was so lovely and well-written! I could picture it in my head when you described it. Thank you for sharing it with us! :)
Andrew really really appreciates that guitar ❤
Yes, he does! He still plays it on a daily basis! :)
Happy Mother’s Day 💕
Love this video. Some of my husband's family live in Muskogee, OK. He has told me the story of the barge hitting the bridge. I visited Muskogee when we were first married about 25 years ago. You all such sweet family. I always get so happy when I see a new video posted. Blessings from Tennessee!!
(from Shawn) That is the area where I grew up. Thank you for your comments.
My father was from Oklahoma and we would go there for family reunions have been there in awhile my father is gone now and one of his sisters my aunt is still living and many cousins are still there but due to expensive high prices I haven't been back to visit
