I watched Shaytards every day when I was in 7th and 8th grade. Life got busy for me. I heard about the family issues and it made me feel conflicted about a family I had looked up to. But after watching some recent videos, knowing these moments are somewhat prepped behind the camera, the happiness in Colette's face and Shay's, and their kid's, is heartwarming. We never know what goes on behind closed doors, but I'm convinced this family is working through everything the best way they can. Their smiles feel genuine, to the point where I get goosebumps when everyone is on screen having a good time.

I know, I spent years watching him grow up from childhood on in Los Angeles as they rode bikes in their back alley. I have decided I never want kids but watching sontard, princesstard, babytard and even parts of rocktard grow up make me feel like this weird extended family to them ❤️

I remember the day when Logan graduated, 9 years passed since then, it's crazy to think... Now Gav is all grown up, I grew up watching you guys.. Congratulations to Gavin and congratulations to both of you for raising such a gentlemen. Cheers.

As the cheater in my relationship, I know it took a lot and I mean a lot of work to get were they are at now. And they don’t have enough time behind them yet. This was a traumatic event in their life and it takes so much time. I cheated almost 15 years ago and I don’t think my husband and I could sit down and talk through it again. It is painful every time it is talked about, thought about and I can’t imagine putting all that out for anyone to watch and judge!!! But they are definitely use to people talking about them and it would probably help people.

I was about 10 years old watching the Shaytards, I’m 23 now and I love seeing how far this family has come. Congrats Gavin! The world is yours so take advantage of everything it has to give ❤️

As a SHAYTARD's fan since the beginning this was amazing to see. Seeing Gavin grow up and mature into a fine young man has been incredible. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

Collette is one of the sweetest, most whole hearted person on this planet. She’s such an amazing mom/person. Ive always admired her

I still remember watching when Brock was born, holy smokes. Time sure does go by. Congrats to Gavin for graduating high school!!

Watched you guys when I was a little girl going through a hard time with my family, praying that one day I would have a family like this. Now I’m all grown up, married, with a baby of my own. Still getting emotional about Gavins graduation! Love you guys and congrats Gavin! 💕🎓

Oh my gosh! I've watched Gavin grow up. I cried watching him sing... such a sweet and special boy to young man. Congratulations to Gavin and to you mom and dad! So glad y'all are still keeping us on the journey!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Can we please get a remake of Gavin’s Thinking Out Loud Ed Sheeran cover?!?! With Colette’s dad on guitar again! His voice & style was so good back then. Imagine now with his mature & developed voice🥹 congratulations on graduating Gavin. He’ll go far🤘🏼

Well done Gavin! Can't believe how grown up all the kids are 😭 I started watching when Daxton was a baby

I love seeing families support one another. Not just parents supporting their children but every single person in the family supporting each other. Way to go guys. It’s a great example your setting.

I'm DYING. DYING that they had Brock's class sing High School Musical and also extremely jealous! You know how happy I would've been if my middle/high school choir had us singing HSM?! 😆😅 And CONGRATS on graduating, Brock! You go! And Gavin!!!!! CONGRATS, MAN! We're all super proud! Congrats on graduating as well and I know the future is so bright! And that voice, man! 👌 Go get 'em!

Maaaann, it's absolutely surreal to see Gavin graduating now. I grew up with you guys and literally remember when Gavin was a small little boy. I've watched all of these kids grow up and it's crazy cool to see them all turn into their own person and do their own thing. Thanks for sharing this great moment with us! Congratulations Gavin! ❤️

There is a part of my 24 year old self that still has this dream to hang out with Shay’s whole family at that trampoline place they always go to on Christmas Eve. So crazy to see everyone growing up. I feel like I’ve been a part of y’all’s family since I was 11.

I truly feel like, minus the last few years, I got to watch these kids grow up and watch Shay and Colette go through their victories and trials and still come out stronger in the end. I even lost a couple of friends who heard about your trials and thought it was crazy that I kept saying I hope they find their happiness, no matter what that looks like. I'm so happy to see that you guys found your happiness again, and I'm happy to see Gavin and all of the kids doing so well. Congrats to Gavin and to the whole family on his graduation!

so crazy. this channel was a huge part of my childhood and i feel most connected with gavin, solely because we share the same name but this moment feels pretty surreal because its crazy to see how i have grown with u guys. congratulations gavin!

Brock is too cute! I love how much innocence he still holds a lot of kids nowadays are trying to grow up way too fast.

Just happy that you‘re here again sharing your life with us!!! These videos bring me so much happiness… because you‘re real. You show your real life, with real kids and a real marriage. I was sad when you stopped vlogging, but I understood. You can not pretend, because you can‘t pretend being a family. And you took time to work on the most important thing: family. ❤️ I wish my parents did that.

I’ve been here since Babytard was literally just a baby and now Gavin’s graduating high school and I’m weeping. Growing up together has been such an honour ❤️

I started watching you guys all the way back in 2013 when I was about to chance schools. I’m now 19 and I’m finishing my first year at university. Every-time I felt like giving up, I’d think of you guys and what taught me as a kid and I still live by the fact that Happiness is a choice. So proud of everything all of you have achieved

Gavins voice is beautiful 😭 i cried back then and im crying now.. congrats gavin!! You're gonna do amazing things man! You've been such a bright shining star since you were small, and now you've grown into a giant blazing fireball of awesomeness thats ready to take on this world!! Shay and colette, you guys are amazing parents. 💕

This family has been with me through childhood, and seeing them all grown up(with avia the same age as me) it really bring tears to my eyes. I wish you guys many more wonderful experiences together and continue to show your love to others.

Gosh I remember when I used to watch you guys when I was in probably.. 5th grade? It’s crazy to see how far you guys have come and I’m so proud of you and your family.

So proud of this family..! The Love, Support , and laughter you give one another- I could cry. My God continue to Bless the entire Shaytard family...!

Oh my God. when Gavin sang .... my girlfriend and I felt like proud parents. Both been watching for over a decade. Beautiful family. Thanks for sharing and we are so happy you're back Lots of love ❤

I cried. I cried so hard. I’ve watched this family grow for so long. Congrats Gavin. God bless this beautiful family

I am so happy for these random dailies. Its crazy to see how much everyone has grown, life is way too short

I, like so many others, have grown up watching you guys. Over a decade has passed and seeing everyone reaching these milestones and living amazing lifes the best way they can has me tearing up. I hope all seven of you know how special you are to thousands if not millions of people. You've been a beacon of hope, the light at the end of what seems a never ending tunnel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being an example of perseverance and love. ❤️ Congrats Gavin! Wishing you the best of luck. The world is yours, go conquer! Congrats Brock! Middle school and all it's adventures await you

I'm not crying :') i can't believe me and Gavin have both graduated. It's so weird to see how fast it's all gone by. So excited for the next phase in life. I'm sure Gavins will be filled with amazing achievements! good luck!

I can’t believe how big your kids got! It’s so amazing to see how strong 💪 and loyal you guys are as a family. Love watching you guys. Been watching you guys for a long time ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Wow, I can't believe how grown up the kids are now. This channel has played such a huge part in all the different chapters of my own life and i'm sure many others... I think of a particular Christmas vlog, or family vacation, or what animals were around at a certain time, and I can pin point exactly what stage I was at in my own life. Thank you for letting us grow up with you, to learn, mourn and celebrate side by side. Thank you for your genuinity and raw honesty. Life is a rollercoaster, but you guys have all held onto eachother throughout it all and your unconditional love is something that I can only hope to harness within my own family~ Congrats to the two boys :)

wow gav all grown up, made me think when my boy graduated, i cried then and am crying now!! aww look at brock getting his grove on, congrats shay on your bicycle rally, i donate to the men's prostate funds all the time, i am so glad forgiveness grows strong with Colette, i prayed for them to get together and sort it out, still loving you all!!

What a classic, beautiful Shaytards vlog. You are a very inspirational family, the perseverance, heart and sincerity are very evident in your families life and I’m so happy you are back on KZread.

Gavin is going to go far with that voice, I had to watch the singing part like 3x in a row, absolutely killed it once again.

I hope one day when you feel ready you will share your story on your marriage. Colette you are a Wonder Woman. So proud of these kiddos too! What a strong loving family, truly blessed. 🤍

What incredible achievements from three great guys. 38 miles is INSANE! Congratulations Gavin!! Your life truly starts now, you find yourself. Good luck! Congratulations Brock! I'll never forget staying up all night waiting to hear you had been born and now you're in middle school! Thays crazy

I've been watching since the start of shaytards, when vlogging was such a new and fascinating thing! These latest videos have made me feel so nostalgic, about a lot of things! Thank you for posting, your videos still give comfort after all this time, which is greatly appreciated in this crazy world today. I am so pleased to see your family doing well. Gavin has such a beautiful voice and confidence, well done Sontard!! Thank you for being yourselves Colette, Shay & family! Sending much love from the UK :)

"Now it's time to get bullied...just don't die." Haha great advice Emmi. 🤣😂.

First vlog family i came upon when they were all so little & seeing them graduate brings tearsss ! 🥲 So proud to see their growth , i love you guys so much !

Aw man, proud moment. I've watched this channel for so long. Back when your babies were wee babies. And now Gavin has graduated high school. They've all grown up so much. Glad to see Shaytards are back. No expectations, just appreciation

I can’t believe how grown all the kids are getting! I started watching in December 2009 at the age of 15 and now I’m 28 and so excited to see your videos again ♥️🥹 I didn’t have a very stable home life/my family is/was pretty broken and your family always brought me such joy! Thanks for capturing these moments again♥️

Love nothing more than watching these vlogs and seeing how far the whole Shaytards family has come. Congratulations to Gavin on graduating high school, to Shay for crushing that bike ride and to the whole family for all that you have done. 💜

I can’t even! 😭 Congratulations, Gavin!! Proud of you!

I love how involved you both are in your kids life! not every parent is this way. you two are one of a kinds 💜

Crazy how time is flying. I remember watching your vlogs when you were still living in LA. Never missed a vlog. You helped me a lot with my anxiety and depression and for that I’m forever grateful ❤️❤️

I cry every time I see kids doing a recital, you can see how proud they are. I freakin love it!

Yeah I cried when Gav graduated, I’ve been watching since the white house. Malachi, when Shay worked at the radio station etc. I’ve seen him grow up. Thank y’all for making us feel apart of y’all

Watching you guys get emotional over Gavin graduating made me hella emotional, thanks a lot shay lol

You Shaytards will always have a special place in my heart! What an honor it’s been watching Gavin grow up on screen and seeing him walk across stage! Shay and Colette, you’re doing a phenomenal job with your family and each other! Love you guys

Forever love this family! I now watch with my own little one. I would watch these vlogs in high school. So happy to see everyone is healthy and happy :)

Congrats Gavin. What an excellent way to end Highschool other than singing at your graduation. These are memories that you will cherish forever. I pray you achieve all your goals now that your in the "real" word. Your life just truly began. God bless!! Also Brock, I must say you have quite the dancing skills and absolutely nailed your grad dance.

I've watched yall since I was younger than Dax... this is so heartwarming to see your family grow up again, especially as I'm about to start mine

Gavin is so brave to be able to sing in front of that big a crowd! Lovely singing as always. Can't believe the sweet little dancing boy is grown up. You must be so proud! On to the next chapter of his adventure! 💕

wow does this ever make me feel old. so crazy that we’ve all seen your kids grow up!!! congratulations Brock and Gavin, and hugs to mom and dad ❤️

i cant believe i've watched this family since emmi was maybe 2-3 years old. its hard to believe that gavin was just dancing the worm just yesterday and here he is! (i fell in love with the name gavin when watching yall back in the day that i named my son gavin, what can i say, its a great name.) congrats gavin! avia is next!

Just like many in the comment section, I grew up watching you guys and feeling like I was always a part of your journey. Shay telling the kids at the beginning of every summer that this was going to be the best summer EVER inspired me to go outside, make memories, and live my best life. At 20 years old now, you both have shared some of the best wisdom and advice I’ve heard. Life’s best moments will forever be hidden behind the word “cliche”, and I thank you both from the bottom of my heart for raising so many of us through your vlogs. Cheers to many, many more shaytards moments captured on camera for years to come! :’)

i remember it being 2014 and i would binge every vlog when i was 14 even when i had school the next day, you guys and bfvsgf and Charles trippy were the goats

So happy to see the consistency! It’s making my heart so happy ❤️ love seeing the family again!

Congrats Gavin and Brock!! Wishing you both a great summer and much success for the future!!

I am so excited that you guys started vlogging again. I have watched since I was in elementary school, and I am now a sophomore in college. I’m so happy you are back and so proud of Gavin!! So happy I got to grow up with you guys!! Wishing Gavin a good luck in wherever life takes him!!

I love that the schools these kids go to have a focus on the arts. That's missing in many schools, but it's so important to a child's development. They become more confident, well rounded adults. Congrats everyone. Now on to the next chapter.

Love u guys. Been watching from the beginning

I have watched you guys for YEARSSS. I grew up watching you guys. I looked forward to the vlogs every single day. When my family life at home was rough at the time, I looked forward to seeing your vlogs and wishing I was apart of your family so bad. It’s so crazy watching all of the kids grow up. I remember watching Brock and Daxton being born. I love that you guys are back!

I want to thank you Shay and Collette for letting me be a part of your family since day one. Gavin Son Tard it's been a pleasure to watch you grow into the young man you have become. You are such a sweetheart and what a voice. I am excited to see where life takes you. Lots of love and God Bless💚💚🙏🙏

I’ve watched you guys since the very beginning, seeing Gavin graduate and sing had me shedding tears. I’m so proud of you Gavin can’t wait to see what the future holds for you as an adult now! And as well congrats to Brock for graduating too! I’m so grateful for you guys, I love you all so much, y’all are my happiness! And again congrats to Gavin and Brock you guys did it, good luck on the next year's achievements! ❤️

This made me emotional, I’ve been watching since Gavin was little. babytard was still a baby back then. Feels like distant nephew of mine graduated. I hope Gavin finds all the love and happiness he deserves going on a new path in life. Love how the kids are always so positive and supporting of their parents and each other. Love you guys 🥰

I can’t believe I use to watch you guys when I was in elementary. Now I’m about to be a senior in high school. Everything leaves once in awhile in life but I’m so blessed you guys as a family overcome the challenges that was thrown at you guys and learned from it and didn’t disburse as a family. I’m so glad that you guys didn’t leave like how my childhood did. It’s such a blessing moment for the eyes and means so much to me. I would wait for your post. My favorite vlog was a Christmas vlog, when you took the family to a trampoline park. You guys inspire me to do great things and lovable life with my future family

I’ve been watching you guys since 2014 and it hard to believe how fast everything goes. My brother and Gavin are the same grade so watching him walk the stage felt heart warming! Crying when you overlayed him singing and walking back to his seat 😭❤️ Congratulations!

Congratulations Gavin! I am sure that in the future, you are going to succeed in whatever path you take. Shay and Collette, you did an amazing job raising Gavin and he so lucky to call you guys his parents. Good luck to everything Gavin! I know you will do a great job at life!

Congratulations Gavin and great job to Shay and Colette. It’s so great to see you guys doing well and how you seem happier than ever!

Shaytards, I’ve been watching for years and have always felt like y’all are part of my family. This was an emotional video for all the fans, so I can only imagine how proud all of you must be of Gavin. Good luck to him as he enters the real world!

Thanks for still including us after all these years. Kinda incredible that we can love and be so proud of these kiddos of yours

your family and vlogs bring me so much comfort

Holy shit. I cried watching Gavin graduate and sing. I have been a viewer since the beginning. I am 26 now. You have been a part of experience on this earth and I am so grateful. Also Brock is sooo cute and handsome!!

Anyone else waiting for a Gavin montage at the end while choir was singing?! Just me?!😅😅😬😅😂 It has been a pleasure and honor watching this family grow up ❤ Congrats Gavin and Brock and thank you Butler family/Shaytards

I’m so proud of Gavin, I know I’m a lot younger than him but still that just makes me want to push myself into graduating because I’ve watched y’all for so long and watching him grow up and graduate it crazy and it makes me just want to push myself ahead to graduate high school as well!

I started watching the Shaytards when I was 14 years old, I am now 21 years old in college and I'm in the radiology technologist program. Watching you guys now is such a blessing , this family have gotten me through hard times and sad times during my teenage years, and now that I am an adult I'm glad that I can come back to a recent Shaytards video in 2022, and comment, thank you.. thank you shay

Congrats Gav ❤❤❤ don’t have to know you in person to be so proud of you!!!! Way to go! And the song gave me legit chills 😅was so amazing!!
