Seeing you play the piano and Joel singing with the kids has to be the sweetest thing to see so happy your friend caught such a sweet moment . And Bonnie just know you have a lot of people continuing to pray for you and your family.

Boston's ordeal was scarier than the tornado warning.. I loved the first thing he saw when he surfaced was Olivia's hand reaching out to help him. She's an awesome big sister.

Poor Boston, that is scary to fall off the pier yet, his sister was right there reaching her hand down to him to pull him up. What an awesome sister to be watching out for him. Some sisters would be obliviously to watching out for their brothers. Seriously.

Womp womp man up what’s this kid like 10-11 gotta start maning up I’m 15 kids a baby

I know what you mean about internalizing everything your kids are going thru. It doesn’t go away, even when they graduate college and are on their own !

It’s amazing how much Boston looks like Joel now he is getting older. I didn’t really see it before but Boston’s expressions and mannerisms in the vid are all Joel.

The primary children singing I Am a Child of God, my heart!!!!! My favorite, along with Families Can be Together Forever, but children singing it, absolutely warms my heart. Sending hugs to you and your family🫶🏼🫂

Just a warning about being out in the rain in Florida. Anytime it rains there is always lightning. Lightning can strike up to 100 miles away since our state is so flat. Besides being know as the sunshine state we are also the Lightning capital. I will give you and example. A man and is daughter were coming out of a baseball game in Tampa, it had started to rain, there was no thunder but out of no where they were struck with lightning. That is why you will not see Floridians out in the rain.

Okay but Jared’s dads picture in Bostons wallet is THE CUTEST thing!! ♥️

Great video! Sorry Boston fell in. Glad he’s okay. The wallet contents were cute to see what is important to him at this time in his life. Bonnie - we can see your love for all your children. They are so lucky to have both you & Joel for parents.

I was a childrens ministry leader for over 25 years and loved it. 🥰 We had many pageants over the years and weekly lessons.

You guys needed this trip! ❤️ love seeing a smile on your face Bonnie!

Olivia watching her dad lead is so sweet.❤ Aww and now to hear Boston say that as soon as he came up from the water he seen her hand and she pulled him up. I hope that little girl knows how important of a piece of the puzzle she is! The best big sister.

Playing in the rain is a core childhood memory!

Oh god, he was in water where they were unintentionally chummimg ( because they're cutting / cleaning fish and probably getting it in the water ) so there's also THAT fear on top of all that you've been dealing with this past year. And falling in can happen so fast, no wonder Boston doesn't remember it but so glad Olivia was there to help get him out!

I'm an early subscriber but just recently started watching the vlogs again. Hearing Olivia's voice and how big the kids are now, it's crazy seeing how much the kids have grown. What a happy family

I am 6 months pregnant and struggling with depression which I have had for almost 5 years. I feel guilty for being depressed when I have so much to be happy about but it is just something I struggle with. Today, your video made me smile. Just like they always do. This video is happiness, I love you guys so much❤️

I feel guilty over the way I feel also. Which makes it worse. I am so glad my video made you smile. Hang in there. 🤍🤍

Very well said Bonnie! My prayers are with you and your family.

The first video I ever watched of yours was when Lincoln was born & Boston was in the hospital pushing the call button for the nurse repeatedly 😂...to see you all now- especially Boston, grabbing his knife off the counter to clean it off & you not react (because he's so responsible and grown up now) just makes my heart smile. Love watching. Thank you for sharing your lives with us ❤

This was a beautiful vlog. I am so so glad Boston is okay. Brought tears to my eyes.

Experiencing horrible weather here in Kentucky as I am watching this video. Tornadoes, hail, wind and thunder. So if I die…. Just know that I was watching your video with a smile on my face. 😊Praying for your entire family and healing of hearts. Praying for mom & dad Griffith. Praying your siblings. ‘ALL’ of them, and praying for you. Cling to Jesus he’ll get you through. 😘❤️❤️❤️

God is bestowing His Grace on you Bonnie. You are a wonderful wife, mother, daughter, sister and child of God. I’m not even Mormon, you can see the light of God in you. You are also just an amazing woman!

Glad everyone is ok. Heavenly Father is watching over you all.

I’m an old lady in Australia 🇦🇺 and I want to be reincarnated as one of Bonnie and Joel’s kids 😊

Please give your family and your siblings and parents I am praying for you all God bless love you all ❤

It’s been so rainy in Florida this winter and also cold. If you come back next year maybe it will be a more typical season for you. And Bonnie, I can sense some PTSD type of symptoms and it is to be expected after the year you have had. It will get better with time and with meds. (Not to even go there about meds but I want you to keep the faith)

You guys need vent covers. Then you can leave your vents open in the rain!! 😊 Love your family!!

We recently moved from Utah to Georgia and are in a small branch as well. It's such a different and unique experience than any church experience we've had all our lives. It's so sweet and we are loving it! I hope you enjoy every moment here in the the South! 💜

I knew as soon as the clip started showing the boys playing ball in the parking lot while it was raining that you were loving it before you even said it lol This video just touched my heart. You and Joel are such loving, devoted and caring parents. Thank you for sharing it all with us. Much love to you and your adorables! ❤

The first clip warmed my heart. I am Italian but part of my family is from Dominican Republic, and it is normal to go out in the rain and run around, play, jump, dance (for all ages)❤❤ I actually miss it. We don't do that in Italy (annoyed face)

My daughter, just a week ago, was playing on the ice over the snake river. Well the ice broke and she fell in. Yes, not our finest parenting moment. If it wasn’t for my husband getting to her RIGHT in the nick of time I am sure she wouldn’t be here today. So I understand that terror you felt with Boston. Thank the LORD there wasn’t a shark and he was saved in a timely manner.

I loved this video! Rain days are so fun. I'm so glade Boston is ok, Very scary moment.

Joel with the kids, so sweet. ✨ so glad Boston was ok! What a scary experience for him. ✨ Did the tornado weather get any worse than the rain you were showing? That was a lot of rain still. ✨

Happy Wednesday, Bonnie!😊😊😊😊😊😎☀💙💙💙💙💙💙🌷💖💖💖💖💖💖🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇👍. I'm so glad that everyone is ok🙏when the tornado appears in the Florida keys. Also, last night, there were 2 confirmed tornadoes in the state of Michigan (my state😮😮)! Trees came down, power lines are down, and the rooftop of the warehouses...are gone!😢😢. But no one got hurt (thank heavens🙏).

OMG....Boston.....so glad that you're okay. How frightening that must have been for you and those around you. Be REAL careful of letting the kids run around in those Florida storms. If there is thunder, there is lightning. As one whose brother was stuck by lightning, with NO rain close, it can be BAD!

@@bonniehoelleinI’m very glad to see you considering this advice. It’s true, those Florida storms are full of lightning. When we go to the beach for vacation, you pretty much just know it’s gonna rain nearly every day. My husband is a stickler about it. When the black clouds & rain roll in, we pack it up & go inside till it passes.

Omg..hope you all are ok? Stay safe❤

The music choice during the montage at church was awesome. Why am i wondering if youre ever going to live in that beautiful home Joel and the kids built lol??? You guys sure love the Florida life and weather! Much love from Wilsonville Oregon

Oh I’d love to hear Bonnie play piano….please let us hear her and the children 🎶💕

Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤❤

You’ve been on my mind lately Bon 💜💜💜💜! Sending you my love from Illinois 💜

Your emotions are raw and real

Glad Boston’s ok.

I’ve fallen off a boat before when I was 9 and I fully understand what Boston means about it feeling like a dream

Bonnie 😍I’m a silent follower since Boston was a toddler!! And you were pregnant with Lincoln but my goodness you’re absolutely glowing and your hair is flourishing the curls are curling 😂I’m happy to see you doing much better ❤

I so sorry what happened I hope he is okay ✅

Thats so funny. As Im watching I thought i hear the rain. I thought is it raining in the video sound or raining outside? Its raining here too. lol

I felt so bad for Boston, 😢 he has always had a special place in my heart for him since he was just a baby and loved the Hulk! He has such a tendency ❤️.

omg the church clip!!!! adorable

So glad he's ok

Okay I think that is so sweet. He has a card of Jared’s dad music 😭 how sweet is that?!

y’all got wonderful content!!!!

i love vlogger joel era 😂

Great vlog today you guys I love all of you guys so much and I hope that you are all having a wonderful day today ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Boston- I am so glad you are okay. You are much loved and prayed for little buddy. You make this mom in Kentucky of two college girls - smile. The world is better because you’re in it. Continue to be awesome!

Oh my goodness this vlog had everything in it

This was an emotional video, it had it all. ❤

Oh wow

I am loving your Florida vlogs x Brings back memories of watching you all in Hawaii 🌴

What a fun and tender video! Florida looks so good on you all, especially Joel, he looks so content. I’m glad Boston is ok! Stay safe! Continually praying for you all! ❤

Bonnie so angelic playing the piano. I love it

When I was a kid my mom would let us play In the rain and mud puddles. We would be covered In dirt. Lol

I’m so glad Boston is ok, wow Olivia good job being there to help, I get your feelings Bonnie, I was same with all my babies. You’re such a very good mommy Bonnie.💕

This video made my heart so happy Bonnie!! Thinking of your family this week

I know what you were referring to about upcoming decisions. I watched the statement given by your sister. I truly believe she was sorry for her actions though she still has to pay dearly for it. But God is a merciful God and if we confess our sins and have a true sorrow, he will forgive us. It won't be easy on the family but she has a loving family who can still love her through it all. The children will get the help they need and someday will be able to forgive her, if they haven't already. You are an inspiration to many on how a family should be in this world we're living in today. Keep pressin' on!

I’m glad you’re all ok.

I was just thinking about you guys with this weather coming today. My favorite family show to watch!❤

A tornado warning on vacation years ago with my sisters and our kids staying at the beach in a travel trailer, it was very scary.Thank goodness we were ok. I remember the video of Olivia playing in the rain in a mud puddle sweet video

So glad Boston is ok.

I felt that so much when you were saying how emotional you get when yiur kids are scared or hurting. My 17 year old got into a car accident 2 days ago and totaled his car. Luckily he walked away with a mild concussion but since we left the hospital and the shock wore off i cant stop crying. The thought of my baby getting hurt and scared hurts me like nothing else. ❤

I was wondering what y’all would do in a bad storm 😮

Love your family so much!! I love how you let your kids just be kids! And you don’t rush them to grow up. I also love how you try to keep them so genuine and down to earth, even though you share your life as an influencer. You don’t seem to let the pressure of others’ extravagant lifestyle affect you. ❤️ These videos have been my favorites!!

Did Joel’s parents go home?

I'm guessing this was on Sun Feb 18th if I had to guess because I was trying to fly into Ft Lauderdale and we got diverted to Ft Myers because the storms were so bad! Let me tell you turbulence is no fun!!!!

As long as I get a bonnie vlog at the end of the day life is good❤

Just a little caution warning if you have another storm. We are the lightening capital of the world so if you guys hear thunder be sure and get inside. There is so much lightening in thunderstorms here in florida. I dont want any of you zapped! 🥰🌴🌺

What a beautiful vlog (as always)!💛 Can you explain why you are the primary president if you are in a totally different part of the US? Did you volunteer to do it, while you are in Florida? I'm not LDS, so I don't quite understand how it works :)

Such a wholesome loving family,love you all.💕💕💕

Slight tornado warning? If its a warning take cover. A watch ,keep an eye on the weather. Be safe.

Good advice. One landed it just wasn’t very big. Kind of wild.

Goodmorning Hollien family. Wow glad you guys are okay and safe.❤❤

Is it Hurricane season?

We are thinking, loving, (((((((HUGGING))))))) all of you! I loved the video in church, you playing the piano, and Joel(ie) directing them to sing! PRICELESS!!!

Oh Boston. 😭 Your children have always had the sweetest purest hearts. So glad Boston is okay after that scare!

Good grief Bonnie you look so simple yet stunning!! ❤ Praying that your family can somewhat rest and move forward now.

I was very touched by your emotion after learning Boston had fallen into the ocean. I imagine that your feelings are more intense due to the recent events in your family. I’m sure you want to protect your children even more now. I hope everyone (parents and siblings) are doing well after the sentencing. I can’t even imagine the pain and trauma you guys are dealing with. My hope is for healing and restoration of your extended family. Love can do wonders, especially unconditional love.

I understand your feeling of tenderness at church. We had a small church and the main room would turn into the dining area after church. Everyone worked together to bring out tables and food. It was a feeling of a huge family all working together. Fellowship just brings a lot of love to a group.

😮😊

Glad you are ok Boston ❤

Thank you for feeding my soul. I sincerely mean that. ❤

Bonnie im so happy you had such a beautiful sunday and im so happy you are here in Fl during this really hard time. You are always in my thoughts and my prayers and your true love and compassion for you children touches my soul. Sending you so much love my dear friend ❤🌴❤🌴❤

ok not me snottin’ over joel and the lil kiddies ❤ so sweet!

Joel is so handsome. He looks so good with his hair longer. And....you can sure tell who his children's father is. They favor him so much. Y'all are a lovely family. 🌿🌺🌿🌺🌿

13:26 I love your shirt Bonnie! Simple but adorable!

Bonnie has the purest mom heart ❤❤❤

Loved this video!! You are a wonderful family!!❤

Aww, 😢 Boston, I'm so glad nothing happened to you, buddy. You are so sweet, and I have said this before, but you remind me of my first born twin nephew Matt. He is as kind as you and a ball of fun!! Wow, Bonnie, hearing the story of you telling us I was on edge, too, if this happened to one of my kiddos. I'm so glad you are all alright during the storm too!! We just had a ⛈️ thunderstorm come through here in Ohio last night with a tornado watch in the area. It was crazy being the end of February for us.😮

New take on “money laundering!” 😅😮. Being from a desert state, I don’t blame the kids going out to play in a tropical storm!😜👍🏻🙏🏻

How beautiful to see how you have become so involved in your new temporary church.
