You were never supposed to see this!
We took our entire family of 10, my wife and 8 kids, on a 2000 mile road trip from California to Colorado! Altogether it was about 26 hrs of driving. It took us a long time to edit this video, so we weren’t even sure if we were even going to put this one out.. so here we go, this was the video you were never supposed to see!

Alena has my respect, she is raising the kids with so much grace and strength. The kids are happy and they have their own different personalities with so much conviction and confidence. Well done mama and congratulations on your PHD. And thank you Joe for being a present and loving father and a spouse and I believe that’s where the children get their confidence from and that’s where Alena gets her strength from. God bless you guys. And May God continue to cover your home and give you a good life. I love your Chanel so much and thank you for sharing your journey. 😊❤

Alena, you were meant to be a mother. Your compassion, patience, strength & laughter is endless! Joel is kind, strong, even keel and a great example of a father whose consistent in the life of his children. The skills you all teach your children at a young age (swimming, sharing in the house hold responsibilities, working hard in school, looking out for one another, etc)- are skills that will stay with them forever! (Teach a child in the way that he should go, and he will not depart from it.) And the seed that you all are planting in their spirits theu traveling is teaching them to be curious and adventurous about the world! Keep it up Mazelee, God bless!!

I love the way you corrected her behavior without causing harm. Giving her an example of how she should voice what she needed was perfect. Your kids look so happy. Going going Mom.
These kids have experienced so much. They have so many stories to tell their kids about upbringing. Always an adventure and always learning. What a blessing
Joe and Alena are rock star parents! Raising their children in the Lord is everything. Our children need love, faith and an unshakable sense of who they are in Christ to be successful in this world. They knew the assignment!❤

That Ajiou song was adorable. She seemed to enjoy when her siblings chimed in on singing. ❤ Also, the little baby is so chill and relaxed. Beautiful little baby ❤

Another excellent video! What a great pair of parents! Eight kids and 24 hrs in a van! Who else would spontaneously take on such a journey? Joe and Alena that’s who! I also love scenes where Azaio speaks up! There is something special about her to me. Thank you for sharing.
I just love Ajaiu, she’s an old sole at 3. Aajay (Alena and Joe) is such a blessing. He sing, talks, and understands. He’s very happy and jolly baby with all the family love.

All respect to this couple. Nothing is impossible....
I absolutely loved this video! The water was so soothing for me to watch. Little Butters was captivated by it. The children are all so beautiful! Thank you Joe and Alena for bringing us into your world! We love you!
The baby was super chill in the hot springs....he's cool as a breeze like his daddy!
Imagine a child being told she has a good heart. Like wow. Thank you. ❤ That really stood out to me.
Always nice watching this family Joe is so pleasant and great job to mom

Alena and Joe you are inspiring. I want to travel this country as well. Your family is blessed to have you as parents and you are blessed with amazing children
The new baby “butters” is sooooo adorable 🥰
So cute how the baby always holds his little fists together 🤗
What a lovely family . From the beginning I followed Alena with her 4 girls and Joe I enjoyed your videos : Alena when you was talking your mother . I think your parents were a good example. Your family is a good example for other families. May God bless your whole family 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️
He is so cute, and he looks like daddy Joe. Joe I am so happy for you, because you got another boy. I can also see how proud you are 👏. Congratulations. Mummy is always a happy mother. Beautiful ❤️

I really needed this vacation family! Thanks for taking us along and bringing back Christmas in March!❤
I’m glad y’all had a wonderful time with the family. Your older children help one another and help take care of the little ones. You and Joe can enjoy yourselves and relax a little. Good for them.
What i love about this family is they are not on camera 24/7 they are about quality over quantity and i think it gives them time to be normal and spend time as a family instead of obsessing about capturing everything!
I love this! Alena had a whole concert in the pool. This should've been your musical video.
This is the best family ever on the internet. I been watching this family since the oldest girls was the younger ones and they always been inspiration. I truly enjoy their contribution to the internet as a family with great faith but also a lot of love for each other. Thank you Mazelee for all you do!
Blessings beautiful family ❤ You guys are truly enjoying yourselves and making great memories.. Colorado Springs is a beautiful place to make them. Thanks for sharing ❤

I’ve been to Vail, Colorado and while it was absolutely beautiful, I had the worst headache and breathing restraint. It was awful and felt so guilty for the rest of my traveling party. Due to the altitude, I could barely cope; I stay on Tylenol, Excedrin, humidifier and lots of water. Unfortunately, I won’t be visiting ever again but it was a great time as far as activities, geography and food. A really beautiful place.
