Bonnie and Joel: Pack-Cacking it | Part 13

[IceCreamCone]

I realize a lot of people don't like how Bonnie parents, but you really have to admit that her and Joel have some of the happiest, most appreciated, and loved kids on You Tube. Their vlogs feel like real life from things like Joel having to share his breakfast with the kids, and Lincoln stalling and acting cute when Bonnie tried to get him ready for bed. They aren't some of the larger than life You Tubers. They really are still just a family. Unlike most vloggers, they may actually be better off for Joel having quit his job to help out at home. Bonnie and Joel seem more connected, and the kids seem to be reaping the benefits of his time. It struck me that Lincoln wanted to go find his daddy when he hurt his finger. Most kids would go find mom because thats when they are used to.

Like them or not, those are some loved kids and I feel like it shows in the way they vlog.

Call me overprotective but this scene almost gave me a anxiety attack! Joel was so far away, I never let my almost 2 year old more than arms reach away near a road.

They are closer to the road than I would allow my kids to be, but maybe Linc has been taught to never go across the sidewalk and onto the grass. You've said you let your son play unsupervised in the back because he knows the rules right? Maybe Lincoln and Cody have rules they are supposed to follow? They aren't on the curb, there is still about 3 or 4 feet of grass before the road.

Ellie and Jared don't have a front yard so Calvin actually just plays on the street. I've never seen you express anxiety about that.

Ellie shows the kids on the street A LOT on social media. I think Jared is more careful to leave it out if the vlogs. It's like they've seen the Hoellein kids watch out for eachother, so they assume Jackson can watch Calvin, only they forget he's 3.

Regardless, a lot of people don't follow hen on social media so they may not comment on it because they don't see it.

But I agree with you that Cody and Linc wee sitting quietly and calmly so it was probably fine.

I don’t know if I’m too busy or what... I haven’t watched a vlog in awhile, and tried watching one today because Olivia looks like she’s grown quite a bit, but was so bored and stopped within the first couple of minutes. Same with DailyBumps. Do I even need this app anymore?! What’s happening to me?! Lol

Oh you still need the app. Sound like DB and E&J are in a baby race

[whatashitshow]

It was Boston and Lincoln sitting by the road. I wouldn't let my kids sit that close but that's just me.

I know some of you have mentioned Ellie smelling her food before eating it. Did you guys catch her sniffing her sandwich before taking a bite during the lunch scene? It also looks like she didn't know she was being filmed just yet and is thinking "oh crap!!" when she notices.

It also looked like they were eating subs and she had just about finished, but when you see the men you can see they had just started eating, so Ellie may have only got a child's size.

Sounds like everyone was right and Joel is getting a new car "Tomorrow"/in tomorrows vlog.

[calliepaige]

This is what drives me crazy that everyone griffiths sister is on a different posting schedule. Joel’s new car, E&J losing their van, etc we have all seen in someone else’s video by the time the actually family announces it

I was wrong lmao, It WAS the truck from Julie's video!
Joel must of been just hanging out with the kids in the back.

"Mama gonna treat you good" what sort of fucking title is that!?
She stole Joel's thunder and the one and only thing that he wanted. After all his patience, being frugal, loving frank, research for the right truck... she goes and says "I'm buying by man a truck" and calls it a "gift".
Like wtf. Why only today did it turn into a gift and not the past year Joel's been talking about buying himself a truck.

I enjoyed the new truck vlog. I do think she was joking about it being a "gift" from her. It was nice to see them enjoy themselves in an atmosphere I can relate to. I wonder if the dealership gave them any kind of incentive for mentioning them. Awhile back Joel stuck the Dave Smith plate on Frank. He could have just been being funny or covering up their license plate. But it might have been a more clever move. I am looking into affordable minivans and I will say I live no where near Idaho and it made me look at their prices because of Bonnie and Joel's rave review. Now that is a "sponsorship" I can agree with!

[HelloSweetie]

Joel is going to get so much use out of that truck, and I imagine he's going to keep it for YEARS. I appreciate the example that he set for the kids by using Frank as long as he did and not just buying something new because he could. We don't see that on YT at all anymore.

Pretty sure she was joking...actually I think it was a bit of a dig at her viewers. She said she gets a ton of hate for not getting Joel a truck, but really they were waiting.

[HelloSweetie]

Oregon has no sales tax correct?

Dave Smith is in Idaho, and I dont believe they have sales tax...I live in Canada but we have family in Spokane, they rave about Dave Smith...

[natalka81]

I didn't think the title was offensive or anything. I thought it was just an innocent joke- perhaps indeed a stab at the viewers! But I am completely unfamiliar with the idea of going way out of your way to get a vehicle. I guess it's common? Don't they sell trucks in Utah? I suppose it was cheaper even with the airfare to get it where they did? The environmental impact, however...hmm...

[YouTubeIdiots101]

The white truck looks good on Joel

[alym0326]

Before they got the suburban, did they really contemplate putting the baby in the front seat... Did I hear that right???
