When you told Melinda you guys had to leave, from the look on her face I could tell she didn’t want y’all to go. Then when she called… aww, Melinda is a single mom who probably is used to doing things by herself so having you guys there felt nice. We are never too old to need/want our parents.

Melinda seems more mature and levelheaded then most people her age. The love she has for he daughter shows on her face whenever she interacts with her. ❤

I can’t wait for Joe to have his own family. He’s so great with all of your kids and grand baby. He’s going to be an amazing husband and dad one day!!

Melinda was so touched with you both buying her shopping. Scarlet is such a polite little girl a credit to Melinda. Aaron and Joe struggled with the table a little, so glad Melinda waited for them to move the table. Blessings to you all.

Jamie is so appreciative when she receives things , that’s a great quality trait to have !

I love how you did this for all your adult kids!!! I think it’s so sweet and amazing!!! I just love yall

It’s soooo sweet that Jamie calls you her best friend your mother daughter relationship is beautiful

Everyone go watch at 22:46 that sweet look Aaron gave Crystal. Oh my gosh my heart melted 🥹

The phone call with Melinda had me in tears instantly! I had an extremely toxic childhood. I was abused in every way possible since the age of 4. My whole life ive strived for perfection just to be accepted and loved by my mom. Shes terminal and I put off my whole life to help her and be there for her she admits out of her 7 kids shes always treated me the worst and yet im the only one there for her. Im 33 and she just moved 3hrs away a year ago and about 6 mo after she left she started saying I love you when she realized just how much ive always done for her. When I was pregnant with my son she told me to get an abortion and give him up for adoption the entire time. She even talked the nurse into letting her in the delivery rm against my wishes where she proceeded to tell me to give him up. The first and only positive thing shes ever said to me is that she is proud of the mom I became and she can't believe how good of a mom I am to my son especially doing it on my own. I love how supportive and loving you guys are to all your kids and its beautiful to see the way they appreciate all you do for them. I love watching your videos and hope to do foster care in the future after growing up in and out of foster care. Just know you guys showing your lives for the world to see gives others inspiration and a sense of family❤❤

I have been watching you for a few years and I think this might be my favorite video. As a single mom myself I know how much this meant to Melinda, not just the extra groceries but that time with mom and dad ❤

Melinda, you are an amazing mom, daughter and friend. 💝 Watching you grow and raising Scarlett, has touched my heart.❤💐

My mom was helping me a lot. My name was on her checking account. She’d ask me do u need money for the ulitily bill . She’d say go write a check & be sure to deduct it. I was the one to balance her check book. She was always helping. Miss my mother. I know Melinda appreciated that. Wonderful parents ❤❤❤❤❤

Oh Aaron. Your so funny. I just love how you guys think of the older kids. Buying them groceries to buying tickets to a me or trips. Not very many parents would do this. Hugs 💕💕

Haha my toxic trait is……….I’m SUPER NEEDY, I’ll straight hug my parents like 4-5 times in a day each and if they don’t let me I get a little DRAMATIC🤣🤣🤣💯

Poor Joe....his heart was so broken over the fact they don't put toys in cereal boxes any more. It's ok, Joe! It broke my heart, too, when they stopped doing it! We love you, Joe❤❤ Much Love Always, Kristen B 💕💕💕💕

Jamie is the sweetest! Actually all your children are lovely! I love that you did the surprise grocery shopping to help your adult kids and also how much they appreciated it. Scarlett is adorable! I shop like Crystal! Love greek yogurt! hot sauce and yogurt, not sure about it! Joe is hilarious! My friend literally went from Canada to US for 10 jars of Claussan pickles! I eat oatmeal all the time, that brand but didn't know about the line! We still have toys in our cereal! My mom loves pickled pigs feet!

Melinda hit the jackpot 😂😂😂 with the price of groceries these days!! I love snacking on pepperoni too!! Melinda and I like a lot of the same snacks and foods😊

You are so right that there are times you just want your mom. I still do and my mom has been gone 10 years.

Melinda is beautiful! She got some good groceries.

Aw that was nice to help with groceries :) I'm a bit confused what eating healthy has to do with glutenfree/lactose free eating. It is not more healthy unless you are intolerant to those foods. Many glutenfree foods are not low carb and they often have less nutrients like iron, folic acid etc than the regular version, so if you are looking for healthy as in more nutritional value, then glutenfree is not necessarily the way to go unless you really need it for intolerance reasons.

So true. Our parents were always there. Now both of my parents have past and so many times would love to see them and talk. Husbands mom has pass too. She was wonderful to me as a daughter in-law.

Aww...that's so sweet to help Melinda out! She's definitely a wonderful mom!❤😊

Scarlet is adorable 🥰

Joe keeps laughing....all the time! I love it!

I just love Melinda so much she’s such a great mama,daughter friend etc.Scarlett is just the cutest I can’t believe how big she is.Crystal and Aaron you guy’s are great parents and grandparents.much love to you all Crazypieces!!!🥰🫶

Loved that you guys sang I Want it That Way, I’ve loved bsb for years

I loved the moment with Jamie and the necklace. ❤❤❤

Omg your hair is beautiful I love the new color!❤

Ahhhhh I love you guys, and I know you love Scarlet, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take her to an allergist. She is far too young and tiny to be doing oral food challenges without having an epipen and/or a doctor nearby for observation. While it is true you can be allergic to just one nut, the proteins in nuts generally cross react, as do the facilities where they're processed. Without skin testing, blood testing, and then possibly oral challenges IN office; it will be very hard to figure out what all she is reacting to. If she has an IgE mediated allergic reaction with nuts, then every single time she eats the food she could have a more severe allergic response and potentially full blown anaphylaxis or death. Things like exercise or illness like a cold can lower the bodies response to fighting the allergy and make a reaction more severe as well. Aka the timing of when she is given a challenge food is important. I know allergy testing can be expensive, but they should have a community clinic that has a sliding scale or possibly free services. Food allergies are extremely difficult to test for because there are so many different types of allergic reactions like the IgE mediated, oral allergy syndrome, delayed onset reactions, mast cell reactions, etc. It is very important your doctor develop a baseline with her before she experiments with certain things. If she does have an actual allergy, eliminating it from the diet for 2-4 weeks will help, but then the introduction can be much more severe because her tolerance for the food will be lower. Aka anaphylaxis is more likely to occur and it's mandatory that she have an epi pen close by, as Benadryl can simply mask the allergic reaction and children have died as a result. Some nurses and doctors are ill-informed in relation to Benadryl masking as well and you would need to seek advice from an expert on when it is okay and when she might need overnight monitoring, etc. I remember getting hives in my throat as a 5 year old and just coughing a ton after eating eggs once. I don't remember having a reaction prior to that. I didn't know how to tell my parents what was going on. If she is coughing after eating a food, that could be a really good sign she is allergic to something. At age 21 I cut the food out, and now have anaphylaxis if it is consumed. Also, this is not just off of personal anecdote. Food allergies were a passion for me and I have not only studied extensively on my own but got my degree and had classes on medical nutrition related to allergies. A nut allergy is a big deal, but also they have a lot of treatments that could "cure" her if done in her childhood. So it's important she be tested for her own safety and longevity. There is a specialist in Long Beach that works with food allergies. He has developed a method to cure food allergies, but his program is very expensive and requires many visits and eating specific foods. Also if you can't find a good food allergist in AZ, Rady's in San Diego is renowned for their pediatric food allergy research and treatments. Dr. Laubach and the whole Asthma and Allergy practice off Ruffin rd is related to Rady's and they are all phenomenal too. I really really really hope you guys see this. Not trying to freak you out, food allergies really aren't something to figure out on your own. Love you guys, stay safe! Sorry it's so long. Food allergy advocacy is also passion of mine.

That was a fun shopping vlog! ♥️

Love how all of you help everyone I was a wal Mark one time and thought I was getting in my vehicle and it was not mine love your family ❤

Crystal and Aaron you are both great parents and I really enjoy watching your videos. You are a cute couple and always seem so happy together!!! I wish nothing but the best for you and your family

You guys are amazing parents, and I *LOVE* Aarons energy at the end of the vlogg ❤❤❤

Crystal’s comment about Aaron being a Chicago boy made me laugh too hard.😂 Born and raised in central IL and most of the year you will see me in a sweatshirt and pants. Many days of summer I’m in pants as well. I wasn’t meant to be born in this weather!!! 😂😂

Best parents ever your children are all so blessed❤

This is sweet! Love seeing Melinda.

Lol Crystal, you made no mention of the fact that your mum is still helping you out, most weekdays. That is so nice of her. (I know you pay her.)

Chocolate Covered Katie is one of my favorites to go to for gluten free and dairy free recipes!! She has a coconut milk caramel sauce: 13.5 oz coconut milk 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, honey, or agave 1/4 cup brown sugar OR simply increase the above liquid sweetener to 2/3 cup 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract 1/4 tsp salt optional 1 tbsp butter-type spread or coconut oil, for richer flavor

Crystal I just love your air that color. Your eyes pop and it makes you shine! Melinda really hit the jackpot. The other kids got a few special things and she filled a cart! Crystal what about Scarlet calling you Mimi? It’s a cute name and suits you!

Hello crazy Pieces thank you for sharing another amazing video you are wonderful people and I appreciate you so much ❤❤

My kids love those tube yogurts Scarlett picked out. A fun mom hack we put them in the freezer for a nice frozen treat. ❤❤❤

Aaron, Crystal and Joe: how sweet of you all help Melinda and Scarlett out. Melinda you are AMAZING MOTHER. Aaron and Crystal: you great PARENTS and amazing children you have. Aaron: good luck for your team.

jamie is so cuteee and melinda is doing an incredible job everyone can be so blessed to have you guys as their parents🙏🏻❤️

love you guys 😘😘

It’s so nice to see Aaron and Joe helping shop forMelinda

Jamie is the sweetest

I want to say that getting groceries is always one of the greatest gifts. We struggle being able to keep food on the table for our kids. My husband had a medical problem and lost his job after surgery. We have been struggling to get basic needs. This video reminds me how wonderful it is to help even with just groceries. You never know how badly someone may need that help.

I laughed when you said Aaron dips out on putting groceries away... I always had my son bring groceries in from the car, and I put them away then he grew up and moved out... Now my Husband brings the groceries in and of course, I put the groceries away... Love the video, Melinda is such a nice Woman...❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰

Can I just say this vlog made my day ❤️ I wish I could meet you all at list once. Truly are amazing family! Love you all!

I love Melinda shirt color..looks so nice on her.

That was so much fun. In New Jersey we have to use reusable bags. They don’t have any plastic bags in the stores anymore. Very few stores have paper bags so if you forget your reusable bags in the car/home, you have to bring it all in one item at a time!

I put All the fridge and freezer stuff away straight away but tins and packets wait until I get a break as I have fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis so have to take a break in between

I tried those same chickpea noodles the other day from Walmart- they’re good but do leave a funny residue on the pan For me the worst part of grocery shopping is all of the lugging of the bags in and out. I do Walmart pickup now, always. It is so convenient.

I wish I had the help you give all your kids. You are awesome.

Crystal you were right. The packets of oatmeal take 1/2 cup water or milk. I only use the plain oats in the tube because the packets are loaded with sugar. For taste I put a little maple syrup and brown sugar in.

I don’t know if you read all the comments but I went to a friends house today and she had managed to find “PRIME” drinks at our Walmart. Then she used her Walmart +app to check the supply at nearby stores for curbside pick up. Knowing your kids were so excited when they found the PRIME drinks at Walmart I thought this might help you aquire some in the future💗 I love how much you love each of your kids. It truly inspires me

Melinda may need a "break" from doing it on her own. It is very difficult on a single mom. Burnout is real and being overwhelmed.

4’11”, I feel you girl. Love your channel.

I love the enjoy life chocolate chip cookies. When I had to be gluten and dairy free for a while, I really liked being able to eat those. One of my old jobs the company is closed now, but the building we worked in used to be where enjoy life was located. They were in the building before us.😀

Hi guys, I'm single parents too. I have a six year old, and she has special needs. I understand how Melinda feels and know you guys are amazing parents and grandparents to Scarlett. ❤ my parents does the same thing come with me groceries shopping and helping me take care of my daughter. ❤❤

Greek plain yog is great with dill or whatever dried herbs and use for dipping chips or raw veggies! Cucumbers for the win!

I have to say.. you and your aunt are really glowing with the darker hair!! skin looks flawless and you both look younger!

What a wonderful thing you are doing for you adult kids!

Malinda is such an amazing mother to Scarlett she is so blessed to have an amazing mother so glad that you guys went grocery shopping together good luck with coaching Rylan and Logan basketball team I get so excited when you guys post can’t wait for more videos

You’re hair is looking so great it really fits you!😊

Be careful as not all gluten free stuff is healthier they tend to add more sugar, salt and fats in them to make them taste better

The trufru ice creams are so good I love the chocolate covered strawberries

Some cereals have been doing toys again but it’s not the same as when we were kids. It’s in plastic and outside of the plastic in the box on top or in the bottom! Lol.

🥰 All the love to Melinda and Scarlet from Finland 🥰

Pivot! Pivot! Lol love friends

Love your hair color Crystal it glows you up really nicely. I think you're a beautiful Nana, grandma sounds so old.

Aron and Joe are so funny 😂😂

You guys are awesome to do the grocery haul

Jamie's nails look great! So sweet you got her a chain too.

Y’all have to try the “melt the cheese in the pan then roll it up and sprinkle with garlic powder & dip in ranch dressing” great snack!!

Glama! I love it!!!

my granddaughter and i put them in the oven or air fryer and make pepperoni chips they are so good. and its low carb. I love anything crunchy just use parchment paper lots of oil that comes off of the pepperoni

love you, guys.

Pepperoni in cottage cheese is so good. I always do pickles in cottage cheese

I'd do shopping for my girls I love it I love to help out I think most parents help their older kids in some way.

What a nice parents 💕

The chocolate strawberry’s are amazing

melinda is such a great mom scarlet is such a great lil girl i love the relationship between you all i am also adopted and have close relationship with my parents as well love you guys so much hope to meet you one day
