From a 23 year old girl who’s parents still overly protect & control her- THANK YOU for letting Avia live her dream. Thank you for being supportive of her. This is so awesome, and I wish her nothing but the best!

Still surreal to me popping back in every so often to see where this family is at, grew up watching them literally EVERY day. First seeing Gavin, now Avia, and more to come no doubt, it’s insane

I remember the little LA house and how small Gavin Avia and Emmi were. Just the 3 kids and Malachi. So little and so grown up in a blink.

Shay and Colette, thank you for allowing us the joy and privilege of watching the kids grow up. I know all of us have said it so many times, but you guys really were like a family to so many of us. To some, you were like parents, to others, you were like siblings allowing us to watch our KZfaq nieces and nephews grow up. Avia was always such a firecracker, so full of spirit, joy, and love. I have been watching since your first year of vlogging, and I always loved her spirit. Many said she was too sassy, too much, but I always cheered for her spirit, and I always loved that you guys allowed your kids the room to be themselves and be a little bit extra because kids deserve that room to grow and explore. I am amazed by the young woman that Avia is becoming, and I'm proud of her KZfaq success. I can not wait to see what great things she does into the future, and I truly believe at the end of the day, because of the foundation that both of you set, she'll do it with a good head on her shoulders and goodness in her heart. Good luck Avia - go make all of your dreams come true!

they’re officially grown up

This is actually so bittersweet. It still shocks me that me and Avia are the same age and have graduated high school in the same year! She has become such a beautiful young woman and I know she is going to do amazing things! I’ve been watching since maybe 2013 so it’s so weird watching the kids grow up as I grow up as well! You guys have literally been one of my biggest KZfaq families and I’m forever grateful for finding this channel all those years ago. Even though we don’t know each other, Avia just know I’m supporting you 100% in your career path and I know you’re going to do great things like I already said! It’s going to be weird not seeing her in the vlogs but I know she’s doing what she loves and that makes me so happy!

Avia seems like such a genuine, kind soul. I love her positivity and independence. You must be so proud of her. Good luck Avia!

Avia is making me feel old! I’ve been around since before Brock was born 😢❤❤ I wish you all the love, happiness and success Avia ❤

I can’t believe Avia has moved out, I have been watching since 2010 and watch Avia’s channel and you guys have raised such a wonderful girl! Best of luck to Avia and her new adventures! Lots of love from Scotland 🩷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It's been so surreal watching everyone grow up! It's so amazing to have parents that are supportive and loving, wanting you to follow your dreams. I'm so happy for you, Avia! 💗

This made me so emotional and made me cry. I’ve been watching since the beginning when there were just the three kids and they were all so small. You guys were always my comfort place after work and throughout life. I moved also moved to Cali but when I was 25 with my parents help and my dad drove with me and my stuff. It was so exciting but also so deeply emotional to leave my family but I’m so happy in Cali and still see my family. Ben here a decade now. Can’t believe it. Good luck Avia. Congrats!

Watching them old clips back is so nostalgic, I remember just sitting in my room on my I phone 4 as a kid religiously watching all your videos. I’m now 20 and I feel like I’ve grew up with all the kids it’s crazy 😢

Dang, I had to pause to let out some tears. I've been watching since almost the start of you journey on KZfaq. I watch Avia grow up and though I know she will boss in LA, it's still sad to see her go. Shay and Colette, you both should be so proud of the amazing children you guys raised, even through all the turmoil. Stay safe in LA Avia and have a blast.

WOW been here for 13 years … crazy to see this family grow ❤ loved checking in daily for all those years and now seeing all the growth is heartwarming!! Love the Shaytards family ❤

I’ve enjoyed watching you two grow through the yrs. You’ve had fun times and not so fun times. You adapted through it all. I would say, the majority of times you have shown your children Love, fun times, dedication, patience and resilience . You taught them, they can accomplish everything and anything. Most of all you taught them to have compassion for others. This has been quite a journey for all of us, watching the children grow up through various stages. I always said, I’ll still follow you guys here on You Tube. Thank you

I can’t wait to see what Avia becomes! She is destined for big things. I can’t imagine how proud you guys feel!

What a wonderful journey. So many possibilities! So much to see! Avia will do amazing things and the family reunions will be so sweet. Rooting for you all!

She was always meant for bigger things I’ve been watching your videos for 12 years. Started when I was a teenager. She always had GOAT energy and she will always achieve whatever she sets her mind to. So happy for her. Greetings from Germany

Time flies! I remembered watching shaytards as a big fan since I was 8/9 now I’m 22. I can’t believe how big everyone is getting. I wish Avia great success in her acting career!

i could cry🥲so proud of avia!! i’ve watched y’all for 10 years of my life so this is just so beautiful to watch how she’s grown up over the years and to now have her own place, INCREDIBLE!👏🏽🥰

she’s all grown up. i love it !! good luck avía

Thank you for vlogging this chapter of your lives!!!❤ all the success and blessings to Avia in this new adventure!!

I’ve been growing up with Avia since 2011 and looked up to her so greatly over the years. In fact, I think I still possess traits from Avia to this day haha! Next week I will be signing a lease to live in an apartment off campus from my college with some of my friends, and seeing this makes me feel proud of the both of us for making it this far! I’ve been super fortunate and lucky to have such great and supportive parents in my new chapter, and knowing how you guys raised her, she will too also have all the support and love from you guys!! Wishing Avia and y’all all the best in this new, nerve wracking yet exciting chapter in your lives!

she’s so grown up i’ll cry right now ☹️ i’ve been watching you guys since i was a CHILD so this makes me super emotional. congrats avia!

God watching all these flash backs are bring back so many memories I feel so old you guys have come so far!! ❤

As someone who moved out at 16 and didn't have parental support and struggled this makes me so freaking happy seeing all the love and support you guys provide for avia and the rest of your kids. Watching you has truly healed a part of me ❤

Ive been watching off and on through out the years since you guys first started in 09 and I must say Shay and Colette you have both done an amazing job at raising those kids. From the clips you share with the world shows that there is so much light and love in the unseen as well. I wish avia luck. Love you guys. Keep living the vida loca ❤

I am so proud of her and it's so emotional of watching this and I still can't believe how much she has grown up so fast, seriously I love your videos and so much memories, I love you guys so much ❤

I left home at 23 and I struggled so hard! I’m sure you all are feeling emotional 😭 I know I felt sad when my big sister left home 😢 Please keep checking in on her!! 18 is still soo young I hope she has a safe stay in LA ❤

Stop why am I in tears 😭😭😭 I began watching y’all in your first year when I was a teen and would have died for y’all to be my parents and family. Now I’m grown with four of my own(including a Brock!) and it’s tearing me up seeing Avia grown up and moved out! Best of luck to her 💕

You guys are amazing. Parents everyone wishes for and they parents I wanna be. Its so amazing to see!! Been here since late 09. Like at 37 now, All of your kids, could be my kids too, but I still feel like one of your kids and then like just watching from the side as an own parent now. Its wild. The amazing humans you’ve raised and the inspiring people they are just bc of you and for Letting them be and go exactly who they wanna be - thank you. Yall are already making the work brighter and yall did and will continue to move mountains. Ill try my best to pass the spirit on to my own little almost 6 year old Emmi Jane. (Named after yours truly) Thanks for this. So proud of all of you!! All the very best for yall always!!!🫶🏻❤️🙏🏻

Wow! This hit harder than I expected it to! I’ve watched you from the beginning and my oldest moved out this year too. I’m STRUGGLING with the new dynamic so this was hard to watch. Hugs to you both! ❤ shoot… to all of you.

Congratulations Avia! Amazing how fast time flies and how fast they grow up.

Oh Avia. I’m so incredibly happy for you ❤️ And shay and Collette, you have been such amazing parents to her, it has been a pleasure watching your family grow. In fact it’s been an honour. It’s not the end, it’s just a new step. ❤ Now go get your dream Avia!!! ⭐️

I'm crying...it's like saying goodbye to one of our own... sending so much love!💜💜💜 love California here wish u all the best!

I can't imagine how proud you guys must be. And also how terrified you must be to have two babies out in the world somewhere. It's so cool to see them grow up and go out and do big things, but they got it from you! They're all such wonderful, level headed kids and I know avia is going to be amazing at whatever she does ❤❤you guys did your jobs well!

So awesome that you have all come so far together and individually ❤

This video brought me to tears. Great job on raising an independent and driven young woman! ❤ Can’t wait to see her do big things!

This brought tears to my eyes. I'm thankful she has so many people to rely on in California if she needs it. Too bad you didn't keep your old apartment there lol Good luck Avia! So excited to see you spread your wings and fly

Ive been watching them growing up for 10+years Full of love and joy

Very happy for Avia and wishing for nothing but success in LA!

I love seeing such supportive parents. My parents weren’t. Avia is going to grow so much more now that she’s on her own and paving her own path.

i love seeing this so much! i’m the same age as Avia and was totally obsessed with watching you guys since i was around 10 years old. Avia had grown into the most beautiful and independent girl ever! seeing all of your kids and families growing up is so bittersweet! love you guys always ❤

This is, something else to watch and not in a bad way. Feeling all kinds of emotions, I've been watching you from pretty much the beginning. I was in high school back in 2008 when I found your channel. I was living in L.A at the time but later moved away and have lived in many different state since and following your vlogs. More recently just checking in here and there. I was maybe 15 when I started watching your videos and I just turned 30 a couple months back. It's amazing to see how much your family has grown. I'm so happy to see and glad you have brought us along for the ride. Best to Avia/princesstard.

Aaaaahhhh I’m so proud of her!! Collette and Shay, I know it’s super hard for you guys to let Avia go, but I know you guys will still have visits and talk every day. She’s adulting now and doing all the things. She’s smart and she will be doing amazing things. I’m so proud of all of you for everything you’ve overcome and everything you’ve accomplished over the years.

They’re back!!! & I’m sobbing!!! You’re destined for great things Avia!!! Thanks for vlogging again guys! I missed you all! ❤

I just came here from watching Avia's video, and I am in TEARS, This is such a bittersweet feeling, and I'm so so so so unbelievably proud of her and how far she's come in life. You, shay, and Katilette, you did your ABSOLUTE BEST, and you raised some of the best kids, and you are seriously by far the BEST family I've ever watched on KZfaq. Thank you, for EVERYTHING you guys. I love you guys with everything I have !! I've practically been watching for well over 7 years now I believe, but this is just an amazing feeling. Okay my ramble's done HA, BYE!

i grew up watching you guys. i feel like i am living through this moment with you, shay and collette you are awesome and so supportive. AVIA!! you are gonna do awesome things. never change guys! (and save the oasis’s)

Since day one I've appreciated these videos. I used to watch you on my 3DS. Watching yalll I felt like I grew up with you. These videos were my saving grace in hard times and it feels like they are coming to a close. I would have never thought what it would be like when everyone grows up. Your channel wasn't fake and it was so laid back. Thank you for filling my childhood with fun and love.

I know you must feel extremely proud of the young woman Avia has grown to be. I watch her youtube channel and see a confident, driven, positive, and inspiring young person with a great heart. Can't wait to see where life takes her!!

Change is hard. And most of the time it is good. I hope all the good things are coming to Avia. You can do it, girl!

Thanks for not putting sad slow music over the montages of old videos. I recently moved to LA (I'm 23) and if that montage was any bit sadder, I truly would've booked a flight home for today lol

It’s crazy to me that I started watching your vlogs a DECADE ago! I feel like I have grown up with your family, which i really have, I’m 22 now and it’s crazy to just still be here watching you guys. ❤️

time truly flies 💔🥺 bittersweet. been along your journey for the last 10 years.. love you all so much

I am so happy for yall! Yall did an amazing job! I cried when Gavin left on his mission and crying now that Princesstard is all grown up and moving into her new apt on her new adventure. Thank yall for sharing so we could follow yalls life journey❤❤❤

Truly amazing how fast time flies. Wishing Avia so much love and luck in LA. Sending hugs to colette and shay, thats not easy, but go you for allowing her to follow a dream🩷 she’s ready because of you.

Oh my heart! I don’t know how you’re all managing your emotions. First Gavin growing up and moving on and now Avia. So so bittersweet

Oh my lanta I am feeling all of the feelings. I just know that everyone has butterflies in their stomach right now with excitement, nerves and an acute awareness of the passage of time. Avia you are going to have the best time ❤

Man, I’ve been watching since before Avia turned 9. We are the same age, so it is crazy essentially growing up with her. Best of luck to her, New great things to come.

I’m so happy for Avia and also sad to see how grown up all the kids are getting 🥺❤️ i started following you guys on the day Daxton was born. Avia and Emmi being silly in the delivery room meeting their baby brother❤️ and now Avia is starting a huge chapter in her life❤️ Lots of love to you🥺❤️

So happy to have a video to watch, miss you guys!

Y’all have done amazing mom and dad 👏 thank you for letting us witness it.❤

watching this and always remembering how much i wanted to be like avia, it makes me feel so proud. she's been though so much and she's making things happen. she's doing amazing things. you guys raised her so well, i bet you guys are so proud of her. i'm so happy for you guys.

I still can't believe Avia is literally an adult 🥺 I'm so proud of her! I can't imagine how sad it was to see her go but it's clear you both support her unconditionally in this new journey of hers. How exciting! I can't believe we've watched her go from the young princesstard she once was into the lovely young woman she is today. She just seems so positive and lovely, you've done a wonderful job raising her (and all the kids, obviously). 🥰 I wish her nothing but the best on this new journey! Time flies so fast!

I used to watch you guys a decade ago when I was growing up & leaving home. It's honestly surreal to see Avia grow up & become a woman. Princesstard is going to succeed so well with her family's support & ours 🎉 congrats & see ya on the flip side lady! ❤

Man I used to watch y’all when I was like 8 man time flies, everybody so grown up now, hope y’all been good

I remember starting to watch her when she was little princesstard. She has grown into a beautiful young lady. Good luck on your dreams Avia!

This is so Amazing! I've been watching you all since you started vlogging and some great memories. So happy for Avia and her new adventure. I always knew she would continue what you and Collette started. Prayers for you all! Love y'all! ❤️❤️

I'm so proud of Avia! 😍❤️🖤💜💕💞✨👩

Oh my gosh, talk about tears! When you had those flash back videos of you guys moving to California.. I’m not gonna lied I teared up! Aghh..😭😭

I just have to say Collette, you were such a wonderful Mom, and still are today! You raised such a beautiful, kind and intelligent children. They had such a beautiful life that you and Shay could ever give to a child.😀🌸🌻

Yay for Avia! I guessed she was going to move to either LA or NYC, but was leaning more toward LA since its a shorter flight and you guys have friends in California that could help Avia out if she needed it. I moved out for the first time shortly after turning 24 (I went to college and then graduate school after highs chool) and I was in a different state and 5.5 hours from home. Took about a week to adjust but then it was AWESOME!!! Good luck to avia and glad it was a smooth move for all of you guys!

growing up with you and these feelings that this types of video make me.. love you from Italy.. keep posting we sent you a huge hug

So proud of you avia. You really are making your dreams come true. We love you. ❤❤

Shay, I have watched you since I was a kid. Since the Lisa Nova / Kassem G days. Now I have my own kids and I always aim to have the same energy as you in your videos. You are a great father. Your kids are a shining example of your expert levels of parenting. I will always look up to you man. So glad to see you doing well. ❤

They’ll always still be babies to me 🥰 good luck avia! You’re gonna ace it out there

I love y’all so much honestly such a big fan I’ve been watching y’all since I was little so glad y’all are still making videos 🫶🏽

May God bless Avia on this new journey. She’s gonna do great things

Wow seeing all of your kids grown up is wild! I wish nothing but the best for all of them! Blessings for Avia as she starts her own journey in life. Outside the nest 🪺

I started watching you guys 8 years ago, man it feels like yesterday that avia was a little princess and now she’s all grown up it reminds me that life is soo short and we should appreciate and make the most out of the time we have on this earth ..

It’s just so precious that all the kids have their dad’s infectious smile. such a fun family
